On the other hand, how you pose these things- while <em>very</em> articulate- is not a perfect imitation of how robots usually pose.

I was under the impression they were about 6 inches. I'm actually posting this because I've never seen one in person,and I was going to mail order one or two super robot ones,but if they're miniscule,I'd probably just go for some cheaper candy toys or gashapons or some such.

They could've least hidden those big choppers with mouth-pieces, like they did with the Getter Robots. Oh well, I'm still going to get them both... I wonder how good is that micro-revoltech line going to do with figures sooooo small. The main complaint people have about the regular Revoltechs is that they are not big enough. Just imagine what they are going to say now! }D Well, I am a die-hard Mazinger fan, and know everything about it (them)... ;p The Fewture Mazingers look good and all, but there is something just wrong with having any Mazinger sporting "teeth"... it is not the way these things should've been made!
