It’s hard to believe that Max Factory is now coming out with five Figmas from Studio Trigger’s SSSS.Gridman anime. The latest one is to join the list is the Initial Fighter recolor of the upcoming Figma SSSS.Gridman.
A Twitter post from the official SSSS.Gridman Twitter account reveals that this figure will come exclusively bundled with the DVD/Blu-Ray release of the anime so while a price point and release date have yet to be announced, we’re not expecting this to be cheap.
“Why?! Why did you kill Shizuka?!”
Once an orphan, Ginga Suzumura became an inheritor of the Zero armor before his new life was shattered by the Dark Knight Kiba. The loss of his loved ones gave Ginga, now known as Rei, the determination needed to master the Zero armor, and seek revenge. Mistaking Garo for the murderous Kiba, the two heroes clashed before uniting to defeat the dark knight. Walking a lonely path no more, Bandai has given Rei the treatment he deserves as S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Zero!
Seihou Zero joins the previously released Garo as a much needed update for a character who’s deserved it for so long. For the first time in over a decade this character has been truly recreated in figure form. Zero brings to the line his stylish silver paint job, but also the deadly dual Ginroken. These curve blades can also combine into the massive Ginga Ginroken! A fantastic companion piece to Seihou Garo, we can only hope that more Makai Knights are on the way.
Check out our full 70 image gallery of S.H. Figuar0ts Shinkocchou Seihou Zero after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be taken to the full gallery and review. Next time we’re paying a visit to the Game Master once again!

Our friends over at Good Smile is finally gearing up to release Nendorid Akane Shinjo. A few days ago, GSC Blog gave us a preview of the figure along with her hefty accessory count which also appears to include a clear display stand too.
Additional photos of this figure have now been released, and with that, we now have a release window for this adorable little figure. Nendoroid Akane Shinjo will run at a suggested MSRB of 4,630 yen.
Goodsmile’s online shop will begin accepting pre-orders on February 13, 2019.
Yesterday, Bandai managed to acquire the license to release products from the successful SSSS.Gridman anime with a prototype of Minipla SSSS Gridman himself is the first of those products revealed.
In an unusual and bizarre turn of events, two of the shows most popular female characters: Akane Shinjo and Takarada Rikka will be getting Minipla model kits of their own. This will be a first for the Minipla line as it’s mostly done mecha or support vehicles until now.
For now, no other information exists on these two kits aside from the fact that they’ll be released in two sets and they’ll stand at 120mm tall, more information regarding the two will be revealed at the end of January 2019.
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.
Bandai has announced a new release for their highly successful Minipla figure-building series!
This new release features SSSS Gridman, from the Studio Trigger anime of the same name. SSSS Gridman has proven highly successful and this announcement is merely the latest in a long line of tie-in merchandise.
At the moment only Gridman himself is shown but based on previous Minipla releases it seems likely that Gridman’s Assist Weapons will be included as well.
No price has been announced yet but SSSS Gridman is tentatively scheduled for release in Summer 2019!
