I think that everyone wants a Metaltech of their favorite character, and that is fine. But like everywhere else, there will be disagreements. I like the Metaltech Grendizer, but aside its metal content, it really pales in comparison with the Bandai version. That is not to say that it is a bad figure, but it is not in the same range as Bandai's. I think the same will happen with a Metaltech Mazinger Z, it will not be as "nice" as the Bandai SOC or even the SRC versions. However, that does not stop me from wanting a Metaltech Mazinger if it ever gets released, just like owners of the Bandai GX-04 and Metaltech 01 will love to have Bandai make a new version of Grendizer in either SOC or SRC forms. It is only natural and no offense should be taken, but unfortunately it does. Even in this forum, the first replies to somebody's comment stating that he/she would like to see newer more modern versions of Mazinger being released is one in the likes of "oh, not another Mazinger" or "this is Mazinger number 1,000,000". So what? That is what the person likes and it should be respected. Funny how there are hardly any negative comments on how many Gundams RX-78 are being released.
But I digress, everyone has their own tastes and opinions and that's all they are.

I don't get how wanting a different new character on the market is hating on Mazinger ? Hopefully HD will continue catering towards their fans in Europe and the Middle east and ignore this whole Poll that their having ;D So, you're saying that our votes should be discarded even when they more than double all others combined. Nice to see that our requests are not worth anything... ...and then you complain... }I

Personally, I just like to have one of a kind in my collection. I only have gx-04 and I'm happy with it. Maybe it just me, but I think it would mean more if I have one decent grendizer model in my collection than every single one on the market. (I'm debating on getting Metaltech01 and Metaltech01+, but I'm not sure just for the reason above)
I'm not complaining. Like I said, it's HL decision at the end.

There are a few collectors that like only one of each character in their collection. However, that is not what the toy companies cater to. They want people to buy, and buy, and buy. That is why there will continue to be Mazinger Z releases, as well as every other famous characters, for many years to come. As technology improves, so does the ability to create better action figures. I personaly like to have the best that's out on the market when Super Robots are concerned. That's why I don't do vintage figures, only modern. And that is why I would like to see a Metaltech Mazinger, and Great Mazinger, and Mazinkaiser, and Getter Robo, etc... After the main Super Robots are done, by all means, bring on the baddies!!!

Well put there! That is what some people don't seem to understand very well, that we will always want a better figure of our favorite character. The grendizer example said it best because all the people complaining about too many mazingers will be the first ones buying a new more modern soul of chogokin grendizer, that is for sure.

Let's not forget that we are talking here about HD, so if we are going to wait until all the heroes are made 1st(and don't forget about all of their accessories), then wait for their baddies then only our grandchildren will be enjoying them.
I had high hopes for Bandai with their SOC, especially after they released GARADA K7 and Doublas M2 but until now I haven't seen any.

By the way, HL PRO just posted an interesting comment on their main poll topic. I really can't tell. I guess we have to wait and see until Nuremberg toy fair like he said.

The Metaltech Grendizer is a sweet figure, it's just a shame the company couldn't or wouldn't follow it up with regular releases. I won't get into it because I've already stated that High Dream dropped the ball in this segment big time but hopefully they do finally release the Spazer and Giru Giru figure. But I'm pretty sure sooner or later Bandai will release a SRC Grendizer and with awesome Space Thunder and maybe Hand Beam effects. Because I spend a fortune on my medical treatment, it's not that easy for me to buy all what I wish to purchase! So, at the moment, I am thinking 'n thinking 'n thinking shall I get Metaltech01 and Metaltech01+ then, Giru Giru or shall I wait for a SRC Grendizer to come with its awesome weapon effects and perhaps a Spazer they'll make later? If I am to answer myself, I'd say better to get Metaltech cuz it has more diecast and already has its spazer now + an enemy line's coming on the way! Though, cannot deny that a SRC Dizer would be a serious kick@$$ action figure.

(I'm debating on getting Metaltech01 and Metaltech01+, but I'm not sure just for the reason above). You know, my friend, that's actually what I wanted when I decided I want a Grendizer figure! I wanted only a Dizer and its Spazer, and back at the time, the only decent looking was GX-04S. It's great for display but not that satisfying for poses, you know... Revoltech 085 is the king of poses, Metaltech is good with poses and size is better than the 12.5cm dwarf...so, here we go... you find yourself longing for more options! Bottom line: I don't think a company will ever give us the ultimate Grendizer figure of a nice scale, good articulation and lots of diecast, so we keep buying and they stay in the bu$ine$$!

Thank you. I actually voted for Mazinkaiser! There is a Grendizer villain already on the way, so...because the only good looking Mazinkaiser to me is the Revoltech 016 dwarf, I would like to see how a HL PRO Mazinkaiser would look like! Plus, I think its size gonna be nice next to my SOC GX-04 and the SRC Mazingers (Grendizer h30m | Mazinkaiser h23m).

Guys, everyone, this is kinda of a poll post! I would like to know about your tastes...
Which version of Metaltech Grendizer you prefer to see with Metaltech01+ (spazer)?
1) Metaltech01 2) Metlatech01' (manga color)
I prefer Metaltech01 w/ Metaltech01+. You?

I've only got the standard MT01, myself, but I like the darker colors, personally.

Since I have the SOC gx04, then I wouldn't mind the manga colored one...just for a change.

I'm speculating, since I don't have one manga color yet. But since I don't really dig the silver limbs that much, I'll go with the Metaltech-01(manga color). }D

Nice I see many interested in the manga color Metaltech01'. This will grant that there will be enough MT01 in stock for me if I can't buy it those days LOL! Cheers, guys! Umm, so do you expect the MT01+ spazer to hold Dizer very well? I know we'll have to separate his upper part from the lower in order to insert him in spazer, but usin' what for the attachment? A magnet like the SOCs, or just pushing it inside?

I'm sure I can spare one of the regular color ones for you if it comes to that. ;D }D

New Pics at www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?fbid=134434359955447&id=125853637480186&aid=28781 Enjoy kind of disappointing to see that the grendizer base does not have the research center ontop. looks kinda empty and plain is it me or does the spazer look a bite too rounded at the bottom.
