Gresh Reviews
BZPower
“Gresh is awesome, he really is. I'm not the biggest fan of the Inika build, I find that it fast became boring and stale, but Gresh tends to overcome this by being absolutly lovely, colourwise, aesthetic-wise, and he allows me to make up lots of words in reviews. He's really... More a nice looking figure, and the Thornax are the best launchers that I feel we've seen yet. His mask is awesome, and he just oozes personality and character, and that is, I think, the biggest plus of them all.”

“Well, Gresh is a pretty great set. He's not much different from sets of old, but he's a step in the right direction with a thicker torso and not extremely skinny. However, his legs are extremely skinny (I've already modded this, maybe pics later) and his arms are too long.”

“Gresh was my first Glatorian and is my favorite Glatorian. He is a really fantastic set! First, you have the new(and cool) hands, and the iron man-like head. He really looks like a jungle warrior, with his spiky armor and different shades of green. His weapons are both cool,... More and can be combined to make a shield. His mask is another thing entirely; a sort of helmet, with a very tough look.”
