Yep, deifinitely another "Mazinger Angel" coming this December but it doesn't say which one exactly (as they're still working on it?), but i guess it's more than likely indeed a Mail Away figure.


On an interesting note, looks like the site also confirms the existence of more "Rare" SOCs (sigh )

As, always. Thanks for the great info and updates, sir Gold!

I find the Minerva X color not appealing, but who knows it might grow on me...... I'm not complaining about the color scheme since I think I'll end up buying this one even the color is not attractive...... (hope it comes at a reasonable price)

Is this limited/exclusives/mail away? (crossed fingers, let's hope it's not)

[Gold]

Thanks Mazingaa, I think it could be a mail away figure from the second volume of Mazinger Angels.


Incidentally the name of the variant is "Shining Shadow Minerva X".

The Gx-09SS Minerva X Shinning Shadow.


Box





Well, here's yet another in a long, long line of mail-away figures for Bandai's Mazinger Angels line. This time though, it seems the core of the body is primarily from the Aprhodai A Snow White version.








More info on the original Mazinger Angels

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazinger_Angels


Minerva X Shinning Shadow hails from the Sequel : Mazinger Angels Z



In the sequel, Kikunosuke Abashiri, from Abashiri Ika (another one of Go Nagai's works) is the main heroine and newest member of the Mazinger Angels team.


I'm a little sketchy on the details (as I got this item from secondary sources) but as far as I know, you need to mail in coupons from two succeeding volumes of Mazinger Angels Z manga to avail of the mail-away promo.



Mazin Blade



Breast Fire!!





With Energer Z



Double Breast Fire!!!!




In the manga, Minerva also used the Drill Spacer to take down enemies.

A quick recap of the Mazinger Angels so far.

Mail-away madness!!! To get these figures one had to purchase Mazinger Angels Manga and/or magazines to get the coupons and mail them in with payment to get the toys (me, I just went the secondary market route, less hassle since the offer and shipping doesn’t apply outside Japan)








I’m pretty sure I have a Hikaru Makiba (from Grendizer) Gasha figure somewhere to complete this set, I just couldn’t find it in the storage boxes

































Angels go!!!!




One weird thing though. The paint on the head and wrists of my Mazinger Angel Aphrodai (orange) and the hands and Queen Star of my Mazinger Angel Venus started to become wet and rubs off on touch. It's kind of gross really, like touching wet paint, both are stored in seperate areas of the house and never displayed, the other figures are fine. Anyone else encounter this?
