Like some had mentioned some time ago, it is a likely scenario for CCSToys to retool this Great Mazinkaiser into a Mazinkaiser eventually (they do share a lot of similarities, and about 60-70% of the parts can be re-used with new changes, like the Bandai SRC releases). But they will need a new Mazinkaiser license, which I don't know if something CCSToys wants to pursue (if not already did). Time will tell if that comes true. SRC comparison below, so it is very likely CCSToys can retool this into a Mazinkaiser as well, if Bandai can do just that. As a side note, SRC Great Mazinkaiser still aged pretty well in terms of looks (waist a bit too narrow and hip ball joint a bit too jarring, but the rest still looks good, while the Zero on the right doesn't look so hot, like a retired weightlifter no longer in his prime.

I honestly hope they Tackle the Banpresto Kaiser design I miss that version so much , we honestly got plenty of OVA Styled Kaiser already as it is I just want the OG version make a comeback . The only ones that made that Variant if I'm not mistaken is Yujin (while that's not full poseable since you require parts swap) & Max Factory version (with swappable breastplates )

Speaking of Yujin Mazinkaiser, it brings back memories, back to the time before there was any Kaiser poseable action figures, let alone gokins. Even the elbow bend needs a freaking part swap LOL. But it was my very first Kaiser, and it is the SRW Banpresto version. I probably still have it in my parents' house storage, but have not taken it out or seen it for more than a decade, maybe two.

mpchi I do hope we get a MazinEmperorG as well down the line along with other Mazingers also (Zeta Mazinger Hopefully). Maybe other Getter forms as well (Someone's bound to make Shin 2 & 3 in Metal form at some point) along with other Variants like Arc , Kirk & Khan along with a big Getter Emperor (The SOC version is very disappointing )

Still no ball jointed wrist :/ I guess it's to support swords weight... Reposting Joe Hobby's review Lejam posted in the locked thread here. Good find. After finish watching it, the sample that he got almost has perfect execution, but Joe pointed out a couple flaws: - The purple effect hands don't grab the electric effect parts well, with not a lot of friction on the soft PVC parts and effect parts tend to fall off. - Some panel lining is not particularly clean, most obvious on the red wings which are more visible. - Somehow this release didn't come with batteries. (Though Black Shin Getter 1 comes with a lot of spare batteries, I might steal those to use on this if they fit) - This one from my own observation, with the neck/head connection shares the same design as Zero (NOOOOOO~!). However, I cannot tell if the neck socket is clear plastic or not, hope it is not. I don't want another bobble head after the socket cracks. Very hyped about this figure, and can't wait for its official release! I even went and read through the manga (I only knew some parts of the story before, but not its entirety), and it turned out way better than I expected. Very dark and gritty, and some tongue in cheek nudity with tons of Go Nagai homage and character cameos (Cutey Honey, Kekko Kamen, Jeeg, Grendizer, just to name a few) throughout the whole story (I still have 10-15 chapters before wrapping it up). Probably the most interesting Mazinger story I've ever watched/read, catering old fans that knows the show, but bring a lot of new and twists so you don't feel like you are just reading the same old stuff all over again. Very great art too with a lot of energy. And when it got to the part where Great Mazinkaiser showed up, man, was it epic (though very short)! After reading the manga, I love this figure even more. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

Boy I can’t wait to get mine! Has anyone found a YouTube review in English yet? While not 100% sure, CCSToys is a Chinese company, so reviews won't get to English Youtubers just yet. And this is a review on a production sample CCSToys sent to Joe. The figure has not been released yet, as far as I can tell.

...yet he find a way to be annoying ones again, he said Great Mazinkaiser is a minor character Haha. While I don't agree with that guy (nor watched the review), I can see where he is coming from, due to Great Mazinkaiser's screen time in the manga. It was super epic! But it was also very short. Currently, I think I might even like Great Mazinkaiser a bit more than Mazinkaiser as a character in general, due to the rarity and epicness in the manga, while Mazinkaiser seem more tame in its anime/game appearances, and I have been seeing it for so long, not as fresh anymore. He has only ever appeared in a couple of panels in a manga, right? More than a couple panels. A couple manga chapters, like 50-60 pages. Chapter 14 & 15 of "Shin Mazninger Zero vs Ankoku Daishogun" to be exact, in a very high stake battle against Mazinger Zero. You can say it was the brightest point of Great Mazinger ever shined in terms of epicness, power, and the determination of Tetsuya (the pilot) in all Mazinger stories I've read/watched.

its not how long or how short its more like how you said it "EPIC"
man even Great Emperor did reach half or the epicness
what would that tell you ?
for me i dont think he knew about Great Mazinkiaser, and he googled it before doing the review, and he call him self wiki
