Kaiyodo's Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Adds Black & White Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger
The monochrome repaints lean on Go Nagai's original manga-era presentation, meaning Kaiyodo is selling the 1972 source look rather than the anime colors collector shelves usually carry.

Kaiyodo will release Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Mazinger Z New Color Ver. and Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Great Mazinger New Color Ver. through its online store on October 3, 2026 at 11:00. Both figures carry a price of 12,100 yen including tax and are based on prototypes by Katsuhisa Yamaguchi. Mazinger Z stands about 150mm and Great Mazinger about 160mm. The Mazinger Z figure has a movable Breast Fire panel on the chest, a Rocket Punch firing state built from detachable arms and jet effects, and parts for the Jet Scrander, Iron Cutter, and Drill Missile. The Great Mazinger figure recreates the Drill Pressure Punch, Great Boomerang, Mazinger Blade, and Thunder Break with interchangeable parts and effect pieces, plus the Scramble Dash wing and tail fins deployed from the calves. Kaiyodo lists these as part of its Amazing Yamaguchi action figure line, which uses articulation designed to hide joints from view. The release joins a separate wave of Ryu Hayabusa figures and an optional parts expansion pack from the NINJA GAIDEN series, priced at 12,100 yen and 5,500 yen respectively.
Both figures are painted PVC, ABS, POM and iron action figures, with prototypes by Katsuhisa Yamaguchi. Kaiyodo frames them as a return of the 1972 Go Nagai designs in a monochrome scheme, and the body lines are meant to read differently against the white and black paint.
The joint structure uses the "sinking in" articulation Kaiyodo applies to its human characters. A dedicated internal structure hides the joints so the surface keeps the hard texture of a robot toy. Each figure ships with eight optional hands, two boost effect sets and a display stand, plus a heat dissipation part: a Breast Fire panel for Mazinger Z and a Breast Burn panel for Great Mazinger, along with a chest cover on the Great Mazinger.
- Mazinger Z: Iron Cutter x2, Drill Missile x2, boost effects x6, Jet Scrander, Jet Scrander connection parts, display stand connection parts x6, display stand.
- Great Mazinger: Drill Pressure Punch x2, Mazinger Blade x2, boost effects x8, Scramble Dash, Thunder Break effect, tail fins x2, Great Boomerang, support connection parts x4, display stand.
Kaiyodo lists both figures at 12,100 yen including tax and notes the images are development samples that may differ slightly from the finished product. The same sales slot covers the NINJA GAIDEN wave: two Ryu Hayabusa Fierce Battle Ver. figures at 170mm, and an Optional Parts Expansion Pack at 5,500 yen with Eclipse Cannon, tonfa x2, Bow of Exorcism and Sacred Arrow, Crushing Fang - Enma, and Vigoorian Flail. Daiki Sugimoto F. sculpted the expansion pack, with Katsuhisa Yamaguchi as general director.
