I almost ordered a second one. Got an email for the new Kotobukiya MegaMan X model kit. So I went over to Amiami and looked around, saw that the pre order page was up for Metal Build Eva, but orders weren’t allowed until later. Then I saw the Metal Build Great Mazinger, listed as in stock. I was tempered to order one but held off. That was last night. Just now, as I was scrolling through my email, I found a payment request for this. Looking back at my email history, I placed a pre order for this back in December. In any case, I’ll be getting this next week. I got the Mazinger Z back when eBay has that 20% off coupon. Funny that I used that coupon on amiami eBay store.

Looking forward to everyone's pics of this one. It's always nice when a good number of people get something to see multiple perspectives.

Review from Charles.
I still think Great is too small compared to Mazinger Z, should be at least half a head taller imo.

Review from Charles. I still think Great is too small compared to Mazinger Z, should be at least half a head taller imo. Absolutely, but I can make concessuons since it's obviously a same-frame retool.

Going by Charles review,(thank you) I'm having a mixed feeling about this piece...
Amazing sculpt, crazy awsome paint and very generous accessories are plus!
But the size... restrictive articulation and zero external metal is killing it for me.
Even Mazinger had a token metal on his fore arms and lower legs....Bandai MB team can do all these crazy stuff with hundreds of parts and thousands of hours pour on to this project yet they cant give him a decent neck joint to do a flying pose?..

Thanks guys for watching and sharing my review. If you watched it when it was first published, the HD version may not be ready yet. Took YouTube a few hours to have the HD version ready. You can see better details and clarity if you haven’t already watched it in HD.
On the build of the figure, yes it does feel a bit shortchanged when the weight is considerably light for a metal build figure. But if you already come to terms with the Mazinger Z figure then you can sort of overlook it.
The selling point for Great is more on the accessories and effect parts which I feel are awesome if you are into displaying your figures in diorama fashion. And I feel Bandai has given us a complete Great with the additional Great Booster wing that was mentioned in the anime but not featured.
And since the figure is not that popular by Metal Build standards, fans of Mazinger should have no problem securing a piece.
I don’t love Great 3000 but I can safely say I love it in the range of 9-600.
