Fine Metallic glitters were applied on the black parts like the ones they did with the Atami version.. but finer and has a slight shades of green.. with a gold trimmings on every corners/edges.. a yellowish (not gold) pileder instead of red...

Hi All! Here's a quick look at the Gx-45C. Box Tray A little background and recap on this tricky item. Originally there were 100 units, all signed by Go Nagai and sold off to the first 100 vistors at the event celebrating the First Anniversary of his Wonderland Museum in the city of Wajima in the western Japanese prefecture of Ishikawa . For more on Go Nagai's Wonderland Museum opening last year go here: www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-04-27/go-nagai-wonderland-museum-opens-for-mazinger-z-creatorThe Autographed version is selling at insane prices of 1400 USD to 2500 USD now. A second batch of un-autographed Gx-45Cs were later sold on his website, the Dynamic-shop, via a lucky draw contest. No word yet on exactly how many figures are released. Currently they are now sold out as well. The ones circulating online are from this contest. www.dynamic-shop.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=284Last but not least, Tamashii Web has already begun taking lucky draw contest entries for their allocated Gx-45Cs. The contest end and item release will be mid-June 2010. Again, no word yet on how many units will be released. p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/Mazin Go! Unlike the Gx-45, the 45c is painted with a metallic finish (almost similar to the Gx-45 Atami Night Expo Exclusive Mazinger), along with gold-colored edges and additional face paint. Again, since this is a straight up repaint of the Gx-45, expect it to do the poses the Gx-45 can. Display base Comparison with the Gx-45 Yep... straight up repaint, with no new tooling (I was kind of hoping for at least a slightly resculpted head, similar to how the Gx-07 and Gx07e/i are, but alas..) Pileders. Interesting things to note: The trays don't have any tape seals, just like the Gx-45 An advertisement flyer is included with the manual, it shows how to get to the museum and the local places to check out in Wajima. I wonder if the flyer will also be present in the Tamashii Web versions? Since this is unit from Go Nagai's Dynamic online store, the flyer was half-expected to be included. Most important of all. Do NOT remove this tag! It's actually a part of the lucky draw serials so it's technically part of the package. I almost took it off and threw it away thinking it was transfer from another toy at the shop where I got the Gx-45c from. Luckily, a friend informed me of this before I got to it (procrastination saved the day. ). I really have no idea if the numbers signify the number of units released or if it's only a copy of the winning ticket number. Here's to another Mazinger. By my count this makes it Bandai's 15th(?) Mazinger in the SOC line. Funny, since Mazinger isn't even in my top 5 Super robot lists. LOL. ;D Gold

My GX-45C does not come with the E3520 tag. Perhaps it's because mine was bought off from the musuem and not from the online shop lucky draw.

No problem Gold. Just sharing the difference of my piece. Still hoping to get one more that is cheaper if my Japanese contact wins that Bandai Tamashii lucky draw. My respect goes to you for the great pictures of GX-45C, especially for the ones in your Daitarn 3 review where you put everyone together. I know it's an extremely tiring effort and it's something that I won't have the energy to do so, when making videos of toy reviews is already not an easy task. You really have my respect and I salute you.

Thank you Optimusprimesg. I highly value everyone's appreciation. Hearing compliments from follow collectors makes doing toy reviews more worthwhile. Gold

Not to sway from the topic, but I stumbled upon a videoclip of the Nagai museum opening day...
...not much to see from outside, though.

So this is where 100 people queue up to get the autographed GX-45C.

It looks like a very small building there. I was expecting to see mobs of fans moshin at the gates dyin to get the first signed specimens.
Jeez, I'd think an event like this would've been staged at a bigger venue like a town hall or decent-sized Convention center...
...All that money he's made over the years with Mazinger, and he opens a HUT. ;D

I pulled the trigger and purchased two of these Maz's. One to keep for display and one more to sell down the road, (but I never do!) So will stay NIB. The secondary markets are all ready going sky high on these. Will be interesting to see where the market goes on these in the next six months or so. My feeling is with Go Nagai having a personal hand in this, they will always stay "limited" But that remains to be seen. I do agree with most That the Mazinger line is getting long in the tooth. But all the re-paints do look spectacular.
