It's possible the economic times have hit Bandai and there releasing more re-colours than usual. Which isn't bad since we could see more black versions.

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_AngelsMinerva 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. Display base A quick recap of the Mazinger Angels so far. Please click on the thumbnails to view larger images. 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? Gold

Sure thing Gt3ian. Thanks for asking first. I appreciate it. Hehe, hot Mazingers. I think it's the paint. I don't know for sure, the figures were stored into 2 groups, yet only MA Venus and Aphrodai had problems. This wasn't a problem before when I did previous group shots. I wonder why only now? Gold

Thanks for all the pics & info Gold. This is a tremendous resource for Mazinger Angels. I liked how you added in the gashapon pics of their respective pilots as well.

Wow, this is the first time I see ALL the MA releases posed together (Is that Really ALL of them, every one ever made?) I haven't had time to view them all, but I'll come back to this thread later and save some pics so I can drool over these babes back home. ;D Great pics, and Thanks for sharing! zozo-Magengar

That is probably the best Mazinger Angel guide I've seen evarrr! ;D It's efficient too because it's all there in the box photos. The group shots are pretty kick-ass, too.
This latest angel is sort of on the back-burner for me. It doesn't come with the alternate head and wings like the other Minervas, which kind of reinforces it's impression that it was just an afterthought from Bandai. I think it would look nice with Gold Mazinger, but I dunno----to me it just doesn't scream "Buy me now!!!!" like the other angels.
Still, like the saying goes..."I wouldn't throw her outta bed.." I guess if she was cheap enough anything's possible. ;D

Thanks Magengar, yes to the best of my knowledge that's all of them, I'm having trouble finding more of the translated manga scans though. Download links. English Translated. www.dra-mata.com/manga/mazinger%20angels/?M=DThanks Mechashiva. Gold
