Access Code: Gridman!

In case you missed it, our friends at Goodsmile company announced that Studio Trigger’s SSSS.Gridman was coming to the Nendoroid line. Since the announcement last month, the official production page for both the standard version and DX version of Nendoroid SSSS.Gridman has gone live, and thanks to that we now have release info along with new stock photography of the two.

The standard version of Nendoroid SSSS.Gridman can be yours for 4,630 yen. It includes a finishing move beam effect part along with a clear display stand.

Meanwhile, the DX Version of Nendoroid SSSS.Gridman comes with both aforementioned accessories, in addition to a diorama themed display base, Grid Calibur weapon, and a light-up eyes gimmick. This set can be yours for 6,667 yen and both will be released in 2019/06.

It’s best if you’ve seen episode 10 of SSSS.Gridman before reading this post, or you may spoil yourself on it.

Goodsmile has been showing off some updates recently on their upcoming Figma Gridman, a totally separate release from their 2019 releasing DX Gridman Assist Weapon set. Figma Gridman looks to be a bit more of stylized take on the character as a single action figure, is a bit larger than the one from the DX set, and doesn’t appear to be compatible with that. It’s still a gorgeous figure, but now it looks like a new companion piece is coming to go with it.

Making his debut in episode 10, Grid Knight is yet another new imagining of previously unused elements from the Gridman franchise. Twitter user @Mach_Dent has by far been proving to be one of the best resources for breaking down references and homages in SSSS.Gridman since it began. And this week he gives a fantastic breakdown of the elements that have led to Grid Knight’s origin. The Figma Grid Knight prototype is still hidden in shadow, very likely to conceal some of the more obvious spoilers about the character, but we can expect more updates soon.

It’s pretty wild that SSSS.Gridman now has 4 individual Figma’s in development with Akane, Rikka, Gridman, and Grid Knight simultaneously being teased out. Could these recent developments bode well for any more of the cast like Yuta, Anti, or Alexis? Let’s hope!

In case you missed it Max Factory announced that three SSSS Gridman characters were on their way to Figma: Gridman himself, along with Akane and Rikka. But it seems like Figma won’t be the only way for collectors to enjoy those characters: with Goodsmile’s Nendoroid SSSS.Gridman, Rikka, and Akane were also just recently revealed in cute chibified forms. 

At the moment, only Gridman himself appears to be fully painted with Akane still in the early development with Akane only existing as concept art.

Be sure to stay tuned to Tokunation though, and we’ll bring you more info as it becomes available.

The Studio Trigger anime series SSSS Gridman has received incredibly positive reception thus far, and multiple retailers are ready to show some love to this digital hero!

Max Factory has revealed a full prototype of a Gridman figure to be included in their Figma action figure series. This line is generally similar in scale to SH Figuarts– although plastic quality varies. The Gridman Figma is pictured with his signature weapon, the Electrifying Great Sword Gridman Caliber!

Renowned anime streaming service CrunchyRoll has announced they will be offering the new Studio Trigger series SSSS Gridman!

This project is based on cult classic tokusatsu series Denkou Chojin Gridman! A brief synopsis for this new anime project has also been provided:

Yuta Hibiki can’t remember who he is, and now he’s seeing and hearing things that others don’t! A voice from an old computer tells him to remember his calling, and he sees a massive, unmoving creature in the distance. Nothing’s making sense—until the behemoth springs to life! Suddenly, Yuta is pulled into the digital world, reappearing in the real one as the colossal hero—Gridman!

Exact release details have not been confirmed at time of writing, but SSSS Gridman is currently scheduled to begin October 7 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this exciting project!

Remember last Wonder Fest and the slew of awesome merch that was revealed for Studio Trigger’s upcoming SSSS.Gridman Anime? One of those products shown was the small-scale Actibuilder SSSS Gridman, and he’s finally ready for production with a plethora of images having come out via Figsoku.

MegaHouse’s Actibuilder SSSS Gridman will see a release in March 2019. Collectors will be able to choose from two options: either the figure stand-alone or in a set with the auxiliary vehicles.

To get the complete set, you’ll need 16,800 yen while the stand-alone figure will run you 5250 yen. Keep in mind that this figure stands at about 10cms tall, so it will be a tad small if you collect the S.H.Figuarts line.
