My Maz Z arrived to day. I think I'm in love. This is my new favorite Mazinger Z figure. All the moving panels and texture to him is great. I normally prefer the classic clean designs, but this figure makes the updated more detailed design really work. And without being too cluttered. I kind of like his size too. At 7" he is the perfect size to b*tch slap anything from the SH Monsterarts line. Like that mangy turtle that keeps looking at him funny. It always amazes me when Bandai gets on a roll and puts out two pieces as good as Mazinger Z Infinity and Gipsy Danger back to back. Both having this amazing amount of detail and motion. My only negative on this robot is his cost. $300 is way to high for him. (I got him for $220 off Mandarake, damaged box) If you are a Mazinger collector, this is the one you will regret not having. The one you will cry if it gets away.

Ichinanas? Is that another mecha in the movie? It looks like the unholy love child of a Mazinger Robot and a Gundam. It's probably from that slimy Mazinkaiser. That robot doesn't care who or what he gets busy with, and leaves others to clean up the mess.

i just finished my photoshot for this figure over all i really like it even tho my unit have a very very stiff joints, on the right side to be exact the left side is alright im also glad Bandai included alot of accessories and effect parts, the figure really come to life when you attach those, i had alot of fun with the dynamic posing the only thing i wish it was better is the head, sadly the head cant look up which is another WTF Bandai moment, like my friend greengetterguy said brain fart, which super weird because the figure have alot of awesome joints and hiding joints so why they didnt add extra joints in the head also the stand, i like the graphics on it, but its not solid i wish if they went with a design more like fewture stands, it can handle the figure weight and it can support any pose without been awkward at the end i highly recommend the figure it looks good and even better in person hopefully they will give us Great Mazinger and maybe maybe Grendizer in this style

That robot doesn't care who or what he gets busy with, and leaves others to clean up the mess. I immediately thought of the Grapearls from Gurren Lagann when I saw them, how they look like a "real robot" made from a super robot design. But I'm surprised Bandai hasn't announced any Mazingirl yet. No model, no figure, nothing. Girl robots that serve zero purpose in the story (other than eye-candy), with three easy in-canon repaint possibilities; it's like Bandai commissioned them.

Okay now that’s an extra special level of creepy.

I swear I saw a review video showing that it can! Now I have to go find! It can look up. Just not that far up. It can't do the 90 degree head tilt to flight mode. The neck is actually a little strange as it is on ball joints top and bottom, and the entire neck piece can spin out of alignment. So you need to play with it a little to get it straight and looking right.

Interesting. Not a deal breaker for me as I am not sure I would pose it that way. That pic looks pretty much fine to me. Damn fine

Damn fine because he took it from a low angle so the head looks fine but from another angle it will look like mazinger is looking down man most of those latest releases have design flaws here and there, bandai is losing their touch

Just got this. First metal build. Took it out of package. Bent the knee and the back knee panel detached and fell up into figure. Figured I would fix it later. Bent the other knee a lot more gently. The back knee panel disconnected and fell up into the figure. Any way to fix this? I’m already not impressed with this figure. Super articulated and super expensive figure, but don’t touch it or it will fall apart.

Last Night finally went to see the movie (it was the premiere here in argentina). NO SPOILERS. I loved it. I enjoyed it a lot, animation is great, fighting scenes are fast paced and really good. The story is ok and a very good opportunity to see mazinger using all his abilities to take down almost every single enemy we saw in the show. My inner child was very happy... I'm still awaiting for this figure otherwise it would have been a perfect night.
