Mazinger Z Set B

Now I know why these things never sold that well.

Back in the day when Diamond was importing a lot of Japanese toys, you could find these Kubrick toys at various comic book shops across the country. I never bought them, because I was never a fan of Kubrick as a rule, but I stumbled upon a forgotten set at a comic book store in SF a while ago. I felt the need to rescue it.

Like I said, I don’t normally collect Kubrick, but I do have a soft spot for Boss Borot. I figured at the very least I’d get a cool Boss robot out of it.

I should have kept with my first instinct and passed on it.

This is set B of a three set series. This set includes:

• Aphrodai A
• Boss Borot
• Baron Ashura

Aphrodai A features a generic Kubrick body with a new head and a rubber vest that wraps around her. This vest has a tendency to hike up and look odd.

Boss Borot has very little actual Kubrick in him. The legs are one solid piece, and the top part is a shroud that covers the upper half of a Kubrick body.

Baron Ashler is the most interesting of the three, with a cloth cape and weapon.

The set also includes clear stands that lock together, as well as part of a colored backdrop. The stands are useless as the pegs are too big to fit, and Boss has no holes on his feet at all.

Lets just forget this ever happened, shall we?
