heh i am glad i manage to score the GX-04S on ebay for $110 free shipping and i must say i love it, specially the detail on the head. when i took it out of the box the first time he was looking at me really mad, like he was about to jump on me and kill me or something lol.
of course the figure is not perfect, it still has some flaws that i wish they could fix. - The Screw Crasher Punch part gets bended to easily if you leave his arm bend for to long. - The leg articulation is more limited than the GX-01R ( I think Grendizer's leg articulation is almost if not equally the same as the GX-49 Shin Mazinger Z), i think if they manage to redesign him maybe he can use the GX-45 or the SRC articulation for the legs. - The Double Spacer belt connector is short and does not reach all the way to Grendizer's waist but stays on the back. - The Spacer's back door (on mine so far, i don't know about you guys) does not fully close.
this are some grips i got with he figure, but nevertheless is still a awesome figure.

heh i am glad i manage to score the GX-04S on ebay for $110 free shipping and i must say i love it, specially the detail on the head. I got mine from eBay too but it cost me 'bout $300 USD (including shipment). Congratulations for your good deal! when i took it out of the box the first time he was looking at me really mad, like he was about to jump on me and kill me or something lol. HaHa! You are not a Vegan Ally, aren't ya? of course the figure is not perfect, it still has some flaws that i wish they could fix. - The Screw Crasher Punch part gets bended to easily if you leave his arm bend for to long. - The leg articulation is more limited than the GX-01R ( I think Grendizer's leg articulation is almost if not equally the same as the GX-49 Shin Mazinger Z), i think if they manage to redesign him maybe he can use the GX-45 or the SRC articulation for the legs. - The Double Spacer belt connector is short and does not reach all the way to Grendizer's waist but stays on the back. - The Spacer's back door (on mine so far, i don't know about you guys) does not fully close. - I wish it had more articulation for the legs too! - The joint of its Double Harken is not strong enough. - I wish they added the missile launcher to the TFO (which I have slightly repaint it ;D See my GX-04S photo album)*. - Grendizer cannot stand steady if you combine display base #1 with #2 (I know that it should be in its Spazer when the bases are combined, but I wished they could give it some space to be standing too when you combined the bases). - Spazer's backdoor is not satisfying indeed, specially when Dizer's in. - No spare parts in case you lose or break somethin' but nevertheless is still a awesome figure. I AGREE 100%!*To view some of my GX-04S pics, please click on the image below!

Guys, I need your opinion please! I want to make a glass container for my GX-04S to protect it from dust. So, as I am tied to the space of a shelf, I have to make up my mind and select a way to display the SOC, so that I can set the measures for the glass container. I need your opinion with the 3 ways...which one do you like more: 1, 2 or 3 THANK YOU!

i prefer the first one the most. Me too, DroutMaster...but darn, I can't use it as I just found out that the area I can work in is only 25 cm X 56 cm. The first one takes 30 cm X 56 cm

Yeah Grendizer could use a lot of improvements considering it was the fourth SOC released, it would be the last SOC I'd get rid of if I had too, but still there is room for a LOT of improvement.

I think it's a hoax, it was posted awhile ago and you can see the designation GX-58 in the background which we know won't be a new Grendizer.

I think displays #1 and #3 look better... ...I'm leaning towards #1 for space efficiency. zozo-Magengar

LOL! Thank you, guys...you make me hate my shelf more 'n more (cuz it's only 25 cm with one diameter) and to display GX-04S as fig. 1 it takes 30cm+ If I failed to find a solution...I might go with fig. 3 DAMN DUST - enemy of action figures! OK, now I have a question: why is this thread titled Soul of Chogokin: GX-04S UFO Robo Grendizer AF ...what is AF?

You guys, are really wonderful I love how you respect these artistic decoration 'n display details...that makes you really special. OK, so I guess it's now between 1 & 3 ;D I will add a reflector-glass with the background panel of the glass container! I thought to draw some outer space painting using glass-colors but then got lazy to do it LOL! specially cuz I lost my right eye because of damn diabetes. #1 (h32cm X w32cm X w32cm) #3 (h24 X w42 X w22 cm)

I hope I wasn't being rude with that response. After seeing SOCs get remakes and reissues with Letter designations after their numbers, "AF" was new to me (I missed it when this particular Grendizer SOC was released and named as such). So I played along with it, like, "yeah, Bandai released Another Figure of the same robot character." ;D

I think #3 is your best option, since #1 is out of the question. But you can also play around with #3 by putting Grendizer in front of the Spazers & then turning the Spazers to the right or left slightly. There's also enough room in #3 to elevate the Spazers a little with something. You can also put Grendy in different action poses, too. #3 does give you the most options.

No, buddy...but if AF means Action Figure Well, we know that GX-04 is an action fig. LOL! I think #3 is your best option, since #1 is out of the question.

I was thinking the same today #1 & #3 are cool but #3 seems to be the "official display" for GX-04S also because Dizer is supposed to be inside its Spazer...but I read it's not preferable to keep Dizer inside its Spazer for too long (and I still dunno why ) I don't think that keeping Dizer inside its Spazer would do any harm to the legs for example! Why do you think, brothers?
