More Goodsmile SSSS Gridman Updates, Including a Kaiju

under General Tokusatsu News, Ultraman

Yesterday we got our first real look at color prototypes for the upcoming Figma Gridman & Grid Knight from SSSS Gridman. Both look phenomenal in what little we could glean from the Figure Oh scan. Today however GSC has released a single hi-res look at this fair together for the first time! This offers the absolute best look yet at either of these Figma’s and I have to say, they look incredible together. The post this image was attached to also indicates that Figma Gridman pre-orders will begin on January 19th. 

In another surprise teaser, Goodsmile has announced that they are indeed working on at lest one Kaiju from the series. No, we don’t just mend the adorable clay model Kaiju that Nendoroid Akane Shinjo comes with, this is apparently going to be some sort of full size figure of Ghoulghilas! The cyborg like dragon monster which Gridman faced in the first episode of the series. While GSC has not indicated if this will be some sort of full scale DX, Figma, or maybe even just a vinyl figure, it’s pretty promising to see a Kaiju from the series being worked on. It was anounced in the same GSC blog update as the new Figma image.

As more information about Gridman, Grid Knight, and Ghoulghilas becomes available we’ll be sure to keep you informed.

    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.
