Huh, LOL, looking at those shots above, I hadn't consiously realized how perfectly GoNagai/his art team, had snuck the Devilman face in for Mazinkaiser. It's dead on if you blur out the outer silver helmet sides and mouth grill.

Hi gang here's a quick look at Aoshima SG-14 Mazinkaiser 2015 OVA Colors Edition ( ToysGuardian exclusive, limited to 500 pieces worldwide). Whoa... that is one big silica gel packet. Did the regular release have this too? Even the manual is relabeled. Eep.... I never realized the Pileder could be removed from Mazinkaiser's head (never really tried for fear of breaking something). I'm glad this variation comes with the "transformed" Pileder packaged seperately on the tray or I'd never would've found out. Mazin Go! Pileder on! I was originally going to pass on this item (lol, this review is 6 months late, no?), but Toysguardian had a sale on Ebay a few weeks back and the price dropped 20% off. It was too good to pass up. Turbo Smasher Punch! Giganto Missile! Reito Beam! I can't recall at the moment exactly which variation of Aoshima's Mazinkaiser figure started having horns that could move to replicate the Reito Beam attack (earlier versions didn't have this IIRC). But Aoshima's been using it with their succeeding releases ever since. Fire Blaster! Kaiser Blade! Koji Kabuto figure Man this figure really has trouble standing, I wish they included a stand or those clear PVC blocks we often see with Gashapon figures for it. Mazinkaiser weighs 704 Grams and 821 Grams with the Scrander equipped. Diecast parts all over except for the head, hands and the Scrander wings ("backpack" is diecast). Well, there we have it, it's a straight up reissue with Anime accurate colors. It's too bad it's limited to 500 units. The mass release version is pretty decent too and it's good to see Aoshima still kicking around even if it's just reissues of their earlier stuff. Now back to continuing to hope they will release a Shin Getter 3 someday. Before I close, I just want to give a quick shout out to Toys Guardian, the figure I received was oddly missing a piece in it's forearm. After an email to them, they quickly shipped out a replacement arm the next day. I was honestly preparing myself to have to go through the ringer and write to Aoshima and everything. Glad that didn't happen. Pretty great service from Toys Guardian. Gold

Great review. I wish I had gotten that color instead or the regular one.

I still want the regular one! I'll even trade in my Max Factory Kaiser for it if I have to!

Although I managed to install the fire blasters on my Soul of Chogokin GX-75 Mazinkaiser's chest, using epoxy, and I am satisfied with the figure now... I believe for the sake of OAV accuracy I am going to get this SG-14! 🤔 Any idea where may I find one for a good price, please?

Still looking for a day to use the plates I have from ninja. But I will buy the metal pins and made something in his chest to grab the pins. I was contemplating to replicate the idea of rubber pieces like gx01to hold the breast plates. Because of the odd ball joint cavity there did you secure the plates for good with epoxy? Do they move or they are fix?

This is pretty much the standard going rate for this Mazinkaiser now. Been seeing it for 10,000-12,000yen for the longest time. Aoshima gokins were cool for their time but their proportions look outdated by today's standards IMO. Still you get your money's worth in diecast.

As cool as they were, the Aoshima Kaiser didn't age very well. Sort of stuck in the 'not quite vintage' and 'not quite modern' territory. I still kept most of their Getters and the Arcadia, but I gave my Kaiser away when the Riobot took his spot on my shelf.

True these are dated designs but there honest high diecast content figures that are super cheap compared to what's out there. If you've never owned an Aoshima figure before and pick one up the heft will surprise and delight you. I did notice that the new re-issue does not mention the Kaiser Scrander, maybe it doesn't come with it.

Seems to be even cheaper now, but no Scrander?

It's cheap sub 100$ for this figure. But if there is no Scrander....
I wonder why a sale in preorder already?
