Ok guys word from HLpro.. the head will be slightly widened and he will be made just a tad more robust-looking. For now, shoulders will stay the same.. they say that they could change them but it would make him look weaker. They said they look good in about every pose but at some angles they do not photograph that well... but as they have him in their hands they say you gotta see it in person to really understand it. They will give out more photos as the work progresses and that we will understand those shoulders after its all done and painted and in your hands... you guys did see this message from me didn't you? They decided to make a few changes.. |

I just got paid.. I think Ill order one of those 12" Mazinger Z vinyl action figures and do a video review on it. If memory serves, I think HLpro said that they were discontinuing Mazinger Z and this is the last run of them.. may as well get one before they are gone.

Try imgur.comOpen the webpage with the image you want to post. Open a new tab in your web browser and go to imgur.com. Drag and drop the pic from the first tab to the second tab (the one where you opened imgur.com, anywhere on the page will work). A pop-up window will appear over the page. Click on "start upload". Copy the line under "BBCode (message boards & forums)" into your message on Robot-Japan. Voilà!  You can also right-click on the source pic and upload it to imgur with the "Web" button under "upload images", but I find the drag'n drop method faster and easier. |

After doing either of the 2 options of your choice to get the direct link image, click on the picture icon when posting and paste the link of the picture that you copy. If done correctly the pictures should be show successfully like so. Except that is direct linking which, unless the images are from your own host/account, is usually frowned upon. I used to change the filenames of the pics on my website and upload pictures of mooning people under the old filname, just to mess with direct linkers.  |

Ok think I got it..thanks That Flying Tiger looks good to me.. what do you guys think? looks pretty good, the pic with the gattaiger on the black desk if funny to me because the actual head of the figure is doing a "pica-boo" moment or the "Soon".

yeah you can either use the figures face. a more anime looking "face-cover" or a Plain cover then Gattiger is out of the Tiger. Its good that they gave us a choice.

Baron, TheMazineerZ, where you at on this kit?
I think they liked your mock-up on this guy Baron, they agreed that maybe turning up the volume on that head and beefing him up very slightly would look good too. But the said they could easily change those shoulders but they don't want to.. they said that you gotta have the figure in your hands to really see what they are talking about. Its kinda like the shoulders on a Great Mazinger Jumbomachinder, and when they are pained up and hes in a normal pose he evidently looks real "strong".. way they described it to me they pretty much convinced me. They are basically saying "trust us, weve looked at over and over and we know what were doing, we are confident youll like it when its in your hands and in front of you"
I think the Tiger is looking real good.. I cant wait to see the color mock-up on it.

Yeah, the Tiger is the strong point so far.. when that thing is all painted up yellow its going to be great. According to the facebook posts, anime color in white is first then a "Chogokin" color in silver..
the "peek a boo" thing I think is a nice gimmick..but I plan to display him like the photo above.. Robozier docked into the Tiger and beside the saucer, Roboizer standing in a pose.. "two Roboizers at the same time"

yeah both face modes are included... when hes out you just use a solid cover that they provide.. when he is in, you use the big face cover... HLpro offers a third option to put the upper torso of Roboizer in there and you can use the actual face of the figure if you want..not anime accurate but cool gimmick for the toy...
the picture you sent with the "little face" in the Tiger I am pretty sure was from that Custom... that was his solution to the face problem.

Alrighty then, let's get the production going!!  }D |
