I do like the detail on the Pilder. Very nice. Me too! I like that the windshield is clear plastic, and not just blue paint. |

Heh, how funny. New Mazinger's coming out, and we almost talk more about the older releases  Yeah, classic Maz got 3 SoC molds over the years, 01 was the 1997 original, 01R was bigger, partly redesigned to look closer to the source material, and 01R+ (which was re-utilized for the 40th anniversary edition) is identical to the 01R, except for the meaner-looking head. GX-70 appears to have received the greatest number of improvements though. Best looking 70's Mazinger Z I've ever seen in chogokin form, no doubt. |

the Jet Scrander is absolutely beautiful and very accurate they nailed the crimson color  also the GX-70, i cant find an angle that make it looks bad Yeah, classic Maz got 3 SoC molds over the years, 01 was the 1997 original, 01R was bigger, partly redesigned to look closer to the source material, and 01R+ (which was re-utilized for the 40th anniversary edition) is identical to the 01R, except for the meaner-looking head. you forgot the black versions and the gold one  |

you forgot the black versions and the gold one Well, those are just repaints right? They share the molds with the standard releases. I was strictly talking about molds, and there have been 3 of those in the past, 01 01R and 01R+. And for different types of Mazinger, Bandai did make new molds, giving them new series numbers, like GX-07 and GX-45. But I think this is the first time that Bandai gave a new number to old classic Maz. This is practically a whole new mold, they didn't just upgrade the old gokin, this is.. something completely different. And superior. |

he is probably counting all that have mazinger name in the box, like gx07 and shin mazinger which are mazinger but not classic anime mazinger. thats what i said, classic Mazinger are 7 figures in total also we are not talking day and night difference between them its mostly minor changes nothing major like Grendizer & Grendizer Giga for example I like the old GX-01R headsculpt more the 40th Ann. I have. wanna swap ? just pay me a $100 + the 40th anniversary and we got a deal lol jk bro Arent they the same? I thought it was the same mold only repainted. tiny changes nothing major before the gx70, classic soc mazingers are only 4 figures: gx-01, gx01r, gx01r+, and gx07. repainted figures should not count since the are the same figure in different color. shin mazinger is not classic mazinger z. energer z and iron z are not mazinger z either. |

Ive read somewhere (long ago) that there was a joint improvement ? in the black and the gold versions in your point of view the GX-01R 40th anniversary could make it as new mold (head) actually the GX-07 is based on Mazinger z from Mazinkaiser ova so i dont think it will be considered as a classic Mazinger z, but we can put the 40th anniversary instead of the GX-07 and why repaints should not count ? black Mazinger were in the 2nd episode of the classic anime  , even if the mold is the same its still Mazinger z its like you are saying the GX-45 and the GX-49 are the same figure |

if you are considering the GX-07 as a true classic then Shin Mazinger MUST considered a classic as well, they share the same line in the face (eyes & around the nose) and the U on the bottom of the chest not just that but even some characters have the original design from the manga here is a fact for you, Toei suggested a redesigned face with the breast fire plates and the removal of the U on the bottom of the chest to make Mazinger more appealing which Nagai approved on but he started the manga already, that's why you will find the face we know on the most manga covers, because changing the robot design suddenly will confused the readers so they kept that design but not for the anime, the reprints in 1994 had the original design on the cover tho also the very first Mazinger Z (the true classic) didn't had a hover pilder it was a bike but to avoid the resembling with Kamen Rider Go Nagai came with the Hover pilder idea, however the bike idea didn't die he used it on Diana A and again in Energer along with the original design (so the classic design became Energer design) well magengar isn't here anymore unfortunately, but i know the man he didn't tell myths or rumors, i guess Bandai didn't know the purchasing power of Mazinger Z fans the black version sold out well so why not doing other robots, which sold well also but not as Mazinger Z and here Bandai understand what they are dealing with, why you think Mazinger z is the only robot who have ton of repaints in both SOC & SRC while other robots hardly have any thanks for the link man didn't understand a thing except Mazinger Z, Jet Scrander and Go Nagai here what i noticed, the eyes didnt change colors when she remove the Jet Pilder  , and if the silver parts are diecast this will be awesome they talked about Golion and Daizujin @ 1:38:00 (Golion before Daizujin) |

While they were presenting Maz, a few other robots were mentioned (don't know the reason, though). Getter Robo, Jeeg, even Groizer X, all mentioned.
Maybe Bandai will make more Dynamic Classics in the future.. it makes sense that they're starting with Mazinger Z, just like they started the SoC and SRC lines with Maz, to gauge market interest. Who knows..

I think I paid about $140 for the GX-02R couple of years back.
Now, if we could just get reissues of Diana and Venus!

Who knows.. Good catch Mech. Youre right. The presenters mentioned DC as a "series" Numerous times. And Bandai already announced DC devil man.......although as a SHF. Getter Robo, Jeeg (come on Bandai) and Groizer X..they all belong in Chogokin DC category. As well as the reception of Mazinger DC is getting, Im VERY hopeful that we will see those mentioned above. Vote with dollar guys! Lets get our wallets in gear. |
