I can honestly appreciate most of that design, but WTF did they do do his arms? The Screw Crusher Punch spikes look horrible. I think they should clip into the forearm, so they would need to be a little shorter, they went a little too extreme on that one.

The problem is they took the Michael Bay aproach. They simply blew all parts out of proportion which ended in a Hulk type body. The original Fewture Mazinger was such a hit because it keept the original proportions intact. At first glance you could tell right away that was Mazinger, only after taking a closer look you could appreciate all the extra detail added. I think Sato's aproach was to take one part at the time and update it before moving to the next one and so on. Like in my head, he probably sat down with a regular Mazinger and said: ok, how can I update the bicep.... and now the forearm.... and now the hand... And so on. I think the same process went with the original getter trio and that's what made those bots a hit. The original proportions and shapes are there but with lots of added detail. He's aproach was a cross between super robots and real life machine bits and pieces
Perhaps if they used that aproach we would be getting a great Fewture Grandizer rather than this Hulked out monstrosity
I think the aproach here was: Blow the bicep out of proportion! ... now the forearm!... now the fist! and so on.
This Grandizer is to the original Grandizer what the Hulk buster armor is to the regular Iron Man armor

Agree. It's looking like there will be no Fewture Grendizer in my future... }|

I'm still hopeful that this will turn out well. If Grendizer bombs in sales do you think Reideen will be cancelled? I'm really looking forward to the Fewture Reideen!!

I've always thought that fewture grendizer will be the ultimate grendizer ever if they made it but after seeing the pictures I'm kinda disappointed they over did the whole body specially the arms for his Screw Crusher Punch attack the only thing that kinda give a hint its grendizer is the head and the waist, still i will wait for the final product pictures maybe with the paint it will pop out more, if this how they make grendizer look i wonder how the spazer will look like

Wonder what happened to this project. But mostly, wonder what happened to Shin 2 and 3?

yea suddenly it disappear but you know fewture take alot of time to produce and with all the negative feedback they got on him i guess they will change the design a little bit in Grendizer case we saw him at least but with the Getters we saw a writing on the a picture so its a long way to see a prototype for me i want them to delay him more because of all that new releases i will be broke

They'd better do things their pace, we don't want a rushed product. If they're changing Grendizer's design because of the feedback they got, that's good to hear. Same thing for the Shin Getters 2 and 3, they better do a fine job with them...
