Yes. It's perceived anime accuracy we all agree on. What we think it looks good ideally in our heart or mind. The ideal Proportions and colors that original source used to certain degree that current toy engineering allows.
Some of SRCs are using so much artistic license on proportion to deviate from the origin it makes me mad. I love Bandai but im def disappointed with this line as far as the aesthetic of few of the releases. For me This holds especially true for Grendy and the Kaiser...

On this day and age, a giant like Bandai can easily pull off an anime accurate figure with great articulation. So I have to disagree with the perception that it can't be done. May not be cost effective - Yes, but impossible - No. }D

I love to have an anime accurate characters that I can define which version is it from not just a Hybird character of all versions + what the toy designer thinks might be cool !! But ... we still bought it right? many of us even bought Two Copies !!

That is what I am talking about! To be fair their raideen was anime accurate! But their mazinger is an example of how this line don't consider anime accuracy that much! Decpite the fact that the src mazinger is one hell of a great toy, the mazinger it self is a hybrid version of our beloved mechanical god! The head is based on shin mazinger while the body features some of the 70s features!

I am sure Kryptonite Toys in Egypt will bring it in da house after some months from now! I am just yet unsure whether to sell my current SRC Mazinkaiser and get the new chromey one or not!
Which version do you prefer, guys?

Which version do you prefer, guys? I prefer both. I just don't think Chromey-Kaiser is worth it right now since it doesn't seem to have any differentiation or updated stuff from the regular Kaiser other than just being chromey. However, if I don't already have the regular Kaiser, I would've definitely bought the Chromey-Kaiser considering how much the OOP regular Kaiser is fetching these days from scalpers.

BBTS has the chrome one for $76 PreO.
I already ordered from AE for 64....had i known BBTS was going to carry it for 76. I would have went with BBTS. Arcadia is also on PreO. Nicely priced.
