The feet are on correct, as they slope right down to the "toe" and that slope is facing the camera. You buzzed, bruh? zozo-mag

Awesome! Don't forget the ones on the feet! BTW, where did you get the round studs? I can't find them anywhere! }D I'll get you a website today for the rhinestuds. You will most likely need 2,3,4mm studs. Either 7,8 or 9mm for the back and 5mm for the shackles at the bottom of the legs if you like them big. I will most likely not add Rhinestuds to the feet. I know he has 3 on each feet but I just don't like the look. Still on the fence on that one.

Dude I may be wrong but are Mazingers feet on backwards?probly just an illusion. It's just the angle. The feet are as they were when I got the figure. You never take the feet apart with this project.

Cant wait to see other kits by you brother! Well, I have a SRC Boss Borot kit at 40% now and I'm gonna do a Gekkigangar after that. But it all depends on the sales of this kit. No point in making kits if people don't buy them right? I went with this kit because of it easeness to complete and popularity to test the market. If this kit flunks I don't see the point of making more.

Yes but different characters sell more,Gekiganger is sure fire sale..Id wager it sold even more than the ashura..so dont base sales on one kit,Im going to buy all of them!..Also I had a brainfart for a minute and thought you may have repainted the legs from blue to black then I remembered its gX-07{removed to paint}

I agree with Baron there. Not a lot of people will be willing to sacrifice a GX-07, or any SOC to make a custom. But if you sell kits of 100% complete characters, that would be a different story. Just like the Transformers you sell. They sell like hot cakes! }D

There's a Mechanic Collection "double Mazinger" model kit which features Mazinger-Z and Great Mazinger from the Mazinkaiser 6-episode OVA (2000). The Mazinger-Z model closely resembles the one in the OVA...
...perhaps you could duplicate the body parts from that Maz kit, modify the parts with these Ash-Maz add-ons, recast them in a mold, and create an integral Ashura-Mazinger figure from scratch?

Bro, that would be more expensive and time consuming than just buying and using a GX-07!!! }D

Nothing!
The whole thing was designed so you can make it with the need of no power tools or expensive equipment. The hardest thing to do is paint a styrene rod, chop it and glue it to the head to resemble the spider legs and rolling some putty to do the spider leg tips. All else is just a matter of basic painting and rhinestud glueing. Anyone can pull of this custom. Even those with little or no experience customizing. The material list is very small too. Glue, rhindstuds, spray paint, sand paper, masking tape, xacto blade and styrene rods. Thats it! I will try to finish it this weekend.
I still need to get you that address TMZ. I keep forgeting. My bad!

But when I have one built and three others either in mid-process or barely started, I fall into the danger zone of burning out and not finishing the projects. I'll paint that Maz for ya. My regular MC Maz is craving to fight a rival counterpart. zozo-mag
