SSSS.DYNAZENON THE GATTAI Gridknight & GoldburnOh, I have a story! I preordered these two back in July (’21), with it being announced that it would ship in January (’22). Now, there was a lot of issues with shipping in general back in January, so I wasn’t surprised when it didn’t ship during that month. Come March, I had still heard nothing, so I sent an email, and half-an-hour later I got an email saying it shipped.They had forgot to send mine.But it was just a label being printed, so I kept my eye out until it actually shipped, and I’m glad I did because my shipment was cancelled a few days later. I sent another email, and a few hours later I got a message in response to the first one saying they were sorry and giving me a new, working tracking number. Another two or three days later and I got a response to that second email, again apologizing for the confusion and re-giving me the second tracking number. It shipped a day or two later, and I obviously have it now, but if you haven’t received yours yet, you should probably email them about it.The Good: Gridknight is Gridman with a remolded head and bigger hands, and it’s a pretty good mold when those hips don’t have to support the weight of two support vehicles. It has a decent range of posability, and doesn’t need any adapters to combine with Goldburn or Dynazenon, though comes with one as a gap filler, and another so you can pose Gridknight on DynaRex’s back.Goldburn is also pretty good, having just enough posability to get any pose you might want out of it. He does require an adapter to be held as a shield, but that’s it; all other forms are easily accomplished without any.As for Kaiser Gridknight, it’s a surprisingly solid transformation considering Dynasoldier is just rocking out on its shoulder, but it actually uses the tail pipe as its main connection which gives it a lot of stability. The Bad: The chest connection for Kaiser Gridknight is very strong. I pulled Gridknight’s chest piece out the first time I combined them, and I think that happened when I combined it with Gridman a while ago as well. It pops back in easily, but it’s still concerning. What’s also concerning is the first time I tried to swap the right holding-things-hand the ball unpegged itself from the wrist. I was able to re-glue it together, but I worry I might find more QC issues in the future.The DynaRex-Burn Gridknight display adapter also feels like it was assembled backwards, so Gridknight always looks like he’s floating and you can’t really get any good poses out of it that don’t look good from more than one angle.And while I did say Gridknight had fine enough posability, there were a few iconic poses (mostly him crossing his arms) that I tried to but was unable to replicate.Overall, It’s a good addition to the lineup of now 11 Agents, machines, and kaiju that make up the Gridman team. I’m hoping we at least round it out to 12 in the upcoming movie, but I’d also just be happy with a second swing at Full Power Gridman with stronger hips.Again, if you ordered this set, and it hasn’t shipped yet, make sure to email Good Smile JP/US (depending on your region) to make sure you get it. -- source link
