I'm not really sold on the whole metallic finish...I've never been. It would just look out of place with all the other gokins that don't have it. I can at least track down the older release of Afrodite A instead, it's not too pricey. Yeah, I prefer anime accurate colors myself. I wish Mazinger's upper limbs and belly were white. I wish GX-27 Gaiking's horns and chest plate were yellow instead of gold, and his upper limbs white instead of chrome.

Damn! I really don't wanna have to repaint this one too... }/

as expected, the black end up been like a gunmetal look because of the flake effect as well the blue, but whats with the face? it looks like they use sharpy in it. also they mess up the face most noticible in the eyes, Mazinger Z never had this devil expression look. he had more like a calm face.

it's like Bandai's intentionally screwed it all up to protect the scalpers of the original versions.

I doubt its gonna look like that in the end highly..and the GX-01R+ ALSO has the flek paint ,this is the same model..its virtually unnoticed though in the black in hand.This isnt teh finished version,its been done up for the proto Im sure.

I hope so bro! It really looks like ass! The only other SOC I've seen with such a horrible metallic paint job, was the GX-45A Shin Mazinger Atami Night version. Horrible!!! }D

Now THAT's how GX-01 was supposed to look like in the first place. I just wish Bandai will use ABS material for the head this time instead of PVC. Yeah, dream on

I was really hoping the metallic look was just a photography trick, you know, to make the samples look better, but...those Voltes photos, no WAY that's just "minor touchup" for photography purposes.

I think they will look fine in normal lighting, plus the pictures are not production samples as stated at the bottom.

I can't believe I patiently waited for this Mazinger with much anticipation and now I'm having doubts about buying it.

But this doesn't have the same effect on me when I see it ! I am sure the final product will look better I am just wondering what went wrong with these images?

Here is a comparison between the DX's metallic blue face and the picture of the GX-01R+ 40th Ann face: It may be the same metallic paint used on both, but the GX-01R+'s head is a lot smaller. Hence, it looks like crap. }D
