Ok like it! Only gripes. The stand support plug in the whole connection is not very secure and there's no way to really tighten the screws there is tight as they go the other thing is the belt seems to open up the slightest touch if you have to get it in a certain exact position this is on both of mine so I know it's an engineering thing. Other than that it's a very very nice toy it isn't as articulated as the others but I always go for looks over articulation anyway here's a couple pics   |

They use the round the waist support here but the arm won't hold that weight and certainly not if they used the pegthe peg... this is no SRC it's too heavy, also the SRC peg would be even stronger the peg they use as this one teeters on a small raised line on the peg .. and you can't use it with the scrander anyhow.. the whole system is terrible.. and I rarely care about in the air poses but this toy could use that.They include even another sturdier arm which is just as bad as it doesn't completely seat flush and lurches forward causing peg to detach! it's a lot of system and parts plus time wasted for something that doesn't work

Been playing around with the GX-70 Mazinger, and have found several drawbacks that bug me, and that I will try to fix in the future.
1. The knees do NOT rotate! Damn! This was key to making the figure look great in several poses.
2. The Scrander Belt does not like to stay closed. WTF Bandai?!!!
3. Mazinger's head does not rotate sideways more than 30 degrees, so forget about posing Mazinger looking to the side 90 degrees (Doublas grabbing Mazinger's arm in the intro). The actual neck doesn't even rotate, period!
4. The thighs do not rotate all the way. Another huge drawback for posing.
5. Hate the metallic red on the Chest Plates. Will be gone soon.
6. Hate the gold in the eyes and horns. Horns I may be able to live with, but no way with the golden eyes!
7. Drill Missile attachment sticks out of the forearm, but it should be flushed. Bugs me tons!
Time to get "fixin'" this guy...

Thought head was just on my two! Wtf up with that? And you literally have to keep his abdomen in an EXACT position to keep scrander belt closed on figure! I found out if you pull back on top of scrander by the pointy radar part or if you stick something between it and the back it stays better so they messed up on the measurements that means, his waist needs be smaller or belt a bigger size..Mine stays closed without help but at an exact degree..
To tell the truth almost all Bandai scrander belts are off, INCLUDING the DX! Also on the DX weight of the belt with the wings pushed back or forward forget which is worse causes belt to pop off with a touch or it's natural weight I had to use a couple pieces of paper on the DX connection plug to get it to stay in,even on shelf it will pop out while ON the stand! Great Maz DX design is a bit better but not much! _A screw on Scrander be way better for that weight.
Back to the D.C. I'd much rather have a part that looks like the belt to pop on and off on tummy to mock a closed yellow belt clip! It's ugly when semi opened!Then just use a strong SRC type connection,along with a closed faux belt part..
