AlexGdD Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Hi all, After posting pics of my childhood hero Grendizer, I'm sharing some of his cousin Mazinger Z ! He's one of the most famous giant robots of Japan, and I tried to get his proportions right while maintaining great posing value, with joints on all the important places - it's been a challenging build ! I'm very happy with the result - so much that I made some adversaries for him, such as Doublas M2 : When the fight gets very intense, Mazinger can suffer - Here's what he looks like, inspired by the fight he lead in his final episode : And I'like to share a special version I made, inspired by the proposal seen on the Lego Car Blog to build in yellow and blue, which prompted me to make a symbolic gesture to support democracy : The fight is hard. War is ugly. But these cartoons - Mazinger, Grendizer - taught us life is more important than everything. And freedom is paramount. You can see more pics on my Flickr album ! Alexandre Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 Fantastic MOCs... the super villain is simply amazing! Quote
AlexGdD Posted March 30, 2022 Author Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the compliment ! I've just updated my build with two less shoulder joints. It's a bit less poseable (can't cross arms anymore) but the overall look is more muscular / sexier ! And the updated Garada K7 for those who like a Very Bad Guy : More updated pics on the Flickr album ! Enjoy ! Edited May 2, 2022 by AlexGdD Better quality image ! Quote
AlexGdD Posted April 15, 2022 Author Posted April 15, 2022 Ah ! Ah ! Interesting challenge ! I'll try to find an elegant way to fold the forearm and get Mazinger into firing position ! I'll post the result when done ! Quote
AlexGdD Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Hi all, I've worked on those Drill Missiles ! Not as elegant as I wished (they are not articulated) but it was the most compact system I could think of. And while I was at it, I worked on Mazinger's other weapons : The Missile Punch ! The Iron Cutters ! And the Reinforced Punch ! Hope you like them ;) Edited May 2, 2022 by AlexGdD Better Quality pics ! Quote
Marcin Majkowski Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 This villain reminds me a creatures from power rangers 😀. Mazinger is also simillar to Zord. Great work. Quote

AlexGdD Posted May 19, 2022 Author Posted May 19, 2022 Mmmh, I must admit I thought about this. But even though I'd love my figures to become a real set, I used a few illegal techniques that would not pass the TLG board ! Quote
AlexGdD Posted May 30, 2022 Author Posted May 30, 2022 Hi all, Mazinger fans might be interested in my new MOC, a rendering of God Mazinger, a "rock" derivative of the famous Super Robot : The Anime series was cheap and not very popular, but an interesting point in the Mazinger saga anyway ! Quote
MontyMatte Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 I don't know enough... Where do these characters come from? They look great! Quote

I've updated my Mazinger build which has just been admitted in Lego Ideas as the Mazinger Z Trilogy ! Perhaps it could become a real set one day !!! Thanks for convincing me it was worth it ! Quote

Already supporting it Quote
Kiwikid333 Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 This set is really awesome! My son is a huge fan!! I was wondering if it were possible to purchase the instructions from you? Would really like to build it with my son.... Quote
AlexGdD Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 Hello Kiwikid ! Wow, I'm very honoured to have a fan !!! ;) Right now the project is on Lego Ideas, so I publishing instructions would not be fair if to Lego if ever goes in production. Perhaps I will create instructions if it does not get the green light... (Still more than a year to go, though, so you'll have to be patient !). In the meanwhile, you can support the Mazinger Z Trilogy project and help it get more supporters ! You'll find it there : https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a32ec0b3-33a9-4e91-bcf3-b56883a42815 Thanks in advance ! Quote
