Lucky Draw Prize (100 Pieces) Microman Manga Reprint Promotion Campaign

Replica Gold M134 from the collection of Mr. Brad McQuaid

 

Package

Replica Gold M134 David came in plain white standard 1970's style capsule. (The original also came in the capsule instead of the usual Spy Magician box)

 

Reprint of Microman Manga

Million Publishing released reprint of original 1970's Microman manga in 2003. The collections were separated into three volumes and included many of the color splash pages from the old TV Magazine.

Takara reissued Gold M134 David as Lucky Draw Prize for Microman Manga Reprint Campaign Promotion. This was only the second time that Takara reissued the "Premium" figure from the vintage series. (The other reissued was M110 Preton).  Gold version of M134 David was believed to have been originally released as one of the store premiums (whereby you get the figure when you purchase certain amount of Microman toys) back around 1979.  There were several other Spy Magician figures that were used during that period for store incentives. As with most of the vintage Microman premiums, very few samples of the vintage Gold M134 survived the time. The figure was well documented by Mr. Sashida on his website (Oriental Technology) and his Microman Collectors Guide so Gold M134 did exist. Only 100 pieces of Replica Gold M134 David were given out as Lucky Draw Prizes for the promotion of Reprint Microman Manga which made the reissued version also pretty rare. The figure used the same mold as the Replica versions of M13X Spy Magician and as such suffered the same blur out effect on the head as the other Replica M13X figures. Gold M134 David was essentially M134 with gold plated body (instead of dark green). The figure was packaged in plain white capsule and came with one set of Spy Magician wand and bracelet.
Replica Gold M134 David seen here came from collection of Mr. Brad McQuaid. (If you are a fan of Everquest game, you will probably recognize his name). You can see the rest of his collection along with collections of other Micro collectors at microcollection.net

Above is the advertisement for the Microman Manga Promotion Lucky Draw Campaign.
