Betcha online shops/auction-sites will soon get flooded with the older SKL at discounts from scalpers and hoarders trying to unload...

A thought occurs. Anyone know if this is the same original toy (apart from the cape of course), or if this is a entirely new, bigger mold? I remember the original SRC SKL being small. Almost only Grendizer sized. In light of the newer OVA Mazinkaiser model, if this is just a reissue of the first SKL, then it's going to look a bit awkward now. I don't have the original (Waited too long for the possible "winged version", the prices shot up too fast before I could backtrack) so I can't tell. Gold

I got two SKLs, and the colors of this one are not as anime accurate. The cape is nice, but it is not an accessory I really care for. I might get one, if it's not an exclusive. What I want is the wings and the Tomahawk. Maybe an accessory pack will be released later??? }D

Gold Think it's the same mould as the previous SKL, only light-silver now instead of gunmetal-silver on the limbs. Yeah. It's gonna be awkward if Bandai didn't upsize this new SKL with the regular Kaisers. Here's Charles' old review of Kaiser scaling with the SKL:

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the wings, maybe another accessory kit again if it goes well. Here's an old photo of the gang. Image courtesy of Silverdonz Gold

I cannot tell but it looks a bit like a different mold. Maybe more Mazinkaiser sized. Hope its regular release

in my opinion its different from the original release the color are not anime accurate but its beautiful the red is much brighter the blue eyes is much brighter and that silver also, but theres a difference in the skull design in his chest its way better sculpted than the original release, on the size i don't think they change his size but SKL deserve to be in the SOC line not SRC and for me the cape really awesome it give him more bad a$$ looks i might put the cape on the original one to get the most anime accurate SKL

Looks like the same mold just painted different which is fine I've wanted one for years but just didn't want to pay the super high secondary prices. Awesome news for me and I'm glad I waited.

I like this one better, it feels easy on my eyes and the colors look much brighter. To hell with 'anime accuracy' on this SKL, I like the sculpt and the colors on this one, it really pops at me! I'd like to have this with some degree of anime accuracy, but this SKL visually appeals to me as something that is not part of the regular crop. If every single figure in my collection were "anime accurate" my collection would be BORING as hell because nothing in it would reflect my personal taste, but just another typical mainstream collection display. That is just Not the way I do things. lol zozo-mag

Is there any word or confirmation as to what form of Release this item will become?
Will this be a Tamashii Web Exclusive like the first SKL? Or, will this be a normal retail/distributor release for markets overseas and here in the U.S.?
