Hopefully, you can repair it so it is decent enough, and maybe someday you will find another one on sale.
Is there a local store in your country that sells SOC?

I know I said I would wait for the anime color version, and that GX-70SP was my favorite, but I was wrong. I got my GX-105 and I love it.  Attachments:

And nice pic. I dig the inclusion of those Mitsubishi T-2s making a gentle turn in the background.
Although . . . the JASDF didn't start using them until a few years after Mazinger came on the scene. Got any JASDF Starfighters or Phantoms? :D

Thanks very much, tiffermore!  I don't have any JASDF Starfighters or Phantoms. Yeah, I got what in my opinion was the closest thing to these that I could find in that scale:   |

Ah, wow! You're right, those are pretty close to T2s. Nice!

I could just order a new one with the refund money, but there's no way to tell if that one is gonna be ok before receiving it. There are stores that sell this SOC in my country, but they sell it for around 300 USD, and there's no way I'm paying that much (and they started selling it right after the one I ordered from BBTS arrived). This whole thing just takes the fun out of it for me, really. I'll post pics of the fixed forearm after I work on it (probably later today). |

Maybe later you can buy one used and get condition confirmed by seller, so you don't need to worry. |

Well, it's fixed. It looks great and it works fine, I can move the left arm just like the right one, pose it however I want and even fire the fist with no problem. It's a keeper!  I'll post more pictures later! |

Got mine week ago. I think it's the most accurate SoC Mazinger Z to date, and it's ok if we don't agree lol. the proportions, head sculpt, good amount of diecast, and just about everything.
I like the rocket punch gimmick with this release. it comes with all the basic accessories I need, and the packaging is the perfect size for storing..
Now I want the next Great Mazinger and Grendizer to be just like this one. I think this is the definitive ver. of SoC Mazinger Z and a must for the newcomers.

Got mine finally. I was cheap and paid the surface SAL (but for less than 900 yen), and did have to wait 2+ months for it to arrive. No tracking meant I wasn't sure if it's ever going to arrive and the savings is not worth the angst.
I tend to agree, that this one feels more balanced than GX-70, which seemed too skinny. This one is more poseable too! I haven't used any SOC stands in over a decade so having a smaller box with less junk (to me) is brilliant.
I do wish for slightly more ankle movement but it's a fun toy. One of my pilder's wings did not fold up properly when I first tried, but after some wiggling and placing into Mazinger's head the issue went away. May have been excess spruce mark causing too much friction.

Did you try pulling down on his feet to extend his ankles and get more ankle movement?  |

I can't find it in the app store. tamashiiweb.com/special/gimmick/?wovn=enA test version of the "XR TAMASHII GIMMICKS" app that allows you to play "Breast Fire" using the "Soul of Chogokin GX-105 Mazinger Z Kakushin -KAKUMEI SHINKA-" is now available for download! "Photon Power Beam" and "Lust Hurricane" will be updated sequentially! His content for the SHFiguarts "TIGER & BUNNY 2" series will be released at a later date! looking forward to! |

same here i checked, i also tried to open the link from my phone directly to the Google play page, it says "this item isn't available in your country"
well if Bandai didnt make this available world wide we need to take a serious stand against this BS, this racism MUST stop i paid money for this, in matter of fact i paid more than what the Japanese collector's paid if we count shipping tax and customs, so at least show some fairness
