Japanese toy brand Kaiyodo is set to delight robot enthusiasts with their new piece from the AMAZING YAMAGUCHI series, featuring the legendary robot Mazinger Z. Widely anticipated after the prototype reveal, this dynamic toy will impress upon its official release, slated for October 2025, with a suggested retail price of ¥11,000 (Approximately $75).
As a pioneer of super robot genres, Mazinger Z has remained an iconic figure since its debut in the ’70s. Today, thanks to the AMAZING YAMAGUCHI series, it’s reborn with extraordinary articulation that brings it to life once more. This fully articulated figure stands at 15 cm tall (Approximately 5.9 inches) and is made from a mix of PVC, ABS, POM, and metal, mimicking the original anime’s sleek and powerful design. The figure boasts of Kaiyodo’s signature rotational joints, allowing fans to pose the robot in human-like dynamic actions, offering a “super articulation” aspect rarely experienced with traditional Mazinger Z toys. The joints are crafted with unique structures that break away from conventional designs, enhancing the playability of this remarkable robot toy.
The set includes a variety of accessories that complement Mazinger Z’s versatility. It comes with eight interchangeable hands, two Iron Cutter parts, two Drill Missile (ドリルミサイル) parts, six jet effect parts, the Jet Scrander with connection parts, a display stand, and six additional connectors. The Jet Scrander can be displayed in flight mode and transformed to showcase both early and later forms of the series, allowing fans to recreate multiple iconic scenes with an array of effect pieces.
Official images depict this model with a striking metallic paint finish and intricate joint details, hinting at a promising tactile experience with the toy. Fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to enjoy this amazing piece.
Additionally, those purchasing from the official Kaiyodo store will receive a bonus accessory: the beautiful gradient-coated “Blazing Fire Parts” (ブレストファイヤーパーツ), showing Mazinger Z in a high-heat state.
