Thanks bro! Like I said, it is a gamble, but if you get it from a reputable source, and use Paypal with a credit card, you should be good to go. The most common problems with the Limited Version is the paint on the face and horns. Also, there seems to be lots of problems with "badly brushed" touch up paint on the inner thighs, were the two halves come together. Then, of course, is the almost universal problem with the Spacer's doors. Both versions suffer from that one. However, if you get lucky, like I did, it is an awesome diecast figure of Grendizer. }D

It's no secret that the sculpt of Brave Gokin 04 is beautiful, despite the hands size, let's skip this! So, most of the Grendizerists, inc. me, who are afraid to buy this guy is cuz of his QC issues. Now, we read CM's is goin' b'bye! I have a question - maybe a suggestion - which I am sorry if it's been on this thread and I didn't read it yet... What if another company buys the mold of BG04 from CM's, like Art Storm or Bandai and they fix the QC issues and reissue it? Has this thought been on any RJ fella's mind? What do you think... would you buy it then? Aoshima is in negotiations for the purchase of the molds of CM's Grendizer! Their idea is to improve the product and also to produce some accessories which are not included with the edition of the CM's + making all his other spazers. GRENDIZER, GO!

Finally! Congrats man ... give me your honest opinion man on this figure Not just that I liked it, but, I love it! Despite all its QC issues that we might or might not have, it's an amazing figure with its sculpt and mechanism ideas. I have only 1 QC issue which is his neck connector, it's kinda of loose and it goes fwd & bwd but it's not a disaster for me. Perhaps, I can unscrew his upper torso 'n fix it, later! TFO is a nice addition but not that impressive. I now am not sure if I like the yellowish or the gold horns more! I was thinking to paint his shoulder boomerangs in white... what do you think?

Hmmm ... tough one. .. the cm definitely looks and feel better but the SOC is the more complete toy I think.

When I push the spin drills up, I kinda can't mount them back on the spazer wings! I tried to push 'em inward hard but almost eternally broke one of the saucers, so, is there's any suggestion on how to do it?

Think of it as this is grendizer from the opening song ! Remember in that song the saucer flies then the drill pops out .. this is what they had in mind for this figure.

When the saucer fins are out, yes, but when it's just firing the spin drills... sigh!

This is possibly the worst Grendizer figure ever made. Even if we ignore the QC issues...which are a lot. The articulation is awkward. The hands are oversized and his extras and weapons are really low quality. The rod for the double harken is almost paper thin it's a joke. When he holds the weapon it's like he's holding a matchstick. They made no real effort with this release. It was just a cash grab for them and they cut many corners to make extra cash and it's clearly shown on the many problems this figure has. Even the box is a joke...foam tray that can barely hold the parts without them moving around.
Sculpt is fine. I prefer the yellow horns as the gold horns look more like cheap bronze. CM screwed Grendizer fans over with this figure and everyone knows it.

I will skip this and wait to see if we get a new SOC or if they do a DX release. Thanks GTMQ8

I am hoping for a Dynamic Classics Grendizer too on top of the DX. Grendizer fans deserve this and Bandai has denied us for far too long.

Bandai DC Grendizer is inevitable... its an automatic. Unless Go Nagai wokes up one day not being himself.... and pulls off the license from Bandai.. which is impossibly crazy hehe...
maybe next year.
