take the plunge, I did.. I got that MT01chrome and liked it so much that 2 weeks later I dropped $250 on HLpro stuff.. glad I did too. The video just doesnt do the figures justice.. you gotta see them for yourself.

Awesome review ! It's VERY informative. I think I am a fan now, the reviews not HLPro...yet. The camera person's cool too ;D But HLPro should put you in the payroll, but wouldn't that be a conflict of interest for the viewer like me? It's the very first time I've seen Metaltech Grendy with SRC together in a video and the size is impressive....I'll definitely consider Grendy 2.0 if it looks half good as Grendy on the GiruGiru packaging. ;D

haha Naw, I already got a job, no need for another one.. I do this just for pure fun! I think Grendy 2.0 is gonna be fantastic, it could be a while for it to come out though..and I bet its gonna cost quite a bit more than MT01.. well see. Ill get that one too when it comes out.

This is the normal version.. with the weathering and the accents on the legs. The SP version had solid colors and only 200 were made.. its long gone now.

Good review man. I just have not been able to pull the trigger on this guy. Not sure I like the $ I sure as hell dont like spending the $ on any of this stuff man... I did it anyway. Its the same price as a couple of my bar tabs..at least it wasnt pissed down the drain! ha ha MT02 is basically for hard core Grendy fans!

I was one of the lucky ones that got the SP one, and when I opened it and displayed it the foot part broke within 5 min (it seemed that the paint wasn't done right) and when I contacted HLPRO and sent them a pic, they were nice enough to send me another brand new SP one for free. so I just glued the broken one and kept the other one too Enjoy...here is a pic of my HLPRO Grendy collection:

yeah, I sent photos of that King Gori to PBM, the US dealer didnt know about it. He's trying to get HLpro to re-run that one.. seems HLpro is out of those. I gotta get it. Im gonna try and talk to HLpro into re-running the little ememy disks and the little TFO too.. would a guy like you be into a pack of 3 ememy disks and a TFO? I just hope they can keep the prices down, that little pack of disks was never really availible here and it was expensive back in the day.. like $50.. Im hoping they can get it down to around 30 or so.

Of course I would be interested...I'm game for any Grendy items I remember someone on this board found someone that sells the little vegan saucers, but they were going for like $30 a piece, so I passed on that. That King Gori is perfect though, cause it won't feel right if they make him with diecast for the MT series.

If you can talk HLPRO in releasing the anime accurate head, then that would be great (the one that comes with the chrome, but in manga color).

Yeah they are really missing the boat on accessories.. they make all this sh*t but you can only get it if you BUY EVERYTHING.. I think that strategy works against them in the long run. Im just a fan-customer, but they do seem to be open to suggestions. The guy who runs PBM here in the US is cool as hell, he lives right near me in Orlando Florida.. I got him on facebook and hes always asking me what it is that we are looking for and asking me what we would be interested in. Hes looking into getting King Gori back in stock in small numbers but HLpro would have to make another batch of them.. its kinda rough on the dealers bc HLpro needs big orders up front to afford production costs. Its understandable but its the main obstacle in getting all the HLpro products over here. I told him I thought the Jin Jin would be a good seller so hes bringing in 2000 of them when they are ready, so thats good! Then, I hit HLpro up on facebook and gave them my opinion on accessory packages for the US Market.. lets see what the response is. I really think HLpro is missing the boat on accessories, they could make quite a bit of money on a little 40 dollar weapons and enemy package for the MT01 because there are SO many MT01s already out there that would be interested in that "upgrade"and if it worked with the future planned MT01 "Ultra" that would be a added bouns.. I also BEGGED them NOT to change the Spazer, I told them that 100% compatibility would really be what us fans are looking for.
anyway, in that package I would love to see a anime head, "expressive hands" screw crusher punch effects, TFO, enemy disks and spin saucers..maybe space thunder and maybe a spare Harkken?

That's a good package if you ask me, but by observing HLPRO for a long time now, they seem to do things their own way, and they seem to get pissed easily if you try to criticize their products even in a constructive way.
They seem to like the idea of releasing a "bonus" item in each MT that should have been released as part of the previous MT. Not a good business model if you ask me, and I prefer the accessory package idea...so we'll see if they will ever listen to their fans.
By the way, I would defiantly get another King Gori if they re-release it.
