Currently distributed by DKE Toys with a SRP of US$85 - so do check with your fav retailers for availability. I sssoooo wanted the OG-edition, but perhaps now I may have to do with the Dark Version instead. All good in da toyhood, I suppose :)

Mazinger-Z is a Japanese manga and anime series originally created by Go Nagai, in 1972. When Phalanx, a design and creative company in Taiwan, developed a brand-new platform toy called "Mr. Power" in 2008. They then invited the Japanese toy designer, Touma -- well-known for many of his popular toy designs including the Knuckle Bear resembles the graffiti style of an human-like bear, together to create a new image for Mr. Power and Mazinger-Z , the "Power Mazinger-Z."

The design of Power Mazinger-Z keeps the essence of Mr. Power's figure shape and the essential elements of Mazinger-Z. Touma also adds in his signature style, such as the big teeth with the beastly smile and the fire pattern.
