Blitzway’s Black Version Boss Borot Is pure Die-Cast Filth

From Junkyard Comedy to Black-Gold Royalty: Blitzway Boss Borot (Black Ver.)

If you grew up watching Mazinger Z, you know Boss Borot’s sacred role in the mecha pantheon: he’s the ultimate lovable underdog. Built out of literal scrap metal by Boss and his gang just to flex on Koji Kabuto, Borot was always the comic relief getting blown up, missing limbs, or pulling ridiculous faces while Mazinger took all the glory.

So, what happens when you take the goofiest robot in 1970s super-robot history and give him the sleek, stealth-ops black-and-gold treatment usually reserved for legendary heavyweight warriors?

You get the Blitzway CARBOTIX Boss Borot (Black Version)—and frankly, it has no business looking this ridiculously good.

The Junkyard King Gets a Tuxedo

Blitzway’s CARBOTIX line has always been legendary for heavy die-cast metal content, insane engineering, and ratchets that click with the satisfying crunch of a luxury vault door. But while the standard colorway was a faithful recreation of the vibrant yellow-orange anime aesthetic, this limited Black Version completely flips the mood.

Gone is the cheerful construction-yellow torso. In its place sits a deep, high-gloss obsidian black coat, paired with brushed metallic silver limbs and bright crimson chest plates. But the real star of the show is the head dome: painted in a rich, pearlescent gold that catches the light like an ancient relic.

It’s hilarious, beautiful, and flex-worthy all at once. It’s as if Boss Borot decided to crash a black-tie gala, showed up in a bespoke tuxedo, and somehow pulled it off better than anyone else in the room.

Heavy Metal Engineering

Holding this thing in hand is an absolute trip. Standing at roughly 20.5 cm (8 inches) tall, it packs a massive 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) of weight thanks to its heavy die-cast internal skeleton and exterior chassis.

Blitzway didn’t skimp on the interactive features either:

• Ratchet Joints for Days: The heavy metal joints click tightly into place, letting you pull off everything from heroic battle stances to classic slapstick poses without worrying about drooping arms.

• Glow-in-the-Dark / LED Features: Integrated lighting inside the cockpit dome and chest compartment brings the interior mechanics to life.

• Expressive Face Swap System: Includes four interchangeable facial expressions—because no matter how sleek the black paint is, Borot’s trademark goofy personality always shines through.

• The Infamous Mazinger Cosplay Kit: Yes, it comes with the hilariously cobbled-together cardboard/scrap Mazinger Z mask and chest wings so Borot can still pretend he’s the main character.

The Catch? Only 1,300 Exist Worldwide

Here’s where things get tight for collectors. Blitzway capped this run at exactly 1,300 pieces globally. Unlike mass-production mecha drops that stick around on shelves for months, this was designed as an instant holy grail for die-hard Go Nagai fans and high-end die-cast enthusiasts.

Whether you’re displaying him front-and-center next to your Soul of Chogokin lineup or letting him hold down the fort as a standalone center-piece, the Black Version Boss Borot is a masterclass in how to pay homage to classic anime history while making it look modern, premium, and insanely cool.
