So it's not an Aoshima Italian exclusive then? Ha... quick pass for me then! If it's a custom, I can pretty much do that myself. }D

I thought this was a joint venture between the two? Either way not gonna get it, I just wish Aoshima would re-issue their version so I can have it in my collection again.

Baron, are you getting one? I would if it was a truly official joint venture with Aoshima, but since it isn't (and a don't have any love for the Shin Mazinger story), I will definitely pass on it. Besides, you know I totally avoid Italian sellers like the plague! ;D It is just way too stressful IMO. ;D }D

Damn, that's too bad. That Ankouku figure there looks nice, if it were available here in the U.S. I'd like to have ANY Ankie figure to go with my Mazzies. zozo-mag

The Cosmic Group is the official importer of Bandai and other stuff in Italy. As far as I know from Italian forums this is being done by Aoshima on exclusive request for the Italian market.

Really?That strikes me as odd.Aoshima has done zero lately,and now they give us a modified version of an old Gokin? Sounds weird.i was under teh impression the Cosmic Group were a small company of a few guys maybe,who backordered from aoshima and are doing this themselves.That is what it seems on the surface.But if you frequent the Italian forums,i guess you must be correct. It seems odd though doesnt it?.But then again Aoshima is known for a ton of repaints,its just this came way late.I guess this could have came by on request since Aoshima still is a big business for models etc.

That thing is close to %90 die cast...It almost competes with Yamato Liger as far as weight and die cast content.
It will strain my feeble wrist if I try to lift him with one hand.

World-wide or just Italy? If it is a world-wide release and not an Italian exclusive I'll probably pick one up. }D
