I saw this posted on Facebook, and I can't locate the Original source.....   Sorry, these are the best pics I could find at this moment. I asked the person (who posted these on Facebook) about the original source of these images. I haven't heard back from that person. In any case, this is one to keep an eye on. This looks like a mock prototype figure. And if it turns out to be legit, we may see this Dai Mazinger become a reality. I'm assuming this is Dai Mazinger, from the proposed late '80s Mazinger-Z OVA that was never made  Thoughts? zozo-mag |

I'm guessing the mock figure is using one of the prototype designs for Mazinger Z from Shin Mazinger Shougeki. I remember seeing it among other unused designs for that anime.

It is a very old prototype picture which predates Shin Mazinger.
However, the concept of having this Dai Mazinger toy transform into a giant rocket punch was carried over to Shin Mazinger.

In the 1980s, on behalf of Dynamic Planning, Masami Ōbari and other independent animators ( Toshiki Hirano ) not part of
Toei Animation began work on a miniseries of Mazinger Z. The OVA would have been called Dai-Mazinger (or Daimajinga, 大魔神我)
and would have presented the same characters known to the general public, starting with the main protagonist Koji.
The robot would be more realistic: for example, it would have exhaust pipes and its rocket fists would not
be able to automatically return to its arms.
The news, initially protected by a tight secrecy, managed to leak and were spread by the specialized press.
Toei protested, saying to Dynamic that the rights of the animation of Mazinger was only theirs and that they
did not tolerate a Mazinger animated by others. As a consequence, the project Daimajinga was blocked.
This wasn't helped with the fact that Nagai was in the middle of a court battle with Toei, suing them for not
properly crediting him and not paying him royalties over the creation of Gaiking in 1976.
However since then the relationship between Nagai and Toei had steadily improved.
Thirty years after the start of the original program, Nagai's company Dynamic Planning released a continuation
of the original Mazinger series as an OVA—named Mazinkaiser (mazinkaizā)—in 2002.
This work would be succeeded by the movie Mazinkaiser: Deathmatch! Ankoku Daishogun,
which in some ways served as a partial remake of Mazinger Z vs. the General of Darkness.
Since 2007, several rumors surfaced regarding a new series which would be based on the Z Mazinger manga.
In February 2009, it was officially announced a new Mazinger anime called
Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z Hen (真マジンガー 衝撃! Z編 Shin Majingā Shōgeki! Z Hen?)
which later began airing on April 4, 2009.
On the 2010 June issue of the magazine Hobby Japan, released on April 2010, a new OVA series was revealed.
It will be called Mazinkaizer SKL (マジンカイザーSKL Majinkaizā SKL?).[5] The OVA is planned to have also a novelization,
which will be serialized in ASCII Media Works magazine, Dengeki Hobby, and a manga, a net manga to be published
in Emotion (Bandai Visual) Shu 2 Comic Gekkin.[5]-------- source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazinger_Zzozo-mag

These 4 Chinese characters , 大魔神我 if I were to directly Translate it means Big (Evil or Devil or Magic) God Me. Remove the Dai or Big and I never knew that Mazinger in Chinese characters is 魔神我 which means God of Evil. It's no wonder the design is somewhat devilish.

Well, in Japanese, Majin means devil. I didn't know there were such similarities between the 2 languages... |

I didn't know there were such similarities between the 2 languages... hmmm i think Majin means demon god bro not just a regular demon Mhm it actually has 2 meanings. If you say Majin followed by someone's name, it just means demon, or demonic, and it means that person is evil. or possessed by an evil spirit. But if you just say Majin, yeah it means demon god. And I found this out just 2 minutes ago. Thanks Google. How cool though, one of the best SRs out there is called Demon God Z  and what about his brother? GREAT DEMON GOD  Ok back on topic. I can see how some of the elements that were proposed for this incarnation of Mazinger transferred over to Mazinkaiser. But overall, I think they changed the design too much. I mean, what sold Mazinger Z and his brothers wasn't just the fact that they were "cool" and kicked arse like nothing else before. But also their simple, yet elegant design, which made them memorable. I can see many kids in the 70's and 80's just taking some paper and drawing Maz fighting yet another mechanical beast, and then sticking it onto a wall in their bedrooms. And those drawings were probably accurate too, after all the designs of those robots were simple. But this is quite the opposite. It reminds me of what Fewture has been doing with their EX-Gokin line... |
