Big big thanks to a fellow ptker Swaldem for getting me these when they were released in HK..
Great things come in small packages!
thoughts on the figure:
It's a pain to put the pileder on maz's head, took me about 3-5mins. just to put it in place, the pileder is tiny, plus the sharp edges of the pileder's fins and maz's earhorns make it scary to force the issue.
very nice clickety joints, its like a revoltech figure but not that annoying or scary to pose, that paranoia of breaking a ratchet joint won't be felt on these srcs!
Love the metallic colors of the breast fire plates, the scrander wings, as well as the gold trim on the kyoukagata rocket punch. They are very shiny, its like socs meets saint cloth myth shiny goodness..
Lovin' the package as well as the peek-a-maz window.
Be careful of maz's chin and his neck, the ball jointed neck its so poseable that maz's chin paint CAN be scratched on his own neck, yep, happened while I was putting on the pileder, make no mistake guys, remember how hard it was when koji was trying to dock the pileder on maz in the anime? You'd get that same sensation on these here src.
The rocket punch effects is really not compatible with socs.
As for the diecast parts, I'd say its about 50% of the figure, specifically the chest, and shins (blue part of the legs). Aside from that I think there are diecast parts inside as the hip joints are solid diecast ball joints. It's true that the figure is light as opposed to regular socs, but when you hold it, it feels like a real soc, an soc that has been shrunk. Although its a few hundred grams lighter than socs, its also proportionally heavy given the size, its like how the transformers ths-02 convoy feels, small but solid.
Take note though that these are my own personal thoughts, others might have other opinions on the toy.
that said.. on with some funshots!
With SRW Buddies (sorry, too lazy to add more mechs on this pic)
These srcs are not replacements for soc, but they sure are awesome to play with, and great for dios too, really tempted with changing my displays from the usual static with bases to an srw free for all diorama battle!
This is the best mazinger out there right now, If bandai decided to 2upped this one, and release him in SOC form, its another Maz I'll surely welcome!
Based on one of my fave eps of Mazinger Z, before the jetscrander upgrade, Maz had to resort to using Aflodai-A's rockets to fly and defeat his enemies!
Rocket Punch!!!
Another great classic Mazinger Z collectible.
Here's hoping the Photonic Research labs/institute SRC base pushes through!
