TAMASHII NATIONS, the collector's toy division of Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS Company, has announced the latest product in its completed statue series『Figuarts Zero Touche Métallique』, the「Double Mazinger」, based on Go Nagai's classic manga "Mazinger Z" and "Great Mazinger." It is scheduled for an initial release in Europe in 2026, with release dates for other regions yet to be determined.
"Mazinger Z" is a super robot built by Dr. Juzo Kabuto before his death to combat Dr. Hell, who sought to conquer the world. Piloted by his grandson, Koji Kabuto, Mazinger Z endured countless battles and finally defeated Dr. Hell. However, the vast force lurking behind him, the "Mycenae Empire," was just beginning its invasion of Earth. To counter this, Koji's father, Kenzo Kabuto, created another, more powerful robot, "Great Mazinger," based on Mazinger Z. He trained the orphan Tetsuya Tsurugi as its pilot to defend Earth in place of Koji Kabuto, who had gone abroad to study. As powerful enemies like the Great General of Darkness drew closer, the two finally reunited in the latter half of the story, realizing the thrilling scene of the two great Mazingers fighting together.
The「Figuarts ZERO Touche Métallique Double Mazinger」recreates a scene where Mazinger Z unleashes its Breast Fire and Great Mazinger wields its Mazinger Blade, bringing to life the thrilling sight of the two main mechs fighting side-by-side. The overall design differs from Go Nagai's original version, instead closely resembling Ken Ishikawa's "Legacy of Terror of Mycenae" version. From the extremely robust body and limbs to the spiral patterns visible at the joints, it shares design similarities with "Getter Robo." Furthermore, plating and color applications are used to convey a heavy, mechanical texture.
