mine just arrived hopefully i will get it today if i have time i hope this wont be a disappointment dont think you will be disappointed, its still a decent piece afterall, only thing i felt is the promo pictures seems to show one with a nicer tone. Edit: i was looking at mine which was already placed in the display cabinet along with the src skl (cape version) this afternoon, and possibly due to lower light conditions, the metallic colours on the chest plate seems to stand out more.

just unpacked mine, its not a disappointment but honestly it could be more better than this, the colors are very dark and the scar on his face are hardly visible (which is the main reason why i bought it) best version is the V2 this one is for hardcore fans, i will post some photos later

Hello Gang here is my Review for SKL Final Count Version lets start big as you can see the paint is almost like the first SKL its only a shade darker for the gray color and much darker for the yellow a comparison between the cape version and the final count version in my opinion i like the cape version more it pop out more on the right is the final count version and on the left is the cape version sword the final count version sword looks really good and color is decent even tho its not accurate the sword can be attached on SKL back by using this attachment, but by careful its really hard to pull out from his back and you might get hurt by the spikes on the sword the Wingle can be attached on the cape version but it wont attached securely however the cape cant be attached in the final count version at all (EDIT) the cape can be attached on the final count version you need to force it in and be careful when you take it off (do it on your own risk) Bandai have this new joint system in most recent SRC releases and honestly im not a big fan of it because sometime the round thing is on a different position than the other one giving it a weird look even tho it gives you an amazing articulation the scar on SKL face is hardly there due the over using of the dark paint (im really disappointed because of this) articulation 5/5 quality of materials 5/5 paint 5/5 anime accuracy 3/5 accessories 2.5/5 size & dimension 4/5 weight 3.5/5 Playability 5/5 personal notes the figure is good its just like the cape version, but you really dont need it unless you are a hardcore fan, since you can put the SRC Mazinkaiser Kaiser Scrander on the caper version or even SRC Shin Getter 1 wings, they only two things this figure offer is the Wingle and the damage face the sword holding hand on my unit do not have a good grip also its really annoying that they didnt make the scar on his face clear even tho this figure just got release i couldn't use the rocket punch effect from the optional dynamic parts set, the hands kept falling and when you use the normal rocket punch effect it became like you put a 10 inch rims on a huge SUV after all that time i honestly don't regret getting the first limited SKL lastly i hope you like this review and i leave you with this photo

Cool review. I got mine today. I had to wait until the kids went to bed to be able to open this. I like it alot. The instructions - have so many warnings about things being Fragile. Don't loose that chest part! Did that last release have so many warnings? I hardly ever look at instructions. Anyway I like it and I'm glad to own it.

the Wingle can be attached on the cape version but it wont attached securely how ever the cape cant be attached in the final count version at all This clearly shows that Bandai could have included the Wingle wing accessory altogether with the previous caped version SKL. But deliberately not choose to do so.. and decided to get more out of our hard-earned money hehe.. Nice inputs btw S-G

BTW.. by comparison.. that wing definitely looks better with silver caped version.

bandai is really milking us lately with selling a whole repaint figure to add one new piece: skl and wings, maz with iron cutter.... at least with the grendy they sold the set and a spazer separately. they are seeming to be moving in the wrong direction.

Those who are having problems attaching the wings to the silver version or the cape to the final count version are just doing it wrong. Both accessories fit perfectly fine on either of the figures. They are not loose or anything else at all.

Both accessories fit perfectly fine on either of the figures. They are not loose or anything else at all. you can force it BUT it you will risk breaking it when you pull it out, so i didnt force it also the shape of the joint on the back is kinda not the same

Thats what i mean...how hard is it for Bandai to toss a resculpted face in there as an accessory? They did it with SRC Shin repaint when they threw in Energer or Garadas damaged head...come on Bandai
Yes it includes iron cutter but i want a resculpt head...the head in your original SRC Mazinger promo photos. You know what im talking about Bandai

I did not force anything. Everything fits perfectly fine and is interchageable on both Mazinkaisers if put on CORRECTLY. Unless yours is defective. If you dont believe what I say, just search google for pictures.

If you dont believe what I say, just search google for pictures. why you are taking it aggressively man ? we are talking about our experience and feedback regarding those figures not religion both of mine are not defective, if you look at the peg of the cape version and the peg of the Wingle you will see they are not the same even the slot in back of the figures are not %100 identical, i tried to put the cape on the final count ver and the pig got scratched before i even finish attaching it im sure every collector dont want that scenario to happen with the Wingle im %100 sure it cant be attached (securely) on the cape version, when you attache it you will see that the peg is not fully inside his back, therefor it will fall off when you change the pose or even move it slightly this is the result i came up with

I just dont like false rumors being spread. The two figures are the same mold with the only difference being the color and resculpted damage head. You keep affirming they are different when they are not. It is possible you have a defective peg hole in yours. These figures are produced in mass and small defects happen sometimes. But dont post things that aren't correct and may make people nervous about the figure.

I didn't buy the final count version so I can't do this comparison. Sometimes seeing is believing. If photo evidence is not enough make a video.

Photo would help. When in doubt buy it....and youll know for sure. Ill have both toys when this guy arrives. Ill test it too.
I myself had to find out the hard way Kids Logic Megatron i just got didnt have any metal, when in fact a very famous video reviewer time and time again mentioned that it indeed had metal everywhere...google and hit the review with the most views and youll know who im talking about.... Trust me, it has no diecast....what i experience with my own copy is real and a fact. I'm Not a factory Quality Controler so i dont test thousands of the product to tell anyone whats just one defect or a design flaw. Having said that, Most of what it says on blog is personal views on one copy is his opinion anyways. It is NOT necessarily a fact. Whos to know? But We are all just trying to help one another based on experience on one copy of toy we got.
So please refrain from digging into or accusing fellow collectors. Now criticizing companies a whole another story. I encourage people to do it. Don't coddle or defend them especially when the issue is real.

well at least was painted more to be anime accurate which is a plus. the downside is you still need to get both Skl ver.2 and ver.3 to complete a set because of the separated accessories
i agree, before everyone starts pointing fingers who is wrong or right, i would like to see pictures of the back of both KaiserSKL's peg holes as well the pegs themselves. If the SKLver.2 is capable to have the wings attach to it then its SKLver.3 should just as well in theory be able to attach the cape to it and tbh i really see no real reason for bandai to just make a new back mold for this guy just to change the peg system. However to clarify this and confirm it we need pics to be sure.
on another the only thing this 2 KaiserSKL are missing to be completed is the bike with the melee weapons and the SKL Tomahawk.
