Wah~? I'm going to check on my trio. I never got the impression Great was that big... TMZ, Did you redo Great Mazinger's head? I'm not getting the usual "here kitty, kitty face" vibe from your Great.

I might get it, I like the basic Shin Mazinger figure and depending how much would go good with the chrome HLPRO Grendizer. Besides I like chrome limbs, but I doubt any of these Tamashii variations will be any more then re-colors. It costs Bandai very little to make these since tooling is done already and all your getting are different paint jobs or whatever which is very easy to do. A re-molded head or re-designed body would be a regular release and that would have to take the place of something else so you can have a re-designed Great Mazinger or a Shin Getter hmmmm I wonder which one will make more money. I do like the chorme finish. I would like to get it if it is not going to be too difficult to find.

LOL... Yeah, it is bigger than Mazinger Z - but a little sleeker. As for the head, check this out: robotjapan.proboards.com/thread/19087/weapons-set-ii-src-mazinger?page=2}D

actually magengar, the entire SRC Great Mazinger needs to be redone not just only the head but as well the entire body. compare to SRC Mazinger Z or Shin Mazinger, SRC Great Mazinger is still to small. Nah, they are in perfect anime/OVA size: But I agree that the Mazinger Weapons Set II needs to be released! }D ...you do realize that you got your SRC Great Mazinger already extended in its joints right? because right now im looking at my SRC Mazinger Z and SRC Shin Mazinger Z with my SRC Great Mazinger meeting shoulder to shoulder. by no means Great in its standard pose (no extensions) should be the same size as any of the SRC Mazinger Z

Pics are not photoshopped. The SRC Mazinger Z is close to 13.5 cm tall, the shortest SRC to date. The SRC Great Mazinger is still taller anyway. }D

Also note that the SRC Great Mazinger's waist only looks "smaller" compared to Mazinger-Z's waist, because Mazinger-Z is wearing his Jet Scrander... ...the Jet Scrander's belt grapple gives the optical illusion that Mazinger-Z's waist looks "bigger"...
...take the Jet Scrander off his body, and you'll see the waist size is just the same as Great Mazinger's waist.
The thighs on both robots also look identical... made from the same mold, and a duplicate mold of that thigh part was made to add the extruded sword compartments for Great Mazinger's thighs...
...And a similar process was done for the forearms as well.
(that's just my wild guess how those parts were made)

According to TD, Looks like Chrome Shin M. will come with "defeated" Energer's severed head as an accessory... Did original SRC Shin Mazinger come with "defeated" severed Garada's head? Yes, YES it did. Boy, SHin is a brawler, an A$$ Kicker! He finishes the fight and He makes sure They never get back up.... wow!
Now getting the Chrome Shin becomes even more attractive...

The SRC Great Mazinger is still taller anyway. }D i never said your pics where photoshoped in anyway, i said that you have Great Mazinger already extended in his waist area and upper part of the leg joint by using the extensions that gives him extra articulation to make him look taller. this should not be translated as taller = bigger. By no means using extensions that is part for only extra articulation should be use to make the figure bigger(or in this case taller), it only makes it even disproportional because its only making him longer on the waist and legs but body mass wise does not match. As it stands his just as small as both SRC Mazinger Z and Shin Mazinger in his standard pose which this is a no no. Also SRC Mazinger Z is not the smallest SRC to date, that title goes to SRC Volfogg going around 4.5 inches while SRC Mazinger Z goes around 5.2 inches, but that will change once Mic Sounder comes out which he will be the smallest SRC. Also note that the SRC Great Mazinger's waist only looks "smaller" compared to Mazinger-Z's waist, because Mazinger-Z is wearing his Jet Scrander... ...the Jet Scrander's belt grapple gives the optical illusion that Mazinger-Z's waist looks "bigger"... ...take the Jet Scrander off his body, and you'll see the waist size is just the same as Great Mazinger's waist.

( that's just my wild guess how those parts were made) zozo-mag i can assure you Magengar that SRCMZ waist area is still bigger than SRGM even with out the belt, the only difference which is big between the 2 is that SRCMZ has more body mass while SRCGM is more flat. you can notice this by looking both of them on the side. also i notice that SRCGM has short silver upper arms compare to SRCMZ.

Look at the pictures of my SRC Great Mazinger next to my SRC Mazinger Z and then look at yours. Mine doesn't look so disproportionate. Also, look at where the pelvis is in relation to the Mazinger's. The SRC Great Mazinger is taller than the SRC Mazinger Z bro. Yes, I forgot about Volfogg. It is the smallest SRC to date. }D

The pelvis are should never be use as reference point, there just above Mazinger Z pelvis because of those extra knee extensions that are making his pelvis look taller" but his torso is not. Because of this his Pelvis does not match to his torso which his should be above Mazinger Z's torso(with no extensions) but instead there pretty almost parallel to each other. the actual point of reference where it should be use is his lower legs, the blue leg although they have more mass than SRCMZ lower legs, there just at the same level in the knee area. those lower legs should at least be in knee level higher than MazingerZ's and he should have more body mass than Mazinger Z, heck, great Mazinger's feet are bigger and yet is not helping him to be much taller not to mention they need to seriously size up his head.
and now that Grendizer is out as well the soon to be release of Shin Getter and Mazinkaiser, he looks extremely small while both SRC Mazinger Z and Shin Mazinge look great with them which make SRC Great Mazinger look small instead of been the other way around.

Disagree. The pelvis height is an excellent reference point - it CLEARLY points out that the SRC Great Mazinger is taller than the SRC Mazinger Z, even when both are in normal or extended mode. Pictures are pretty much proof, I don't know what else to tell you. You know, I'll leave it at that.

is not about where the level of his pelvis is, is about the entirely overall of the figure which is conflicting in itself.(more like Bandai screw up from the get go)
if the pelvis is the best reference point as you say, then by that logic SRC Great Mazinger's torso should be higher equal to how high the pelvis is and not sitting at the same level of SRC Mazinger Z's torso. but because the torso is not matching the height like in the pelvis it is not a good reference point since its conflicting, the torso should at least be a bit higher than Mazinger Z' torso and not on the same level. The pic shows that clearly that Great Mazingers proportion are way off, hell even his arms and head are a give away. SRC Great Mazinger got compacted, we need a new one.
i blame Bandai for this, they started the line to make it only around 5 inchs and now there making the SRC in different sizes and the ones to pay first where Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger.

JUST by looking at his tiny tiny head, SRC Great Maz just needs to be bigger overall ...
It's obvious His head was shrunken "Greatly" to fit now obsolete said 5 inch SRC mandate. I'm sure Bandai knows this. If Bandai has time to sculpt decapitated head of Energer accessory for recolored Shin Maz, it has resource to redo Great.
And Bandai REALLY~ should redo SRC Great for SO~ many good said reasons...like, Tiny cat head, girly thin waist, geeky pencil thin neck, ginormous hands, one of a kind wing plug, half baked Brain Condor plug and so on and on...just do it Bandai. It's guaranteed More money, so why not?

You're right, Drout... the SRC Maz has more body mass than the SRC GrtMaz, and the MZ's waist does look bigger without the Scrander, looking at them from this view. And, I shouldn't even talk--- I Still haven't scored me an SRC Mazinger-Z yet! lmao When I do finally score him, I'll have my ribbon tape measure handy to report back here with pics notes and comparisons... just y'all wait -n- see! zozo-mag Also note that the SRC Great Mazinger's waist only looks "smaller" compared to Mazinger-Z's waist, because Mazinger-Z is wearing his Jet Scrander... ...the Jet Scrander's belt grapple gives the optical illusion that Mazinger-Z's waist looks "bigger"... ...take the Jet Scrander off his body, and you'll see the waist size is just the same as Great Mazinger's waist.

Definitely GM needs a SRC reissue solving the problem of the head size.
And please Bandai do a redesign and improvement of SOC Maz an Great Maz with all the improvements of the SRC line. For me, the SOC size is still the best.
Regards.

Anyhow I dont call GX-01R the definitive Mazinger,that is left for GX-01R+.Even though the articulation is the same the sculpt is way better for the Toei Maz. GX-01R is the devilman OVA version as TMZ discussed,and 01R+ the Toei version just switch scranders! BTW everyone should own 01R+ and he is still available at Anime Export guys.Your next non preorder back catalog buy should be him,so race on over to AE if you have the loot I recommend it!

honestly, I don't mind that Maz and Great are slightly off in scale since that's easily fixed with some trickery in the joints...plus, in my eyes, Super Robots have NO Scale...mostly SRW's fault, but still...I WILL complain that it looks like Great's head looks like Dr Hell hit it with a Shrink ray while it was in maintenance...
as long as the Robot in question has good Proportions (Compare: SRC Mazinger Z, SOC Getter-1 OVA. Contrast SRC Gurren "Dat Ass" Lagann, Most Revoltechs), and has most of attacks represented in some way, then I'm happy.
oh, Who here would buy a SRC Energer Z?....actually...Why hasn't anyone MADE a SRC Energer Z yet? is it the bike? because aside from changing the "Crown" and the Breast Fire Plates, there's nothing else to do...
