Yeah, I do understand that Duke Fleed stole the Grendizer from the Vegans when they invaded his home planet. Interesting to know how some of the other enemy monsters were made as well. I'll have to watch the series, then. 74 episodes, not bad at all, I can get through it all. Right now I can't even get past the first twenty episodes of the Mazinger-Z series! lmao Every time I search for the Grendizer series online, it's usually with a Spanish dub track. I'd still go for it and translate from the Spanish audio into English subtitles, but I'll need to find a RAW Japanese language version of the series to synchronize the subtitles, hard-sub the episodes, and make an original custom DVD set. zozo-mag The Enemies from Gredizer were aliens from a Galactic level Empire made up of Vegans who ran the show and other aliens that they have assimilated into the Empire. The Enemy robots themselves were often "spacecraft" in the form of flying saucer type UFOs that could travel through space, enter the Earths atmosphere and then transform into a humanoid or some kind of a mechanical monster and get to work fighting Grendizer. Now Grendizer himself was a "enemy robot" Duke Fleed stole him from the Vegan Fleet and used it to escape to Planet Earth.. similar to the Superman story. (long story) Now later on, the Vegans would take animals both Earth animals and alien animals and make them grow larger and put cybernetic implants in them and use them as "enemy robots" also.. Like Gori Gori, he was a Gorilla that they turned into a bionic "King Kong"... that was a good episode also. That's why Gori Gori couldn't turn into a "UFO"... he was from earth! ha ha |

That's why Gori Gori couldn't turn into a "UFO"... he was from earth! ha ha That is true but not entirely!! The reason why vegan have attacked planet fleed was because they refused to co operate with the vegans and refused to hand vegans the technology / plans of Grendizer!! Fleed was very advanced scientifically and they were developing the ultimate war machine grendizer ! but they didn't get the chance to build the final version of it !! When vegans attacked they took the grendizer program and build grendizer accordingly under the supervision of Vega himself!! it is ultimate because of fleed planing not the vega technology! after King Gory the second wave of strongerr monsters and more advanced have started ! the first wave were called saucer monster while the second wave was called Vegan Monsters! and they can't turn into UFO anymore!! |

Finding a King Gori is going to be difficult I think. Hlpro informed me the its been out of stock for 6 years now. "When they are gone, they are gone"

Dammage7 , Yeah King Gori was mentioned in conversation. I think there is a possibility that it will appear one day, but for right now there has to be a few more Metaltech "hero" characters. Hlpro stated publicly that the MT line cannot be just about Grendizer all the time. The line will diversify to open up more possibilities. I do not think we will have to wait very long for the next one to be released. Sales on Gin Gin were characterized to me as "very good" and some really good things just happened for HLpro behind the scenes.. I forgot to ask permission to discuss it in public so I will leave it at that for now. But I will say this, there may be a possibility for the quality of HLpro products to go up and the price to come down a bit... it has to do with the forces in the Marketplace.
As for the 12" vinyl action figure that is coming out, you know him, you love him and he fits right in with the other ones that have been made already.. he is an attractive addition to the collection and I will buy him instantly.

So go figure, HLPro still has ghe Metaltech02SP giru giru in stock. Bought one for 9800¥ shipped after I found I was getting a hefty little bonus at work yesterday.
I think next on the list to get is the Blaki Mothership.

I was worried it was a glitch and I would get told it wasn't actually available but I almost immediately got an email from them asking for a phone number and that it would be shipped soon. Glow in the dark mothership looks cool. Hope to pick one ip eventually but damn it's expensive for something completely lacking articulation. |

The paint is real nice on them. . rare, Im proud to have one in my collection. The TFO and the Trike are friggin' amazing also.. real good sculpts and paint |
