TBH, I like the GX-01R's head better than the GX-01R+, as it is the closest sculpt to the Mazinger Z vs Ankoku Daishogun OVA rendition of Mazinger. If you look closely, you will notice that it is the NECK of the GX-01R that makes it look weird. The neck is way too long. I've been thinking about modifying the neck to make it shorter, and maybe adding some articulation to it as well, like the SRC's have. I have to disagree on the DX Mazinger having the best head sculpt, as it is a copy of the Shin Mazinger's head without the red lines. I hate Shin Mazinger. }D

Well, the DX Mazinger Z's head is the best "Shin Mazinger" head, no doubt. However, it is not the best 1970's animation Mazinger head at all. }D

Getter 1 got released?? Cool, should hit the stores worldwide in a matter of weeks, hopefully. Seems like you had a lil' discussion on what SoC Mazinger looks best it's all a matter of tastes, at the end of the day. As for me, I plan on getting the 01, the 01R and the 40th anniversary version, in the near future. yea you are late MF lol just like our Black Getter discussion & good luck with that they are a must have for any collector or atleast one of them lol and the winner is........GX-01R for the side view of its head, coz i like the jet pilder sticking out Maz head.....but for the overall sculpt and head....GX01R+,.....anime fell into it.....and a big YES...its NOT a tiny difference, judging from the pix they have a lot of difference.... well i guess we have different opinions in that matter, however most of the guys here think that GX-01R head is better than GX-01R+ head and its just millimeters difference not every one will notice that so its a tiny difference

You can't tell which mazinger it is ! It has the body of the classic toei mazinger (barely) but the head of shin mazinger ! So it is just (Bandai Mazinger)

Hehe, true, looks way different. Oh, come one S_Gokin, we all know that all of those Mazinger heads look different, and that there's no "best" one. Some people like the 01 head, cause it's classic. Some people like the 01R head, cause it looks more like the anime one. Some people just like the modernized sculpt of the 01R+, and some other people prefer the finely detailed head of the DX Mazinger. Nobody is right, nobody is wrong here. To each his own. We all got different tastes, it's useless to say "the majority of the people here agree with me/share my thoughts". It's not a contest

The DX Mazinger looks nothing like tge 1970's anime character. Other than the flared back of tge helmet, it is a perfect rendition of the Shin Mazinger face. You can disagree all you want, but that is fact. }D

Yup, the 01R, as it's been stated more and more times, has the head sculpt that resembles the 70's anime Mazinger the most. 01 has incorrect face proportions, while 01R+, just like the upcoming 40th anniversary Maz, have an evil-lloking face, instead of the classic neutral-looking face of the Mazinger anime series.
There, it's been stated again. Uff.

The nose of Gx-01R is what bothers me,its not upturned like the anime pic above its like a 90% angle.the closest to the toei Mazinger is this..an old vinyl that Magengar owns and use to talk about alot,too bad its not diecast.look at the face in bottom pic its exactly like that anime still.

Meanwhile, iirc, the actual original Go Nagai manga drew all three of the faces (01/01R/01R+). iow, GX-07...

Baron, that's the LeReve Mazinger. I have a couple in silver and in white limbs. It is nice, but still nothing like the 70's anime Mazinger. Their upper torso is way too huge. The best classic anime Mazinger figure was prototyped by Bandai as the first SOC, but it never saw the light of day. The GX-01 design was chosen over the prototype... }|

Can you show us a picture of that prototype? (if there are any, of course)

And yes the prototypes were teh best SOC Mazingers ever.

OH what happened here lol that’s a lot of replays to do lol Im not going to quite everyone it will take a page alone so please read it here guys I have posted another picture next to the one from the 70s somehow in my early post but its didn't show i dont know why Any ways here its How is that look like the DX guys, Shin Mazinger face proportions are much smaller than the original one regardless of the paint mojackoOh I see your point now bro but we were talking (and still talking) about the head sculpt not the overall looks The colors are clearly different but changing colors isn’t a huge improvement it’s just paint Improvements could be with sculpt joint and accessories in my opinion @mf Yea bro I got you but everyone have a personal favorite face sculpt for me I see the face of the GX-01 very wrong but the GX-01R is accurate the GX-01R+ is also good but not like the GX-01R and the very best is the DX @tmz That’s not a fact its different opinions that’s all bro treatmentYou know a lot of artiest drew Mazinger in the manga the 70s show the movies and even in the first episode in Grendizer so all like you said are consider accurate
