Super Robot Chogokin!

I know that this post is a couple of days late, but this new line from Bandai still deserves top news.

Our favorite toy maker will be releasing its Super Robot Chogokin line starting with Mazinger Z — was there any doubt on who would be first (and second, for that matter) in line — on the 6th of August, 2010.

It's not as loaded with metal alloy as their Soul of Chogokin merchandise, nor is it taller — 140mm for Maz this time as opposed to his 160mm SOC brother — but it surely is equal in aesthetics and articulation, if not better.

The box includes option hand types, an Enhanced Rocket Punch for the left hand (only) and Mazinger's sword.

Sharing equal release date is Mazinger Z's Weapon Set — yes, it is sold separately as an add-on, yet the particular set makes Maz a definite pleasure to pose (and photograph).

Based on the pics above, you'd be getting the Enhanced Rocket Punch for the right hand (makes sense, huh? Although the pic above shows two left hands ^_^), the Jet Scrander, and four Effect Parts for the Rocket Punch with the set.

With Maz introduced, could Great Mazinger be far behind? I didn't think so, too!

The release includes option hand types, the Scramble Dash, two types of effect parts, and Great Maz' sword.

SRC Mazinger Z is pegged at JPY 3,675, his weapons set at JPY 1,050, while Great Maz is going for JPY 4,725.

I can't wait to get my hands on these two! d{^_^}b
