cool~ Very cool.
I think it's a good marketing move for HLPro to release these guys.
Gattaiger has the "lanky proportion" HLPRo trademark.
I'm glad I'm wrong about HLPro Grendy V2 release.
I might FINALLY get my very first MetalTech yet!

To answer your question greengetter, they are in the same scale as MT01 Grendizer, so about 6in tall. Have you seen my video reviews of the MT01? They are bigger than a SRC but smaller than a SOC... real nice size and a lot more diecast than a SRC.

This is the best news that I have heard from HL Pro! Awesome, I cannot wait to pre-order their version of Z-Mazinger. Lejam, Could you please check your computer for viruses? I have Sophos Endpoint Security and Control on my work PC, and everytime I see a post from you with a linked image the image fails to load and I get a Sophos pop-up message stating that it was blocked due to a virus. My computer is brand new, clean and no surfing in weirdo seas. It's probably due to the online uploader : postimage.org/Here comes other picture :  and this :  nice i might get Z Mazinger and Gattaiger. would both of them have the same articulation like the 01 Grendizer or the new improve version Grendizer that they say they are working on it? |

Their articulation should be at least as good as Gin Gin's. I'll be getting both... well, at least that's my plan.  }D |

Articulation and detail on Z and Gatt will actually be a bit better than Gin Gin, more "technical", especially Z... and they also both come with .."stuff"... IM not sure what I can say anymore.. a small group of us got cussed out by HLpro and shut-off from the flow of information bc info about Z Mazinger leaked and showed up on a forum based in a faraway country. HLpro had to protect itself by clamming-up when it came to new products under development. Totally understandable.

HLPRO just released a pic. Also gettershadow sorry you got chewed out by HLPRO, hopefully it wasn't anyone on this site that spilled the beans.
Edit - Use the link below, don't want to get HLPRO all pissy. Don't want to deal with that again lol.

I was wondering if Gatt.'s saucer will be released as well, and HLPRO just answered this with a pic: I didn't post a straight pic based on HLPRO's request on FB: "Do not alter this picture in any way. Please do not repost this exclusive picture, instead link to this FB page. Thank you for your understanding and support." linkEDIT: I guess Chen was faster than me lol |

Very excited for this!! I dont understand why HLPro gets upset if something leaks,so what if other companies make the same robot.There is gonna be competition reguardless.Do they think another companiy is going to hurry up and put teh same robot out before them?And so what there stuff is a different scale and way different than say a Bandai or CMs toy.

No, wasn't me that leaked it, I was real careful about what I put out about names and details but there was bout 6-7 outsiders like me that had access to the info.. could have been anyone. I don't speak Italian either... that's where the leak appeared but Z Mazinger was announced officially anyway a few weeks later. HLpro saw my last post and I got let back in.. Im happy about that, we mostly talked about other things outside of Japanese Robots. Its all good.
Hey Gold, you may be able to slip that old pin out and press another one in there.. maybe a cut-down needle of the right diameter.

The chromed version looks nice. I don't like how Bandai mix-matched Chrome with Metallic Silver amongst the limb/waist parts in their SOCs, and so I stick with totally metallic silver. I'd make an exception for this here new MT-01 Grendizer, because the Chrome is evenly distributed to ALL the limb and waist parts so it looks uniform and visually balanced. Nice job, HLPRO. zozo-mag |

Except the head and neck!  But, can you imagine how awesome it would look if the silver on the head and neck was chrome instead?!!! I hate chrome, but even I would have to get one (yes, another one). }D |

A finishing nail should work fine. Gold, the head on the original Grendizer is from the Manga, while the head on the Chrome Grendizer is from the anime. I find it funny how they named them backwards. }D |

That's weird, I have 2 MT01s and that pin never broke for me...

I have about half a dozen of Metaltech Grendizers, starting from the original release to the newest Chrome version. I'm happy to say that I have never broken anything in any of them. }D |

With my luck, I would break everyone of them.
GS, can we expect Grendy V2 by this year?

Yeah, there's always been a lot of silence regarding the release date of the Grendizer V2. I know I'll get one, even when I'm also getting the upcoming SRC Grendizer too. }D |
