Customer Reviews Bandai Tamashii Nations Ultra-Act Gridman
By Lee Hill on January 30, 2014Figure is great all around, paint apps are flawless, articulation is the standard Tamashii nations import figure style. Sculpt is extremely pleasing. BUT BEWARE! When swapping all the interchangeable hands the ball peg on the wrist is likely to snap off, I only had it for one day and broke it, and I'm very gentle with my figures. The hole in some of the hands is just a tad bit too small for the ball peg and adds a lot of stress to it when changing them frequently. So just be gentle and patient with it, other than that SOLID FIGURE. I highly recommended it.

First of all, let me say this figure is quite surreal because I never thought Gridman(Japan) or Servo(US) would be made into another toy, ever. As soon as I found out that Ultra-Act was bringing this guy back, it was a no-brainer for me to purchase this figure.
The articulation in particular is very good, but not great. The two flaws I have about this figure his torso area, he has a hinge, but his torso and hips don't really rotate left and right. The second flaw is an important one. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WITH THE HANDS. When you swap out hands, I suggest you pull them straight out instead of rotating left and right to pull it off.
The accessories however, make up for the flaws for the most part. The grid beam is awesome, and so are his arsenal of weapons that are painted quite well.
Now nostalgia plays a large part in why I also bought this figure, and I'll tell you if you are a huge fan of Gridman(Japan)/Superhuman Samurai(US) or anything else you were into the 90's this figure is a must have.

I grew up a huge fan of Tokusatsu/Kaiju with Ultraman being a great focal point. In the 90s I stumbled onto Gridman and the American counter part Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad(Jeez!) and I immediately dug the character of Gridman/servo. I mean...he's a Space Cop stuck in CyberSpace with an Ultraman schtick...too much awesome to ignore. I even collected the old figures from Playmates. I especially liked the larger transformable vehicles. They could combine to become the 2 prominent mechas Xenon and Drago and also had the ability to Armor up Servo/Gridman to form Synchro and Formo modes. This was really different from how things were done in Toku back then. Now fast forward almost 20 years. Bandai creates a line focused exclusively on the Ultra family of characters and Gridman/.Servo shows up in it.
I'm there! Father's day last year was a much needed break in a very stressful time for me and I decided to splurge and get this guy. 4 days later, I have him in hand! And upon opening the package...carefully...His left hand falls off. It was broken before I even got him half out the package. So...I gently put him back in the package and hit up Amazon to return/exchange for a new one. 1 day later. I have him in hand. I open the package waaaaaaay more carefully than before. This time, I go to switch hands to fit a pose I put him in for pictures taken for my review video on youtube( check that out here [...]) As I do that...the peg breaks. I can't remember if I sent it back again or not. I think I did and the opposite peg broke so I just super glued the hands I liked the best in place.

I purchased this figure and cannot be more pleased. This is an adult toy, very nicely detailed and very poseable. He comes with his sword, shield and sword shield combo and a couple of blast effects, and hands. This is a great figure, no stand included which is a bummer. I highly recommend this for adults. Be careful though the points of the sword(s) are shape and can cut you....KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN! This is a Superhuman effort from Bandai Tamashii Nations Ultra-Act Gridman and yes....lets kick some Gigabutt!!!
