weng, mind revealing the price for your heavy buy? should have no issues becos no one sells it locally. e
if u want the great mazinger, can approach uncle ng. he brings in daigokin only if his customers request for it.

its a long and hard road to collect the mazingers now as all price are as obsence as XXX shows...
And to complete the entire collection, there's 6 edition to collect..
Normal,Normal with color varient, black, TrUs , silver , gold.
But I just simply love the TrUs edition..

my daigokin mazinger is now displayed in my office beside my IN-OUT tray.
I caught my secretary using my daigokin as a dumbbell to train her biceps. She says she's been looking for 2.5kg dumbbells for some time, and there is now no need for her to go to gym. I dunno whether to laugh or cry.

Feb 3 2005, 12:56 AM
the arms of grendizer looks a little... lacking...
marmit hasn't got a great mould for grendizer but they have a kick ass mould for Gaiking... if they continue this line, Gaiking's probably next... provide the skip the likes of Jeeg and Getter cos the have the moulds for those as well...

with this amount of diecast, marmit does not need mould, articulation, accessories, packaging or marketing to sell the daigokin series.
marmit know that there are people out there who will pay insane amounts for the feel of that cool heavy precious feeling...ahh

well...at 2.5kg my arms feel tired holding it.
the daigokin black mazinger is a good alternative to the GX-01RB though. dun think i want to buy any more mazingers after this.

it'll go well with a GX-01B at the foot of it. ng used to display it that way. one big one and one small one...

Daigokin Great Mazinger is the heaviest, because it beats Daigokin Mazinger by a whopping 1kg! compare the 3.5kg versus 2.5kg on the box!

ben, this is serious s**t man. Great MAz is 3.5kg! That is ridiculous! With Maz at 2.5kg I am already on high. At 3.5kg the feeling is unfathomable. At 3.5kg, the Great MAzz must be SOLID diecast???
With Daigokin who needs chogokin?

graduating from SOC someone? no la, these are good to put at the back of the display cabinet as the towering "pillars". but they're not very poseable... that's a slight downside...

if you closely examine your daigokin mazinger z, or every pic of the same, you will realise one flaw:-
the pilder on every daigokin mazinger is slightly tilted towards the left of the mazinger, and is not situated in a central position on the head.
look carefully at all the pics here. heck. just look at my avatar.
at first i thought it was a defect on my piece. later i looked at the pic on my box and realised it was a design flaw. then i saw all the pics on the internet and realised every one is the same

at this rate i am going to be bankrupt
marmit took 4 years to produce Great Maz Daigokin after announcing it
so it should take another 4 years for Grendizer Daigokin to appear
kane
Feb 3 2005, 11:19 PM
erm, from mould to final product takes about 1-1.5 years.
the mould for great mazinger came out early last year...
artspraken
Feb 3 2005, 11:20 PM
oh...i thought mazinger was in 1998, so it took more than 5 years to come up with great maz.
so marmit is gathering steam on the daigokin line?
kane
Feb 3 2005, 11:25 PM
what do you think??

they can't let Bandai milk all our money with SOCs leaving nothing for themselves right?
besides, they have done the plastic range for all the main characters. shape is out. just need to identify the area for screw joints to whole the monster together...
