I have to admit, I'm supremely impressed...to celebrate Go Nagai's 40th year as a manga-ka, Bandai is making a Soul of Chogokin figure of Energer Z, the "prototypical" version of Mazinger Z. For those who don't know, it was basically the rough version of Mazinger; the biggest change was that, instead of a Pilder, Kouji rode a motorcycle up its back, sort of like Dianan A. Nagai ditched the idea because Kamen Rider came out around that time and he didn't want to look like he was ripping Ishinomori off.

Once more, wow.

That's a really cool design. It'd be nice if it got used in SRW or a manga someday.

Well, he was Ishinimori's apprentice when he started out.

About motorcycles, its hard to find a 70s anime that didn't have protagonists with motorcycles. Even Devilman and Jeeg had them. :P

So is this the only 40th anniversary product to be released? I have the 30th and 35th anniversary books. Not sure if I'll get this too.

Hm... looks nice, I especially like the face and the yellow highlights, but, with that thing on its back, there's no way a Scrander can dock with it... _ _

Actually, the Scrander can dock under the silver... thing. I think. Or "attach" itself from the sides.

Looking sharp. Sorta surprised they'd go so far to make this, but I'm glad.

Who needs a scrander? Just give it a motorcycle.

The silver part is the actual ramp which Kouji would use to get his motorcycle into Energer's head.
