Chinese model kit brand TRON MODEL-KIT has once again teamed up with DRAGON HORSE for a special release of its Mazinkaiser alloy-frame plastic model kit. Following the standard edition, the companies have now unveiled the Mazinkaiser Clear Ver., which replaces the mecha’s exterior armor with transparent parts. Priced at 14,300 yen, the kit is scheduled for release in February 2027.
Mazinkaiser is an iconic super robot from Go Nagai’s classic "Mazinger Z" franchise. It first appeared in the video game "Super Robot Wars F Final" before starring in its own OVA anime series. Conceived as the ultimate machine surpassing both Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger, Mazinkaiser boasts overwhelming combat power. Along with classic Mazinger attacks such as Rocket Punch and Breast Fire, its arsenal includes the mighty Kaiser Blade and Kaiser Scrander. That imposing design and staggering strength have made it one of the franchise’s most recognizable mecha.
Based on the previously released alloy-frame model kit, the Mazinkaiser Clear Ver. replaces the original black exterior armor with transparent parts. An additional gloss coating gives the clear armor a richer, glass-like shine while allowing collectors to admire the intricate mechanical construction underneath. Standing approximately 11.8 inches tall, the model features a preassembled zinc-alloy inner frame that provides substantial heft and finely sculpted mechanical detail. The chest, head, and both arms also feature magnet-activated LED light-up functions, creating a dramatically different effect when paired with the transparent armor.
The kit once again comes loaded with weapon accessories, including the Kaiser Blade, Kaiser Bayonets, Shoulder Slicers, Kaiser Shields, and multiple attack effect parts. Collectors can recreate the weapons being drawn from Mazinkaiser’s chest and shoulders, while select armaments combine with a dedicated connector to form the massive Ultimate Kaiser Blade, measuring approximately 16.1 inches long. The signature Turbo Smasher Punch can be displayed using the included arm effects, while the fully deployed Kaiser Scrander reaches an astonishing wingspan of approximately 37.4 inches. With the dedicated display stand, Mazinkaiser can be posed soaring through the air with its wings spread wide. Every weapon can also be mounted on the maintenance rack, letting the clear armor and metal frame take center stage in a mechanical display unlike the standard edition.
