3 ¾" DIE-CAST KOUTETSU JEEG & COMIC SET

3-3/4" Die-Cast Koutetsu Jeeg

This is a comic and Marmit 3 ¾" die-cast set I purchased at our local hobby shop which was released in 1999 by Dynamic.   The sticker on the packaging says Koutetsu Jeeg and Mini Metal2 which I believe is a line created by Dynamic for Machinder figures such as Getta Robot, Mazinger Z, etc.   As a matter of fact, Getta is also shown on the cover of this comic with Jeeg.

Super Robot Comics has 28 pages (cover to cover) in B&W.   The gist of the comic is Jeeg fighting a beast, fires his Knuckle Bomb and Spin Storm weapons, eventually getting smacked around.  Getta Robot comes to the rescue and defeats the beast.

The die-cast model has some moveable parts; limited movement at the neck, shoulders, and hips.  This is a very nice looking model as you can see in the photo.  Yet another fine addition to my collection.

SUPER REAL FIGURE MACHINE PRIZE

This is a machine prize that I received from Clay Enniss eons ago which is made of hard rubber.  Each figure is packaged in a bag with a photo sheet (above) and encased in a "egg-like" shell.  I have Panzeroid and Ga-keen and hopefully someday will have Jeeg, Plus & Minus, and Balatak.

Each figure stands about 3" in height and comes in various pieces which connect together to create each figure.  Ga-keen also came with another set of arms with posts so that Plus & Minus can be attached as weapons as depicted on the sheet above.

I added some magnets to Ga-keen's feet since he has a natural "lean".  Neat little toys in my opinion!

Ga-keen, Plus, Minus, Jeeg, Panzeroid, and Balatak

Well, I just received the rest of the gang from Clay on the 15th of May!  I don't know what it is about these figures that has caught my interest but they are a must have.   These figures come with various appendages (minus Panzeroid) and are listed below:

    Ga-keen -- extra arms with posts for Plus & Minus attachments
    Plus & Minus -- extra arms
    Jeeg -- extra arm posts for his drill attachments
    Balatak -- extra head and arm post for his drill attachment

I spent a few hours tweaking these figures to include magnets under their feet as well as outline the grooves with a black multi-liner pen.  You can see the difference in the photo of Panzeroid & Ga-keen and the group photo.  I tried to make each figure appear as it does on the sheet and think I've accomplished this feat.
 

SUPER ROBOT JEEG (SR-05)

I've had my eye on this guy as long as I can remember.  But with a retail price of ¥7,300 I just kept passing it by.  On 9 January 2001, I noticed that he was placed on sale and I couldn't pass up this deal and purchased my first Machinder figure.

The box is huge measuring 11"x6"x20" with the figure standing at approximately 15" tall.   This is just one of 7 Marmit Super Robot figures which has very limited articulation; feet, hips, shoulders, elbows, and fists.  It is a nicely painted figure but has one noticeable problem.  He has two right feet.  Someone made a mistake or was trying to be funny :P  He stands up just fine so I'm not upset with the fact that I have a defective figure.  It's all good and all Jeeg!!
