GoodSmile Thunder Gridman
|
Hippity Hoppity, another Goodsmile take on the Gridman property.
Interesting they're using alloy parts. Maybe it'll make it actually sturdy this time? Probs not if it's not on the figure itself. But the reveal of the Diaclone x Gridman toy a few weeks back made me lose all interest in this. |
It's a collaboration with Sentinel which I imagine is doing the bulk of the work.
|
Expensive.
|
Dang, it's 7-inch scale, which makes it a pass for me. The Tokusatsu Edition looks legit great though, and Sentinel almost always does great work too.
|
It seems just Gridman is around the size of their recent RoboCop release and it was originally marketed as a Hagane Works product until the recent toy show, so the alloy isn't a surprise with the history it has. Hopefully it has better stability than the Ultra-Act.
The promos for the Toku version look great, but I can't justify a 35% cost increase for a paintjob on a toy this expensive, already. Excited to see how the other THE GATTAI figures turn out. |
It looks very nice but it's way too rich for my blood.

Although slapping 10k Yen on the price because of paint and calling it a "Tokusatsu Edition" is kind of hilarious. |
Price seams fair to me, inline with similar products from Bandai or Sentinel. The Toku Edition is a bit of a stretch though.
|
Well, it looks pretty cool, especially the tokusatsu edition. Is it really worth paying that much extra for a paint job, though? Besides, I'm sure the people interested in this would know how to paint things themselves...

Why is this better than Ultra-Act?
|
Charging an extra 10000 yen for a version without stickers is a bit suss. Oh it looks cool though!

Though like others have said, the Diaclone release is likely the one to have if you get any as it will likely be the best of the batch and holds a bit of significance with Takara producing another Gridman toy after the original line. |
So after watching this video a few times two things really bug me. First the light piping on God Zenon is unacceptable at this price point. Second the forearm pieces are loose and it doesn't seam like the elbow joints are going to cope with the weight of them plus the weapon.
