Winter Wonderfest 2020 has just happened in Japan, and while the event usually strays towards the anime figure side of things there are usually a few tokusatsu-related surprises as well. Among Good Smile Company’s reveals this year is the announcement of HAGANE WORKS Thunder Gridman, based on the combined from of Gridman and the three Assist Machines from the original 1993 series.

The HAGANE WORKS line is still relatively new, and with only this combined form prototype image at the moment it’s uncomfirmed whether this figure will be able to split into its individual components or whether the Assist Machines will also be able to combine into God Zenon. However based on descriptions for previous entries in the line, it’s safe to assume that the figure will at least feature some die cast content.

Stay tuned to Tokunation for more news on the figure as it comes!
