PRESS: "Unbox Industries are truly honoured to present our latest collaboration with the legendary Go Nagai and Eric So. Eric has kindly re-envisioned the mighty Mazinger Z under license from Dynamic Planning in his own iconic style.
Go Nagai's team immediately approved the figure and have allowed Unbox to not only produce the figure but also allowed Eric to add his artistry to each individual Mazinger figure.
Eric will personally hand paint & sign this very special "distressed" version in his beautiful, meticulous style.
Each version will be unique so please anticipate differences in the final application, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a Eric So original!"
Hong Kong designer Eric So depicts a MAZINGER Z figure now reborn as a chubbytubby of a giant robot, for a Go Nagai tribute show. Working again with Unbox Industries, the piece comes complete with faux rust, and frankly would make an utterly awesome collectible to be had (with the chunkiness reminding me of his Phase2 figure, which I adore!).
Check out more pics - including perhaps the "size" of this piece, along with a fun video of the figure in action :)
""Why did I paint a rusty, dirty Mazinger? He's an abandoned giant. I know him when I'm a child, he is the first robot in my life but he faded from memory. Now 46 years later he returns to me..."" - shared Eric So.
