A scary brutal review by GT....but i respect that.
I do share his opinion tho. To add to his review, this Grendy's paint is almost thin as electroplating...its not if but when it will chip.
On the plus side, aside from his gummy meat hands, his proportion and sculpt was my favorite out of all Grendies. The choice of paint color was my favorite too.
Looking at the photo, I have my doubts that Aoshima will fix the hands lol.

I am very objective when it comes to figures. The QC issues were varied from person to person or figure to figure. I bought 2 of them. I sold the first one. Here is a video of a problem it had with the arm. I had to unscrew the parts and fix it but this is an expensive collectible! we are not supposed to buy it so we can open it up and fix it ourselves. I sold the one I fixed and kept the other one. The other one I had thankfully did not have the same arm movement problem. But the horns were off the head as soon as I opened the box! what a joke! I had to glue them back on to the head! This is the worst ever Grendizer figure. EVER. The nice sculpt and diecast content do not make up for the shock of QC problems and defects it has. look man , I know what you have experienced along with others is horrible and I am not trying to defend CMs since they are gone now, I heard many stories how the Chinese factory screwed them but still that is no excuse. But people who bought it and luckily there were no QC are still extremely happy including me I heard that the first patch was extremely rushed but the later on the later patches were properly controlled . the last patch was sold by factory in plastic bags for cheap on yahoo.jp and I heard they were OK but the owner of CMs committed suicide and it was over. again with all respect to your honest review , my experience is different although my anime ver. was not perfect ! little extra orange paint on his horn and visible bits of glue in his thighs. but it have been standing on my disk since I bought it and I play with it with my Dad and My Son

its actually doesn't need a genius to see it, this is by far one of the worst Grendizers out their, dont get me wrong i like CMs and all of their ideas for this but sadly it was done very poorly, and the proportions are just wrong, on top of all that they sugarcoat it with all of these QCs, i thought Aoshima will redo it and give it justice, but it taking them so long i started to think that they may cancel the project, the figure got ton of potentials but it need to be redone perfectly with right proportions and better accessories quality
also on the top worst Grendizers for me are HL Pro Metaltech and the ET Grendizer
best Grendizers out there is SRC anime color, Fewture Grendizer & GX-04S

You forgot the HLPro one. weird proportions, oddly visible jointing where you shouldn't see any, such as the massive abdomen gap, etc.
