What do you guys think? They've done Mazinger plenty but only 2 versions of Grendizer? Hardly seems fair.

There's already word spreading around some retailers that a reissue of the GX-04S (Grendizer and Spazer Set) is coming this December.

Well there's not that many versions of Grendizer seen. He hasn't been in a new Anime since the 70's so there's no new interpretations of him recently. Just as long as it's just a re-issue and not a re-design then I'll be happy.

I just can't afford to fork out $400 for what's left of the first wave.

BUT recent data (GX27) indicates that 2003 was the year of the Getter, 2004 the year of Mazinger and 2005 will be the year of Gaiking (Who knows, maybe evil robots could be on their way as well and SOP versions of the Dinos) Hence, I believe they will hold out Grendizer for 2006, when they could re-release GX-04 and ad enemy mecha... (a SOP Alien MOthership would be awesome, BTW)

Screw the Getters!
I've almost completed my army, and I want to stop with the 2004 version of Shin Getter!
I want a re-issue GX-04S dammit!

It amuses me that Grendizer sort of took on a life of his own on the international dub circuit. When I say "everyone" in my office gathered around to see my GX-04, I really meant "everyone." There was hardly as much hooplah when my GX-01R came in. I always wondered at the success of Grendizer in his native country - was he regarded as the ultimate evolution of the Mazinger-series bots (that is until MazinKaizer showed up - you know what I mean).

pound for pound, I think Grendy can still hold his own against Mazinkaiser.

Wha, wha, wha, what! Who dares say that Grendizer would be beaten by Mazinkaiser . Oh, great Grendizer "tell me who to smite and they will be smoten!" qoute by the great Homer, the Simpson not the old Greek guy ;D.

pound for pound, I think Grendy can still hold his own against Mazinkaiser. I agree entirely. My wicked cartoo reasoning for this is that Koji did not use Mazinger or call for Great Mazinger's help during Grendizer. He was also "aware" of the Getter Team, as well. The ONLY reason that a guy knowing that a MIGHTY INTERGALACTIC ARMY OF GIANT ROBOTS is gunning for your home planet would not call for KNOW AND RELIABLE help is because these "allies", aka, Maz and Getter boys would be useless... Thus proving teh point that grendizer is ina whole different league. mazinkaiser, being "the best" earth could offer, might be close to grendizer, but still come second, as he was not THAT more powerfull than great Mazinger in the OVAs.... My twisted 2 cents....

I agree, Grendizer shouldn't even be considered a Mazinger Robot because he wasn't even built on Earth. If it weren't for Koji in the Anime, there would have been zero ties to the Mazinger series at all. Oh well, I'm still keeping my fingures crossed for the Grendizer/Mazinkaiser OVA to come out....whenever that happens.
