Face lift.
I saved the best for last. The head is where the real differences come out. The head has a non-removable headship just like the 3rd version Mattel Mazinga, but it is very different. The head is more rounded with the tops of the headcavity rounded off. The Headship/Brain Condor is rounded off to the point of looking totally different from the Mattel Mazinga. The horns that curve upward on all other Mazinga's, point straight out like the horns of Mazinger-Z and are red rather than yellow. It would appear that the horns and headship are one piece. The eyes are gold stickers rather than painted yellow like all other Mazingas. The mouth vents area is also a sticker and the vents are not molded into the head. The head to the left is from the "silver" Nacoral and the head to the right is the "gold" version.
The "silver" version head is molded from a very dark blue plastic with details painted grey. The Brain condor is molded from red plastic and has the cockpit painted black not blue like the standard mazinger (note: this is the only paint on the brain condor, it does not have the wing stripes that the standard mazinga has). It has a silver sticker for the mouth vent area.
The "gold" version head is molded in a very light royal blue, slightly thinner plastic and has no painted details. The Brain condor is molded from red plastic and has no paint details. It has a gold sticker for the mouth vent area.
