Bandai's SD Cross Silhouette line are "super-deformed" robot kits with snap-together pre-colored parts, stickers, interchangeable "gimmick" pieces and are nicely articulated. The build is simple, the final product looks good, and is a lot of fun to pose and re-pose. I've gotten a couple of Mazinger-universe figures, but most of Bandai's SD line seems to be Gundam-related. The kits sell for less than $20 each and would be a great way for youngsters to experiment with figure model building.
Mazinger Z comes with alternate hands, a rocket-punch effect piece, a detachable scrander and pilder with foldable wings. I think the finished model looks great, and I had a ton of fun putting it into different poses! I need to get a base for flying poses, and I need to color in the face mask grill with a black sharpie to add a little more detail. The sword is from the Great Mazinger model, but looks cool in Z's hand as well...
