Some seller on ebay has it as a Pre-Order ? I'd stay away... I'd stay Very Away. That "deal" looks too damn good to be true. I wouldn't trust a "pre-order" Anything on ebay... ...just another opportunity for some "sellers" to scam and rip people off. zozo-Magengar any one have any idea when this toy will be released?

I wouldn't worry about it. That name is clean in my book. Anyway, we'll know soon enough if it's a scam, as I am the sucker who swallowed the bait. ;D Seriously, as I said, I think that seller is reliable. He might not play the fairest game when it comes to combined shipping, as it seems to be the case with a lot of Hong Kong seller (or would it be their mail system's fault?), but he delivers the goods. I've placed three orders at his store so far and all three went smooth. One of them happened to be a pre-order for Venus Queen of Gold. I wish he would send some updates on pre-orders to inform us of the their status. If you don't ask him for updates, you won't know when you'll get your item until the package's at your doorstep. Not a really big deal, though. I guess that's how most sellers on eBay work. Although most of them do send you a notice when your item has been shipped.

Nice, but is this an actual character from the Mazinger universe?

Not the main one, but in the Mazinger Angels manga continuity they are. I first thought that the special edition Angels (Snow White Aphrodite, Sirene de Noir Minerva, Queen of Gold Venus and fish'n chips Diana) were created just for the Soul of Chogokin line, that the comics they were featured in were special issues made to give the toys a backstory, but some folks here said that it's really the other way around. The mangas came first, the toys second. Although I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bandai pushed the mangakas in that direction, so they would have more toys to sell. Kind of how the story goes about Grendizer's origin. How Bandai just wanted another Mazinger to put more stuff on store shelves.

Yep, these Maz Angle figures were indeed inspired by the manga which came first, and then these figures followed later. That's an interesting observation, Krimpov, about gettin more toys on the shelves... moreso the continuation of the Mazinger saga, with the off-shoots such as the Grendizer, and the Maz Angels... ...We're basicly gettin the call to collect as much Go Nagai stuff as we possibly can, before they are No More. Because, someday soon, Go Nagai will retire (or, God Forbid, pass away). It took him roughly thirty years to bring out Mazinkaiser while doing all his other Maz-related projects between Great Maz and 'Kaiser... ...who knows what else is in store from the Mazinger legacy, if Nagai even decides to further it just one more time and make the next (and, perhaps, Final) Maz project one that will close the book on the Mazingers, in an honorable fashion equal to a Noble samurai's dignified death. Remember, Good Things Don't Last Forever... ...therefore, we best enjoy these Maz items Now, while they still are being produced; so that we can enjoy them as fond long-lasting memories of our favorite mangaka/anime master Go Nagai. zozo-Magengar

My Queen of Gold Venus A has just arrived this morning before I left for work!!! I must say that I am very satisfied with the acquisition and here is why: 1) I only have three Mazinger Girls, the original Diana A, Angels Minerva X and now the Queen of Gold ( I do not collect repaints or retools, only one of each mold). 2) I believe that the originals are too similar to one another, hence that is Why i only bought Diana. 3) The Queen of Gold has a really cool and original Pilder and nifty egyptian accessories that will make it stand out among my SOC display. I am almost certain though, that as nice as the limited edition Diana A is I won´t get it, and I feel no urge to get Aphrodite too, but eventually I will, but as Bandai releases more and more SOCs, my quest ( I am 24 out of 36 including IDEON) to have one of each actually pushes her to the bottom of my want list, just above the OVA Mazinger and the other 5 EVAs I do not own.

Since I bought Sirene de Noir... I guess she needs a partner in the name of the mermaid. The 2 other mazinger gals I bought the original colored one

i've seen it in a couple of stores (one was consigned) here in Tokyo. One was consigned for around 9500 yen. The figure looks great though.
