Hey, cheer up bro... it was only your first time doing those lines. ;D Lemme guess: you were inspired by the look of the MechaColle Mazinger model kit. It looks like a toy, but with 'realistic' panel-lined armor. I thought so. ;D Perhaps it might be My eyes, or the way those lines look in them images, but they do look kinda thick. Instead of a compass (the compass point is way too thick, I wish I had advised you about that earlier before you went ahead) next time try using a much finer point such as a sewing needle... ...a very thin sewing needle. That way the lines can still be there without looking too obvious. I tell you what... when I get my SRC Mazingers, I'll do a Missile Punch trap-door panel-line on mine, and I'll write a step-by-step tutorial on how I did it. We must remember, though, that this time we're dealing with die-cast metal and Not plastic. It's easier to repair plastic. But once you subtract from die-cast metal, even just a few scratches, it's Gone. zozo-Magengar

No, not your eyes They do look thick...but only in the pics (I dunno why!)...in real, they are OK. The only 2 problems are those I mentioned before. One of the problems actually happened for a very stupid reason: I was slightly marking the centre line with a very thin edged pencil! That's how this dark scratch spot happened I also realized that the silver paint is kinda of glossy, it let the edge of the compass slide! The compass I used has a very thin edge, so it was not the problem. I am OK with what I did...but I wish I had much better results! And nope, I wasn't inspired by the MechaColles ;D I was inspired long ago by GX-01, but I adapted the trap door to go with how it works in the anime! Trust me, as much as it didn't give me the expected results, but it makes me feel happy to see a Mazinger Z with these lines on the belly! Now, my SRC Mazinger Z can fire his missiles ;D

Cool! Hey, if you're happy with it, that's all that really matters; more power to you. At least now you know what to expect next time you carve into any more SRCs. ;D zozo-Magengar Hey, cheer up bro... it was only your first time doing those lines. ;D Abbreviated to save space herezozo-Magengar Hey, bro!

MAZIN/DIZER, GO!«Drill Pressure Punch - Screw Crusher Punch - Rocket Punch» Oh, oh... I notice the chrome in your GX-04 is tarnished! That seems to be a common problem with these chrome parts. I still haven't seen any tarnishing on mine, but the weather here is pretty mild. That's another reason why I prefer painted over chromed figures, you don't have to worry about painted surfaces too much. It still looks like Grendizer needs to go on a diet there, it better start eating salads or it will soon look like Boss Borot! ;D }D

In the future, any chance to see something like that?? I was wondering the same thing, chances are the we'll either see the remaining 3 Data Weapons as a Tamashii Exclusive(again sigh). OR we'll see the Data Weapons as a Weapons pack with Kiva (Kiba?) similar to the Mazinger Weapons pack. At least we're getting the Unicorn Drill and Viper Whip with the Ogre. That's 2 down. Gold

Do you want to read the most stupid thing ever? I made a phone call and spoke to one of the Egyptian custom employees. She told me they charged me for this HUGE amount of money because the seller included a receipt in the parcel! Isn't that f@%$!#' STUPID!

But you are right, the shine of chrome on my GX-04 started to fade since I took him outta the box! Perhaps cuz I always leave the window opened in my room? Maybe I'll paint it some day when he ages. Sure the acrylic colors do not have the same problem but if you are talking specifically 'bout the SRC line; according to what some of our friends here wrote about their SRCs got some scratches and after my engraving experience with Mazinger Z, I say the paint is not safe for life!

Okay, now I'm confused. The "New Kiba" is an SRC, right? But then, what is the "Old Version"? I've never seen it before! }D

Included are: Mazinger's accessories -Jet pileder -Drill missile effect -Iron cutter Great Mazinger's accessories -Knee impulse kick -Backspin kick -Great booster Do you know if the new SRC Double Mazingers weapons set would include anything more than what's in the image/what you've listed? In addition to what we see in the image, I would really love to see a belly missile gimmick for Z and a collapsed scramble dash for Great Mazinger! Wouldn't it be cool? I believe that's all there is to the weapons pack 2, still no final word yet when it's coming out though. I would love a collapsed Scramble Dash for Great Mazinger myself, but I don't think they will make a belly modification "accessory" for Maz. Gold One more thing I would love to see with the new 2011 Mazinger Weapon Set (which I think will include both Z & Great stuff): one lightning effect for the Thunder Break and another for the Mazinger Blade! That's because Great Mazinger does a Double Thunder Break and he has 2 swords! BANDAI, PLEASE DO IT!

Well, Great Mazinger's second sword is included with the SRC Mazinger Z. Mazinger never had any swords of its own... it was borrowed.

Does it say the Mazinkaiser is going to be included? I may be mistaken, but I think that it is just the Mazinger. }D
