That would be the Soul of Popynica Hover Pileder and Mazinger Head. If anyone has pics that they are willing to share, I would like to see them. I am debating on whether or not to get them.
Thanks in advance!

I have both and I love em.
The Pileder is a real nice piece and is mostly diecast. Koji is articulated and fits nicely inside or posed outside. The canopy of flips up and there is a slide button on the bottom to retract or deploy the wings. It comes with a stand that you can display it on.
The Mazinger bust is cool but it's not nearly the same quality as the Pileder. It does have a cool feature where when you dock the Pileder, the eyes light up via a button at the base of the inside of the head. Half the time though, it doesn't press it enough to turn on. It is a cool feature regardless. The head is made of PVC and is a pretty nice representation. If I have any quibble about it, it's that the face seems a bit wide and the top of the head noticably wider than the anime/SOC versions. When the Pileder is situated in it you don't notice it too much.
I'll try to take some pics of it in the next day or so and post em.
Worthwhile purchases for sure, espcially considering that the PX01X is getting pretty hard to find nowadays.

Nice pictures, dude
Thanks for taking your time and give us a "visual" review of the PX-01 and PX-01X.
Have a nice day, pal.

Glad that you guys liked em. I was happy to take the pics.
Grab the PX01X if you can Carlo if you have a lead on one because most of my asian contacts say that it's getting harder and harder to find, even over there. I got mine off ebay for around $85 or so but I've seen them go up to $100+.
best,

I had never given the pair much thought until now. Holy cow, they're amazing! I've been told the head is particularly difficult to find, not to mention expensive. Is this true?

Yes, the head was pretty difficult to find through retail channels. In fact, I got ripped off by eBay seller "Dadapon" who said he had it in stock and then never sent it even after I paid (but that's another story). I asked a few contacts in HK and Japan and they both said that it's pretty rare nowadays so your best bet is eBay. I would say that a high price for the head would be about $140. I paid about $85 for mine. j*ryu I had never given the pair much thought until now. Holy cow, they're amazing! I've been told the head is particularly difficult to find, not to mention expensive.

Nice pics, Jryu! I did have both but I was disappointed with the absence of any diecast on the Mazinger Head and ended up selling it.
