It is! Even the weathering looks better than the original GX-01R+! I hope it is a regular release, because if not, my wallet will suffer... you all know I can't have just one! }D

And because I'm OCD...I'm compelled to buy it too. So, zipit about not-needing-to-buy-this-if-I'm-whining-about-repaints.

Would have been so AWESOME is instead of a repaint, Bandai would've released this one instead: The TRUE 1970's Toei Anime Mazinger Z!!! }D

They're all beginning to look the same to me.

Looks pretty the same as Go Nagai version... I agree with Tmz, a 1970 toei version could change a bit the clones line up.

They're all beginning to look the same to me. Because of untrained eyes. Eventually you'll be able to tell them all apart - if you care about that sort of thing. }D

No, it just means I don't really care anymore.
Not when they can't be bothered to make Great Mazinger that would match all these variants anyway.

It was such a disappointment that Koji and Mazinger Z had to be brought back into the series to boost it up. Hence, not much interest in Great Mazinger. Basically, Tetsuya and Great Mazinger will always stand in the shadows of Koji and Mazinger Z. Same applies to Getter Robo and Getter Robo G. }D

ALWAYS loved it since I first saw it.. The head even is more Toei looking! it has a very slight roundness to the face and perfect mouthpiece,longer horns too..looks just like the anime!.Its different than the sculpt they gave gx-01,painted differnt too,lighter steel and eyes are painted differently with yellow all the way to the edges of the cockpit well. LOVE teh straight legs machined looking too!And whay did they opt to do the tummy missile hatch the way they ended up on GX-01?Scrander is AWESOME too,no moving UGGHH parts.BOTH parts were perfectly done here!Maybe they wanted more of a "toy" ? Must have been with added UGGH vintage like fist launchers,and moveable scrander.I hate the GX scranders,they fixed GX-02R's why not GX-01Rs? Missile gimmicks and stuff are for vintage "toys" not anime replica gokins,that is what Id rather had with this. For me articulation is to change poses for the shelf,a variety,NOT for playing with.Just me though,i know there are guys who love to play with their gokins,but you can do that with hasbro junk.I consider my "toys" articulated statues.and that is not because im pretentious or "mature" because Im neither of those,i just take this hobby seriously that is all.

That proto sure is a beaut...no argument from me. As i mature, i appreciate beauty in classic. And like classic, it ages well. Unlike SRC.....nvm
