The fire coming out of the forearm used for attachment has been modified. The one on Mazinger Z was shorter, causing many sensitivity issues, and it was very easy for the firing mechanism to activate on its own. They have dono a good job this time cause it was a pain in the ass...   The question is, how long will those clear plastic last, before aging and cracking since it is constantly under spring pressure, and we know how strong clear plastics are. This design works for the Jumbo Machinder, due to the size and material (big clear orange vinyl, not brittle plastic), but I don't know about on a smaller SOC. |

I think these attempts to recreate the old features of the original toys are a misjudgment by japanese producers, driven by a desire to romanticize the past. I doubt that many modern collectors are truly interested in these features, especially considering the fragility of the materials used. This hybrid approach, blending the concept of a high-end chogokin with the nostalgia of vintage toys, ends up feeling somewhat lackluster and misses the mark. |
