well since this thread is sleeping i thought this will help wake it up box art look awesome package i like the sword i like the design in general but the last photo make me nervous, because according to Tom the black version will be silver not chrome also i dont see the effect parts like the breast fire and rocket punch i emailed HL Pro long time ago asking them about it but they didn't reply yet i just want to know what im buying if its chrome i will go to the blue limbs version and it will be much nicer if they include the effect parts

you are showing two different versions .. the blue and silver is the normal release.. the one in the box is the limited black/chrome release. The black/silver release is not pictured here.. that will be a few weeks later probably, just like with Gattiger.
I don't know anything about the effects parts that were shown in early prototypes. There is a possibility that they were unhappy with them and deleted them from the kits to keep retail price down. I don't see room in the packaging for them so I think it is safe to assume that the effects were abandoned, but there is a chance that there is a place for them on the other side of the Styrofoam box... but I wouldn't count on them.

black and silver black and chrome (limited ) blue and silver I think that photo is pre-production model (Black and white I think was cancelled for now but I am not 100 percent positive) the blue and silver version is here shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.688859/it.A/id.320/.fblack and chrome limited, you can contact HLPro directly I think black and silver, also ask Hlpro by email or facebook

I'm lost.. how many versions.. 3? is there a black ver. without the chrome? and from where I can preorder one with a good price please? so far we saw 2 out of the 3, according to Gettershadow there is 2 black versions 1 with silver and 1 with chrome (i hope he is right tho) because till now HL Pro didn't reply back to my questions about it for me personally chrome is killing the figure (in a bad way) heres where i pre order mine www.lacitedesnuages.be/boutique_us/fiche_produit.cfm?ref=PRE-HDRMT06-01&type=131&code_lg=lg_us&num=16#.VXnTdlLLIrcthanks to goldorak for providing the link

Hi guys, I had some video chat and discovered Z Mazinger model. HLPRO push better things and I can say I was really impressed. A ball-cap has been added to the hands/fists to make it easier to pop in and out very clever. The issues about broken peg was due to factory few mistakes about snaping the hands before drying. Same case with my Gin Gin head -> HLPRO sent me AN HALF GINGIN UPPER BODY ! Back to Z MAZINGER : The quality is very good with good poseability, backpack-wing is well designed. Scranders are 2 in box : one with jointed wings to have the landing in head gimmick, other scrander comes with open wings, but with flexible material to permit to bend and land in head too. Paint on it is strong and follow the bending very well. I also discovered the Gold Condor : outch ! Perfecto desu ! I am not following that kind of line but it is perfect ! Landing gear/feet are part forming and articulation of wings, neck, etc are really nice.
The talks I got with HLpro were very nice and they seems to push a lot in toy design and enginnering... This sounds like good news for us. Even it's not scaling (but close) with SOCs, it's a way to get suepr robots with lots of diecast. (EVOLUTION TOYS, DO YOU READ OUR BOARDS ?)

Lejamawesome news man glad to hear about the golden condor i have a question about Z Mazinger tho , what about the cool effects part we saw earlier on the prototype are they officially canceling it ? it was so cool honestly it sad if they wont include it, personally i don't mind paying an extra $10 -$15 for it

I was under the impression that it was deleted but I could be wrong. I did not ask super specific questions about the effects lately. From talking to HLpro and understanding the mindset, if they felt that the end product of the effects would not be on par with industry competition, they would make the wise decision to delete the effects feature...

Just got a review of the finish, the joints, the accessories we can see on the styro picture below... Paint apps look very well managed with good QC.

So where's the cheapest PO in the US? I'm interested in Blue/Gray and Black/Gray.
Amiami has both but I don't know what shipping will set me back.
