personally i think every jeeg that has been made was a failure. bandai is the only hope to make a good one. and yes i owned the cm (?) verson too. it was floppy and weak all over brand new. i sold it for a loss just to get rid of it. You're never going to get a perfect Jeeg to Gokin standards. The problem is Jeeg was created based around a toy gimmick. The Magnet joints. So it's hard to have a good or accurate Jeeg without them. But they will always be floppy. ET has probably come the closest to making the concept work. But it is still a far cry from well engineered hips and knees. Those Magnet themed robots, Jeeg, Gakeen and Battarack are always going to have a few issues baked in as high end collectors Gokin, Simply because of the nature of the toys they were created to be. I own all three CM's magnet joint toys, and agree, Gakeen and Battarack have issues, but personally, I was very suprised by Jeeg. I feel like the joint designs were some of the best of the bunch. I never had a problem get Hèfé to hold a reasonable pose. (Gakkeen and Battarack were much tricker). I just wish Jeeg's rocket punch wasn't held by a hair trigger. Haven't had a chance to play with Jeeg's air sea land set, but I honestly believe Bandai will be hard pressed to create a better Jeeg (especially with all the option parts)

I personally prefer this scale ...I guess it's ok. A few millimeters don't make much of a difference. I guess I am just used to thinking Kaiser was huge compared to Z Thanks for posting this picture. I've been thinking this for a while now... is it safe to assume that the CM's grendizer is the most scale toy when placed with SOC Maz Z? Or maYbe SRC Maz Z + SOC Great Maz?

Did Mazinger spend a long lost weekend in San Francisco?

Yeah, this is extremely well done mod by one of our esteemed artist member here...a pro quality. Very VERY true to the source, something Bandai could have done.

It looks a little sparse on detail, but I'll wait for official images before judging.
On a mostly unrelated note, I opened up the Riobot Mazinkaiser yesterday, and this thing is gorgeous. I didn't think I'd ever get one because Sentinel priced it beyond what I was willing to pay, but I was lucky to find a preowned one on AmiAmi for something like 24000 yen before shipping.

"B" condition, which is basically "opened but like-new" in my years of experience with AmiAmi. I didn't get the satisfaction of opening a brand-new figure, but I'm happy nonetheless given the price that I paid. This is further off-topic, but I really wish Sentinel would upgrade the quality of the packaging on their high-end collectibles - the thin cardboard and plastic trays rather than styrofoam take away from what should be a premium experience.

I don't know why but to me the Aoshima Gohkin looks more anime accurate than this SOC ! I like it but for whatever reason it feels like a SRC more than SOC

This may not be the anime version. Mazinkaizer had many versions before it became an anime series. Most toys tend to not capture the more chubby anime look, but rather the video game or manga counterparts. That might be the case here, so is the SRC.
