OH THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE DISPLAY STAND!!! the falcons beak,crest and yes are painted! didnt get that with the other 31V.Mechanical Flesh both other voltes came with this falcon stand,but neither had color.Not enough to make me regret cancelling,the new robot colors arent doing it for me,I like the first 2 much better,but if you dont have Voltes,its great cuz you get the upgraded gun from 31V I think,and the new stand etc etc! OLD 31V stand WITHOUT COLOR NEW ONE WITH COLOR BAM !! looking for a red marker...... done ! Same like the 40th ver lol

Sorry if this was covered before, but does this 40th Voltes have the ability to turn into the Voltes Tank like GX-31V? Or is this the first mold of GX-31 where it can't do it yet?

Looking at the old promo pics it says GX-31V 40th anniversary so I'm assuming it transforms into tank. Not that I care for that mode but its a nice tribute to the vintage popy.

Owners of 40th Anniv. SOC Maz, any of you have problems or difficulty rotating the left leg? ("left" if Maz is facing you)
The first piece I got was so tight, I had to go back to the store and have it replaced. Good thing they had 1 more in stock, still a bit tight, but at least it turns with some effort. Can't even pose the first one, I was afraid the joint might break if I force it since that part is made of plastic.
For those who are planning to get theirs later, try turning both legs to check if they're not stuck before leaving the store.
And btw... Happy New Year! [^_^]

I just found out that I will get the 40th anniversary version of Mazinger and Aphrodai for my birthday TheMazingerZ.... What version of the SOC Mazinger is the one on the right of your last photo?

This one? On that side? ===> It is a GX-01R with custom painted white armor, and the head, forearms, and lower legs of a 40th Anniversary GX-01R+. But I realized I did not like the 40th Anniversary's head that much, so now it looks like this: }D

TheMazingerZ.... Thanks for letting me know. I like the custom painted white armor. Is there an SOC release like this?

No. Unfortunately, Bandai doesn't like to use white as much as Aoshima does. }D

Love the review Chachi, very detailed indeed... but I must agree with S_Gokin that the white background is too much...
Cheers.

Agree, excellent review Chachi! The 40th anniversary one definitly have a much better sculpt than gx-01r.

Well, the only noticeable difference in sculpt is the head, really. It's got the same head the 01R+ had, and maybe the figure is a few millimeters taller (?) from what I saw, but don't quote me on that. It's basically a 01R+, not limited and with a different paintjob. Hopefully I'll get a copy soon, just a matter of days/weeks my collection needs more Mazinger Z hehe.
