I don't think the cockpit is clear, just nicely painted.

Fatty is looking really good, and I hope the Breast of Fire effect fits the Toei version as well... but if it doesn't, there will be some customizing going on!

Thanks for the link Dead-Man.

Ouch! Either the guy got a bad sample or the factory workers were in a rush because that is the worse paint application that I have ever seen. Specially on the face!

Yikes! You're right! The gold and black paints are all over the face! Bad QC, bad QC!!!

I'm very happy the Breast Of Fire effect is a stand-alone piece.

That makes it a lot easier to reproduce and modify for use with the classic Mazinger Z.

I sure love that Phatty, but da face paint gotta Go.

I'm sure the factory will correct it before the figure's released
to the market... they just Know no one's gonna buy a badly painted
action figure in That sorrayazzed condition. lol

Those accessories look really nice... you can mix/match 'em
with the first SRC Mazinger for the fun of it... just call it

"Weapons Pack 1B"............ the B as in "Borrowed.

thats kinda mess up paint job in its face, i mean for the price they are charging for it should be done better. Even the eyes it looks kinda bad IMO and the neck looks terrible as well with all those weird markings. i guess he truly got a defect version but still the figure looks really nice but i will have to be careful with this one when purchasing it in the next local anime con.

as for the accessories im kinda disappointed that it doesn't bring its own Jet Scrander but brings the belt for it. guess i will have to buy a second weapon set 1 for Shin Mazinger.

the breats fire effect parts looks really nice and if someone would add red led light to the figure, the effect its going to look even more awesome.

Got my payment request from Amiami. Unfortunately I had to request them to change the shipping from SAL to EMS. Seems they put a lot of pricey stuff in one order and SAL was going to be almost 5,000¥. Might as well get them shipped EMS for that much shipping!

I wish there were smooth batwings without the hinges added in the set.But I guess that is the way they look in the anime huh?

Yeah, the wings are hinged and have a slight mechanical
appearance in the anime... that way he can "transform"
into the giant "God Scrander" Rocket Punch fist, as his whole body
gets tucked inside those wings.

The thing seems to have more articulation in the wings that I thought. Not that I care, but with a few more hinges, this thing could completely change into the giant rocket punch.
