so they focus on the 50th anniversary of Mazinger z and decided to revive some of the classic SOC figures along with new ones
GX-08SP Aphrodai
GX-10SP Boss Borot
GX-011SP Daian A
GX-25R Garada K7 GX-26R Doublas M2
the new stuff
GX-105 Mazinger z Kakumei Shinka
and GX?? Ankoku Daishogun
still the DX SOC Grendizer is nowhere
i think its time for me to take a trip to Japan and beat some Bandai officials

i hate to be the one who give the bad news but i dont think Bandai will reissue the DX Mazinger it was an anniversary release and it was limit
of course we will never know for sure but there is no hope for it
from my understanding SP stand for Special Paint
could be wrong tho

The SP is Special color- looks like metallic/pearlescent paint. The Aphrodai looks to be straight reissue of the previous GX-08 40th Anniversary. Could be wrong though, hard to tell unless someone does a side by side comparison.

I think it is very minor paint color differences from the 40th. The new one looks a little more magenta in the red/pink areas. The 40th the color is a little subdued. The new one looks brighter. But that may just be the lighting. And congrats to those who have been wanting a Boss Borot forever. He's a sweet chunk figure.

You can achieve many poses, and they have a good heft. The only problem I have with mines is that three of them have sticky heads now (paint or plastic, don't now why, I don't know if it was a problem with regular releases too). Other than that I love them....

for those who owns these females robots are they any good ? do you recommended getting them ? pros and cons would be nice and appreciated I have most of the regular color ones and a full set of the metalic chrome Mazingers Angels ones. They are nice pices, if a bit small. They are early SOC Jointing. So it can be a bit funcky. Especially the elbows where you can achieve a Z shape. The limbs are thin and a bit delicate. But they are mostly metal. The biggest negative is they absolutely 100% need the included stand for display (although a Bandai 6" figure stand will also work). They can't really stand up on their own. One other caveat. The fully chrome plated Mazinger Angels. These are dust magnets like I have never seen before. I thing there is some faint charge brought on by the electroplating process, but you can clean them today and tomorrow they woill be fuzzy. Two days later they are completely hairy. Even when in a case.

The female bots are good. Dated, basic, but very decent. Spring loaded boobie missiles FTW. Worth getting at least one to go with the Mazingers, especially reissues are around the corner.

Afrodai and Boss would make sense as a 2-pack, like Garada and Dublass.

highly agree with you regarding Aphrodai and Boss
its two years from now for Great Mazinger to the 50th anniversary and 3 years from now for Grendizer to the 50th anniversary
there is no way i would wait 3 years for the DX Grendizer lol
