Once again, after my post about new and shin getters, I'm proposing here a listing of all the various versions produced by Miracle House/Aoshima of the Mazinkaiser mecha.
I know of the following ones:
- OVA version (black and white, 1 sword) - black wing japan (black and chrome, 1 chromed sword, black scrander) - black wing oversea (black, blue and chrome, 1 sword, black scrander) - kawai (black, blue, gold parts in the back of the legs, grey, 1 sword) - limited color (like kawai but no gold parts) - new version kawai color (black, grey, 2 chromed swords, duke gorgon) - new version kawai black wing (black, grey, 2 chromed swords, duke gorgon, black scrander)
I'm almost sure there is at least one more version...

The Limited version had more of a Pearl/metallic finish and the blue was darker.

So only four of them have a red scrander?
Forgive my ignorance, but why do they call those "kawai" versions? Are they supposed to be "cuter"? ;D

"Kawai" i thinks refers to the version that have an extra special hands made to "shake hands" with the shin getters.. correct me if i am wrong

Thanks. You know, if we had pictures for each of these versions, this would make a nice pinned thread in this forum as a resource for chogokin newbies like me.

I always thought I got the kawai version but mine doesn't have any black parts at all its all grey and pearly metallic blue with gold parts in the leg & arm joint areas as long that it has the sqaured sticker in front of it's box.. also if it has the extra "shake" hand that taped iside a small plastic bag taht can be found in the middle of mazinkaiser's legs.. it is the kawai version.. correctl me if i am wrong but it is my first mazinkasier...

I think that some pics of each version could be a great idea. I have only OVA and black wing oversea version (with the latest kawai in order now). I can supply the pics for those 3...

LurkerX you have the Limited Metallic version. The Kowai version has blue lower legs and forearms, a black body, and grey legs and no pearl like paint also you see these the most on Ebay right now. I bought one just to get the red Scrander to go with my Blk. Wing Overseas Mazinkaiser. This is the Kowai version www.mechanicalrage.it/foto/mazinkaiser/mazinkaiser1.htm

from the picture/links that you've show.. made me think crazy... because i think the forearms and legs comes from the recent released black wing mazinkaiser because of the color.. pearl gunmetal but the thigh which is silver not chrome.. it can come either on the recent released red wing mazinkaiser or the limited edition red wing mazinkaiser which supposed to have a a dark blue forearms and legs.. us.st11.yimg.com/store1.yimg.com/I/animequest_1878_20893716 but judging by the looks of the sword which is not chrome.. the choice are slimmed down that it was a first release which do not have the duke gorgon figure nor it does not come with two chrome sword.. but if the box had the square sticker in front containing the picture of mazinkaiser handshaking with the shin getter.. you can be sure that it is a kawai version but i'm not sure which one.. you can try asking GOLD of this forum for he is the only super robot guru i know that can answer which mazinkaiser you have.. paging GOLD.. ;D ;D

CHEN & 45caliber: That's exactly it in CHEN's last post's pic link...i forgot to mention that it did come with the shin getter "shaking hand" , because i displayed that hand with the Shin G. accesories. So this is either the "Limited Metallic version" or "the limited edition red wing mazinkaiser" . I think your right though CHEN because I bought this when it 1st got released sometime ago. It was shipped to me by mistake as i just wanted the normal version kind of made me disappointed. all these versions.......enough to drive one mad Thanks for the effort guys I really appreciate it

Hi, The real rare one among all variants is the "Limited Metallic version"(you got it LurkerX, congratulations!!!!) who got dark pearl shiny color like metallic body color effects (box sticker show Shin Getta 1 on the left shaking hand to Mazinkaiser who is on the right). The kawai version know as limited is not a real one as you can see each weeks a couple of them on Ebay...even if they built 1500 'ex as legend says. So for my own, i'll say: 1st - OVA version (black and white, red hand for Shin) 2nd - limited color (metallic dark black body color effects, red hand for Shin, black hand for Shin Getter Devil wing version) the hardest to find of all !!!! 3rd - kawai color (black, blue, grey, red kaizerscrander, red hand for Shin, black hand for Shin Getter Devil wing version)1500ex ?! 4th - black wing japan version (black and chrome, black kaizerscrander) 5th - black wing oversea version(blue and chrome, black kaizerscrander) 6th - new version kawai color (black, blue, grey, chromed swords, duke gorgon, red kaizerscrander)1500ex 7th - new version kawai black wing (black, grey, 2 chromed swords, duke gorgon, black kaiserscrander) thanks to Tecnoworld for light up the way.

Thanks again guys for the info glad to hear that the version i got was pretty rare as i mentioned it was a fluke, i really wasn't "gunning" for it. I'll have to say though that hearing this make me a little more content with it [not that i wasn't content with it to begin its a great/ amazing piece]

...2nd - limited color (metallic dark black body color effects, red hand for Shin, black hand for Shin Getter Devil wing version) the hardest to find of all !!!! so this is the rarest of them all, having the leased number of units produced (less than 1500?)?
