What other figures this company made? Really thinking about picking it up, maybe if this a definitive Mazinksier I wont have to sell my insides to buy the Sentinel one or praise for a reissue.

im sick of people greed man, people what to get rich quickly by any means, you find this greed every where
look at the ps5 prices right now some are asking $1000 for the digital version the blu ray extra $200, for something that cost half of that, i know its a demand and supply case but still to ask 3x times the original price is insane
now im not say this figure will cost $500 but looking at other companies greed i wont be surprised

You are fighting windmills, my friend (we have that expression in Spanish it means, like Don Quijote, just going against something you can defeat). Prices has gone up and are not going down, there costs increase and mostly increasing demand. I agree with you many are overpriced, but if every figure is coming out at those prices then when a really good one comes out I think it deserve a chance. Luckily I have almost everything I wanted when I started, just a few figures more and I'm out (or at least buying one or two figures a year). I'm not saying you are wrong but just let it be... there is no point in complaining, at least not here... Look cool, but I'm happy with my SOC...

I'd gladly pay $500 for this over $200 SOC anyday, but I'm expecting somewhere around $300 range

first thank you for the memories i remember that character from an old cartoon
please consider this as a friendly chat, i totally understand the cost increased in some areas like the materials and working hands specially in these times of COVID, also shortages in some key parts
however some companies like CCS managed to keep it real with their prices look at Gurren Lagann, Zero both are reasonably priced, combiners wise the GX95 i know its not jaw dropping but the price was kinda reasonable, the GX-96 Getter Go also
on the other hand (some companies) was already overpricing their figures, are trying to make this as an excuse to overprice even more, the jump in their prices are an exaggeration, especially with some figures that have many other alternatives, ranging from cool to jaw drooping alternatives
which leads me to another key points (other alternatives) for example if a company came up with lets say Albegas a huge diecast combiner but the price tag was high, i will insult them first then preorder one later lol, because the isnt any other decent Albegas figure in the market, but asking a high price for something that have at least 5 alternatives that is not so far away and not so much different is a hard bargain to be honest
lastly if we cant complain about prices and figures in General in RJ where should we do it ? lol consider it a reasoning why some wont get a certain figure

Very nice figure. Curious about the price.
Also there is tendency of premium figure, like if 300-350 wasn't enough.
We see now 500+ figure. Not sure I like that about the hobby.

Is it just me, or is the sculpt almost a copy of the SOC with minor alteration and added details? Some parts are just way too close, kind of like using the SOC as their blueprint, then built on top with small changes here and there. I have not seen 2 different Mazinkaiser sculpt from different companies and sculptors that turn out this similar...

I do too think some areas do look strikingly similar, especially the head sculpt and mid chest area like the location of 4 golden diamonds. Proportion wise, it's got much larger upper body, and longer legs bigger feet. Overall, it looks like beefed up version of SOC.

Even add in Mazinkaiser Infinitism model kit, another candidate that is somewhat close at a glance. But you can see the proportion difference everywhere, longer and lower arms, and each individual shape (head shape, shoulder block, biceps, elbows, upper & lower torso, hip speedo, thigh shape and length, lower leg...etc.). But not the Macott Station one, with some parts almost identical.

head sculpt is pretty much identical

I'll cut them some slack since the SOC Mazinkaiser is as close to the base design of the robot as you can get, but it is very similar looking.
