This kit is Great Mazinger released as part of the Mechanic Collection line. It follows the same format as its predecessors Mazinger Z and Getter 1, and is based on the shared Mechanic Collection frame.

Since it's essentially the successor to Mazinger Z, the overall option lineup is pretty much the same. Features like the Brain Condor detachment on the head, the Scramble Dash (wings), and the Rocket Punch are all reproduced just as before. Articulation and joint strength also follow the Mechanic Collection frame's characteristics, so you get the same average articulation and stiff joint feel.

In short, it's basically Mazinger Z with a new look — everything else feels identical. About the only new additions are the index-finger-pointing hand and the two Mazinger Blades.

At ¥1500, it's a great value kit that delivers impressive visuals and a variety of features. If you've got fond memories of Mazinger, building this alongside Mazinger Z would be a lot of fun. :-)
