As Wonderfest 2019 gets underway we’re due for a few reveals in tokusatsu world this weekend. To kick things off we have 2 teased releases from SSSS.Gridman!

First up is Figma Rikka Takarada! The high school heroine of SSSS.Gridman and member of the Gridman Alliance is the first of the human characters to get an official product image so far. When she was teased back in November alongside series antagonist Akane Shinjo, we didn’t have a clear indication of when we’d see official prototype images. GSC has finally provided this first look via WonFest and we should be able to expect some release information for Rikka in the near future as well.

Next up is a Soft Vinyl Ghoulgilas! This Kaiju was originally teased for release back in late December with just a silhouette. Now we have our first test shot image of the figure announcing plans to roll it out for release. In case you’ve forgotten, this cyborg like dragon monster faced off against Gridman in the first episode of the series. Presumably this vinyl will be in scale with the Gridman & Grid Knight Figma’s as well. Release details should come at a later date.

We’ll be sure to keep you up to date as more WonFest 2019 news rolls in!

ACCESS FLASH!

If your among those clamoring for more of Studio Trigger’s hit SSSS.Gridman anime, we have good news for you. This comes straight from the SSSS.Gridman account, who teased that a 2nd season might’ve already entered production.

At the moment, not much else is known about this potential 2nd showing other a date that was given along with the image of May 26th, 2019. This could be a possible start date, which would put SSSS.Gridman Season 2 in the running for the summer. 

Either way, be sure to tune back into Tokunation as the date draws near, and we’ll bring you the updates as it becomes available.

 

UPDATE:

New information has just recently come to our attention since publishing this article: the tweet and image in question is actually the date for a follow-up to a talk show. Of course, it is still possible we might see SSSS.Gridman season 2 get announced during that show. But if anything noteworthy comes up, we’ll be sure to let you know!

ACCESS FLASH!

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.

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!

Via the GSC blog, we have a full set of official images for Good Smile’s upcoming Nendoroid Akane Shinjo!

While GSC is also working on a Figma Akane (and Rikka!), the Nendo will satisfy many collector’s needs, especially given the wonderful accessories she includes:

  • – 3 alternate faces
  • – headphones
  • – her cracked glasses(which evoke the Shattered Glass Optimus Prime she’s based on)
  • – a cellphone with a cracked screen, like the one she threw at Anti
  • – a juice box
  • – alternate bare legs
  • – several alternate hands
  • – the box cutter used for a, certain stabbing
  • – her computer monitor with Alexis Kerib’s face on it
  • – as well as two Kaiju clay models! Ghoulghilas & Devadadan!

That is QUITE the hefty accessory count, though undoubtedly something will be included as a GSC online shop exclusive. Possibly even one of the above revealed items. At this time, GSC has not confirmed Akane’s price but orders will open for her on December 26th, so we’ll know how much she’ll run you, at that time.
