It’s a double whammy of SSSS Gridman merch today. We’ve seen Goodsmile take on Studio Trigger’s SSSS Gridman but now Megahouse will be throwing their hat into the ring as well with the ActiBuilder SSSS Gridman line up.

Unlike the big boy Goodsmile is working on, Megahouse’s Actibuilder SSSS Gridman appears to be going in the opposite direction by releasing these designs in a much smaller scale. We can only assume that from the name, Gridman can combine with his auxiliary machines but unfortunately there isn’t much to go on aside from the impressive display MegaHouse has for this action figure line at Wonder Festival, at this time we aren’t exactly sure what this toy line will end up being. 

Stay tuned though, and we’ll provide you more up to date info as it becomes available.

With the release of Studio Trigger’s SSSS Gridman Anime drawing near, we’ve seen a slew of Gridman related merch coming out of the woodwork. It’s Summer Wonder Festival right now, and Goodsmile just revealed their take on a DX SSSS Gridman based on the new hero’s design.

We can only assume that this means Goodsmile plans on releasing this Gridman figure together with his auxiliary vehicles but for now, there doesn’t seem to be much info to go so we can’t be sure if this is part of a preexisting Goodsmile line or it’s own thing entirely. For now, enjoy this picture  of a finished sample piece taken at the convention and we’ll be sure to bring you more up to date info as it becomes available.

Appropriately given the same acronym as the show itself, SSSS Gridman has had it’s first merchandise revealed with the Strong Style Sofvi Series of vinyls. Produced in conjunction with Fine Clover, a company known for it’s frequent collaboration with Good Smile Company, the line looks to be off to a very strong, and well, stylish start.

So far we have our first looks at the modern Gridman of the SSSS series as well as the original Denkou Choujin Gridman. More are sure to follow, hopefully with some Kaiju as well like the original toyline. For now, these look to be pretty impressive vinyls and the first Gridman vinyls to have been produced since the original series wrapped in the mid 90’s.

When full release details become available we’ll be sure to update you with that information.

Today the production team behind the Denkou Choujin Gridman revival project, SSSS Gridman, held a live event called Gridman Special Night to promote the October premiere of the series.

The event featured interviews with the cast and crew, hi-res looks at character & kaiju designs, and a surprising look at a physical live action suit for SSSS Gridman! This suit was surely produced for promotional purposes rather than any real use in a live action production, but it’s unquestionable just how good it looks standing next to the original Gridman. Hopefully this isn’t the last we’ve seen of it.

SSSS Gridman officially premieres this October!
