I do.. but I cant confirm. If they are doing it, they haven't said anything to me about it.. I HOPE THEY DO A MAZ Z! That would be a good seller. There are lots of guys that will buy "any mazinger" and there are guys who will buy "any metaltech".. so, it would be sure to sell. I would love to have a HLpro sculpt Mazinger Z... Id LOVE IT!

maz is just so saturated now. i think they should stick to rare molds. they're hitting a good stride now. dont mess it up. because people WILL compare it to bandai soc maz...

I don't think it will matter, if they did it they would mostly do it for the HLpro fans... the production numbers would be real low compared to SOC figures.. the fans would buy them up and any extras they made would be snapped up by "MAZINGER Z collectors" that buy every decent Mazinger diecast that comes out. It would just be Gattiger or ZMazinger just shaped like Mazinger Z.. it would be an easy sell figure, I think they should just go ahead and do it. IF THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE HINTING AT.. this is all conjecture at this point.
I'm starting to think that this isn't a Metaltech.. its probably something else. They are just showing King Gori, why would they start teasing another metaltech this far out? King Gori is probably a year away as it is..

i actually like hlpro. i just do not want them to give the whiners ammunition for them to nitpick and find more "fatal flaws" to gripe about.
because honestly if its a metaltech then it can be compared against soc 40th anniv maz and that thing is nearly perfect to me. tons of accessories, great articulation, beautiful paints. i just love it.
the maz bar is set very high.

its probably not a Metaltech.. the timing is wrong, they have too many other Metaltechs they are teasing us with.. its gotta be something vinyl

dont let that frustrate you... like u dont know Bandai.
Before u know it, they will announce a reissue with a bundled scrander... They just wouldnt allow DX Great Mazinger to be alone in the market.. they need another DX Mazinger release to pump up more DX GMaz sales.

Well its not like Bandai destroyed the mold... its just stupid for that to happen. Its just waiting there in the factory to be used again. Think of it like.. Mazinger is out of commission for now and Great Mazinger takes over to fight a new threat of General Dark.. just like in the anime. lol

that's the only downside to Bandai, I only bought 3 of them two src's and a soc ... they make a great figure but the make a lot of them .. and they are not going anywhere, I am less motivated to buy. When a company invests so much in molds and design technology .. THEY HAVE TO MAKE A TON OF THEM to recover the cost of production and make profit. Then the guys that buy them, never throw them away, they will be here forever. Its not like it was back in the 1970s when I was a kid, we would buy a Popy diecast, play with it for a few years, then throw them away...now they are worth a ton of money because they are rare.. those days are gone. Closest thing to that situation now is CM (now gone) and HLPRO..(and HLpro will NOT be around FOREVER, when the players behind HLPRO retire, its OVER.. its not an enteral corporation like Bandai, its privately owned) I don't look at just the figure and the articulation and all that, I also look at the collectors track record. HLpro stuff consistently goes up in value with time, the only exception right now being MT01 because SO MANY of those were made.

the Grendizer is the 24" Jumbo.. these both may be Jumbos its hard to tell... they could just be saying "More Jumbos on the way"
