It's tough, trying to match an anime but at the same time trying to make a figure proportionately good looking. Especially some of the stuff from the 70's which had some "funky" animation back then lol. I think Bandai will try and go with a hidden joint system like the CM Grendizer to give it a clean look.

it is hard to match the inconsistent look from the series and thats why they are using the ova instead, since it was more consistent in that one. and the only reason bandai is taking a long time is because they are doing their best to make this figure as close to the animation as they can make it. they even admitted the current soc design team couldn't do it anime accurate because they were 5th generation and didn't know how mazinger really looked in the anime, so they brought in a consultant to help them achieve it this time around.

Bandai could have collectors for their pick and opinion too. Either way GX 70 seems like it will be a must for Mazinger fans.
I wont miss this one.

bandai can't use collectors opinions because many collectors think mazinger looks like the figures already released or the numerous fan arts made all over. i like the intro mazinger but they never showed him full or from the front, always from the bottom up which is a perspective look instead of real look. also, the intro was changed in the second season when mazinger was given the scrander wings, and he looks different there too.

the DX is most anime accurate Mazinger ever produced from the face proportions the mouth grill and the breast fire plates, top it with the removable armor there is just no other Mazinger can do this, most of forms use the DX as a reference to explain Mazinger z internal parts, and you say its not anime accurate at all ?! ok fine your opinion and i think they totally nailed it on the GX-45, just because they designed the elbows in a way to give it more articulation doesn't mean we should ignore the other things they did right the GX-01R is questionable i totally understand that, but from all the the GX-01(s) i find it the most close to the anime along with the 40th anniversary and of course they will say we worked hard on this no one is going to say we just repaint it here and there marketing 101, so as for the GX-70 just changing colors and paint the back of the head blue wont make it anime accurate it will be just another repaint they need to change the sculpt as well and give it the GX-45 articulation to make a count as a new Mazinger

whose reality ? yours ? because you are the only person who is saying the DX isnt anime accurate at all, your personal opinion isn't a fact bandai will ALWAYS work on and make a new (repaint) Mazinger z its their gold mine, they will ALWAYS make many variety of him and call it with unique names just to get people to buy and its working every time, they dont even need any anniversary or any occasion to do so

bandai figures of mazinger movie mazingerz vs ankoku daishogun bandai is making the gx-70 from because many drawing inconsistencies in the regular show figures dont even come close to anime look! that is why they are taking years to make the correct mazinger z to please the real fans of the 1970 robot. i think you are thinking that the gx-70 is another repaint, but its a new figure, not a repaint.

Not to question an analysis that you have clearly given a lot, if not far too much, thought to... But we have no idea what the new Maz will look like. We really do not know if it is using proportions from said movie? All we have seen is a profile of the head. Everything else is pure (somewhat insane) speculation at this point. Let's settle down and wait for a reveal. Also something to note. Look at all of those Bandai offerings in that picture that you find to be inaccurate. Notice something common about them? They all are rather strikingly close in terms of proportion and details. Bandai does not simply license Mazinger. They own a piece of it. They funded the show. They have input into the designs. They know far better than we which version of Mazinger is "accurate" or correct. They may release a new one specific to the movie you like, but that does not make prior offerings incorrect. You can chose for yourself which version or design you like best. Which is your favorite on screen or which offering best matches your personal favorite. That does not mean it is "accurate" "correct" or whatever for anybody else. Your preferences do not make everybody elses wrong. Your tastes and opinions do not make the manufacturers wrong to anyone but you. You like tall lanky versions of the robots. We get that. You're welcome to that and I hope some offerings fall in line with your tastes. Insisting your tastes are gospel and everything else is doing it wrong is the type of obsessive compulsive nonsense that so often makes hobby communities unpleasant. Enjoy the robots for what they are. Quit trying to match the real world to one frame of one animated show. You will find you will likely enjoy your hobby more.

Guys, Maybe I'm misunderstanding this discussion. I didn't think anybody was necessarily stating their own opinion or preference as to what GX-70 will look like, whether it will be "anime accurate" or about what "anime accurate" means in general, or what it means to each individual. I thought this discussion was about this article, which says (Google translated): "Of the 20th anniversary of the direction of the super alloy soul Mazinger Z has solidified, it was around spring of 2014. So The punched the direction, would be to reproduce the TV animation version was broadcast in the 1970s. Even though the animation version and the bite, "Mazinger Z" of television have been broadcasting for two years, it has been changed to a variety also style in the meantime. So the planning team was heading, it was to be three-dimensional version that appeared in movie theaters that have been screened at the "Toei Manga Festival". This if ...... that the user can assume the greatest common divisor sought. "Toei Manga Festival" Screening work, especially in order to reproduce the Mazinger Z of renowned also as an all-time best of robot animation "Mazinger Z vs. the Great Dark General", planning began to move. Sketch, in which proceeds smoothly and the prototype, one of the hesitation is born in the planning team. Planning team of super alloy soul fifth generation counting from Tsuyoshi Nonaka founder. Once you say truth, not a generation that experienced the Mazinger Z in real time. Therefore, what can make the Mazinger Z, which themselves can be really convincing real-time generation? We have reached the question. While performing the seek to clear this question, one man from Hiroaki Tanaka was a second generation in charge of super alloy soul (now Bandai Candy Division) will be introduced. And that person is Mr. Kazuhiro Ochi. Ochi Mr. DVD box of the package of "Mazinger Z", has worked on the jacket illustration, I had the attitude that thoroughly to reproduce the atmosphere of animation. Its commitment not only touch, extends to the color ring. In addition, there is also the author of the full-color comic called "Go Nagai Manga Gaiden dynamic Heroes", has created a dream of Hero co-star. Thus, Mr. Ochi and super alloy soul planning team will encounter, Ochi said is readily agreed to cooperate in the development of the GX-70 Mazinger Z. At that time, almost a year from the development start of the GX-70 was passed. Further one year from here was about to begin." hobby.dengeki.com/news/240992/

You will find you will likely enjoy your hobby more. there is no choice, it either looks like the screen or it doesn't. plain and simple. bandai doesnt own mazinger, nagai does. bandai buys the rightsfor a certain time, like other companies do too.

Yeah..it has to be "PERCIEVED" screen accurate.... An ideal prortion that exist in our mind that we average out all the nostalgic screen images in our head.
One single image would make a horrific looking Z. Look at those thighs my my my.
