I was thinking realign it and then glue it or epoxy would help.That really sucks.Your going to have to pop it off somehow first.

Isn't that shoulder cover set part of the revealing effect to show the inside mechanics of the robot? Because if he glues that shoulder Shut he then wouldn't be able to display Mazinger's inside mechanics fully nekked.
@ Baron: About the hairline scratches... it's possible that those types of scratches occur when a loose strand of hair falls onto the part during the paint process, or the hair fell inside the mold as the plastic is being poured or injected (at the factory)............. Then the hair strand gets stuck into the surface after the paint is dried.
Upon end-of-production-line QC inspection, someone might notice the hair strand and will pull it off thus pulling some paint away from the surface and leaving a blank impression of the strand on the painted surface. Some folks may think it's no big deal, but even something as small as a hair strand can ruin a good production piece and cost a company lots of money with those types of QC issues.
Besides Safety reasons, that hairline scratch situation is also the reason why any production line employee with long hair MUST tie their hair back or wear some kind of head covering. Since human hair breaks off easily, it can fall onto a production piece and ruin the surface-finishing process. Whenever I cast a resin object I tie my hair back and wear a shower cap to keep my hair from breaking off and falling into the rubber mold. lol

Oh, I see. I had always thought the DX Maz could be displayed completely nekked front and back to show its mechanics, but now I guess not.
Good call about the wing scratch issue. If they're made in batches and put in a pile, and several picked up by hand all at once, then it's understood they could also get scratched that way as well.

Ordered one! That way I can modify it into the Toei version, or adapt it for use with another 12" Mazinger figure. }D

Gah! I knew I should have waited. Oh well. At least I got the Amazon deal on the figure itself.

Thanks for the heads up anubis20! Ordered. I was just waiting for this to happen. I was able to get the DX Mazinger earlier from amazon on sale and now I can complete him.

Wow and I thought $64 was good. Thanks for the info greengetterguy. I never would have thought that it would price drop again an hour after I ordered it. Thank goodness I was just able to cancel my order and place a new one at the lower price. This is just one example why I really like the RJ boards. We are all looking out for one another.

Damn. I don't even have the DX Mazinger, but i may need to jump on the scrander for that price. If I never end up getting th DX I can sell the thing, but I want the DX and the scrander eventually, doubt it will get discounted more than 50%!
