SSSS.GRIDMAN THE GATTAI Full Powered Girdknight
Missed the preorder window on this one, but managed to snag the second one that popped up on Mandarake. And I'm glad I did, because this thing is great. This should be the same mold as the upcoming THE GATTAI FP Gridman, and it is a startling improvement. This isn't just some simple retool; it's an entirely new mold. Not even Gridknight is the same, overhauling him to better fit his role as the center of this robot, something the original Gridman failed to do.
The Good: Gone is the flimsy DX Full Powered Gridman. To start, Gridknight has been fitted almost entirely with ratcheted joints, meaning he can now much more easily hold the weight of all his machines. Not only that, but they took a page out of the Moderoid's book and made a stronger, more posable replacement torso, but also fixed the issue I had with it by giving it its own head, so you can display both Gridknight and FP Gridknight at the same time. But even if you choose to forgo it, Gridknight is perfectly capable of holding everything up.

Onto everyone else, this set actually comes with two Calibers of different sizes, and a handle so you can use the larger one's chest piece as a shield. Max, Borr, and Sky are functionally the same as vehicles, but Max's cannons now stop at the appropriate height so you don't have to fiddle with that during transformation.
Powered Knight Zenon may not look much different from the original, but has quite a few new tricks going on under the hood. For starters, it requires no adapters; everything is designed into the vehicles themselves, including the very impressive neck joint they added (which just blows my mind how they pulled that off). They also gave it a much better A-stance, actual ankles to accommodate it, and you can use Sky's transformation joints to give it some inward arm motion.
And Full Powered Gridknight is an impressive feat, being both taller than the original and around its scale to Dynazenon seen in the film. The transformation is also so much cleaner. Everything feels better, connects better, is much more solid, even more so than Dynazenon. They even made the cuts in Sky's wings the actual transformation joint, which several of the releases haven't done. And he is ridiculously posable. It has every joint; I don't know what else to tell you. It also comes with open and posable alternative hand. They even added dedicated engineering into Borr that allows for a brand new combination with Goldburn.

The Bad: Not everything is exactly perfect, though. While you can get the new Gridknight to work as Rouge Kaiser, the elbows are too long, meaning you have to twist the arms in a weird way to get them to fit, and Dynasoldier is less stable.
And both Zenon and FP have mediocre ankles. Like, they work, but Zenon's require a bit of fidgeting and you often have to display them on their toes. FP on the other hand just doesn't have enough rock, making more wide-legged, dynamic poses an issue. I recommend using the included stand to help with those (...which I did not take pictures of).
Tumblr media
Overall, the difference is quality between this and the original DX are dirt and stratosphere. If you were disappointed by the original, or if you liked the Moderoid, then I highly recommend this one, or just waiting a few months for the V2 to come out.

Finally got around to watching Gridman Universe the other day. It was ok, the animation was very good and it was cool to see everyone from Ssss.Gridman and Dynazenon again, but it was very chaotic and not in the way I like. I think the decision to put in anything and everything from both series and ramming it into a movie-length runtime ends up working against it. Also the plot was kind of hard to follow, didn’t really know what was going on most of the time. Oh, and in addition to pretty much every form of Gridman and Gridknight showing up they also introduced like half a dozen new ones and imo only one of them looked good.
Honestly it’s the sort of thing where you really need to like of the original TV series to get the most out of the movie because it really feels a lot like being bombarded with fanservice. It also feels like Trigger more or less saying they’re done with the IP, which I think is fair. Definitely doesn’t need any more.

SSSS.DYNAZENON THE GATTAI Gridman Universe & Big Goldburn
Thank goodness this one didn't have shipping issues like the last Goldburn set. In fact, I got an email a week out saying exactly when it would ship, and it arrived before the tracking number could even update. That's pretty good service if you ask me, especially compared to last time.
Oh, and I really enjoyed the crossover film. It basically gave us everything you'd want from this type of thing; catching up with the characters post-series, lots of fun character moments between the casts, previous villains playing heroic roles, every single possible robot combination you might want, just a lot of fun overall.
The Good: Gridman Universe is a decent upgrade to its previous incarnations. While it looses a bit of posability, it has ratcheted shoulders to help support the weight of the larger arms. The hands are also easier to swap, and they fixed the issue with the chest gem by giving it a release button on the back of the figure.
Big Goldburn is a bit of a brick, but has a few articulated areas. He's got arms, fingers and toes, wings, a bit of neck and tail, and a mouth (though its on the same joint as the neck, so it clashes). Also, when you spin the shoulders, the internals and tips spin in the opposite direction.
And Rouge Kaiser Gridman is very cool. It feels a lot more solid than its Gridknight counterpart, with the tail also serving to tripod the unit if need be (though it doesn't need it).
The Bad: While Gridman's new shoulders do help hold everything up better than its predecessors, I do find it to be a little under-powered. They hold a pose well, but if you start moving the figure, they will shift around. There are some weird transformation ideas that feel like they're there for longevity's sake, but they do seem and feel a bit odd at first. And this may just be a thing with international shipments, but the instructions seem to imply the chest piece is supposed to come with batteries (it is illustrated with a pulltab), but in practice has none. It required 3 LR44s, but it's important to note that those batteries have multiple names and can vary by brand, so have your phone out while shopping in-store for them.
Overall, while I can try and nitpick this kit, it's a fantastic addition to both the DX Gridman and The Gattai lines. It does a great job trying to adjust to the failings of its predecessors, and gives me high hopes for the Full Power Gridman V2 releasing later this year. I've got my nose to the ground trying to track down Full Power Gridknight (since I missed the preorder window on that one), so hopefully we'll get to talk about that one soon, too.

Shall UGF4 bring Jugglus Juggler, Mirrorman, Fireman, Redman, Jumborg Ace, Jumborg 9, Gridman, Gridknight and Andro Ares join the fight against Absolutian?
Too early to say at this point
All I can postulate about UGF4 is that the power scales would continue to rise
Gathering more peeps would imply that the Absolutians would continue to gather more allies and with them being more focused on getting stronger on their own, they'll also probably get more stronger allies along the way
Absolutians would probably get new forms from the Eternity Core
Absolutian Lord is on the level of the Legendary Ultras, so in order for the rest of the cast to remain somewhat relevant, I expect to see everyone bringing out their most powerful forms, like Mebius Infinity, Reiga etc
Belial and Toregia going off with their own weapons which I previously suspect that they'll become great threats on their own, parallel Belial getting possessed by present Belial to enable him to use the Giga Battlenizer (ngl, the resulting Belial would most likely look like Zero Darkness, Belial Darkness perhaps lmao). Parallel Toregia might either be sealing the other half of Grimude's power and then fusing with present Toregia to completely control Grimude's power on top of the duo fusion boost or sealing half the power of another super powered being
With that being said, I honestly don't think other than JJ and Andro Ares, they'll actually be joining since there's not enough hype for them to be integrated into "canon".
Gridman related characters for another reason, that being it hasn't really ended yet with the Gridman x Dynazenon installment to only start in 2023. Don't think TsuPro would integrate them with the Ultra Canon until they've firmly established their own Gridman Universe
(Or they might never be integrated since this kind of appeals to a different genre altogether, basically the mech sub-genre, personally not a mech fan so I hope they don't since having them would take away others' screentime lmao)
Andro Ares ties in with making the Andro species more relevant within canon, but with so many other more exciting events taking place, not sure if they have time for this tho
We could get more clues in 2 weeks once ep 10 is aired on Tsuburaya Imaginations and hopefully like the end of UGF2 where they posted a poster hint for UGF3, I hope they would do the same for the end of UGF3 as well
Thanks for the question!
