As much as I like this Mazinger, I'm kind of disappointed that there's no news whatsoever about the Daitarn 3!! I'd have rather got the GX 45 as daitarn and then this Mazinger.

Under the recession, Bandai is starting to dig up the old robot to make money. But I am a Mazinger Fans, I will get this SOC for sure.

I'm getting this figure and I'm all for the new Mazinger anime, but I have to confess I'm a continuity junkie. For me the only true sequels to Mazinger and Getter Robo are Great Mazinger (Grendizer is a tie-in) and Getter Robo G. I might stretch for Shin Getter and Mazinkaiser but if there gonna start all over again then their basically throwing away so much history. I just hope this new Mazinger series isn't like the New Shin Getter series, nice but in the end meaningless and doesn't add much to the Mythos of Mazinger.
On another note, I can't see Mazinger being the only star of the show. I wonder if Great Mazinger will show up and how he would look? Or maybe a new version of Mazinkaiser, one which will be made into a SOC.
Anyways, I really hope it's a NEW storyline and not just a re-hash like the Mazinkaiser shows.

Hmmm, never bought a classic designed mech before, but this might change that ;D.

You can't go wrong with any Mazinger figure from the SOC line, but I do wish they chromed the thighs and arms.

Fear not Chen - this new Shin Mazinger series will be a god-send to the Bandai toy/SOC line. A chromed version of Shim Mazinger should see the light of day near year's end, probably. As a fellow Mazinger junkie, I welcome it.

It must be a new storyline or maybe it is a cheesy retelling of the original with a twist of modernization. I have high hopes as well.

Did anyone notice a button-like switch on the right arm of the GX-45 (the Rocket Punch pose)? Looks like you can switch between a normal arm and a Rocket Punch firing arm. Also, it looks like it won't have the Missile Punch.
