Did the parts set get delayed? Wasn't it supposed to come out last month?

True that. Just be ready for that Kaiser weapons set as soon as April arrives or pre-orders pop up, whichever happens first. Because fans will hound it like piranhas. zozo-mag

I got my Weapons Set on pre-order from Nippon-Yassan, but haven't paid for it just yet. Not very excited about it to be honest... }D

To me, it is pretty lame. Definitely not worth the $70 shipped that most places are asking for. But it is what it is on this collecting business...

Damn, as if the SRC Mazinkaiser itself isn't expensive enough. Might as well pay the double amount for an SOC Mazinkaiser... ...if it Ever gets made. Yeah, right, Bandai will suckerpunch us with an SOC version of the SKL and milk that one as well.

I'm watching episode 6 of the Mazinkaiser OVA when thanks to my quick eye, I saw a cameo appearance of non other than NEO GETTER! That's right!!!! Neo Getter appears in the OVA in all it's chogokin glory! Makes me wonder if this finally establishes that Mazinkaiser and Getter are indeed in the same universe or if Getter is a TV show inside the Kaiser universe like in Martian Sucessor Nadesico. Either way, it's a really cool finding for me and got me excited! If this is old news to everyone else... well, my bad. To me it's brand new info. Those wondering, can see what I believe is the Aoshima Neo Getter at 16:42 of episode 6 I wonder if there are more hidden eastern eggs in the OVA's....

Nagai like to toss around visual references to many of his characters, peppered throughout these Dynamic Planning anime shows and OVAs, as his way of marking his property and to remind us of his other anime shows and manga. Whenever you see something appear cameo in any of these Mazinger shows, you Know that object belongs to Nagai. ------- As for the Mazinkaiser SRC Weapons pack: You see that rod Boss is holding right there? It's a Bow-Flex exerciser bar for working your arms out. Boss handed that thing to Koji in last episode of the Mazinkaiser series. When the steering throttle broke off inside the Kaiser Pilder, Koji used that exerciser bar as a replacement steering throttle. ...that exerciser bar should've been included with the Kaiser Weapons Pack! zozo-mag

Hi all, here's the review for the Super Robot Chogokin Mazinkaiser Mazinkaiser in action! (From the Mazinkaiser vs Great Darkness General movie) Mazin Go! Pileder On! Scrander Cross! Mazinkaiser attacks Reitou Beam! (Cold energy beam) Rust Tornado! Turbo Smasher Punch! Fire Blaster! Kaiser Sword! Bandai included a second bigger sword for dramatic visual effect similar to Brave Might Gaine's accessory. Kaiser Nova! Comparisons Sorry, I was a bit under the weather so I didn't dig out the Max Factory Mazinkaiser for this shot. Group shot! The Good-Weighs --277 Grams, Mazinkaiser only --308 Grams, Kaiser Scrander attached -The weigh in : -SRC Shin Getter One – 263 Grams -Mazinger Z - 128 Grams -Great Mazinger - 136 Grams -Grendizer - 171 Grams -Shin Mazinger Z - 148 Grams SRC Dai-Guard weighs 289 Grams. So the heaviest you ask? Depends on your choice, if we're talking about just the base bots without the attachements (Scrander and Knot Punisher), Then Dai-Guard wins. I haven't weighed Dai-Guard with the Knot Punisher yet though (forgot to try that, sorry). So I'm not sure who's heaviest with the attachments on. Diecast parts include -Sections of the torso -Lower legs -Groin joints and shoulder joints. -Bandai also made the Fire Blaster chest plates moveable so they don't get in the way of the Turbo Smasher Punch pose. -Bandai included the Kaiser Scrander. Lol.. at first I thought the Scrander would be a Tamashii Web Exclusive item, like the Shin Getter Tomahawk. -My personal favorite here though is that they improved the connection slots for Mazinkaiser and Scrander, unlike the backpack/ wing connection for Shin Getter (that was a pain to work with IMHO). -Pull out joints system still in place to help pull off awesome poses. -Kinda surprised Bandai made the horns moveable, to do the Reitou Beam attack, I don't think this was ever mentioned? Cool Easter Egg though.... The Bad-Non-removable Kaiser Pileder. Unlike the Maz and Great Maz figures, which had removable Pileder and Brain Condor -I dunno, maybe I missed it, but the ankles seem kinda restrained? I'm not sure if there's a pull out joint there to help, but at the time I was handling it, it didn't seem like there is one? -Secondary joints in the wrists tend to pop out when you try to swap fists. Putting them back in can be a chore especially when you have to put the golden "cuffs" back in as well. You can avoid this if you're mindful of the problem. The Ugly..... Well... not really much to say here, this one knocks it out of the park, great release and really hits all the right spots. A definite must have for any Super Robot fan. Now... if only Bandai would reissue the SKL figure... Funfact: Mazinkaiser made its debut in the Super Robot Wars Games (Super Robot Wars F Final), in the game you're given the choice, either power up Mazinger (to the level that appears in the last episode of Great Mazinger) or expose Mazinger Z to Getter Energy and make it evolve into Mazinkaiser.... (yeaaahh.... what is this, Pokemon)? Funfact 2: Despite its popularity, the Mazinkaiser vs Great Darkness General movie was never released Stateside (only the Mazinkaiser OVA series and the SKL series were released in the US). Funfact 3: Supposedly, the Mazinkaiser vs Great Darkness General movie is set in a different timeline (separate universe?) from the Mazinkaiser OVA. Gold

That SRC Mazinkaiser certainly is a beautiful sight to behold. And I love how his Scrander wings are "bladed" sharp towards the edges like a double-edged sword... just the way those wings Should be, for the Kaiser Boomerang (which he used in the "Mazinkaiser vs Ankouku Daishogun" movie).
Thanks for the awesome review, Gold!

Damn Gold. That was one hell of a review. Gave me some serious ideas for posing the bad boy.
I know some people have complained about the sharp points. It is true. This bad boy is SHARP. Especially the arms. I keep a small cloth around to use when changing hands. Speaking of which, the best way to take the hands off is to pull at an angle. I think Choryujin had a similar problem
