Excited to see this announcement from CM Corporation for a Brave Gohkin release of the UFO Robot Grendizer. Pre-ordering has already started and the product is expected to be released by July of this year. I've always loved the releases of CMs Corporation, particularly the Mekanda Robot
This toy will stand 210 mm or approx 8+ inches and will be made out of Diecast, ABS, ATBC-PVC and POM. Along with the Grendizer robot it comes with the Spacer and a slew of weapons. It comes equipped with 4 spin saucers with 2 pairs being similar. One pair comes equipped with spin drills while the other doesn't.
Shoulder, crotch and leg joints pull out to expand the range of movement of the toy to allow for action poses. There are also 2 pairs of screw crusher punches included with this model. The double harken weapon of Grendizer is also included by means of a pair of blades and shafts.
The Brave Gohkin 40 UFO Robot Grendizer is up for pre-order for 24300 yen at Amiami, 25330 yen at HobbyLink Japan
I grew up watching the Force Five cartoons of Jim Terry that adapted popular Go Nagai animes into an English format. I don't see much giant robot cartoons anymore and I guess it's understandable, because people who appreciated that format are becoming fewer. To today's generation it might sound and look boring, but in our time, "that" was the new.
