Hurrah! I finally got the book. I believe this is my fav so far. It only features SOCs!!! I do wish they have included the complete SPEC line too (they started as SOCs and I am a fan of the line). Questions: - Are we able to acquire/purchase the Mazinger Z Damaged Ver.? - The S.H. Figurarts Devilman is not part of the SOC line, right? I apologize if these questions have been asked and answered before.... Thank you

Thank you Devilman is part of the Figuarts line, I wish we could buy the damage parts for Mazinger Z but no they were just a special display piece.

I think the damaged Maz was a custom for display. Devilman is an SHFA offering, but he is part of the "DC" line. So he is a plastic action figure meant to go with the GX-70, as they form a scene from the movie of sorts.

I'm going to suggest a bit of caution. Don't read too much into that tag. The two ??'s say a lot. Bandai has often demo'd developmental prototypes that never see the light of day. At best you can almost guarantee that a damaged Maz would be a really small run web exclusive of some sort. Assuming it moves beyond the conceptual stages. You might be surprised, but actualconsumer demand for damaged toy robots with their arms already ripped off is lower than you might expect. Just ask NECA. I'm more surprised they didn't do a battle damage add on set for the DX.

Why is GX-33 Leopaldon & Spider Man not mentioned in this book. No text or photos. Weird.... Any explanation?

I think Bandai lost the license of spider man after the Disney bought marvel !! therefore they can't rerelease him or mention it !! even in this anniversary Book !!

chogokinabdul.... You may be right. GX-33 Leopaldon & Spider Man is on the front cover of the second SOC book! Strange omission, as if the toy never existed.

I don't think they need a separate license to publish pictures of a prior released product. Certainly not for an anniversary book like that. If they don't have the license they can't make new figure or market new materials, but something like that book? Even if it got into a grey area nobody would care. Not even Marvel. Documenting your prior licensed product catalog such as an Anniversary book would fall pretty cleanly under fair use. Worst case they might avoid any new photos of the Spider-Man figure. Plus even post Disney Marvel doesn't have an issue with Leoparden and Japanese Spider-Man. They actually used him in their recent Secret Wars event comics.

GX-33 is mentioned on page 144 (super tiny print). And so, Bandai acknowledges its existence

actionawesome.... Yeah, don't know why? The character has no photos in the latest book. So odd....
