This version of Mazinger Z is being distributed by Good Smile Company and was created by threezero, a sister company of threeA to which if you haven't seen either of the stuff these guys create you should click those two little links. The new Mazinger Z was given a more Frankenstein-ish look, with a painted rustic tone that gives you the feeling like he's gone thru hell and lived to tell the tale. The figure stands at 16" tall and is fully articulated down to the fingers.
My initial feelings of the revision are that he looks kinda clunky but in a cool way. I prefer the older original Mazinger Z as the inner kid in me just loves his sleek and mechanical look. This one on the other hand will probably eventually win me over especially with his cool slicer blades that actually close.
I can't unfortunately give a full review of the product as it's a bit on the pricy side, about $300. So if there are any nice people out there who would like to donate a little bit of money or just full out buy me this lovely piece I'd love to do a full review of him. Until then, I'll be saving 1 penny every day which by my calculations will take about 82 years, without calculating inflation, before I can purchase this cool figure.
Back at ya buddy!
