Seems I got the last one from Amiami, but they'll most likely get more.
The articulated hsnds are shown in the pic that shows all the stuff it comes with. The two tiny Mazinger Blades are funny! I also noticed it comes with the extra display stand. Taking that into account, it is basically the same price as the DX Mazinger with the DX Scrander Set. Not too bad...

Yeah, it kind of takes the luster off of the OG, which is no longer a one-time unique item. This is still super cool (and outside my budget), but I feel a little sadness regarding seeing another in this line.

Right, this thing. Is both unexpected and awesome. But yeah, if they're doing Great Maz you can be sure that sooner or later Grendizer's gonna get the same treatment.

The internals of this one is more colorful than the DX Mazinger. They also did not include the cranes and truck. :-)

*Gulp* now that is what I call anime magic my my, they're so puny.. Mazinger Knives? In one universe, japanium / chogokin z has "memory metal" properties, making it similar to the Getter polymorphic alloy.

Something from the newer mangas maybe? I always assumed that pre-Reideen super robots (and even some that came after Reideen, like Groizer) didn't need to explain anything about "why did that thing change shape/size so drastically". And we're practically talking about Nagai-only super robots here, must be a personal trait of the Maestro. The Jet Scrander and Great Booster's wings changing orientation, the Scramble Dash's pop-out mechanism, Hiroshi assuming fetal position and transforming into a giant steel head, Groizer's metamorphosis from a gargantuan plane to a 100-meter colossus, Roboizer's "now square limbs, now round limbs" trick and, last but not least, Getter Robo and Robo G's transformation/combination sequences. And only the latter ones have been explained (polymorphic alloy used as contruction material) but we'e left guessing as to how the other robots on the list do the things that they do.

One thing to note though, I think with CD Japan, you pay up front...I am pretty sure I just got dinged $500USD in total for the item.
More splaining to do soon esp. with the Fewture Grendy arriving yesterday. If I do not return, please send for a search party.

They also did not include the cranes and truck. :-) the internal colors will be same in hand as Mazingers colors...the brightness is just Bandais advertising gimmick they started that with SRC Shin Getter Tryder and Daitarn reissue it's just for the wow factor IMO it's BS and dishonest

Com'on if you're from France, you have more reasons to buy this baby, because Bandai will surely do Goldorak if this one sells well Or they'll do it regardless of Great Maz sales.. after all, globally speaking, Grendizer is more famous than Great Mazinger. If they do Grendy, it'll probably sell even more than GM. But you know, some people say that Bandai does't really care about foreign customers. I think they do care, but just a little. So we'll most probably see Grendizer joining this line, it'll take some time though. Remember how long it took for Grendy to be made as an SRC?

Ok missed this so gotta post a lot. My observations. Why not make a better elbow attachment? Continuity with the Mazinger is only justification...also scrander better fit tighter than Mazingers with no belt for support !! Both my Mazinger scranders are not tight enough to stay on well without the belt so just adding my opinions....

thanks for the link man did you deal with them before ? and do they ask for an advance payment ? CDJ requires payment-advance only if you use Paypal. Otherwise, they charge you when the item is ready to ship. edit: here's their official policy: www.cdjapan.co.jp/guide/help/ordering/how_to_order

Bro, if Bandai Japan really cared about their foreign customers, a DX Grendizer would've been done right after Mazinger Z. We all know Grendizer has a huge fan base world wide, almost as big as Mazinger Z itself. Great Mazinger, well... not so much. }D

Maybe Bandai should release a Jumbo Machinder color variant of this...
