WARNING. No personal insults please we are a open forum for all types of collectors. Let's not turn into a elitist site like some of the old, not to be mentioned ones I have been members at. This is one of the things that I hate about most nerd fan communities. They get so obsessed over made up numbers and stats rather than simply believing what is presented on screen. This gets especially nuts with animated shows as the scaling of the robots changes from scene to scene. Numbers such as height, weight etc in pretty much any scifi show are just made up BS unless someone took the time to map out the actual blueprints at the start. This is why the numbers for Star Trek ships are all over the place. The only scifi ships for which any published numbers for length etc can be trusted are the Serenity from Firefly and the Eagle's from Space 1999. Simply because they were designed from the inside out and scaled to actual humans.
For the Go Nagai stuff, I would tend to believe what is on screen. Which seems to indicate that Grendizer and Great Mazinger are pretty close in size. Granted I am not a hardcore Mazinger family expert. But this seems the rather compelling and authoritative work for scaling, no?

When the actual f**k Bandai will learn that Mazinkaiser is f**king shorter than Grendizer? And, PLEASE, nobody dares to say bla bla bla I don't f**king care for heights cuz CLEARLY by looking at this video, heights are considered by Bandai but they just do it WRONG. Mazinger Z 18m Great Mazinger 25m Grendizer 30m Mazinkaiser 23m (yes, he is shorter than Great Mazinger D.C. [not the OAV 20.5m Great Mazinger], so, the solution is: give us a 20cm Grendizer/Mazinkaiser D.C. or just swap the Dizer/Kaiser heights, idiots). GRENDIZER & GOD MAZINGER ARE THE TALLEST OF THE D.C. MAZINGER CANON. But... dc line is about anime accuracy and in the movies they are all about the same height.... Really? Is the D.C. line about anime accuracy and same heights?!! Then, explain to me why don't we see exact anime colors and why do we see different heights with the figures? Got'cha!
Grendizer and God Mazinger aren't from this world, that's why they are the biggest among the Mazinger canon through the D.C. anime era! I'm not asking for exact height ratios (although I'd love to see that, someday)...But, if Bandai can make a 1cm difference between Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and Grendizer...why not to make Mazinkaiser GX-75 in the current height of Grendizer GX-76 and vice versa? Uhh, I guess why... Japanese are still hurt that an alien (Duke Fleed) landed on earth and commanded their national playboy hero Kabuto, Koji!

Yeah grendy is cool and all, but has anyone seen the 1975 jeeg show? or 1976's Groizer x? Or govarian? (And if you've seen govarian please give me the link) I have watched them all longtime ago but you gotta search anime torrent sites cuz many links expire from time to time. Try nyaa.si

Have any of you watched the entire UFO Robo Grendizer anime from 1975? Whoaaa, are you talkin' to me? Yup, the 1975 TV series. The two 1976 animated films. The fan-made videos. His Easter eggs in other OVAs. Even his 1975 Great Battle of the Flying Saucers pilot episode (short film). EVERYTHING!robotjapan.proboards.com/post/288357 I hope this list helps! I need to update it...for some reason the photos went down.

"The Bandai magic" is at it again.... This Grendy looks so much better in wild, especially in video.....i cant imagin how good he will look in my hand. I wasnt going to get this because i felt his thighs are just way too thin but they dont look too THAT bad in the video. I might just have to get this guy.... My same thoughts! I just wonder... can we put the Marine/Drill Spazers from GX-04 on GX-76 Grendizer?

Although I managed to install the fire blasters on my Soul of Chogokin GX-75 Mazinkaiser's chest, using epoxy, and I am satisfied with the figure now... I believe for the sake of OAV accuracy I am going to get this SG-14! 🤔 Any idea where may I find one for a good price, please?

I am hoping that Toys Hunter (Italy) will get the exclusive ver. soon! I cannot buy it from France or elsewhere cuz they do not declare lowered value invoices for the bloody postal customs.

The fire blasters replacement parts by ninjahandz are PERFECT! The metal pins will surly secure an unbreakable attachment to Kaiser's chest, wish Bandai did that –sigh!I however did something, which could be silly... I couldn't ignore how awesome the original fire blaster factory paint is... so, I decided to use epoxy and permanently put 'em on Kaiser's chest. Again, go get ninjahandz's parts if you wish to have moveable and secured fire blasters...just good luck with finding a suitable glossy red paint! Mine was OK but as I said, I couldn't resist Bandai's factory paint elegance. Still looking for a day to use the plates I have from ninja. But I will buy the metal pins and made something in his chest to grab the pins. I was contemplating to replicate the idea of rubber pieces like gx01to hold the breast plates. Because of the odd ball joint cavity there did you secure the plates for good with epoxy? Do they move or they are fix? Months ago, I had to open up his upper torso cuz one of those weirdo balls got a bit flattened and I wanted to fix it. When I used epoxy, one fire blaster had a pin and another didn't... However, I am extremely satisfied how they don't move! The epoxy holds both fire blasters awesomely on his chest, and, I didn't even put back the 2 silly balls inside his chest! I added later some few drops of superglue around to enhance the fixation.

Got my Infini-T Force Joe the Condor from Anime Export! I didn't want to purchase his first classic release fig. as I was upset over Sentinel not making G-3, G-4 and G-5 figures...but now, thanks to the Infini-T Force movie, I have him. He doesn't come with his gun from the first release though, which is kinda of a bummer...but I guess it's because of the movie character design. I got a nice Gatchaman bracelet too... "Bird, Go!"

Here is a review in English...

So what were the fail rates of the breast plates? How many here on RJ has a problem vs how many did not? I am scared to order this figure because of this issue. Each photo in the video comes from a different customer and a different country + I met like 6 - 8 guys on Facebook who have the same issue! Dunno how many around the world but heard members of Chinese forums are angry about it. If I were you, I wouldn't buy this piece of crap, specially, that Bandai does not give a f**k to send replacement parts. Unless you are gonna use the pieces made by NinjaHandZ!

Yeah, I bought my Metamore-Force figures from them before, but, lately they are only shipping through FedEx or something like that which cost me a lot of postal customs charges here! EMS is the best for me, but... gonna contact them and find out how it goes though. Thank you, buddy!

Opaque and translucent horns ✌🏼 + space thunder effect. I only wish one company could give us proper ends for the single harkens.
