Sword is a mistake. This is not based on Great Mazinger, right? Handles look like crap - what are they for anyway? The pilot is tiny (basing on Hover Pileder size) to be able to use those handles to climb up or down from the robot. The legs look way short on the picture as well. At least the face looks a lot better than Fewture's version. }D

Oh! Wow! Upon closer inspection it seems this thing has handles on both sides beside of the head, on the shoulders themselves, above the abs section, 2 sets on each forearm, 2 on the back, the knees and on the rear side of the foot. 16 total so far that I can see.
That's a lot of handles on a single figure... too many. In fact, the handles are now a deal breaker for me. They overused them.
Maybe we can call him "Handle-Z"?

Oh well haters gonna hate Back on track: Already like this guy more than the fewture designs. Maybe he'll have some kind of cape attatchment for those handle bars.

Yeah, it is looking less and less appealing to me. That's what happens when a classic is taken and "redone" to catch the interest of the "oh, Humanity is screwed" generation, that gobbles up redesigns like these, but find the original classic designs boring. The good thing about it is that, I will stop collecting for sure. . Maybe I'll use the extra money to collect better things. Like used q-tips... }D

Yeah, he should consider completely redoing the bottom half.... At least the hip placement and the length of legs. That,s horrible. Looks like he gave birth to one too many kids. I also see climbing handles on its feet...he really went handle happy on Maz. Details are thoughtless, just arbitrary tech bs...wow what a waste of good toxic PVC.

Those bars at the knees, shoulders, etc, look more like rollbars/crashbars/nerfbars, whatever you like to call them. As OJA said on the last page, "Bull Gaurds". NOT climbing handles. Same as bolted on to adventure motorcycles, trucks, buggies, military vehicles, to deflect damage, or prevent limbs from direct hit if falling on the ground, bashing the baddies, bouncing off buildings, etc. Or..could just be for latching down below a drop ship, or helicopter deployment, but...oh no! He has to pop up through the swimming pool like that? Madness! OH, and now with those hips! I can see why they strategically place the "MazingerZ" logo in the teaser drawings right over the waist area, to hide that goofy design until after getting folks excited, hahaha!

I for one really LIKE this! Maybe a tweak to the hips and sharpen up that crest to a point, and I'm sold!
if I could ask for it though, I'd ask for a non-weathered version myself...Fresh from the Waterfall and ready to take on DR Hell and his Mechanical Monsters!

That whole hip socket area is horrible. There are things I could point out that I don't much like about parts of the the rest of it, but that crotch area is fugly.
He should have a bowling ball accessory. And for some reason he makes me want to give him a nickname, like Burt, or Ted. "Burt Mazinger the professional bowling robot", lol.
You know what this reminds me of is a lamer version of the Fewture Mazinger designs.

If I want "roll bars" on a robot, I'd buy an original stock Mini. Them handles, bars, step rungs, nipple-piercings, whatever they are, has GOT to GO. As for that Pilder... zozo-mag

Even if I had the money I won't be buying this, the drawing was cool but upon seeing the actual Mazinger I just felt it doesn't look right. This is more industrial than a steampunk rendition. The design simply does not flow together along with the way the legs are designed. The blockiness also does not suit Mazinger Z. If Go Nagai actually approved this means he might be going senile!

I love how the original teaser shots were covering up the crotch area and now that we can see the full figure I can see why they did what they did. Who has the widest hips in the galaxy? MAZINGER Z !!
