Just finished the vid, it's 40 minutes long. Wow! THIS is what I call a Deluxe representation of the character. It's obvious that a lot of love went into the design of this guy.

First video (my figure still didn't ship yet)... www.facebook.com/toyswalker/videos/1593005427411812/Oh holy crap! It has LED lighting EVERYWHERE! Rocket punch, Breast Fire, Eyes and Scrander lights up! Ratchet goodness everywhere and very solid looking. Awesome vid that makes me feel doubly good about my purchase decision.

So.... what are the prospects for pre-order madness on this? I've never bought a Metal Build and this would be my first Mazinger, even. The Metal Build Mazinger Z is going to be insanely sought after so I would get a preorder in ASAP. You have collectors of the Metal Build line, SoC collectors and fans of Mazinger collectors all on this one product.

I will skip Great Mazinger as I have the DX and depending on how I feel about Mazinger Z after receiving it will order Grendizer.

Add better LED lighting effects too. Wow! This thing get's better and better looking every new pic. I am really looking forward to it. the only LEDs here are in the eyes right ? the DX have lights in the eyes and in breast fire plates so in my opinion that's a win for the DX lol From the pics I have seen, the eyes, scrander engines and possibly the breast fire light up. And much more brightly than the DX.

in my opinion this figure done 3 things better than the DX version (yes i said that) 1-you can see the mechanical parts from the back as well 2-better articulation 3-damage parts but over all the DX is the king of all Mazingers in the world and near by galaxies more photos here www.gokin.it/2017/09/22/rilasciato-king-arts-mazinger-z-die-cast-figure-series/ i think we are going to see another DX Mazinger with all those ideas DX Mazinger z R Add better LED lighting effects too. Wow! This thing get's better and better looking every new pic. I am really looking forward to it.

Look at all that metal though......i think those parts with screw holes look like metal to me. BTW, i finished the translation and finished posting it and the site crapped out on me. That all the air out of me...maybe ill try again Tomorrow... Please share the link here. Look forward to seeing or reading it. I speak and read a lot of Japanese but not fluently by any means so rely on subtitles and Furigana when reading Kanji.

Ooh, i do like how they didnt use styro!! I love plastic trays!! One of the big reason i love Sentinel. Come n Bandai, learn from the little guys, therere no shame in that! Keep it up KA, i might pick up your Grendy if Duke gives two thumbs up on his Mazinger. What, you don't trust my opinion? Just kidding....

Looks great but way overpriced in my opinion. If it were around $75 I'd go for it.

King Arts sent me an email to pay the remaining amount for DFS065 Magizer Z! I did and it should ship before the end of this month. Once it's in hand, I will let you know how good or bad it is! I haven't received any notification from HL Japan yet...

Oh come on, this is Mazinger! You know it's going to be Ankokou DaiShogun/The Dark General.

Yeah, the belt's "buckle" is FUGLY and the Scrander does sit too low.

for after market price, yup I'Ill say it, one because Grendizer isn't as popular in the long run like Mazinger, and the Fewture model barely resembled Grendizer as most Fewture models end up being huge abstracts of the source material. I love 'em but it's true for both Grendizer as a character and Fewture as a model maker. not really Grendizer fans are hardcore, but the original MSRP was high at $230, it drove some of them off however most of the Grendizer fans i know got the figure, even non Grendizer fans got it in order to truly apprentice this figure you need to see it in person specially when you use the double Harken the colors mix are so vivid and amazing the Spazer is also good, huge and have a unique design on its own, im so glad i picked them up and if they release the other Spazers i will get them too Agreed, Grendizer fans are hardcore and the Fewture model is great as are most of their designs but like I said, they are rarely very faithful to the original design.

when Fewture did that move i hated it so much, till today some bros left without a Spazer, why? because no one would pay + $300 for it No one?

I would love an Iron Giant SoC. Bandai has been giving mixed signals lately about USA penetration. Voltron, COOL! Then we get Gyspy Danger then they don't offer the US a fav US anime release, Big O on re-release.... Hmmmmm.......
