remember what I said in my video.. it says "pre orders july" but I would think more like august ... funny detail about the blue one.. Japanese pre-orders on the blue one have been about 2 to 1 vs the black one.. USA and Europe ratio is the exact opposite.

Thanks for the link! Do you order from there often? Gattiger shipped to USA is only $152, and it looks like the cheapest among the rest of the stores

I think that black and silver version is going to look real good next to Bandai Mazingers... but Im really thinking more about the blue one.. I bet that would look real sweet next to Gatt and Gin Gin..

its hard to guess which color is the most anime accurate but i think this picture will help also i have found couple of old pictures drawing by Go Nagai for Z Mazinger showing that he have a black limbs there's is about three version of him although im not sure about the one in the middle i guess its a matter of the personal taste

the white is just meant to have the ability to look good when grouped with "manga" colored robots... it would look good if it was grouped with the right kind of figures.

I like all 3 actually,but for me closest to the cover is black limbs silver body ofcourse.But we wont get into all that again lol.Im sure there are gonna be people who just HAVE to have it look liek Mazinger and get blue limbs,this is NOT Mazinger though.blue limbs are cool in a repaint sense though. There are minor details that are actually not totally correct like the sword but thats ok.The sword can be seen in Shin mazinger used by Zeus it has red hilts and open hole in blade,but not a big deal easily fixed at home if you want.They just went with the model version of Z-Mazinger sword which looks like the HLPro sword but thats cool.

yeah "hole in the blade" is asking for trouble from a production stand point though... is there a hole in the blade of the manga version? I don't see one.

I don't see a hole in the manga Zmaz though. They said the figure was just based on the manga drawings not the newer reboot. The box art kinda looks like it was though. I don't know much about that manga or the show. (if memory serves doesn't zmaz show up in a anime somewhere?) I think I asked them about that a long time ago... the Manga Zmaz doesn't have a hole in his sword.. just to dished cut outs on the side.. the one with the hole was made later by another company

I hope not cuz that is wierd Do u own the books? You can't base it on just the cover

Ahh no, don't look at me guys I've decided looong time ago that I wouldn't buy any other Mazinger manga apart from the ones that I currently own. If I got Z mazinger, I'd have to fetch Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and Grendizer (drawn by Nagai), God Mazinger, Mazinsaga, Mazinger Angels and Mazinger Angels Z as well. And maybe I even missed a title or two in there.. I could peep though, if I find it in a comic store. So, the hole is the blade near the hilt, right? Ok, I'll look for it.

I bet that hole isn't there.. I bet its just a solid sword. If its solid, Baron owes me a Mazinger DX.

i cannot express how much I HATE white limbs. Honestly I feel it all depends on the rest of the robot. I think Raideen normally looks better with white limbs than the chrome he often gets. But Any flavor of Mazinger with white limbs? Bleach!
