Gridman is newly reborn in the "Diaclone" series! I played with "Diaclone/Gridman Universe 01" Super God Combination Battles Gridman! Part 2 [Taiyuki's Toys and Games Vol. 12

In this installment of his popular series, voice actor Yasuyuki, who is the biggest robot lover in the voice acting industry, plays around with the latest toy toys and hobbies that interest him!

This time, continuing from the previous installment, we introduce Takara Tomy's "Diaclone/Gridman Universe 01"Super God Combination Battles Gridman!

⇒ Gridman has been reborn as a new figure in the Diaclone series! I played with "Diaclone/Gridman Universe 01" Super God Combination Battles Gridman! Part 1 [Taiyuki's Toys and Games Vol. 11

As announced in the previous issue, this time we have combined Gridman with the Battle Hanger/Assist Weapon to create the most powerful form!

First, separate the Bollet Fighter from the Battle Hanger.

Raise the battle hanger and ......

Slide the cannon downward and deploy the waist armor and leg armor. Angle the main wings as well.

Combine Gridman to the joint near the center of the fuselage.

Stretch Gridman's leg necks to assume the combined posture.

Close the waist armor.

Close the deployed leg armor to complete the leg assembly.

The arm and shoulder armors that were suspended on the main wings are merged into Gridman while moving on the rails of the main wings. The arm armor is linked to Gridman's arms and wrists protrude when the arms are merged.

The chest armor is lowered to cover the chest.

Push in the silver parts of the cannon cannon base block to separate the leg armor from the battle hanger.

Once separated, move the cannon into position.

Move the main wings to separate the arms and shoulder armor from the main wings, and split the leg armor to the left and right. Angle the shoulder armor spikes and lower the head armor to complete the combination!

"Super God Combination, Battles Gridman!

Wings like a cape, cannon cannon extending from his back. The "Super God Combined Battles Gridman: Mode A (Flight/Bombardment Maneuver Mode)" with a silhouette never seen before in any Gridman figure is now complete.

It looks like Gridman's head is directly covered by a helmet, so it is cool to see Gridman's eyes inside through the visor!　Furthermore, the design is reminiscent of Gridman's previous combined forms, while exuding a Diaclone-like quality!

The same goes for the chest and shoulder designs!

These turret parts are "Han"!

The arms have also increased in volume. The arms have also increased in size and power.

The legs are angular in design and look very hard.

The upper body is movable.
Despite the heavy equipment, the joints can be used with Gridman's joints, and the range of motion is still mostly intact!

The leg spread, roll, forward/backward swing, and knee movement are all the same as Gridman's. The legs in particular have reinforced armor on the sides. In particular, the legs have no reduction in range of motion, even though reinforced armor has been added to the sides of the legs.

The ankles of Battles Gridman are movable in this way.

The ankle blocks are also large, which contributes to stable posing.

The head is not movable, but the chest is flexible as well as Gridman. The figure seems to swing widely with its entire body, giving it a powerful impression.

The wing base is also movable, so it can be used without interfering with the movability of the arms.

Punch with the thickened arms!

The flying pose of the Thunderclaw in flight/gunfire maneuver mode looks a bit like this, doesn't it?

Thunder Crush Caliber can be mounted on the joint on the back.

Of course, it can also be held in the hand.

Battles Gridman holding the caliber, rising and chasing after the enemy.

The power vises on his arms can be deployed.

The cannon on his back can be pointed forward,

Battlesu Gridman: Full Attack Mode" is completed!

The cannon and main gun capture and annihilate enemies!

And another form. The battle support aircraft parts equipped on his back have been removed.
Super God Combination Battles Gridman: B Mode (Close Combat Maneuver Mode)

By removing the wing and cannon, the figure becomes reminiscent of the old "Thunder Gridman".

The back of the figure has been cleaned up, but the black body has been emphasized, oozing a cool, mature look.

In close combat maneuver mode, he looks like he could grab an enemy with his power vice.

Equipped with a caliber!

In close combat maneuver mode, it can be used in a tricky way by holding it in the opposite hand!

And one last thing. The Bollet Fighter is also combined into a combined form!　However, it is just a combat support unit combined with a joint in the waist armor.

The energy of the Bullet Fighter can now be used as well!

The Diaclone fighter is just the right size to fit on your shoulder.

As the name "Battles Gridman" suggests, the Bollet Fighter can be combined with other Battles items.

I combined it with the normal "DiaBattles V2" and "Space Mobility Type" that I had on hand.

Since the Bollet Fighter and Battles Gridman have joints on each part, they can be combined with various Diaclone items, including the Verstaser series.

The more Diaclone items you have, the more possibilities you will have.

So, what do you think of the dream collaboration item "Battles Gridman"?

By the way, "Gridman Universe" is currently in its third series, and expectations for future developments are only increasing.

What kind of Gridman will be released next?　We will continue to keep an eye on it.

See you soon!
