The art would actually be more enticing to me than the weapons themselves. LOL. I was thinking of that as well.

Im going to put the $100 i saved and put it towards inevitable SOC Albegas.
If Bandai was smart, it would have made that display "Mazinger Jumbo" a full colored and a diecast figure(that would havr been epic)...but NOPE!!
Id would have bought the set with added cost of added color and the price of zinc used.( what around $30 more?)

Yeah. It was disappointing to hold it since it’s plastic and legs don’t move. I guess I was hoping for a GA-01 style figure.

I just bought GX-XX01 for $62. So glad I didn't pay around $100 for this.

Guess what came in the mail?! Mini Jumbo Mazinger Z, in color! Was shopping for POSE+ Goshogun at Robotoybase a few weeks ago, and saw that they have this unusual listing. The SOC Project XX Weapon Set, but with a painted Mazinger Z mini Jumbo instead of just all black. Turned out they are doing a custom paintjob for their listing, and with additional price of course, asking for $150 (they are selling the weapon set at $50, guess no one wants these). I never owned a Jumbo Mazinger Z, and don't really need a real one since they are so big. But the idea of having a mini version that works with my SOC collection intrigues me. Though Bandai went cheap and just left the mini Jumbo with bare black plastic. So I passed on this set. But now that with the custom paintjob, and I need to ship the Goshogun anyway, I decided to give it a shot. Tony at Robotoybase is nice enough to email me a pic to verify the paintjob before sending it out. Just opened it minutes ago, and the paintjob turned out pretty good. The body is overall very clean, especially on the head. But there are bound to have some imperfections, like the seam on the waist, some of the missiles accessories are a bit sloppy since they have white paint on dark grey plastic, and the paint on the missiles is pretty thin and scrape off easy. Since it is not factory paint, need to be more careful with the paint when handling it. But it looks good overall. So if there are folks like me that want this set with a colored mini Jumbo, this is a feasible option. robotoybase.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=5928Aside the mini Jumbo, this set got to have the best SOC booklet ever made. A recreation of a 70s super robot picture book we used to be able to buy as a little kid. Check out Gold's detail review for images of the booklet. It is much thicker than normal instruction booklet, with really really nice retro illustrations of our favorite Go Nagai team. Almost worth the entry price all by itself. Attachments:

Mpchi if you ready for roller coaster 🎢 that never stop...collect Jumbos. 😛 That’s pretty cool and tempting but I’ll stick with my original early 1970s Jumbo Mazinger Z. Once you touch and hold one you want more...you go crazy collecting them.

Bought this just for the box art and becoz its real cheap Where is the best deal on this shipped? Possibly Robotoybase, as they had the set for $49.90, and shipping to US only like $20 or so. But better double check other places as well. When I recently bought something from them, shipping took around 2 weeks for my stuff to get here. robotoybase.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=5911
