I don't know what that is but it's really fucking cool, and I want one.

Oh, yeah, that Great Mazinger/Devilman hybrid. I've seen it before, maybe at Toybox DX. Post it over there and see if someone knows what it is.

It looks like one of the various Mazinger designs. It doesn't match any one that I've seen precisely, so it could be a bootleg.

Might want to ask the Toybox DX guys.

It is a great mazinger bootleg. It has a z on the chest and was released like this as well as opaque painted version (I have both in bags!) and I would assume there are probably more than one painted colors. It essentially styled to look like a henshin cyborg, but predates all the new clear inserted toys by years. An amazing bootleg.
