INFORMATION
The popular "SHOKUGAN MODELING PROJECT" series of assembly model candy toys , published by BANDAI CANDY, the candy toy division of Japan's Bandai Toy Company, has announced that the latest product "Mazinger Z" from Go Nagai's classic robot work " Mazinger Z " is expected to be released in April 2026.
In the animated version of "Mazinger Z," in order to stop Dr. Hull's ambition to conquer the world, Dr. Juzo Kabuto spent 15 years secretly building the super robot "Mazinger Z" powered by photon force and made of superalloy Z. However, Kabuto Juzo was attacked and killed by the Iron Mask's army at the beginning of the story. Before his death, he entrusted Mazinger Z and his will to fight against Dr. Hull to his grandson Kabuto Koji , who used powerful weapons such as photon heat rays, diamond flying fists, diamond flames, etc. to resist the mechanical beast army sent by Dr. Hull.
The "SMP Mazinger Z" is constructed using a variety of molded parts to create a figure approximately 13.5 cm tall . The model's color scheme is inherited from the "Chogan" toys released by the animated series, creating a rich, silvery feel. The small fighter "Command Boat" is also meticulously detailed, and its wings can be recreated with interchangeable parts, allowing it to be combined with Mazinger Z's head.
Mazinger Z has a refined design that remains true to the original, with flexible articulation. The pull-out hip joint expands the lower body's range of motion, allowing for poses like kneeling high and performing the iconic Diamond Flame. The wrists can be detached from the elbows at any time, allowing for the re-creation of the "Diamond Fist" attack.
