and a better head sculpt. let the DX Great Mazinger sculptor do it! in fact, his manager should oversee all the chogokin projects.
please observe src mazingers actual toy head and his promotional photo shot head are completely different. The promotional photo head is far superior to actual toy head...hate Bandai for false advertising.

The ones I found look the same to me. }D

At certain angles I see where it looks like the legs are different from the arms but in other photos they look the same. This could be the effect of the extra clear layer applied on metalic paint applications (kinda like Clearcoat on a car, I guess) that Bandai claims they did for this edition.

Soon ill have it up..real backed up with reviews. The finish feels rough like coated iron which is probable the feel they were going for...almost like the finish on some cars valve covers. man this look so amazing i dont do repaints but im really thinking about getting this one i need a review and a comparison with the first version to trick my mind

^Chachi, seeing that you borrow your wife's pot on occasion (see Gattaiger's review), perhaps the finish can be likened to a cast iron pot. :-)

chachipower it looks really nice in that rough metal touchup... ...I'm wondering if this figure was painted that way as a tribute to the reference " Castle Of Iron" as we've heard in episode 1 of the Mazinkaiser OVA. zozo-mag

Here goes: another shot of the front cover tray layout, no surprises here close-up look of the kurogane mazinger The hover pilder is extremely fragile, so do handle with care. Pretty disappointed that the hover pilder did not fit into mazinger's head nicely. Don't have this problem with previous mazingers though. The kurogane mazinger is exactly the same as regular mazingers or as far as I can see. so its essentially another repaint.
