Whew! After being delayed since September(?) Ankoku Daishogun is out.
The pics show the Overseas Limited "pearl" black version, comes with Dr.Hell(OVA look) and has Dark Blue Stripes(as opposed to "regular" version with blue green stripes and has Baron Ashura). The "Regular" version is the one in the Mazinkaiser vs. Ankoku Daishogun oneshot movie.
I prefer this version since the "pearl" finish works on this toy(I didn't like the "pearl" Mazinkaiser though) and the Dark blue stripes are just awesome.
DarkGeneral:I'm here,let's start the party!!
Everyone else:............Oh Sh**...........!!!
Even though there aren't that many joints, the look and feel of the toy is impressive It kind of gives an impression that the toy looks a high end statue(thanks to it's finishing), but is made of diecast and has articulation.
My only major complaints are that the sword isn't chrome(I smell "reissues with chrome" down the road again from Miracle House)
(Eh? Where the hell's the chrome??)
.... and that the "clips" for the General's shoulderpads look fragile
The toy itself is big! almost 9-10inches I believe. And the weight of the toy clocks in at 1.1Kilos!!! (Mazinkaiser only weighs 680grams, 800grams- wings on)
Another thing about the toy that impresses is that the skirt plates can move individually( and them's a lotta skirt plates) The material is soft plastic I think. Speaking of material, for those who're curious about the cape, it's made of soft plastic, something similar to the ones DC Direct uses on their actions figures(only thicker) and is attached by inserting a "backpack" with a peg through a hole in cape and into General's back.
Hehe, this pic took an afternoon of Photoshop work to get right.(Amazing whayou can do with Tetsujin's "broken" arm accessory)
Enjoy
;D
