clarify, when compared to a Similarly sized, similarly priced, with mayne similar features, i prefer this offering from KA. Why? (I'm not challenging you but simply asking for actual clarification because it's a pretty big statement of praise which is good to read and has my interest piqued on this item.)

I just like this God Mazinger better because it feels like im getting better value for my money. 1.Character. its a very rare chatacter that's done really really really well. 2.Simple and sturdy. 3.generous amount of metal. 4.no glaring QC on mine. 5.KA's artistic eye To translate "the source accurate but still retaining fans consensual(?) ideal proportion of the character to sculpt him was perfect i thought. 6.packaging. I prefer no styro coffin but thats just me haha 7.minimal accessory with no stand, again just my preference. The whole figure feels luxurious. No squeaks on joints, feels cold to the touch, heavy, poses well. It is very stable. Even the plastic used feels superior.

It's nice to see a very straight-forward, no bullsh*t collectible in this market which is unfortunately a lot harder to find than it should be.

No worries.
I took a bit of a gamble with KA as the previous release seem to have issue or two. But am very happy it paid off really well.
Yeah it harken backs to olden days in someways. Its pretty playable. No fiddly parts.
The only hiccup was inserting those batteries.
The magnets in the head kept to takeing the batteries away from you just when you thought you had the last one in haha.

Con Inserting batteries was indeed pain in the ass.
first thank you for your report, i will try to grab it when its on sale
2nd you dont even know the definition of pain in the ass
did you know their Grendizer have 4 places the require batteries to activate the LEDs ? thats a true DX pain in the ass, to top it the double spazer have 3 places
a total of 21 batteries need to be insulated, they made the DX Combattler V looks like a walk in the park

You know I was about to buy this but I honestly tried watching the anime from start to finish whole series. One of the worst anime shows for me. 😛 So I’m going to pass on this one.

Aw Sorry to hear that.
Cant say anthing about anime (since havent watched it) but the figure itself is OUTSTANDING.
But as always, I respect your opinion and decision.

Since I'm American, I don't go by any of the anime. I just love these things because of the Shogun Warriors line. I discovered the existence of God Mazinger a few years ago & fell in love with the design! This is a dream come true to own the King Arts figure!

@greengetter: Yeah, man. I’m glad you like it too. It’s a great rendition of an obscure character. I love mine, although I think the light gimmick is a little underwhelming - not enough luminance for my taste but a cool option nonetheless. Regarding the face plate change: if you pop the head off of its ball joint, the faceplates come out very smoothly - I think you might need to slide them down, if I recall correctly. Pretty sure they’re held in by magnets like the skull cap but you definitely need to pop the head off to change them. It only took you 5 minutes to put the batteries in it?!?!? Someone needs to make videos showing how to insert batteries in these figures!

greengetterguy I'm going to put you in the hot seat here; Now that you've had it a while how do you feel about this piece and also has the q.c. kept up well?

Sure thing.
Yeah, no qc issues.
overall yeah a Solid,cold, hefty action figure. A smooth silky joints makes him pose a real joy.
A very balanced figure. (But He DID fall backwards once when i knocked him over, but not a scratch on him.)

So overall you'd say you're still as enamored with it as when you first got it? If so that speaks really darned highly of this piece.
