Have a feeling its going to be shiny chrome. I am guessing the reason why it looked like black chrome from the first reveal pic is because it was displayed in a all black matt display case reflecting all the black around it. Black chrome does look much better than shiny chrome. Since its shiny in the official pics, it won't be too far from the real thing. that would be my guess.

I also have the 1st release and quite happy with them. Awesome as this Maz looks I'll pass on the Mazinger. The Energer is another story though ......never quite liked the white on the original version......I think this repaint will fit the original Mazinger versions more. So I'm seriously thinking of getting him. Was hoping NY would open pre-O but seems AE is the only stocking these.

Yup, the first release was a beaut! But mine's still untouch in its box, i displayed the repaint version and its still holding its pose well. I just preordered the current second chrome repaint maz. I skip the energer though.

I preordered these from BBTS but I'm probably going to cancel that and pay the money now at AE and say myself $100.

Whoa, $1000!!?? Tempting....hehe....cant be hoarding everything afterall. However, knowing fewture, they might even end up reissuing it, like what it did to the original getter 1 if secondary market prices are crazy.

lol yea Fewture Gokins prices are crazy, Grendizer Spazer now worth about the same price of the figure lol btw you know after looking hardly at the photos, i noticed something, look carefully at the center of the back that's a light bulb and its a very strong one, i used to use something like this in my photoshoots before i upgrade, this light bulb is making the figure extremely shiny that's why the chrome on the figure looks very shiny, if you look at the biceps the one on the far side (the figure left) look much darker than the close one, i also saw it on Energer photos, you can notice it even better in other poses, i guess the figure will be dark chrome as the one we saw first

Ah...ic....good eye! takes a pro to spot it but i am ok even with darker chrome. However, over time, i am not sure if it will oxidize (if thats the correct way to call it) ie chrome becoming blurry and loosing its lustre. Happened to my max factory mazinkaiser., not a pretty sight.

thanks bro, it helps when you are a photographer lol
the black chrome is the main reason why i might go for it, it gives the figure the a true beast looks specially the head
hmmmm interesting i just checked my Max Factory Mazinkaiser and its still holding, i got it new when it was released, the only figure im having a problem with its chrome is the GX-04S, the chrome parts becoming kinda like a rusty look, i kinda fixed it with some polisher but still not as solid as the chrome on the other SOCs also the white on the Spazers is becoming yellowish i dont know how to fix that tho lol

its fine i wonder why tho ? i thought it was just mine but couple of friends reported the same problems we are having anyways back to the topic www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/18720-ex-gokin-mazinger-1969-repaint-ver-limited-edition.htmlNY have it but don't get your hopes high because they are also asking money up front & not just for the figure but for the shipping as well, also they are asking more than Angloz & AE best deals so far are AE then Angloz

I know you guys who have been around for awhile hate repaints. However for guys like me that are just getting into the line, it's awesome. I just got Black Getter and Grendizer. Now I have repaints of Energer 1969, Mazinger 1969 and Shin Getter all on preorder.

i don't hate repaints for me its a chance for my wallet to breath lol, but you are right its a chance for those who missed the first release speaking of repaint i noticed that Fewture announced & released some of their most awesome and high demand figures 1969 Mazinger z, Shin Getter 1 and Juohmaru all have an insane asking price these days not to mention how rare they became i guess they are following Bandai steps for funding new projects by repaints lol, but to release all of the three close to eachother, i cant imagine how gorgeous the price for this guy will be

I preordered from BBTS but I can save at least $100 total if I just fork over the cash to AE.

Hello everyone, I need a little help for ordering EX-Gokin Mazinger Z. I'm about to place a pre-order from www.angolz.com, my question is: Do they have the option to "Pay-Later" and where can I find it? Thank You in advance.
