just checked mine. everything is great, except they went overboard on the superglue, so one of the upper elbow joints is locked. it'll cost too much to ship it back so i think i'm stuck with it

I wouldnt worry about it too much, its only a $400+ figure. Thats to be expected. Did you think this was a high end figure? <------ Sarcasm just checked mine. everything is great, except they went overboard on the superglue, so one of the upper elbow joints is locked. it'll cost too much to ship it back so i think i'm stuck with it

just got mine before handling the figure you should know that it have alot of sharp metal point and it WILL cut you no matter what ... my finger still bleeding also make sure that the screw crusher punch smallest spikes are facing you for better movement like this and before moving the arms or bending it move the spikes like hes going to shot the screw crusher punch so you wont break them before placing the shoulder cutter on his shoulder make sure you are on the floor so when they fall (and they well) the dont get scratches now the photos P.s the right hand wasn't attached like the left one the legs joints are extremely very tight i dont know is it just mine or all are like this next to his older brother this thing isn't like any thing Fewture produce before even its proportion are way different what i like the design is insane alot of metal and die-cast and it wont take alot of force to change hands like other releases also the pegs are attached to the hands which is good surprisingly there isn't alot of paint scratches on mine what i don't like no Spazer joints are hard to control but maybe because its new bottom line i highly recommend it , it look awesome next to other Fewture releases and it look much nicer in person last thing if you are not going to display the double spazer dont take out the stand from the bottom because its hard to pack it up like the factory again

Mini review... I was finally able to open and mess around with my Fewture EX Gokin UFO Grendizer. This thing is amazing! I do not own any of the Fewture EX Gokin Getter Robo G figures, but of the other ones I do own, this is the best. The only two things I did not like about it was how super tight the hip joints are, and that it came covered with an oily film. I don't know what this invisible oily film is, and it doesn't affect the figure at all, but it just feels weird when I was handling it. Oh, and of course, Fewture CAN NOT make an EX Gokin figure without having at least one of its components like to fall of at the slightest touch (or just by looking at it for too long). The Chest Cover got that honor in my figure. Actually, it is not too bad, but it did fall of twice while I was changing poses. Never as bad as the Getters thou... So here we go! The Fewture EX Gokin UFO Robot Grendizer measures almost 27CM to the tip of the center spike on its head! The figure alone, weights 923 Grams! The Double Spacer weights 116 Grams! Combined it is over a KILO! Awesome! The paint in 100% flawless on mine, at least what I can see. However, I think one of the eyes is a littler bigger... sort off he is giving me a "disappointed" look. "Hey lugnuts, you think you're a bad-ass cause you're big?!!!" It can almost pull off the "Ironman" signature pose. The Harken blades are 100% metal, very heavy... and their pointy ends are sharp as hell! They do secure perfectly fine on the figure, and will not fall off if pushed in all the way. "Double Harken!!!" These secure perfect and tight. The pegs are big enough so they will not break easily. However, the weight of the actual blades take a toll on the plastic shaft and of course, on Grendizer's wrist joints... and elbow joints... and shoulder joints... you get what I mean. Don't leave it on display with the Harkens on unless they are being supported with something. Kabuto's Double Spacer is also included. It has quite some weight, as the body and cockpit parts are diecast. It plugs in via a retractable peg, which pushes in a spring loaded door on Grendizer's back. The peg is long enough to secure it in place, but if you decide to fly it around the room, make sure not to turn it upside down, as the weight of the Double Spacer will make it fall off. "Screw Crusher Punch!!!" All in all, I have to give this Fewture EX Gokin release a solid TWO-THUMBS UP! Awesome figure, full of diecast, with a magnificent finish and amazing detail! Like I mentioned before, the only real negative I found was the super hyper tight hip joints. Just make sure you grab them as close as you can to the join itself when trying to move them or rotate them. If feel that if you don't, they will most likely break. Then again... TWO THUMBS UP Fewture! "Two thumbs up?!!! What the...!" POW!!! "Who gets TWO THUMBS UP now... beeeatch? }D

Yes, the ring where they are connected rotates. It makes it easier to bend the elbow joint as needed. }D

thank U !! Finally some one actually uploaded new pics of their own grendizer ! how is the articulated horns ! I think I hate that they are attached in pairs !! you welcome bro i can see now the joints are tight on all units after tmz post and one of my friends told me the same its not a deal breaker but the metal around it make it really hard to move it does the screwcrusher blades spin? the can flip but spin no the arm have alot of articulation and rotation points after handling the figure for a while i notice that there's a joint to make his head look up while in the Spazer but im not risking moving it lol, also the sky blue part on his leg from the back is plastic and its look like its removable i dont know maybe the Spazer have some thing new in it the question now is when they will release the Spazer Set and how much they are going to charge for it

S_Gokin, the red cuffs on the wrists, where the blades are connected, do spin. Maybe yours are stuck or glued in place. }D

I'm afraid I can't honestly answer that, because I do not own any of the EX Gokin Getter Robot Gs.
