Good Smile Company is re-releasing the MODEROID plastic model of Mazinger ZERO from 'Shin Mazinger ZERO vs Ankoku Daishogun' in January 2027. The kit, originally released in September 2024, stands approximately 155mm tall and features articulated joints. It uses molded colors, pre-painted parts, and stickers to reproduce the color scheme without painting. The high heat plate and ZERO Scrander on the back are made of clear parts, and the ZERO Scrander is detachable. The model includes a gimmick that reproduces the opening and closing of the face, along with open hands and gripping hands. The prototype is by T-REX, with production cooperation from Sentinel, Nakano Haijin, and Tetsuo Sakata (HRG). The price is 7,500 yen (tax included), and reservations are being accepted until September 30. Shipping is scheduled for January 2027.
- The re-release follows the kit's original September 2024 run, which sold out and has been out of circulation since.
- Good Smile Company lists the model as an assembly plastic model at non-scale, with the 155mm height measured to the head.
- The face opening and closing gimmick is tied to the "primordial and final demon god" concept from the source manga, which depicts Mazinger ZERO as the origin and end of all Mazinger units.
- The ZERO Scrander's clear parts are meant to evoke the high heat plate's energy effect, and the wing unit can be displayed separately from the back mount.
- The kit includes both open hands and gripping hands, but no weapon parts are listed in the product data.
- Production credits list T-REX on prototype work, with Sentinel, Nakano Haijin, and Tetsuo Sakata (HRG) handling production cooperation, the same team credited on the 2024 release.
- The copyright line credits Go Nagai, Yoshiaki Tabata, and Yuuki Yogo, plus Dynamic Planning, for the original work.
- Reservations close September 30, and Good Smile Company directs buyers to its product page for ordering details.
