Why anyone would want to have more than one version is beyond me but I remember seeing Forum Tsuragi posting all of the different version way back when. And because there are so many versions, there is no such thing as being rare. It's like baseball card, when they have parallel versions. A 1 of 1 version, a 1 of 10 version, a 1 of 100 version, a 1 of 1000 version, a 1 of 10000 version then the standard version where is 1 of 100000 version. Doesn't really make the 1 of 1 version appealling since there are 111111 copies of the same thing, only difference is the color of the border or the surface. BTW, 9 X 150 is around 1350 if you collected these at the time they were new releases It'll be hard to get all of them for less than 1350$, US dollars.

I'don't own any of the versions, but I wish I had one! I've read there are so many versions, that I never made my mind about which one to buy. I like the black and chrome combination though..

i like the chrome version because it could go so well witha SOC collection, but never bought it because it brings the black wings and i prefer the red wings. another thing that i don't like about the Aoshima figures is those weird extension joints.

Yeah I had to buy two, one Overseas Black wing, which IMHO looks the best and has the traditional Mazinger colors and a Kowai Shokai version just for the red wings. Sold the regular version but kept the Black Wing one, it has black wings but I don't display it with them on so it doesn't bother me, I could always paint them too if I really wanted. But it's a great piece, not as stylized or has as many accessories as the MF version but is bigger with more metal and is way sturdier. The only downside is that i think it's a little too large to pose with SOC's while the MF is more or less the right size. I have both but I play with the Aoshima one way more, could be I've already broken parts on the MF which for me has been a trend with MF figures and the reason I won't buy anymore. But I do wish my version came with the chrome swords.

I like the Max Factory version because 1) its the original Mazinkaiser from the SRW games and 2) because in plain sight one could say is a SOC. but the Aoshima is the anime accurate version which i cant say no to that, but both the MF and the Aoshima has those weird elbow joints i dont like that i wish they could just change it.

These are the two version I have I really love this figure, and I think is the best mazinkaiser chogokin, maybe because I am not familiar with SRW but I feel the MF with very "human" proportions, it looks like a power ranger with ultra attachements to me, too thin in the arms and tights Too large in the legs and feet. I love my 2 figures and if possible i will someday get the Japan black version. I think that getting a different version of the same thing is what relly makes you a fan on something, look at ultraconvoy collection for example , he has lots of the same optimus prime figures and every possible variant to it.

Dude, there is no such thing as a cool price for these figures. Also, the people that still have them are probably not planning to sell them anyway. You need to constantly keep checking out Yahoo Japan or Ebay if you truly want them... but expect to pay "not a very cool price" for them.

You know, I never picked up a Mazinkaiser from Aoshima. Have the Max Factory release, though. I think I regret not getting an Aoshima release. Not sure. How is the palyability factor on these guys? Solid?

There pretty good with more joint articulation than you would expect. Plus if you've ever picked one up the weight of it is surprising, there's a lot of metal. A few years ago these were going for dirt cheap prices but now, they seem pretty rare with much higher prices for the more sought after ones.

I remember when i had the first Aoshima Mazinkaiser model in my hands like 6 or 7 years ago, they where selling it in a game shop for $220 "new" Mint in Box.
i ask the seller if the figure that he had in the display stand was the one he was selling, he told me yes. I told him he was crazy for that prize because:
1- The figure was not MIB, it was been display out of the box but still the figure was in the Styrofoam which you could see him clearly.
2- The Box itself was totally damage from ripping and crushing and seems it had water damage as well in some of the corners ( or coffe stain..im not sure), also the box looks like it lost some coloring to it.
3- the figure had also damage, the Scrander wings pegs one was broken off while in the other Wing had this weird scratch( not sure if the wing was stress out from some kind of pressure or is a crack). The kaiser Sword had some discoloring lost in the blade and in the handle. As for Mazinkaiser, my god the horror.... the right leg was scratch like it was been slide to a wall, the right shoulder was also scrath. he only had the set of punch fist but not the other ones that you can use to hold the sword (so in a way the Kaiser sword became a useless thing to have if you don't have those holding fist), there where no open hands and the kaiser pilder flying mode was missing.
i told him that figure cant have that prize, heck it cant even sell for over $100, i mean how the hell can someone say its "new MIB"?. the seller still persist that is gonna sell it at that prize so I dint buy it, i don't know if people think my actions where correct or not but im not gonna waste $200 for something that is not really worth it in that state. I left the shop and 2 months later,boom, close for bankruptcy.
my first and only chance that i had to buy Aoshima Mazinkaiser.

You said you want all of them, i guess $$ is not an issues for you. if you are willing to paid high prices a lot of ppl are willing to sell but not for cheap price, cool price or low price. i am sure someone will be willing to sell for a reasonable or fair price. fair and reasonable price should be around $150 to $200 each. so if you are willing to paid $$$$ in that range, post a wanted post on for sale session and try your luck. but at $150 to $200 u might be able to get one or 2 sellers but not all 11 of them.

thanks but how can i use yahoo japan with japanese lang.? unless you have a japanese bank account, you will most likely have to go through one of the many japanese proxies available. fees are usually anywhere from 10%-20% of the item price.

I'm surprised Tsurugi hasn't posted a comment on this thread. I think he has every Mazinkaiser that's been produced so far by Aoshima.

the MF and Ashiman Mazinkaiser with chrome really does look good with the SOC.
