I hope someone can post a pic side by side with DX Mazinger. This is the closest I came across. Looks like Mazinkaiser is shorter than DXs.

this is one of the reasons i skipped it, it doesn't go well with the DXs or anything else in my collection (maybe the MB Mazinger & Great), but still i think this release is good over all and worth getting but for me, im in no rush for a DX Mazinkaiser

Even CCSToys size is too big for them, and Sky X Studio's is even taller. This is indeed an odd size to release in.

Heads up! I just got a notification from Show Z asking me to pay my balance for this figure. Looks like it’s finally getting a mass release!

Scale wise it Should Tower over the MB Z & Great also his aesthetics kinda matches the Infintism build (Minus the blue hands) I'll hopefully post Pictures next week for him next to the MB Mazingers (the Carbotix one will Tower over him) but it's nice to see the more Mazinkaiser stuff , I'm still hoping for a Banpersto version down the line tbh :/ .

How come i just bought it last month from Thailand when I was in my vocation 🤷🏽♂️ Since you are the only person who seems to have this figure in hand, could you measure from the feet to the top of the scrander and tell me how tall this figure is with the scrander on? I am buying a display on Monday and want to make sure the figure fits. Thanks for the help

I am buying a display on Monday and want to make sure the figure fits. Thanks for the help It’s almost 30 cm without the scrander (I just checked it and put it back myself before) I guess add another 10 to 14 cm with scrander I really got amazed by this figure but I didn’t have enough time to play with it .

Well, just got my figure and I could not be more pleased with it. The size is just perfect and all the gimmicks work as described. I wish they would shrink it and make it the official SOC or even better yet, would love to see a company blow it up into a 36” or 48” like the ones we saw on ebay some years ago

Pros: - Size
- Quite hefty but CCS weighs more despite of being smaller
- Scrander/booster is quite easy to put on
- When the scrander is attached, the figure is still able to do some ab crunch poses
- Very strong light from the LEDS
- Articulation is OK but could have been better
- Solid display stand but the base is very big
- Decent amount of accessories
- No issue when it comes to the breast plate
- Nice removeable armor gimmick
- Can stand properly while the scrander is attached.
Cons: - I feel that the plastic used is not that great when it comes to quality. I don't know but that's how I feel about it when handling the toy specially the scrander.
- The yellow plastic used in the eyes are not that great. There is something off when it comes to the way they engineered the eyes. When the LED is turned on, it is so bright to the point that the eyes are no longer shining with yellow light but a cool shade of light instead. It is better to have the LEDs off due to this issue.
- No option to turn on the LEDs in the chest/eyes only. I wanted to have an option wherein I can opt to turn on the LEDs in his chest only since the light in his eyes are so bad.
- Very bad battery placement and on/off switch. Turning it on/off while the scrander is attached is impossible.
- Armor panels in the crotch keeps on popping off when handling or posing him
- Be careful when it comes to extending the top part of the main scrander piece (not the wings). My hand accidentally bumped on to it while handling the scrander and it is now so loose when extended. Something inside probably got broken but it is still somehow attached. Better not extend it since it doesn't really do anything and is not really noticeable compared to the non extended mode. This might also be due to the plastic quality used.
- Very poor waist swivel
- Loose side to side torso bend
- Right out of the box, I find his lower half not properly aligned to the upper body. The line at the middle of the missile armor plate is not aligned to the torso. That is how I was able to tell that it is not aligned somehow.
- I am not a fan of how the leg joints can be extended. I find it hard to align both legs due to this and is affecting how he stands in an A pose. It really feels like he is not in a straight A pose (one leg looks shorter). It could have been better if there are multiple levels wherein the joints can be extended (ratchet). I am not sure if it is just me but I often observe this issue in many diecast robots (metal builds/GFFMC/ThreeZero) and it is really bothering me.
- One of the effect parts for the turbo smasher punch does not fit properly to his arms. QC issue I believe. The other one is ok.
- The head articulation is kind of limited. I am not also sure if it can be removed since there is an x mark in the manual when it comes to the head.
Okay so I listed a lot of cons but I still enjoyed playing with this Mazinkaiser. With this, I will also be getting the Getter 1. One more thing. Be careful of his arms! It is very sharp! It got me...

Thanks for the detail Pros & Cons. I don't have the figure myself, but gets a very solid idea of it just reading through these.
