Tom your right,the hyphen isnt a hyphen at all in that sense,it also appears at the end of Grendizer in his logo also,and Great Mazinger too,its the way er is written but in translation it comes up the letter a with a long dash over the top like our long a sound.think Majinga is how they say Mazinger,or Grendizer is Grendiza.  |

I guess so.. maybe the hyphen that we use is a Western thing? |

My bad, I should've said "any store EXCEPT Italy". I rather pay more at an Asian or local USA store that to risk it with Italian shipping. Come on Tom! What's the deal with this figure???  }D |

I like that face. looks really good, although im noticing that the rotation of the leg occures only in the lower leg in the knee and not the upper leg which will make that groove in the upper leg in the knee area look kinda akward when posing, since this is still in working stages ihope they change that to make it look natural. |

release date is the 27th.. I think it should be available for order on the same day. You can pre-order at PBM for the normal price just by sending him an email .. I doubt it will make a difference on the delivery date though.. everyone that has it will open the sale on the same day.
as for the leg on Zmazinger.. its the same basic leg that is on Gin Gin and Gattiger

Im sure the upper leg spins,does Gin Gins? Dont feel like grabbing him at the moment,if his does,Im guessing Zs will as the connection point is the same Id think..? lOOKING CLOSELY I THINK IT SPINS AND THEY ARE JUST BEING LAZY POSING? If not the case and theupper leg doesnt spin that would be EXTREMELY laughable,prehistoric in modern Gokin, and i wouldnt even want the toy,its way obvious if true.I hope not !!

Oh man i see on gattaiger and Gin Gin there are no details on upper legs as they just need to be cylinders,so its quite possible they dont spin..Z-mazinger has detailed legs,GinGins legs dont want to spin on mine,oh no,this is really a set back for HLPro if those legs dont work right,and they will definately not live that one down.Tom please help here..? So your saying they wont spin? They look crazy liek that."Crazy legs Z-Mazinger"
If HLPro cant fix that,and if is indeed an issue, ill just be sticking with my ET version.That NEEDS to be fixed.

I don't know.. I would think that they spin. The old ones didn't really have to.. they are still working on Zmaz and its months away.. what you see here is a prototype in development. Im sure if they find something they don't like with Zmaz they will change it.
Looking down in that joint I would say that they spin.. it would be real easy to do.. just a peg in the upper thigh with 360 rotation..thats all it would take
OK the explanation I got was that the priority was to make his so he looks as good as possible in a fairly static pose.. true to the character. The team is worried that rotation in that spot could cause scratches on the paint but they investigating a compromise solution to this problem.. they are going to see if a small amount of rotation can be used there without causing paint problems.
