Between SHF and Gunpla, Bandai sucks up a lot of my money...I'm all too familiar with their evil marketing strategy my friend.

As a major collector of both Gridman and Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad stuff all this recent Gridman / Syber Squad news has got me very giddy...but this is icing on the cake! If I remember correctly, I believe, they had released some drawings of a Dragon Fortress(Drago to us in the States) add-on a while back too. But it looked as though it was just in the early design phases and the drawing was of only the "Dragonic Cannon". Hope more news follows!

I would be ok with that, if it didn't I at least have the old one to play with

Meh. I think normal Gridman looks cooler. Also, if this is a stand alone figure, then I'm kinda surprised it's in Ultra-Act and not SRC.

Kind of disappointed that it's so bulky. Looks very similar to the DX toy in terms of aesthetic but then if this doesn't transform, I don't see the reason for the bulkiness. Maybe it's just me but it would be a whole lot nicer if it was a bit slimmmer.

Looking at the leg I really think this thing transforms to a certain degree
