Didn't the old GX-01R+ come with a different Scrander, one based on the vs. Devilman movie?
The new headsculpt doesn't sell me - and I think I'll stick to my original plan of getting the old Aphrodite instead.

Not so much that as that it would simply look out of place next to my old style GX-01R.
But yeah, I'm not a big fan of "metallic" finish.

I hate metallic finishes myself. Not getting the Aphrodite, and only getting the Mazinger because... it's Mazinger. }D

I mean at least the Daitarn color reissue made some sense,teh candy apple red is like huh?? But good thinking Mag,Ill get it still,if i dont liek it someone will need it. BTW guys,YES teh original GX-01R+ came with the Devilman scrander,that makes this version basically as close to close as you can get to a correct Mazinger minus the finish...

How on Earth can those bodacious rockets fit inside her upper-body like that! zozo-mag I don't have my dvd at the moment, but they did kinda addressed that magic in the episode where Maz used it. It was a very funny sequence with Sayaka totally violently upset that Koji "upgraded" the boobie-missiles without her approval. iirc, Koji and the three stooges were drawn with the obvious sh*t-eating grins while doing the "upgrade"...

Yep, I saw that episode, Maz vs Gelbros the supersonic flying kikaiju. That episode marked the beginning of the idea to upgrade Mazinger-Z with the ability to fly. Aphrodai loaned Maz her boob missiles so that he could catch up to Gelbros and defeat him. And I'll bet Go Nagai couldn't help injecting this kind of subtle "adult humor" into this episode. I wonder if he borrowed any ideas from his Cutie Honey manga/anime for this episode. zozo-mag

I hope that image is in need of some color tweaking, because if not, this 40th Voltes figure does not look impressive at all. That candy red is ugly.

what i am afraid is ...that candy red might flake off when you keep handling voltes V.....just like the chrome color in hasbros TF jetfire....hopefully NOT....

not for PO but once released, you should be able to pick one up... maybe at a higher cost

Either Amazon or Bluefin (or both!) is taking their stupid ass time to list the 40th-Anniv SOCs up for PO.
In contrast, figuarts Vegetto is already listed with a May/15 release-date up on amazon.
DAFUQ!?!
