I'm sure that MF would make a killer Daimos, but I would still rather have Bandai make one so it would be the same scale and aesthetics as Voltes and Com-Battler. But I do think and hope that MF would make a awesome non-combining Dangaio

I dont think the daimos should be done by maxfactory. Ever notice that maxfactory's diecast are simpler? I dont thnk that they have enough experience yet to do a daimos with transformation and all the bells and whistles. I have the original bandai daimos and I still love it enough to wait a bit longer. That was the second toy I got in my life. My first was the daiku..... god I wish I wasnt as destructive back then.....

I think too that daimos will not be one of the next

I agree with Chen. I hardly think there's any chance of an MF Daimos, but even if one came out, the "feel" and probably the size as well wouldn't match the SOC Voltes and Combattler perfectly.

MF GGG and godannar blends well with soc robots and aoshimas. the colors and quality of paintjob is more or less the same.

mannyD> The mazinkaiser blends pretty well but not perfectly. The breast fire plates should be bare red plastic or painted red like the gx-07, and the upper arms should be chrome for it to match up with SOCs. The scrander should also be glossy red, not metallic red. That said, it still goes with them better than the Aoshima, but if they ever made a SOC Mazinkaiser and you looked at the two together it would be extremely obvious which is the SOC and which isn't.

...

(btw, pic borrowed again from gold's pictures and review of mazinkaiser

mannyD, the aoshima one is based on the OVA. It goes better with the GX-07 which is based on the same OVA, but not with the GX-01r and GX-02r, which have completely different styles. Mazinkaiser's first appearance was in super robot wars, and it was like the maxfactory version. It appeared with mazinger z and great mazinger, and they were the original anime versions. So, the Maxfactory version has appeared with the tv series Maz and Great Maz but the Aoshima version has not.
Besides all that though it's just a matter of what you think looks better next to them. The thing that bugged me the most about the Aoshima was the low quality paintjob on the breastfire plates and the dark gray piece above them. It stands out because the SOC breastfire plates manage to look good even with no paint, and because the paintjob on the aoshima everywhere else is outstanding.

My only problem with the Aoshima one standing next to the SOC's figures is that it's SO much bigger. With GX-01R, GX-02R, and to a point the MF one you can see a gradual increase in size with every new design, although the design from Great Mazinger to Mazinkaiser is a little extreme.

I agree with that Chen. But that reminds me of how it's too bad that with Grendizer SOC looks a little small compared to the gx-0r and gx-02r. Nothing too terrible but it would be nice if it were a few mm taller than it is.

True, although if you compare eye level to eye level Grendizer is taller but Great Maz has that pointy head design that makes him a wee bit taller. They should have made Grendizer about as tall as Getter Dragon so he would be a little taller than Great Maz and the same height as Dragon.

in my opinion.. i think the Aoshima mazinkaiser was perfectly scaled for the GX-01R and 02R.. remember the fight scene from the mazinkaiser series were mazinkaiser lift the mazinger(controlled by baron ashura) with its hand.. smashing it liked a poor child... i think mazinkaiser is really taller than the both the mazinger and great mazinger..

...the aoshima one is based on the OVA. It goes better with the GX-07 which is based on the same OVA... yeah you can do that ...but not with the GX-01r and GX-02r, which have completely different styles... i don't think so. they are all base on anime ...Mazinkaiser's first appearance was in super robot wars, and it was like the maxfactory version... you are right here ;D ...So, the Maxfactory version has appeared with the tv series Maz and Great Maz but the Aoshima version has not... again, i don't think so. to make it simple, it all depends on the perspective dude. you can display GX-01R, GX-02R, GX-07, and aoshima mazinkaiser altogether because they are all base on "anime", OVA and original TV series. now if you like to add MF mazinkaiser, the better. you will have mazinkaiser 1st appearance ver too. and... ...The thing that bugged me the most about the Aoshima was the low quality paintjob on the breastfire plates and the dark gray piece above them. It stands out because the SOC breastfire plates manage to look good even with no paint... ...The breast fire plates should be bare red plastic or painted red like the gx-07, and the upper arms should be chrome for it to match up with SOCs. The scrander should also be glossy red, not metallic red... well again, that is your opinion. but IMO, as you can see in the pics of gold in page 1, they all look good together.

IMO, just as the super robot wars-based maxfactory mazinkaiser doesn't look nearly as appropriate with the gx-07 as the aoshima version does, the OVA-based Aoshima doesn't look as appropriate with the gx-01r and gx-02r as the SRW mazinkaiser, which was designed to be like a powered up version of the old blue-armed blue-legged TV series Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger. To cross them would be like displaying an rx-78 from 0079 with an F2zaku from 0083. Yeah, it's a gundam and a zaku, but it's not the right zaku, even if its awfully similar. To someone that's never played SRW nor watched the OVA, it's as simple as looking at Gold's pic and choosing which you think looks cooler. They've got it easy.

Yeah, it's a gundam and a zaku, but it's not the right zaku, even if its awfully similar... hmm...bad comparison dude. if you are speaking about gundam model kits, of course you can follow your line of thinking because there are a lot of mechs available in a particular gundam series to be displayed together. but in soc (MF and aoshima too), there aren't too many. one main soc per one tv/OVA series dude. so it is reasonable to display the socs from the different series together ...looking at Gold's pic and choosing which you think looks cooler... na'ah...wrong again dude. like i said they can be displayed together because they are all anime base. and of course (you are finally right here), they all look cool together but then again, if i follow you right. you can display yours together according to tv/OVA series. one shelf for one series. man, how many shelves wud that take? ;D ...To someone that's never played SRW nor watched the OVA... really???...but i did watched the OVA. but i didn't know you still need to play the SRW game so that you can display ur gokins right haha ;D

"okay...like i said, if you didn't get it the first time..."
No need to be rude. Everything depends on perspective. Some people will display all mazingers together of any type, some all gokins, some only stuff from anime, some only stuff from the same universe, some only stuff from the same anime. It's just a matter of what parameters you set. I just happen to think that being from the same setting is a good parameter to use. For the same reason, I wouldn't display batman toys based on the original tv show with ones from the comic and ones from the modern movies, that is, if I collected batman toys, which I don't. I'd keep them together with the things that have the same feel.
The OVA Mazinkaiser and SRW Mazinkaiser are not from the same world. There are very distinct differences like the claws on the chest of the OVA version. It's only natural to display things with things from the same setting. There's nothing wrong with the gundam example, as there's really just as much different between a zaku fj and an f2 zaku as between the 2 different mazinkaisers, and although the rx-78 surely exists, although it is unpictured, in the 0083 world, if it actually did show up in 0083 you know they'd have to make it look very different from how it did in 0079 to have it fit in.
> really???...but i did watched the OVA. but i didn't know you still need to play the SRW game so that you can display ur gokins right haha
I don't know why you're trying to set up this straw man but the fact is you don't need to have played SRW. You display your stuff based on as much information as you have. You see, if you didn't know the difference between mazingers and govarian you might display them together. If you didn't know what robots were by go nagai you might not have any interest in displaying them all together. If you hadn't seen the OVA and didn't know about SRW, you might think Mazinkaiser is just as authentic of an old-school design as the actual old-school designs. You do it based on the amount of knowledge you have. There's nothing wrong with being satisfied like that, and that's why I didn't say my opinion is superior to yours. One person might throw all their sound files in the same folder, one person might have them neatly organized, but if they both can find the music they want when they want to listen to it, hey, there's no real difference. Different strokes for different folks.
