INFORMATION
The popular movable model series "AMAZING YAMAGUCHI" developed by Japanese model maker Kaiyodo announced that the latest product "King Kong Daimajin" from the 1974 animation " King Kong Daimajin " is expected to be released in December 2025.
The "AMAZING YAMAGUCHI" series is a series of movable models directed by Kaiyodo's famous prototype artist Katsuhisa Yamaguchi . It uses the highly acclaimed REVOLTCH joint parts to provide an extremely flexible range of motion, and can be combined with a variety of accessories and special effects to play out the extremely dynamic fighting poses in the original work. Following the return to the origin of " Mazinger Z ", a sequel is launched again: the great hero "King Kong"!
"AMAZING YAMAGUCHI" is sculpted by Katsuhisa Yamaguchi based on the animation setting , with a classic refined armor shape. The body is a circle larger than the previous Mazinger Z, and the smooth armor surface is painted with matte metallic color, showing a heavy texture. The biggest selling point of the product is that while the integrity of the shape is not damaged, the rotating technology joints are set up in various parts of the body through precise movable divisions, which can be played with as if the human body activates the muscles in various parts of the body, and are flexible and powerful. Some of the parts use a special structure without movable mechanisms, giving them the hard feel of a robot toy.
The product also comes with a variety of weapons and special effect parts to reproduce the various well-known moves of King Kong, including "King Kong Lightning" fired from the fingers, two sharp "King Kong Swords", "Spiral King Kong Flying Fists" shot from both fists, "King Kong Boomerang" thrown from the chest heat plate, and the flying unit "King Kong Wing" mounted on the back. It also comes with a handshake part that is linked to the previous work " Mazinger Z ", which can reproduce the famous scene of the handover of the two machines in the last episode of "Mazinger Z".
However, since the chest heat sink of King Kong is an integrated part, the heat sink must be divided in this product to reduce the interference of the shoulder joints and arms, so a very conspicuous cross-shaped dividing line appears in the center of the heat sink. If you feel that the dividing line is a bit abrupt, Kaiyodo has also launched a pre-order bonus "Heat Radiator Plate (Heat Radiator State)" limited to official stores (Kaiyodo ONLINE STORE, Hobby Lobby Tokyo/Kadoma Store) . In addition to the seamless one-piece shape, the mechanical internal structure and luminous texture are expressed through transparent parts and paint.
