I just opened and put together my Minerva Angel. Hands down... she is my favorite FemBot so far (I still have to open the rest of my Mazinger Angels, but I think GX-09MA would hard to beat). Her winged-head and skirt are awesome! The sword and high heels are a nice touch too. I only wish that most of the parts were die-cast. But I guess she would not be able to stand and balance if she was all-metal. She is glistening in glory...
Who is your favorite FemBot?

yes. minerva is he best of them all but the rest is kind of bad. if u have not opened the rest yet u might want to keep then seal so u can sell it because the rest of the fembots arn't much to look at. i am thinking of selling them $60x3= $180 for some other toys.

I think it's a matter of design preference. It seems on this board, members tend to enjoy Venus Ace the best. But I never really liked her "robot hair." For my money, I like Aphrodai A best because to me she was the first fembot and I love the new MA colours on Dianan A because the original GX-11 was one ugly mofo.
I recommend taking a good look at the promotional photos before you buy. The pics are a pretty good representation (unlike some promo pics we've seen).
And yes, with all her "devil" parts on, MA Minerva X is bad-@$$. Good thing the head-gear is not die-cast otherwise she'd never be in the pose I gave her...

Hey Ben-Ohki... I agree, GX-11 is not that attractive. The colors are funny looking. Plus my version's boobs keep launching--it's damn trigger-happy! I have to spend a lot of time looking for that missing boob now and then.
By the way, do you guys get that weird look from people who find out that our FemBots' boobs shoot out? Someone even told me that this function is insensitive to breast cancer victims. I am very selective to whom I show this feature, especially to kids and women. Men love it though, hands down...

That is a totally non-sequitur conclussion... to which I pull the usual response out: I think Peter Jackson is insensitive to Elvis Presley fans because he made a movie called "Return of the King!" The usual reaction I get from people is, "that's... oh nevermind! I just don't get you!" ;D

Well, We live in a world where most things are Non-Sequitur, to quote from an essay in college by William Golding entitled, "Thinking As a Hobby" :
"I no longer dismiss lightly a mental process which for nine-tenths of the population is the nearest they will ever get to thought. They have immense solidarity. We had better respect them, for we are outnumbered and surrounded. A crowd of grade-three thinkers, all shouting the same thing, all warming their hands at the fire of their own prejudices, will not thank you for pointing out the contradictions in their beliefs. Man is a gregarious animal, and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way on the side of a hill."
9/10 of the population are "grade 3" thinkers meaning they don't do much thinking, but rather feel.

Well I only have three Angels now with Minerva coming in the mail. As of right now I like Dianan colour scheme the best but I think I like Minerva's sculpt the best. The best would be Minerva's sculpt with Dianan's paint scheme.

Bringing this back on topic... I'll argue with chen - I like Dianan's head the best (and I also like her colours best too). But for whatever reason (illogical emotional attatchement, maybe), I still prefer Aphrodai overall. I just like her accessories better compared to all the other ones. And she has that bizarre robot face that, although very inhuman, manages to remain oddly sexy. I think it's the eyes that do it. Weird.

If we are talking about the classic Fembot, Aphrodai A has my vote. If the Maz Angels series, then it will be Dianan A, funny thing is like most people she was my least favorite classic...
But if we are talking anime, it will have to be Venus, since she always remind me of the Mazinkaiser episode...you all know which one I'm talking about! ;D

LOL Well, although I don't have her, I think I like Angel Minerva the best. But not with all her "evil" armor, just plain chrome Angel Minerva. The armor is cool too, but the simple original design enhanced with all that purple and chrome just looks awesome.

Are we talking about the original versions or the Angels?
Original, I'd have to say Venus Ace. Her Scrander alone makes the purchase well worth it.
Angel, Mineva X, hands down.

I actually like the original GX-08 Aphrodia A, being a big fan of the original Maz cartoon since childhood this was the fembot to have at Mazinger's side. Although I like all of the original four. I'm probably alone in this but: The angels doesn't really appeal to me, too flashy, gimmickly, especially Minerva X, too "power rangerish" with the fancy combining bird head thing and all the other accessories to me IMO its simply overkill or trying too hard. The only thing I like about the angels is the excessive use of chrome which is kind of cool actually scrap that, it reminds me of the old micronauts. just my opinion no offence intended.

I guess the original versions are like the girl next door that you marry, while the Angels version are the crazy-ass strippers that you have a ton of fun with but never bring home to mom
