A sloppy paint job on the chest [a problem, I've heard, with the second run only] and a tendency to, well, unweild are the only minor complaints I have. Otherwise, this guy looks killer back to back with SOC Mazinger. Thank you Hobby Project!

Matt Alt Sez: The box lists the toy as being in the "Meisaku Series," but there's a joke here. You probably know of the chogokin "Meisaku series," the Popy pieces that include Ohgon Bat, Astro Boy, and a bunch of non-anime related fictional characters that was released in the late 70's. The translation of "meisaku series" means "masterpiece series." (these are all shown in the Green Arrow book.) Boss Borott, on the other hand, is from the "meisaku series," but with a different kanji that has the same phonetic reading - it's now the "lost creations series"!
