《金剛戰神》（UFOロボ グレンダイザー）自 1975 年播出以來，始終是日本超級機器人動畫史上最具象徵性的作品之一。作為永井豪與東映動畫共同打造的「無敵鐵金剛系列」第三部作品，它以更宏大的宇宙舞台和史詩般的戰爭描繪，向當時的觀眾展示了超級機器人題材的全新可能性。故事講述被迫離開故鄉的外星王子狄克·弗瑞德（化名宇門大介），駕駛巨型戰鬥機器人「克連泰沙」，與企圖征服宇宙的費加星聯軍對抗，守護地球與新的家園。這段「流亡王子 × 宇宙反抗」的主軸，也讓該作品在日本、法國、中東等地長期擁有驚人的跨世代人氣。

今年適逢《金剛戰神》播出 50 週年，萬代正式以 ROBOT魂＜SIDE SUPER＞ 系列推出原作版本的克連泰沙，象徵 70 年代超級機器人正式加入這個以高可動、高精度著稱的收藏線。此款克連泰沙全身採用多重關節設計，從手臂、腿部到軀幹皆能做出大幅度動作，使動畫中的戰鬥姿勢得以完全重現。角色最具代表性的必殺武器「雙刃回旋鎚（Double Harken）」可透過替換零件轉換成兩把「單刃回旋鎚（Single Harken）」，而前臂亦能替換以呈現經典的「螺旋粉碎拳（Screw Crusher Punch）」發射姿態，動作張力十足。以近年 ROBOT魂 SUPER 系列慣用的高密度造型風格呈現本機體，使克連泰沙既保有昭和機械的厚重感，又展現現代技術的流線立體感，對比過往的玩具版本更具收藏價值。

本體高度約 160mm，採用 ABS 與 PVC 材質製作，質感穩定度出色。內容物包含本體本身、替換用手首零件、可發射造型的螺旋粉碎拳零件，以及一整組雙刃回旋鎚。整體配件雖不算繁多，但完全聚焦在克連泰沙最具代表性的必殺技，使整體造型忠於原作、動作可玩性強烈，十分貼合粉絲需求。

市場反應方面，因為《金剛戰神》在歐洲與中東地區有強勢的懷舊市場，加上 50 週年題材具收藏意義，這次的 ROBOT魂版本在海外社群特別受到矚目。許多收藏家提到，本作造型精準、比例協調，且可動度遠勝以往的舊時代玩具，彷彿將昭和超級機器人的魄力以現代工藝重現。對於長年期待官方推出高素質克連泰沙模型的粉絲來說，這款商品幾乎可說是「終於等到的決定版」；對於近年因重製版動畫而入坑的新粉絲而言，它則是進入經典作品世界的最佳收藏入門。

這款 ROBOT魂＜SIDE SUPER＞ 克連泰沙不僅是為了紀念經典作品的半世紀里程碑，更象徵著世代交替後，超級機器人文化依然能以新的姿態感動新的觀眾。對於任何熱愛《金剛戰神》、熱愛昭和超級機器人、或收藏 ROBOT魂系列的玩家而言，它都是一款無可錯過的重量級作品。

 “UFO Robot Grendizer,” first broadcast in 1975, stands as one of the most iconic titles in the history of Japanese super robot animation. Created by Go Nagai in collaboration with Toei Animation, it is the third entry in the “Mazinger” series and expands the franchise into a grand interstellar saga. The story follows Duke Fleed, a displaced alien prince who escapes to Earth after his home planet is destroyed. Living under the alias Daisuke Umon, he pilots the mighty robot Grendizer to fight against the invading Vegan Empire, which seeks to conquer and rule the universe. This combination of exile drama, cosmic warfare, and heroic resistance helped establish the series as a cultural phenomenon in Japan, Europe, and the Middle East, where it remains beloved across generations.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the original broadcast, Bandai has introduced the classic Grendizer to the ROBOT Spirits ＜SIDE SUPER＞ series. This release brings a true 1970s super robot into a modern articulated action figure line known for accuracy and dynamic posing. The figure is engineered with a broad range of articulation throughout the body, allowing fans to recreate dramatic poses seen in the anime. Its iconic weapon, the Double Harken, features interchangeable blades that let it convert into two Single Harken units. By swapping the forearm parts, collectors can reproduce the famous Screw Crusher Punch attack, adding impressive visual impact. Bandai’s sculpting style for the SIDE SUPER series combines the weighty mechanical presence of classic super robots with sharp modern detailing, giving Grendizer a contemporary finish while remaining faithful to its Showa-era silhouette.

Standing about 160 mm tall and made from ABS and PVC, the figure offers a solid balance between durability and sculpt quality. The set includes the main body, interchangeable hands, the Screw Crusher Punch parts for both arms, and a complete Double Harken weapon set. Although the accessories focus on Grendizer’s main weapons rather than an extensive loadout, this streamlined selection emphasizes the robot’s most iconic techniques and makes posing straightforward and impactful.

Market reception has been overwhelmingly positive. Given Grendizer’s massive popularity overseas—especially in France, Italy, and Arabic-speaking regions—collectors around the world expressed excitement the moment the item was announced. Enthusiasts note that this version provides excellent proportions, clean sculpting, and articulation far superior to older toy incarnations. Many longtime fans view it as the long-awaited definitive modern figure of Grendizer, while newer fans drawn in by recent remakes or anniversary promotions see it as the perfect entry point for collecting classic super robots.

This ROBOT Spirits ＜SIDE SUPER＞ Grendizer is more than a commemorative anniversary release—it represents how the spirit of super robot culture continues to evolve while honoring its origins. For fans of the original anime, for collectors of super robot figures, or for anyone who loves the ROBOT Spirits line, this release stands as a milestone piece that captures the enduring power of a 50-year legend.
