Super Robot Chogokin - Mazinkaiser

Here comes the emperor who can surpass God and Devil himself, Mazinkaiser. It is one of the most prominent mecha in the Super Robot Wars series.

Out-of-box content. Nothing much to see here.

Front view of Mazinkaiser.

Close up on the front. The detail is good for a SRC figure.

Rear view.

Close up on the rear. I can see my own reflection from the glossy finishing.

The detail on the face was nicely done but the Kaiser Scrander seems to be lacking.

Let us flex some muscle!

Double Smasher Punch!

Fire Blaster!

Knuckle Sandwich! Nope, this is not canon.

This figure comes with 2 Kaiser Blade. I have no idea what is the over-sized blade for.

Every Kaiser needs a sword.

The once land-bound Mazinkaiser can now fly.

Mazikaiser was released right after Shin Getter 1 and this complete the duo. This Mazinkaiser figure was one of the best figure from the Super Robot Chogokin line. It is really rare for me not to rant about something but Mazinkaiser here is very much a perfect figure. It has great articulation, good finishing and has a good amount of accessories. If I have to be picky, I guess my only issue with this figure was the price tag. Retailing at around USD80, it was expensive for a Super Robot Chogokin figure. That aside, it is a must-have for any Mazinger or Go Nagai fans out there.

Enough talk. Time to draw our blades!

Despite his feminine look. Griffith was actually a good fighter.

Figma did a great job translating the Griffith character into a figure. This figure have full-range articulation for all the joints. The finishing was top notch. My only complaint regarding this figure was the hair and the cloth which make up the cape. There were not enough detail on the hair pieces to suggest that it was actually hair to begin with. As for the cape, a cloth cape will certainly make it a lot flexible for posing but it looks cheap on this figure. All in all, Griffith was a figure which was targeted at the fans of the series so grab one if you are loyal follower.
