T9G's Mazinger Z figure & other new kaiju prototype!

The fantastic KaijuMonster blog pointed out the above pieces, which they are reporting on as new T9G prototypes. The images are taken form T9G's Instagram feed and, denoted with one of the images, is "マジンガーZ by S9EZ." マジンガーZ (Japanese trans. "Mazinger-Z") is certainly the inspiration for the overall design, but I'm not certain why S9EZ are being referenced… this has none of the trademarks of their style, though maybe it is a collaboration of sort. Time will tell.

Of absolute certainty, though, is that the above pictured piece is a sculpture for a release that T9G is currently working on as well as a drawing of the work's inspiration.
