As a collector, I would consider if this is going to be part of a "grouping" for display or just meant to be a "solo" piece. Is it going to be opened and displayed with other robots that are in the series or look similar? Do the other robots exhibit limited qualites (ie. Black, metallic exclusive, etc.)
So you need to ask yourself these questions..if none of these apply, go with your gut and pick the one that makes you feel good and happy each time you see it.
Me personally, I would pick the black wing version. Looks more bad-ass. But that's just my opinion. ALTHOUGH, if I had the cash, I would GET BOTH!
haha...we collectors are majorly addicted! Lord have mercy!

I have the 'regular' aoshima Mazinkaiser and I love it to death. It works in scale to the Bandai Mazingers and is SUPER heavy for it's size. I'd like to see if Bandai could out do aoshima with a Bandai SOC Mazinkaiser. ;D
I ultimately plan on owning all three Aoshima Mazinkaisers, but for now I am totally happy with my reg version. ;D

Yep! Nuthin beats the regular of course! but in regards to the options presented by chogokinabdul, I had to work with what he was considering.

I concur ;D I had the same question as chogokinabdul before I got my Mazinkaiser, but I got tired of fighting the choices, so I just got the one that was the least expensive at the time.

If I may put my 2 cents in: The various MH Mazinkaisers are, in essence, repaints. There are no improvements in the toy in any variant. This contrasts the SOC release of the GX-01 (mazinger), 01R (which was a renewal version with design improvements on top of the color improvements), 07 (Mazinger OVA version). That aside, your choice will based on price AND color preference. I have two Mazinkaisers (an OAV version and the limited overseas Black Wing). Based on that, if I had to chose I'd go for the Black Wing Japan version (and swap the Black Kaiser Scrander for a regular version Kaiser Scrander) since: 1) I love the color scheme, and 2) The color scheme matches that of the SOC Maz and GM so they look cool side by side. As for price, since they are all repaint, the price of the toys should theoretically be the same. (But demand and speculators affect the price. ) As a basis for some comparison, check this out: Black Wing Overseas Version: www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?AOS71618Kawai Shokai Version: www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?AOS70567Normal (OAV) Version: www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?AOS70918Limited Color Version: www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?AOS70925Black Wing Japan Version: www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?AOS71601

black wing japan version is the best. Not only the upper sites of the legs/arms and sword are silver chromed, the down sites of the black leg/arms make this toy looks incredibly BEAUTIFUL. However the black wing japan version right now is the most expensive one, which will cost you at least 150$ before shipping.
Im glad that i have this version, and compare with the other version, this version looks the best of the best.

All the Aoshima Mazinkaisers are great, I won the Overseas Black Wing version from Ebay and I love it. You might want to try www.toy-wave.com they have the Black Wing Overseas version for $99.00 U.S and the Limited Metalic Overseas version for $150.00 U.S. Get one as soon as possible since they are getting pretty scarce and going up in price.

Yeah they all look good, although the Overseas Black Wing version is even better looking in person. The Blue is really dark and almost looks like the Japanese version. I guess because of the flash all the colours stand out more and makes the contrast really noticable. P.S Chogokinabdul, did you check out www.toy-wave.com yet. I know for a fact that his prices are good but he has only a few Mazinkaiser's left. I don't want you to miss out on this awsome toy.

Might be late, but just throwing my 2 cents worth...
Blackwing Mazinkaiser all the way! Having it stand next to the GX-07 and GX-02R compliments each other well.
As for poseability, I think the Mazinkaiser can pull off better poses, than say, the GX-02R, and, the Shin Getter one has the best poseability of all! ;D

Sigh. My collection for a poseable diecast Mazinkaiser!
