Wow man ... you made me think of how many grendizers I have and before I know it ... it looks like I have 10 grendizers !! Not counting the ex gokin since I am still messing that one.
yea i always keep track of how many version of specific robot i have in my collection
since Mazinger z is my number 1 i have about 11 figure for him
also i only get the *truly worth it* versions i dont bother my self with half good releases or repaints (unless the figure is EPIC), in order to keep my collection unique and in best shape
for Grendizer to be honest there isn't alot of great releases sadly, in my opinion there is
SOC GX-04S & GX-76 along with its special sets
SRC regular version and anime color version with the Spazer
and lastly the Fewture beast
hopefully this release from King Arts and the sentinel one will be good to grab

Sorry bro, but I still burst into laugh when remember how ugly it is. Masterpiece of awfulness, I would say. Proportion is bad, paint job is awful, and the joint,...the joint is... OMG I can't continue. Sorry. LOL

Here's my short review; flawed perfection
I unboxed Grendizer today, played a bit with it, and here's what I thought of it.
It's overpriced for what it is. At this price point you get more than the GX-76, but the kit is still incomplete. So it's hard to compare globally.
The paint to very well done, but it's not perfect. I noticed a few marks on it. Mainly because it's made of plastic, so it will scracth easily.
The outer parts connect with magnet, so as soon as you hold with a bit of pressure, pieces move and disconnect.
Joint are tight, but I didn't play much with it to test articulation. BEWARE; some piece can move around the joint, be sure to make the place for it, as I am sure you will scratch the paint.
Grendizer is not heavy, but I found the weight to be balanced for the height. However, the torso is heavier than the legs, wich means it's hard to keep balance. I was able to make it stand with the double spazer, but heavier legs would make it much more stable.
Lots of accessories is great, it comes with a few battery. The manuel state 10min max for battery use. Battery compartment are a bit hard to access, so beware if using a metal screwdriver.
For a Grendizer collector like me, it's a must have piece. It's unique in is genre, and for a collector, price won't matter that much.
For a robot collector, it's not the Grendiùer you want. You want the whole SOC package. In the end it will be pricier, but better.
It's really the Grendier that tries to be everything, while not being perfect anywhere.
I don't know much about King Arts, and if it's a new company or not. If they keep improving, like Fewture did, I'm sure it will come a big player in the market, but will keep building premium product and not mass-market one

You are welcome my friend. Let me know if you want to know anything more.
By the way packing is excellent, and they put plastic sheet in the joint for extra protection

Sorry for the crappy pictures. I took them with phone and light was inadequate. Notice the small gray part on the right. This cover the magnet hole for the spazer. I was unable to get it out, until I used the magned from the spazer to pull it out.

I think that you might regret if you pass.
I do think it's a premium product, and my fear is that it become, like Sentinel, hard to get and price will sky rocket.
