Mazinger Z Damage

For the 50th Anniversary of Go Nagi's most legendary giant robot of all, Hikari Toys released this mega cool Mazinger Z Damage sofubi (soft vinyl) variant. Burned, blasted, scarred, and a rocket arm completely missing-- Mazinger Z has definitely seen better days! I totally love these "damaged" versions of toys though, for example Star Wars has done it a few times with a battle scarred Darth Vader, as well as some Stormtroopers, but man, applying this concept to one of the mighty Shogun Warriors really tops 'em all! This was another great recent find, and though unbagged / loose, was still a steal at a fraction of the current online cost. I kind of get the feeling (much to my joy) that the seller didn't realize this toy was actually supposed to look like this, haha...

He might be missing a rocket fist but you can bet it is buried deep in the gut of some giant monster!

That's a really cool sculpt and the paint blast damage is cool too!
