Japan's top modeling brand Prime 1 Studio's "Ultimate Diorama Masterline" recently unveiled a non-scale diorama statue of "Mazinger Z" (マジンガーZ), designed by the renowned Hollywood concept artist "Josh Nizzi"! Both a Regular Edition and a DX Bonus Edition will be released simultaneously, with an estimated shipping date of June-September 2024.
Standing approximately 69 cm tall, this piece reinterprets "Mazinger Z," the steel demon god that has captivated countless fans for half a century. Josh Nizzi's design presents a more aggressive, intimidating, and even dark-heroic new vibe. Mazinger Z, gripping the severed head of the Mechanical Beast "Garada (ガラダ) K7," not only conveys immense power but also displays a heroic swagger with its right hand resting on a long sword. While maintaining the classic color scheme, many components feature more exaggerated and fierce modifications. The bold lines, intricate mechanical engravings, and widespread weathering across the body are all exquisitely detailed. Furthermore, the ability to see "Koji Kabuto" inside the Pilder in the head and the interchangeable chest parts are incredibly cool!
▼ Multiple light-up features are incorporated, including Mazinger Z's eyes, chest, and Garada K7's eyes. When illuminated, they enhance the statue's imposing presence.
Next, let's look at the even more impressive DX Bonus Edition content. It not only includes an interchangeable right arm part for the "Rocket Punch" (ロケットパンチ) but also Mazinger Z's Jet Scrander parts, which further enhance the main body's presence. The bonus item available when purchasing from the official P1S website is an interchangeable right arm part for the "Mazinger Blade," featuring two massive blades.
