I been wrong many MANY times. Still, here's MY two cents...and that's EXACTLY how much it's worth haha. I think IMHO, Sentinel was at it's best at Riobot Shin Getter. A Perfect balance of reinterpreted design and still maintaining its great proportion. Here, the proportion is so off its "odd."to me. The lower half is so short looks like top and bottom half is from different robot... And his face...its looks so meek, so young and "inexperienced" looking? Haha. Lastly, The tech details on his body now looks uninspiring..looks like after thought...Again, Shin Getter detailing looks like it belong there, but this looks lazy and just arbitrary. Now let's compare this to Bandai MB Infinity and the new Eva line...just on looks alone, so I wont get burn for comparing apples and oranges. Well, In short, Bandai is catching up in ALL fronts and Sentinel needs to offer stronger then this. Bandai is known for ruthlessly completely overtaking any and ALL competition... The only issue is that MBs are released at a snail's pace, especially if they can't reuse parts from earlier figures. That said I may be interested in this Maz, but I think Im still on the fence about pulling the trigger on it.

new photos (only made it uglier lol)
whats with the Dr. Otto Octavius looks ?
tho i like their creativity with adding new features and ideas in the classic look, still i think its one ugly looking figure, mainly in the head sculpt and over all proportions

I'm n ot that excited about this design. Seeing how the Riobot Grendizer is still easily available and even clearanced at one point on BBTS, I think I'll wait on this figure.

It uses the same knee joint design of Riobot Grendizer. Ugh. It doesn't look good at full bend.

The Sentinel Mazinkaiser is one of my all time favorites, but for some reason I'm just not a fan of the panel lines on Grendizer and Mazinger. I think maybe they make the designs look too busy for me.

Just c/p of what I wrote in a FB group yesterday;
"It's weird that I of all people am wishing this were LESS stylized as it's a decent base mode but the acting like the fist mode isn't a big part of it and trading it out with some Gundam Deathscythe plus Doc Oc bullsh*t disturbs me."

Maybe one of their artist/designer left or they are giving these projects to fresh blood..idk, theae just seem oddly designed even by their standards...i hope devolution getter 2 and 3 are in pipeline...these dont interest me, bandai has way better designs for maz

They are going small... they are also doing a 12cm govarian (I need that one for my go nagai collection but it's way too small)... I hope they give us a good neo getter to go with their shin getter. I like this mazinger but my gx01 anniversary already filled that spot in my collection. It's nice to have new option if someone doesn't like the arms or turret mode it can be left with the wings spread like the shin mazinger manga.

The biggest problem I see with this design is that it looks really squat with them super thick thighs. Bandai’s Metal Build version looks way better, with its sleek slender design.

I love what sentinel is doing with this guys, introducing new and unique ideas for the robots. Makes the figures something more than just another redesign

I do like the bat wing, the finish looks stunning.
AND the Sentinel paint job is beautiful as usual.

I was thinking that this line has a very similar aesthetic to the Infinity line so may be... they were trying to set themselves apart from what bandai is already doing.

Just the Doc Oct Turret that got me puzzled, as well as some parts of the sculpt. If the wings turn into the Big Bang Punch, but with some side gimmicks/modes on the side, and some tweaks on the face and body, that would have been a homerun for me.

I might just unbelievably dumb but I just realized the scranter is supposed to be like a bigger set of breast fire fins. That's so awesome
