    However imperfect, at least it allowed us to see a version of Mazinger Z. Generally the story of anime in the 'States from the 60's till the 90's.

    That is a lot of Mazingers.

    100% Original stuff is always better but Americanized stuff brought it to our attention. I was joking.

    I finally decided to track down a SOC Goldymarg. Is there any difference between GX-69 e GX-69R beside the gold paint?

    For someone with no access to Bandai Stores and can only rely on Jap Online stores - yes they are good and legit. I have more pre-orders from them than any other online stores. They are quick to answer questions too. Mind you, their shipping costs are handled once your items have arrived, in which you can group them or send them individually. I find their shipping prices are competitive, and they charge you exactly the same rates posted on Japan Post website.

    I think its just the Gold Paint, so if you don't have the Star GaoGaiGar Option Set (GX-68X - The ultimate version), then just get the normal GX-69.

    I've been buying from AE for the past 2-3 years and have had 0 issues. If you ever need to contact them, just make sure that you email them directly via [email protected] because the contact button on their site is damn near useless.

    Funny, I've always use their "contact" button and have gotten response each and every time, maybe 1 day of wait at most (or more during Japan's public holidays)

    Which joint specifically is loosening? There's like 4 joints in that area. If you can point out exactly which one, I'll take a look at my copy and check.

    Hmm good question, i'll have to check when i get home. But from top of my head, its the right shoulder where it droops down... so it can't maintain at an angle upward, so i think its the joint that is closest to the center

    Yes. No issue in over 10 years. Maybe close to 15.

    I didn’t realize this was a thing until this morning. Apparently, a Transformers/Mazinger Z crossover story was released a few years ago. In the story, Ironhide develops a thing for Aphrodai A, lol. I’ve thought about getting one of the Mazinger girls, and I found Aphrodai A to be the most interesting (something about her fishbowl head). Now I have an excuse to get one for my Ironhide shelf!
