This Mazinger was a reissue in conjunction to Go Nagai's 40th Anniversary celebration. It spotted a different colour scheme which was more fateful to the original anime series.
It would have been very difficult to find this figure nowadays because this have been out for years even if you are willing to sacrifice your first born to the devil. I consider myself lucky because I accidentally bumped into this while I was honeymooning in Hong Kong a while ago. It was slightly more expensive from the retail price but it was worth it. I told the shop assistant that I wanted to look at the figure and once everything was proven in order. I paid up in cash without looking back.
The articulation was good but not as impressive as the later Ex Gokin releases. The paint job was nicely done but there were still some flaws here and there but it was not too prominent. I was reluctant to pose it aggressively for I was afraid to chip off the paint during the process. My only issue with this release was the lack of accessories. The original release came with the jet scrander and 2 extra hands with cutter on it. In order to complete this figure, I will have to hunt for the add-on parts separately which will most likely cost me another few hundred bucks. That aside, this is a great release from Fewture and it is a must have if you are a Mazinger fan.
