Bandai 12" DX Chogokin Mazinger Z -coming in December

[cjefferys]

This looks like it will be an incredible toy. In celebration of his 40th anniversary, Bandai is releasing a 12" tall DX Chogokin Mazinger Z. He has removable armour, his eyes and chest light up, he makes sounds and plays music (lights and sound are activated by wireless remote) and he comes in a huge hangar facility that has cranes and spotlights (!). Japan knows how to make toys! This thing will retail for nearly $400, but god do I want one....
