It looks great. Finally SRC is getting its due! Giant Robo at May and Jeeeeg at August.....whats coming on November?
The short arms which i also at first thought was odd, actually is screen accurate. SRC Jeeg is very close to the source. He looks like also has a chest hinges akin to latest ET Jeeg
Looks like my favorite sculptor won out again. If anyone knows his name by chance let us know. He is indeed a master. Unlike many in the industry, this sensei has Great eye for proportion and has respect for the original creators.

Why do the forearms and shoulder areas look so bad in that first picture?

hmmm about the arms i think its just a bad angle, also since the SRC Mazinkaiser SKL FC promo photos i dont care much for them here is a photo for comparison however i never bought an SRC or an SOC that disappointed me so i guess this figure will be awesome still i want to see the next SOC

The knee joints look pretty bad. Still look forward to it though.

I wonder which joints will be ratcheted.. it doesn't look bad though, proportions are ok and I like the overall look. Waiting for POs to open

looks like both knees and elbows would be ratcheted seems like the ratchets are inside the silver ball joint areas.

I just hope it has the crossover joint. a lot of SRC's come out that I wish had it so it could spur on my creativity.

Isn't it kind of expensive for an SRC? Almost 10k.. wow.
Are they going to load it with accessories? Is Pantheroid included in the package? Cause I can't imagine a reason for a small Jeeg + mach drills to cost like an SoC..

yes... around SKL price range.. but Jeeg is supposed to be smaller than SKL. unless Jeeg is as big as him.. which is not quite right.

SRC's have been creeping up in price but just look at the Robot Sprit Sirbine above it, all plastic and it's over 8,000YEN. Plus I haven't seen a NEW SOC for around 9,500YEN since the Tobikage figures over 5 years ago (the 40th Anniversay Maz and Aphrodite don't count since they've long gotten their money back on those molds). This hobby just get's more expensive every year.

Normal SRC is gonna cost us like ¥15000 soon. This is ridiculous.

that about $85 i recently got the GX-54 Sealed new for like $92 so how come this cost almost the same why they are asking this much for it, from the photos i can see couple of hands and mach drills + the figure, so how come it cost this much, also since the figure is not a limited edition i really cant justify the price Bandai is getting ridiculously greedy they are pushing new collectors away like this
