Ummm does this mean it will be a kakumei shinka grendize? 🤔 If it's gonna follow the DC line logic likely will but probably next year or after if I were to guess (Since they announced the SP version just now).
S_Gokin Bandai doesn't hate him it's just he has no Strong market presence in Japan compared to other Dynamic Planning IP's in the long run (this mentality is Childish at best ) , they will likely see if Grendizer U attracts people on Japan before they decide to bother with making what already sells & attracts people from my perspective  |

hehehe keep dreaming we were asking them for a DX Grendizer since 2017
the main issue here man even tho some will say Grendizer is not popular in Japan or doesn't have a strong market yet i found many collectors in Japan that at least have 1 set of Grendizer figures (Grendizer + all the Spazers) while other overseas have many sets, even the new game sold well in the Japanese market

One Grendizer in a people set doesn't really mean much he still once again doesn't have a Strong presence in Japan compared to his other Brothers from the same company
FYI I wouldn't try this people have a bunch of him in other countries I can kinda guess where you are from & I'm from that same place so Please let's not pretend people want more of him in Japan  it is what it is at this point with the Character & the IP (They tried with Giga & nobody bothered in Japan, the same result will likely happen with Grendizer U)
if you want More Grendizer products you always can go with the DH Alloy , EX-Gokin, HL Pro & Riobot versions of him in general Bandai simply sees no value in making a DX version (they might try to make one down the line but they will mostly target what others want) That's my 2 cents on the matter in general.

I don't think its a matter of popularity.. grendizer is well known and it sells (gx04s had many reissues), most brands do the trio or a grendizer (riobot for example never did great mazinger). To me it's maybe a matter of price. Grendizer need the spacers and spacers make it expensive, on the other hand people don't want an incomplete set. So it's a hard bargain.
DX grendizer is suffering from that syndrome... but it will happen, our friend S_ here is a bit impatient just that hahaha. The next kakumei shinka should be grendizer.
PD I've been expecting soc god mazinger since 2016... don't complain

no no i didnt say a Grendizer set per people i said a set per person (mostly the GX-04)
its no secret man im from Saudi Arabia, and no i think Grendizer have a decent fan base in Japan and a strong fan base all over the world, as you know Grendizer is a part of the Mazin Saga and he was in SRW not to mention the play value of the figure
key point as you know Japan do things for Japanese people right ? so how come they did multiple GX-04 ? they did it as a solo and as a set not to mention the Black Edition which very few robot got, also the SRC got many reissues and a first anime color version, GX-76 also, and lets not forget about about the HG infinity Grendizer all these releases and still not popular ? thats only Bandai i wont mention other companies
as for Giga no one loved it because Nagai's gave a very odd story but that reboot helped reviving the classic show, as for Grendizer U i wont judge on it until i see it
i dont agree with "no value of a DX Grendizer" if thats was true then there is no need for any Grendizer figure, as you see ET did a huge Grendizer which have a strong sale numbers and thats ET, i think they will wait for an anniversary or the new anime to drop so they can maximize sales + Grendizer is a headache to make with all the Spazers i understand

PD I've been expecting soc god mazinger since 2016... don't complain
for me i would wait for the Spazers if they go with the same strategy as the GX-76 (Grendizer , Spazer and double Spazer then Marine and Drill Spazers) no issue at alllllllllll, but i want those Spazer to be a worth product of the DX line something to knock off King Arts Spazer as the best Spazer ever made
yes im VERY impatient heheh, and yes i hope they will do Grendizer as Kakumei Shinka to complete the Kakumei Shinka trio even if they dont give it Spazers i just hope it will fit in the GX-76 Spazers
you know you reminded me what the heck happened to god mazinger ? every single robot from that show got released except for god mazinger

A Grendizer they have the unit is mostly what I'm referring to in general (whether it's him with or without the Addons / Support Unit) but anyway here's my response to you regarding him
- Grendizer has the same issues that Plague the Getter Robo since they switched to Armageddon (heck even before) nobody likes an Incomplete Set.
- I'm well aware how many companies outside of Bandai made ones (those were also incomplete products see the response above) you got a few exceptions (Like the EX-Gokin, KingArts & Riobot Versions) but point still stands regarding how most tackle this unit.
- Also when have I said no value I simply stated that Bandai has no incentive to release one as of right now (that might change once the new version shows up to incentivize people to buy once they bother making one).
- The Special version that got announced now follows Bandai Release pattern as of late with the Mazinger units so a 3.0 Grendizer will likely show up Either in 2025 or 2026.
- Most Toy collectors love to have those 3 together (Thanks to the old Mangas & SRW in general) which once again boils down to people want a complete set .
- God Mazinger for a lack of a Better word is likely never gonna happen with Bandai if they don't stick a Code on it & if I recall he was suppose to be under the DC sub line if you want a God Mazinger you got 1 of 2 options either get the KingArts one or wait for the Moderoid version.
This mostly is how I see this Robot & how these toy companies tackling him in general (FYI the Infintisim version was like the worst one I've seen in a good while should've given it the regular spazer at the very least ) At this point I'll wait to see if CCSToys are going to make one since they seem to love the Mazinger Family so much (Still waiting on a Regular Z & Great Mazinger from them). |

Yeah king arts god mazinger is great but I'm keeping the go nagai family in the SOC scale...
Kakumei shinka versions look great but I wonder if they were really needed after the DC releases.

- i think most will see it as Grendizer and his Spazer + the double Spazer and call it a day, its like the case of Getter 2 and Getter 3, Marine and Drill Spazers, they get ignored sometimes
- right now we are getting an overwhelming amount of Shin Getter 1 and Voltrons yet people buy those, the DX for most of us is a high priority so im sure whenever they release it, it will be met with a server crushing demand regardless of the number of the releases before
-like i explained above, Grendizer is a headache to make if they are going to do the Spazers, im sure no one want that headache since it will cost both time and money even for Bandai
-not necessary, its not because they just want to complete the trio its most likely Grendizer is handsome robot and have a great value as a figure, i have the King art Grendizer + his Spazer and im not bothered with the Marine and Drill Spazers since i have alot of those
-why do you think God Mazinger will never happen ? last time we saw it was an event in 2021, key point Bandai's kept showing it through the years before that, so there is hope for it, its just a matter of time and when
-i would like an infinity version under the Metal Build line with or without the Spazers, i was very interested in the other infinity style robots as will but im not going to get them as model kits i need it to be in the Metal Build line especially Grendizer
-i hope so since they are focusing on Zero universe maybe they will do a Grendizer from that universe, not bad either way since i know for sure they will do an excellent work classic or zero
Yeah king arts god mazinger is great but I'm keeping the go nagai family in the SOC scale... Kakumei shinka versions look great but I wonder if they were really needed after the DC releases.
thats a great question i was wondering the same exact thing i thought the Kakumei Shinka was a one time thing for Mazinger but here we go now everyone would like to see his favorite robot in that style, main issue they didnt complete all of the DC robots yet they still jumped to another style lol

S_Gokin God Mazinger for a lack of a better word is a terrible Show with the most boring cast & antagonist I've the displeasure to have seen (If you haven't watched it go give it shot it's subbed) So when any company skips him I can understand why (he has next to no following in general) companies might have a better luck making the SRW version from the Novels than him heck here's a few that honestly would be better alternatives
- MazinSaga
- USA Mazinger
- Zeta Mazinger (one of my personal favorite designs I know it got an HL Pro toy but that one flat out sucks)
- Govarion (this on the low end but at the very least it worth a look)
FYI this is God Mazinger from the SRW Novels & with it's Rival unit Devil Mazinger. It's basically an upgraded Mazinger Z (Same logic for it from SRW F Final minus using Getter Energy & this was before Mazinkaiser's debut)

Hey I'm watching god mazinger right now (while training in the gym, makes a good running companion) and I'm really enjoying it. It is a cheesy show, but enjoyable. Also, God mazinger has a great and unique design. The downside is that God mazinger fights are not that great, but otherwise it's not that bad.

What’s the difference between this figure and the GX-73? I was going to get the 73 but this looks the same to me. Anyone know what the differences are if any? Thanks

the main issue here you think that i care about the show, did i care about watching GodSigma, GodMars, Dairugger XV, Getter Go ? no all i care about is the figures and the value of the playabilty in them  , of course having a good show to back it up is nice but its not a key point for me, since some shows could be dead boring unlike the mecha design
it doesn't matter what you think is going to be better or what i think is going to be better, its all up to Bandai and what they think lol
last key point i think most of the collectors would grab God Mazinger if Bandai release it, Mainly to complete Nagai's collection + some find it cool actually
What’s the difference between this figure and the GX-73? I was going to get the 73 but this looks the same to me. Anyone know what the differences are if any? Thanks
yes, the main different is mainly in the limbs, as you see the legs and arms are a bit thicker, also the head have a complete new sculpt, to be honest with you it looks a bit better than the GX-73 but i hope they gives us decent accessories not the same cheap move with the GX-105
the Kakumei Shinka is an odd move to be honest since it literally destroyed the idea of the DC line i found my self buying the same robot over and over again its a trap that i cant break free from

Not disagreeing on what Bandai thinks would sell but I honestly believe they would be better off Tackling something most would want like Saga for one (since he has quite an interesting following in Japan even though it's Manga Ended on a cliff hanger revealing Devilman X as the Rival unit to the Mazinger in that Storyline ). Also Regarding Toy collectors for the Toei line sure...... outside of that not really much when it comes to Mazinger units. If you wanted to make a "Mazinger" Collection you'd Try to replicate the Mazinger Bible cover Art with what's show on the Front & Back of it mainly. Again I just mostly express what I see from some folks that I interact with in general regarding stuff (Doesn't mean I don't want a God Mazinger in the Toei Dynamic Planning group)   |

It is weird from the toyline stand point to render the not so long ago DC releases obsolete. Yet the Kakumei Shinka Mazinger Z release is not complete with some accessories missing, so it is not a full package replacement either. I suppose you can mix and match DC and Kakumei Shinka figures as their aesthetics are close enough, though 'close enough' may not be a good option for some, especially for the completists. But I can see it being a business move. Who wouldn't want an excuse to make customers re-buying your stuff all over again? |

the issue is they did some cool releases way back in the chogokin line (the vintage one) like Bismarck i think this robot could bring the SOC line and Bandai in general to the map (if done right) yet we find them ignoring the wanted items and do something odd like that Gundam in the SOC line im still scratching my head the heck is wrong with them lol

yea it will be like

here is my other collection lol
