So a random question. I heard that the new Mazinger Z JM is slightly smaller than the original. I seem to recall a similar comment long LONG ago about the UniFive Mazinger Z. I think then the complaint was mostly due to not being able to use vintage JM attachments.
The obvious point of curiosity being, is this ‘new’ Mazinger just a repop of the UniFive JM?
