(comment) A mechanical beast that appeared in episode 14, "Get angry! The sleeping giant Spartan". Parts include soft vinyl arms, legs, upper torso, lower torso, left shield made of poly, right hand weapon firing base, and firing spear. Whole body green molding. From box number NO.2500, the list price was 2,500 yen at that time.The enemy character Jumbo Machineder became the uniform series name from the cover-type photo box of the 2nd season, "Terror of the devil army with action", and the 3 types of the 2nd season were blow balls, The 3rd season Spartan K5 had a spear, Rokuron Q9 had a neck, and a lens dove had a flying disk gimmick. The Devil Corps is a Jumbo Machineder series, but it is made of soft vinyl instead of poly like Mazinger, and is about 10cm shorter than Mazinger. Large print. The soles are engraved with handwriting, "POPY SPARTAN K5 DYNAMIC PRO TOEI DOGA". It was an item created as a storefront display, but it was sold to the general public at the request of the poppy, and it hardly appeared in the catalogs and flyers at the time when Poppy was promoting the invincible champion and carrying out a large-scale Jumbo Machinder campaign. Rokuron, which was the latest in the lineup to appear in the play, appeared in August 1972, and poppy products with a NO representing the list price on the box were until the first half of 1973, so the Mazinger sales season in June 1973 Lineup, it can be inferred that the 2nd and 3rd seasons were sold from summer to the end of the year
Because there is a launch gimmick, there are many individuals with missing launch parts, especially the Spartan's spear and Rokuron's neck due to the missing parts. affect the evaluation. In addition, Spartan's shield on his left hand is easy to come off, and the hurdles to getting the complete product are high. It is not an exaggeration to say that the next arrival will be 10 years after the 2nd season and onwards, as it is rare to receive the Devil Corps with box (Koshizaki)
