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.

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

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.

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.
