Description
Hello, everyone! I'm back in full effect with a little something I thought would be fun to do. My buddy, , suggested I do a Mazinger Z piece. I'm actually more of a Great Mazinga fan, so I started working on it, but I'm also a huge fan of Mattel's line of Shogun Warrior toys, so I took my Great Mazinga, Gaiking, and Dragun toys off the shelf and did a fun group shot. So, here it is, the vintage Shogun Warriors version (not the cartoon) of three of the coolest toys I own, in poses that were impossible to do with the actual figures. Anyways, thanks, Adolfo, for inspiring this!Related content

Awesome rendering style! I also had the big plastic Great Mazinga toy and a smaller die-cast metal Dragun back in the 70s. It was a cool toyline, much more than Micronauts!

thanks...mazinger never ceases to amaze me. Just a few weeks ago, before onemanga closed up, i saw that its fingers could also retract and serve and thrusters to reverse its rocket fist.(it needs a way back to the arm other than some kid's hand.)

yea, i think the mazinger z/great mazinger/great mazinger's hand was either a fist with rockets coming out of its knuckles, or out of its finger tips....

Fingertip action in full effect! Your memory serves you right, man!

I desperately wanted the giant-size Mattel figures as a kid. But, no.

Oh yeah, it was kind of silly that Mattel put the robot's name on the belt. And in Japanese, what were American kids to think of what that meant. Anyways, thanks, and Merry Year of The Ox, buddy!

well, i remember my first turtles-toy had in all descriptions and characterprofile all in english - it took a while till they had german stickers to put them over it on later runs. probably mattel had a bigger status in japan in the seventies so you have an original first run of the production
yepp, the wishes go back to you as well - donΒ΄t let be a year of bull..

One of the best ever! Now I want to open my presents tomorrow, and see these inside ^_^

Yes, I lived that moment back in 1980. Hope you got what you wanted this year! Hope your holidays have been great!

Oh yeah! Nothing like giant robots for the Holidays. Sweet work! Is that vectorized?
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yeah, robots and Christmas, the perfect combination. Vectorization? Man, that's your territory, I'm strickly Photoshopin', but speaking of your specialty, I'm working on a "WarDogZero try-out piece". Hopefully you will do me the honor of embellishing it, should you deem it sexy enough. Merry Tomorrow!

That looked vectorized to me. Once you're finished e-mail it to me.
