That's a new head on Mazinger, no? Maybe it's just the lighting but it looks like it has some kind of arched, demonic eyebrow thing going on.

And they do new versions (recolors, with or without new accessories) instead of simply doing a second production run, like Bandai does all the time. Except for the first Black Getter - the very first EX Gokin -, I don't remember any of them being sold as limited editions. They could just do straight reissues of most. I think the second and third releases of Juhomaru are the closest thing to a straight reissue they ever did (in that line). exactly they are almost identical just couple of different shades here and there and a bit better joints thats it, most of us want them to do other characters from the show or at least give it a metallic paint instead of matte from what i understand they will do a 3rd repaint version of the old releases i will hold on buying anything from them atm I completely forgot the Final Battle (damaged) Getter 1. It seems to be a straight rerelease of the original, with extra accessories. That red black Shin Getter 1 repaint is close, So Juhomaru and Getter 1 would be the exeptions.

That red black Shin Getter 1 repaint is close, So Juhomaru and Getter 1 would be the exeptions. the Final Battle ver is also a repainted version not a straight reissue What are the differences? They must be very minimal. I have my original Getter 1 on display near my desk and, going back and forth between the figure and pics of the Final Battle version, I could not spot any. (I'm not talking about the extra accessories here. Just the base, undamaged figure.) PS : A pic from the Wonder Festival 2014, with only three Getter 1 on display.

they are minimal indeed just the paint is a shade brighter and colors are more vivid look here of course it will be much clearer in person but you can see how the red is darker while the white, green & orange are brighter i have the repaint version & i was planing to get Getter 2 and 3 but their prices sky rocketed, hope they will do a repaint but not any time soon lol

But did you see the two next to each others? Or at least in the same photoshoot? Very different lighting (and post-production work?) on these two shots. I'm looking at my original Getter 1 right now and I swear it looks more like the picture on the left than the one on the right. The red looks almost orange on the right. Mine may not be as rich as the left pic - which looks heavy on contrast and saturation - but it's not orange either.
If the differences are that minimal, I'd call that a color shift between production runs more than a real repaint.
Anyway, the point was that Fewture usually - or always, depending on how you see it - choose to go for repaints instead of doing straight rerelease. So, go Fewture! (Or Boo! Fewture! Depending on how you see that.)

honestly i didnt saw them together, but i recall sometime back a member post a set of photos for this guy collection he had all of the EX gokins including repaints and i remember there was a different, but like you said it could be lighting or i could be wrong lol
also its true Fewture is acting weired lately specially with the latest Juohmaru release if you look at both in your hand you see some improvement but in an online photo they are the same !
i like their work honestly its just i dont like spamming the same sculpt with different colors lol

Was really hoping for something new from Fewture....not another damn repaint!!! Admittedly the chrome look bad ass on it.......but still!! I mean we already got a gold repaint version of a figure that isn't even out!!!
Come on artstorm.....put some effort in it!! Those long forgotten 4 Machine Blasters would be a good start.

i guess they become like Bandai with repaints after they saw how insane the prices are for thier odder releases, thats a money they can make EASY, and now they are going to milk Mazinger Z too lol
think about it as a fund for new projects

Oh well. I'll probably end up getting the Energet repaint. Already own the original Maz and the 40th Ann repaint.
Last I heard of those Mchine Blasters they had licensing problems. And that was a few years back. I hope they haven't given up on them.
