If you don't like Fewture, so be it. Move on - focus on other stuff in our great hobby

It is what it is with the legs. No way around it. The ratchets seem to be super fine but it almost seems like to much for the plastic. It feels like joints are being flexed a lot. I would hold move it by the hip joints when moving the legs to avoid the lever effect If you push hard enough it will clip in very tightly but will be hard to remove.A viewer of mine said you would have to remove wings to be able to grip spazer better to remove it. thanks for the advice bro the double Spazer wings are removable i didnt know that i really dont want to break any thing in this figure because it wasnt cheap and it will be a hard fix did you find an easy way to move his legs ?

I find it very interesting that 2nd place in this survey is NOT interested in a Fewture Grendizer,it goes to show you this is almost as much NOT popular as it is popular..18 out of 57 votes arent interested in a Fewture Grendizer at all thats like exactly 1/3 or 33 percent which is alot! Im one of them actually,these Fewture figures arent as loved as some think,or at least a non Dr.Sato one anyhow. well my advice for people dont like fewture at least handle the figure with your hands then judge i wasnt a huge fan of fewture in matter of fact i wasnt a fan at all but then i saw juohmaru and i went for it after i saw how insane the details are and how awesome the articulation to the size of the figure i immediately bought Mazinger Z and i absolutely loved it and still love it the only ones i see as pure Taku are Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, and the first Getter trio after that Fewture is trying so hard to mimic his work and they are doing well even tho this Grendizer isnt full Taku work and you feel its different than other Fewture figures it still looks and feel bad a$$ specially when you hold it in person but again its about the collector and his personal taste does he like Fewture Designs or not I personally have little interest because of the ludicrously high asking prices. Otherwise, I think they are generally pretty glorious and I can understand why some people think they are worth it. But parting with close to $600 Australian dollars (incl shipping) for a single mass-produced (in China) toy, that is known to have QC issues, is not sound reasoning to my mind. About two years ago I bought their Energer 1969 because I found a vendor in Hong Kong selling it for under the RRP. Once back at my apartment I discovered the Pailder (motorbike in this case) was missing, and that unacceptable paint chips were present on the torso - this was a sealed outer shipping box btw. I went back about a week later and returned it for another. This time everything was perfect (as could be) except for minor paint chips around the shoulder screws, and one faulty ratcheting toe articulation point - both easy to fix. With this experience under my belt I haven't been able to bring myself to buy another one of these robots. Even when I was at Fewture's shop in Akiba this January and I could've bought their battle damaged Getter for an excellent price. But there are people that obviously value these robots more than I do, and that's cool for them. Maybe if my collection was more focused on Japanese robots, and if my currency was buying more yens. I'd be down for a couple more of Fewture's offerings... maybe.

Preordered it from Toyntoys.com but it's taking them longtime to send me the invoice! I can't wait to put my hands on this figure. I saw it in Hong Kong in real...It is beyond beautiful.

I'm happy for bros who like this figure. It's gigantic and i do love the finish on him. just beautiful.
its just the forearm design ruined it for me... its just too far gone even for Fewutre EX which im a fan of. and they def seriously need to go back to drawing board on Reideen

I was just in Hong kong few days ago... If I knew I would be there earlier, I wouldn't preorder it months ago 'n would have just buy it from HK and ship it to my address in Egypt. Hong Kong is a great place for action figure and super robot collectors!

I would guess the Spazer would probably be anywhere between $120-200. From the pics I could see it is quite gigantic and hopefully we will have the first docking action by a Fewture EX Gohkin model. Grendizer looks so much better than the promo photos released on the preorder.

after having the figure in hand i don't think its a full size Spazer i mean where does the legs go i know the figure its much bigger than the Spazer size if you notice the size different in this photo post by Gren Dammage 7 [...] maybe the Spazer come with half Grendizer The lower legs can be removed by pressing the "fin" on their back side. If you touch them, you'll see that this one moves while the other three don't. It could be because your impression is correct and Grendizer just won't fit inside the spazer without removing the legs, or just to minimize paint scratch by inserting the legs from one side and the torso from the other (meeting and re-connecting halfway).

Thank you... and the thighs on mine are tight as all hell. So tight that they squeek. I've just messed with it enough to where I was comfortable using a bit of force to move them. And thank you with the background... I paid someone to make it.
