Cool! He can convert into a giant Fist (chics would Luv that!)... Can he go into Middle-Finger mode? ;D zozo-Magengar ROFL ;D I like the figure too. We need the concrete details. I would like it to be GX-45A or something. No models for me please.

Chen's right... ok, maybe the concept looks weird, but yeah the Rocket Punch is Mazinger's signature weapon. It's also symbolic of Koji's symbiosis with the robot, like he's now graduated to the next level or something. The concept looks weird right Now. Later on folks will scramble desparately to get this figure set when it gets "hard-to-find" or "hard-to-order" or "the price of it is too high", whichever happens first. Many of our favorite super-robots looked weird when we first saw them, then they grew on us and we fell in love with 'em after watching the series. Give it time, it will sink in and we'll get used to it. I dig this new Maz character... ...ya either gotta Know him with Love, or with Respect. ;D zozo-Magengar I actually hate the fact that Bandai/Nagai changed a classic super robot into a cheap transformer wanna be. I do understand that Transformers are the "in thing" now a days, and that they wanted the new TV series to sell. However, that does not give them the right to screw up the Mazinger Z concept. That was a total lack of respect for the father of all manned super robots. I could care less if they had chosen Great Mazinger or Mazinkaiser to become a transformer, but they should have left the original untouched. Screw Bandai for doing it and screw Nagai for letting them do it!!! }(

It really isn't fair to compare this with a transformer. It doesn't turn into a vehicle like an airliner or a jeep, it turns into a giant fist.

Go Nagai sucks. I hope he catches a fulminating case of diarrhea! It is the least God can do to him for turning the best super robot ever into a sex toy.

No offense but you seriously need to get a grip, it's a toy based on a cartoon.

Wait a minute ............ the thigh extension joints are missing!! Could it be maybe he has the same mechanism as the Grendizer, to shorten the legs when in fist mode?

Whatever, he still sucks and I stand on what I said. ;D Back to the sucky giant fist Shin Mazinger, yes, it is probable that the legs will shorten in order to hide them. The more sucky it will be. It is a shame that I will still have to get one. Damn you Nagai! }X

I kind of like the proportions of the new one. He looks stronger. But I hate they changed the knee joints! I hope it comes with the old scrander too. I havn't gotten GX-45.. so I think I may have to wait longer to make up my mind

Once you will get it on your shelf, you will see it's definitly rocking with that giant wings ! (... I will take 2 ex...) I really like the way they upgrade the design. -> for the vintage form lovers, you allready have Gx-01 / 01B, / 01R / 01G / 01RG / 01 R+ / Kurogane no Shiro (damn it)... and the Gx-07 I and E... so it's time to have new design now... drop your comforter

Horrid! Images from Toysdaily: I'm getting one just because of my love for the character, but this figure is horrible... the CONCEPT is horrible! Screw you Nagai!!! }( Is it just me or does the text in the last image say a Sept release? Sigh.. this is downright frustrating, we haven't even had the Gx45 for a month and they pull this. I wonder how much of the God Scrander will be diecast? The wings themselves already look top-heavy as it is. Also, I guess we know now what those weird elbow pads were for, they form the Punches' knuckles. Gold
