You didn't happen to ship to Aramex hong king did you? Because if you did god help you your screwed. Thier is a shipment fee has to be paid by the receiver other wise the shipment will be held for 3 month by sf express and despised off after that. Your only option is contact king arts and explain the situation or contact Aramex. Past experience hurts. i stopped using Aramex ages ago their prices became insane, and its not fair to pay for a whole KG when your shipment is 520 Grams i only use them in a very rare cases

The problem with king arts is the shipping company they use ask for the receiver to pay cash only when the item arrives and most forward address companies refuse to accept the shipment if it's has fees on it. King arts do offer international shipping.

I really don't know which company will deliver my package, since SF Express website is all in Chinese! I will give it a week until I start to worry. You can track it here www.sf-express.com/hk/en/If you shipped it directly to your home then their is nothing to worry about.

Wile everyone was busy with Metal Mazinger Z (got one thank you very much) Finally done reviewing this guy. overall the figure is nice although it has it's issues. first the box is done nicely. you have the option to cut the front and display the figure inside the box. the figure itself and the accessories which are plenty. the manual and warning label. very simple but not that helpful. the exclusive piece. not worth the 50$ asking price some retailers does. the figure itself. from afar it's looks great, eye pleasing. here is my first grip. this side doesn't aline if you move him or swivel him. need littlie work to get it but it's doable. this fist is just . thankfully I didn't find any other paint defect. YET now strip him down and you see my other gripe with it. those pigs are just . I don't think its meant to be displayed like this. but hey maybe you like it. you can make cool jojo poses with it. the palder. sadly no Koji in it the armor pieces (like his pants here ) are all plastic with little magnets inside if him. that's why his lite even with his full armor. he does have some diecast. mostly his legs, arms upper chest but it's mixed with APC. love the LED gimmicks. as you can see from the photos his eyes, chest, rocket punch and jet scrander has nice light effect in it. to be honest. the main reason I got him is for this look. it's very beautiful and eye pleasing and this how I intend to display him. for size comparison here he is SOC Mazinkaiser. (the DX Mazinger is in storage so sorry ) my final thoughts: is this figure worth getting. at the price I got (245$ plus shipping) yes. it's basically two figures in one. it has a good size and loads of accessories. but and there's always a but. the quality control is not good on some places (like his fist), some pieces kept falling, the manual is too simple and no koji. hope this review help. I will definitely buy other figures from them as long as the price is good. some tips for those who interested: 1. this piece is removable but be careful and don't pull too hard. 2. to install the jet scrander follow the pics. the manual doesn't tell you how. going to sleep now. bye

Thanks so much for the pics and review. I think I will cancel my preorder for him. Just not worth the ¥34,000 I was going to pay HLJ for him. Anyway, here's hoping Bandai rereleases DX Mazinger Z, maybe with battle damage parts(ha, yeah right!).

thank you for your efforts shintitan it answers most of my questions, i wont be getting this guy at least not now, over all the DX is just better so i cant see me getting it over things i dont own at all also i guess there is the GX-70D will be Bandai answer for this, it got anime looks and diecast all over, true this got more than the GX-70D, but it cost much more to get

Anyway, here's hoping Bandai rereleases DX Mazinger Z, maybe with battle damage parts(ha, yeah right!). lol dont lose hope bro, i think Bandai will do damage parts as a TWE parts and they will release a full Packaged DX + damage parts, they did it before so i dont see why not here, they may add an R version too, its just a matter of time till today i still get offers for my DX, but its not for sale its the crown of my collection

Thank you all for your kind words. Definitely not worth ¥34000 or $400 for the exclusive. $250 is max what is worth and no way this will substitute for the DX.

You can see them in the third pic under Mazinger Z in the package. Easy replaceable. I think it's just standerd warning. Don't worry about it.
