I still can't get used to a Scrander with "fingers" even though that is the God Scrander... ...I like the original Jet Scrander better, for its aerodynamic design. zozo-Magengar

gonna pass on this one it just doesnt do it for me - the scratches on the bottom of the foot and pins that show in the wing just ruin the illusion the original gx 45 is enough for me

I think the worksmanship of this item is not very good as you can see some of the silver parts on the gold chrome.

Agreed, hopefully the paint isn't final because the red plastic is still showing on the hinges of the Scrander. Plus, hopefully the nameplate for the display stand will be golden too.
Gold

maybe this is the prototype paint model so he people can have a good idea how it will look. but again ill pass this, i never was interested about this kind of figures that are gold or black. specially this one if its only for the anime accuracy purpose

This may sound like a rather DUMB question, especially from Me..... but..... Why an SOC gold figure??? I wish I could elaborate on that question even more, but I can't this very moment. I can see gold used for the original Mazinger SOCs, ok. But to use it on the Shin Mazinger character is, in my opinion, a waste of marketability-- being that its anime series had just came and went like a fart in the breeze.
Damn, I'm so sarcastic right now. My apologies. I think that gold trend coulda went to use in other robot SOCs along that toyline. So many other super-robot SOCs still hadn't gotten their gold treatments, after payin their dues all these years... and yet along comes this new kid on da block gettin da Bling coat!
No Fair, No Fair... somebody better MUG that Maz, Quick! ;D

I'm of the opposite opinion when it comes to this. I like gold figures on occasion and this figure represents the only part of Shin Mazinger I still give a damn about at this point---those few kickass seconds of the intro.
As far as the scratches on the soles go, it's plated there. If the people at the office stand him up enough times it's bound to get scratched. In other words, NO THE SCRATCHES ARE NOT ENGINEERED INTO THE PRODUCT.
As far as the other glitches-----this is just a pre-production sample getting passed around the office. Of course Bandai could always dissapoint in the final release like they have a few times, but there've aready been gold-plated figures from them that are more fully covered in the plating. So the chances are decent this'll be the same.

I'm in no rush to get one because of the crazy mark-up, but yes, I would like one. Maybe I'll just buy a regular GX-49 and get it "gold plated" with gold paint. After all, there was a GOLD Giant Rocket Punch in the anime...

agree. in the anime it's a gold fist, not a gold shin mazinger. the transformation of this gokin is just a bonus. i'll pass on this one.

Yep. It was indeed just a gold fist. If Shin Maz was supposed to have been gold, he would have been shown gold during his transformation into that giant Christie Canyon Golden Sextoy FistFvck. ;D
I'm not dissin the Shin Maz Shougeki series, I actually LOVED it for what it friggin did to me during the summer while traumatized waiting for new episodes each week, until I got jipped in episode 26... ...Since then, I have Not been the same. ;D

Actually, to be nitpicky it did stay gold for a couple of seconds after it came out of fist mode. It even struck a pose. It was during holo-Juzo's flashback of it's first transformation. Can't remember the episode number, though.
