The internals of this one is more colorful than the DX Mazinger. They also did not include the cranes and truck. :-) The hangar looks identical to the one from the DX Mazinger-Z set, so you can share the cranes between Grt Maz and Z. I've added two small diecast Matchbox helicopters to my DX Maz set: one is red to resemble the Fire Department or Rescue Squad; and the other copter is yellow to match the cranes. I'll add some fuel tank trucks and flatbed hauler trucks to my set as well. I've got some observation platforms, elevators, and decks in the design stages, to match the decks in the Maz vs Ankoku Daishogun OVA. And then a large open hangar bay diorama for my DX Maz and MA-01 Dairugger.... my plastic materials are piling up now. lol zozo-mag

GX-01 Mazinger Z GX-02 Great Mazinger GX-03 is ................ Why you expect next DX is Grendizer ? Well, a combiner that at a DX size that doesn't combine would be almost like an SRC, but bigger and way more expensive. Yeah, it will show the cool inside details, but I highly doubt Bandai will even try to make it a full combiner. Maybe... But that aside, Grendizer is way more popular than Combattler and Voltes combined. Plus, it would complete the classic trio of Nagai Super Robots. }D Ummm. I don't think so Maz. Combiner with inner frameLook at MG S and EX-S Gundam from 2002-2003 www.dalong.net/review/mg/m55/m55_p.htmwww.dalong.net/review/mg/m60/m60_p.htmTheir inner frame are not perfect but their transformation are more complex than Combattler V. Then look at MG Rezel from 2010 www.dalong.net/review/mg/m138/m138_p.htmHe is not a combiner but he has complex transformation esp. his body part. And his inner frame is perfect. If they step up from 20 cm. MG size to 30+ cm. DX SOC size. with 2015 technology and add Dicast to avoid fragile part. It's not impossible to make DX combine Combattler V. Only difficult if they want to make 100% accurate inner frame from the old design. Price
If they release Grendizer people will ask him taller than Great. With that size and all 4 Spazers how much he cost ? If they release Combattler V ,Bandai can simply ignore scale and make him the same size as Great Mazinger (Which better scale to SOC Daimos) He'll cost cheaper than full set Grendizer. PopularityI see Combattler V appear in most SRW game, much more than Grendizer. I don't think Grendizer > Combattler + Voltes.

Thinking about it a bit more, I think one of the reasons the SRPs for DXs is so high is because of the Hangar, maybe? Size + weight factors into shipping costs. They could save us collectors about $60-80 right there if they didn't include the hangars I think. It's cool and all but I think having just Maz have it should've been enough, seeing as he's the first in the line. If they want longevity for this line they should just roll out releases as is, no more hangars. It's not like we're buying it for the hangars anyways. Gold

If they want longevity for this line they should just roll out releases as is, no more hangars. It's not like we're buying it for the hangars anyways. Gold Perhaps we could do without the hangars, to some degree... but that would mean storing the accessories back inside their boxes and put aside just to have the main figure on display....... when a visitor comes to see the DX in your collection, ya gotta go back to them shipping boxes to dig out the accessories and effects controls to fully demonstrate the DX in all its full gear, to make the impression of the figure complete to the visitor. I can't show off my farm to visitors if my goats and cattle are stashed in the garage, cos then I'd just have an ordinary house in the field ( and a bunch of dead goats and cattle crammed like sardines inside my garage. lol) Exhibit-wise: it would appear as "just another action figure" on a shelf without (or lacking) any visual dynamics that would compliment the seriousness of this collectors' grade specimen. I don't know how else to explain it... The hangars provide storage for all or most of the accessories. Having them mounted inside the hangar beside the figure adds realism to the visual impression of a mechanical robot that exists inside a maintenance hangar, and the cranes add to that illusion of a heroic robot undergoing the same breakdowns and maintenance as any heavy-artillery mechanical machine out here in real life. By providing the hangar along with the DX, the media is simulating that realism on a smaller desktop scale. And, ya gotta admit, other toy robot figures and model kits such as the Gundams and Pacific Rim figures look so good inside that hangar. lol I've often had my DX Maz figure displayed alone on a separate shelf fully armored, and the feeling was just that of a large typical action figure on my self for decoration... it became too common to get my attention every day I come home from work... But when I display my DX Maz with the full works, hangar and all that came with it, I'd walk into my room and always see something new about it... I'd change parts and armors, pose him up a bit for fun, place other small vehicles inside the hangar... that whole setup keeps me Busy, I mean BUSY, so busy my mind races with thoughts envisioning Maz on his adventures. Once I'm playing with it I can't put it down for a New York minute! lol And when visitors look at my DX Maz, I get to demonstrate all of its features right there instead of going into my closet to dig out the rest of its accessories and armor parts... ...time is of the essence, therefore I wanna impress my visitors with the DX Maz full set in as quick time as possible so them folks will have a lasting impression of the fine craftsmanship, design, and functionality of the DX in hopes of recruiting them into our Robot-Japan militia. With the DX at hand we (Robot-Japan) are out to conquer the world, baby! zozo-mag

Another comparison photo I made, I'd love to see a standard SOC of Great with proportions like that; say GX-70 or whatever. Something solid and fun that looks that good would be amazing.

i remember she is a singer but i forget her name She's a gravure idol / singer / actress. But that aside, Grendizer is way more popular than Combattler and Voltes combined. I seriously doubt Grendizer is more popular than Com-Battler V in Japan. I found Com-Battler V merchandise (t-shirts, stickers, books, etc) to be more expensive. yea man i know but i just forget her name no wonder the cam man focused on her more than the figure i cant blame him tho lol and i think that too Combattler is more popular than Grenidzer, when Banadai start the SOC line Combattler v was number 3, 6 months before Grendizer and they did an R version of him while Grendizer still GX-04 no R or anniversary version but i really wish the next DX is Grendizer to complete the trio and to have a really decent classic looking Grendizer @baron WEIRWULF my bad man i thought you mean you have a problem with the belt is closed, you are right its not as tight but you can fix that if you support the Scrander with the stand it came with i did that and had no problems even with the belt is wide open and Shin Great Mazinger didn't appear in the Mazinkaiser movie or the ova that Great Mazinger you are talking about was build by professor Yumi and his condor wasnt all the way in Shin Great Mazinger appeared in the Shin Mazinger anime for a seconds and his brain condor wasnt very clear but i guess the brain condor supposed to look like that

That is how I pose mine with stand! Glad you agree.The great I mean was the one with wider helmet crest they make a model of it that comes with the Mazinger I own them They are in the mazinkaiser film whether he's called shin great or not he is different in appearance especially his helmet so I call him shin not sure bugle is a different great in appearance

You guys are surely joking when you say Combattler is more popular than Grendizer worldwide, right? Otherwise, you need more reading to do. }D

Of course, and they will include the collapsed Scramble Dash in there as well. Sneaky Bandai!

S_Gokin, none of you ever wrote "in Japan" in your previous posts about Grendizer vs Combattler popularity, so the default would be worldwide comparison - which Combattler lost by a humongous margin.. }D
