First Color Image of Figma SSSS Gridman & Grid Knight

under General Tokusatsu News, Ultraman

“Access Flash!”

Previously, Good Smile revealed prototypes for both an upcoming Figman Gridman, and most recently after some spoiler-y developments in the last couple episodes, teased a Figma Grid Knight. Now that the most recent issue of Figure Oh has been released, we finally have our first full color image of both prototypes!

This image shows Gridman for the first time in vibrant color, wielding the mighty Gridman Calibur. Grid Knight is looking equally gorgeous in purple & orange, though for now at least we haven’t glimpsed the Grid Knight Calibur he almost assuredly comes with. This image does however confirm Figman Gridman’s size at 160mm (roughly 6.3″) which is larger than the average Figma, and larger than the Gridman figure GSC is releasing in the DX Assist Weapon Set.

For now we still don’t have specific pricing or release information, but when we do, we’ll be sure to update this story.

    I still don’t understand the giant shoulder pads. What look is this figure based on exactly? It doesn’t fit the animation model or the real-life suit they made for marketing purposes.

    I'd like to get a highly articulated Gridman to go alongside the DX one but this looks terrible.

    At a guess, its meant to emulate Trigger's style of putting the body out of proportion during action sequences. If you freeze frame somewhere in the show you'd probably see Gridman looking like this during the fights.

    Which makes some semblance of sense for a highly posable action figure, but when you're showing it off in neutral poses it just looks weird.

    Colored prototype shots from this month's Figure Oh magazine. It confirms the size as 160mm which is about a head taller than most figma figures.

    Gridknight is featured too! Pre-orders can’t be all too far away now.
