The figure does look excellent and I love your pics. Thanks! I took a few more tonight hope you guys don't mind me spamming the thread. I wanted to compare the ET Tetsujin with the DX SOC Mazingers. The tip of Tetsujin's mohawk is about at the same height as the tip of Great Maz's head. They look like they're from the same line. Just when Tetsujin is celebrating that he belongs with the big boys Out came the ultimate judge, the cold hard truth But still I really like this dude and what he brings to the table and i'm putting my foot down (or up) Off topic question but how are the DX Mazinger/great in terms of build and quality? Is it worth finding one?

The DX mazingers are great and worth every penny of the MSRP. But prices of the DX Maz and pilder are stupid high now. There were talks of reissues awhile back but haven't heard since.
I wish I have space to display the hangars that came with the DX SOC Mazingers. That's one of the best accessories ever with spotlights and catwalks. The bots themselves were well built and slapping on the panels were extremely satisfying. There are a few minor gripes (forearms of Maz are notoriously difficult to connect, and the front half of the head comes off easily), but overall much better than the ET Tetsujin in terms of build, heft, paint, and mold. However, from a visual only point of view, the ET one does very well as you can see from the pics. Articulation of the DX SOCs are not impressive but the joints are well engineered and sturdy.

the DX Mazinger was and STILL is a statement, its the biggest brooch on Bandai chest and its what gave them their legendary status today
even those who are not huge fans of Mazinger z got it because its simply amazing , it introduced people to the chogokin lines that Bandai have
build quality ? the DX line is BEST line in Bandai armory so the quality is beyond anything you handle before, most of the armor parts are metal
worth finding ? HELL YES but it will cost you ALOT
it was very reasonable when it was released specially for what you are getting, i guess it was less than 40k yen but shipping was a killer (mine cost about $400 in total) best $400 i ever spent on a figure
that will give you an idea why i find it stupid when a company ask this price tag for something that doesn't worth half of that
if you can i highly recommend getting it, if you felt the price is alot, watch an unboxing video and you will feel something else lol

I got DX Great paid 500 shipped AND the quality is FLAWLESS...
No bad QC, no "quarks" no bullsh*t! Absolute quality. Very sturdy so its playable like a real toy, no need to baby it.
If you find one at a decent price, please get one.
