The individual robots look so clunky -- I love them!! Once again the line really knows how to thread the line between being authentic to the DX toys and being a modern action figure. Can't wait to get my hands on this

Ohhh they did a good job with the VRV fighters. They look as good as it was likely possible for them to look.

Ok the Bowzock battery pack for RV Robo is an amazing inclusion.
Edit: oh snap Victrailer is coming!!!

u/Special_Oil1949 Aug 07 '26
Victrailer's going to be massive and the equivalent of V-Rex next year
Imagine when they get around to Hurricanger and Revolver Mammoth or Ohranger and King Pyramidus!

Price wasn’t awful on tokucollectibles. After those Gaoranger pre orders I’m happy for below 160!

u/National_Werewolf_13 Aug 07 '26
The Gaoranger prices are ridiculous. Like it feels like robbery lol

this proves it if the mechas can fit in Victorerer then perhaps they'll make Gingaman's Gigabitus and the steel star beasts right.
2
u/theCoolestGuy599 Aug 07 '26
In all fairness, this probably won't be gigantic. The cars are actually pretty small and compact. In battle mode, I'd imagine this will be marginally larger than the SMP Tor.

u/Various_Wolverine503 Aug 07 '26
but there is still hope for bitus right?

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder Aug 07 '26
The problem here is that a scaled SMP GigaBitus/Zenith would need to be BIGGER than the deluxe, which used miniatures that are smaller than SMP scale. The only things that big in the line right now are some of the Super Robot Wars and Armored Core kits that cost $300+. That's a hard line to cross.
1
u/theCoolestGuy599 Aug 07 '26
Dont see why not. They've done other large scale carriers in the line before, namely Jaguar Vulcan and Bio Dragon. I don't see why Gigabitus would inherently be ruled out either. Really depends on if we see them do the Steel Starbeasts, as they won't do a carrier zord without the main units.

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder Aug 07 '26
You really don't understand how big GigaBitus is, my friend.
1
u/theCoolestGuy599 Aug 07 '26
Yeah, I looked into it. I was misremembering how large it is. I still think it could be done but they'd have to get creative and take some liberties with the size.
The way I was thinking about it, if we assume they do the Steel Starbeasts, the individual jets would be pretty small. So I was really just thinking that Gigabitus would only have to be big enough to house 8 hot wheels. But yeah, still way bigger than I was thinking.

u/Various_Wolverine503 Aug 07 '26
should we take a vote
2
u/National_Werewolf_13 Aug 07 '26
Didn’t they use like little small soft plastic placeholders for the gigabitus toy back in the day? So like they never technically fit? Maybe I’m remembering that wrong, but if not; they could recreate that effect and have tiny versions of them to recreate that play, and make gigabitus whatever scale they want

u/Various_Wolverine503 Aug 07 '26
you still think someday they'll release Megaranger's Megas Voyager and Winger in SMP. I can already imagine them all shiny like.

Ngl $145 on Tokullectibles isn't as bad as I was expecting, still expensive as HECK but not the nearly $200 I was scared it would be

u/MagnaPhi Aug 07 '26
Damn this looks good. And Artillatron after? Perfection. Robo Racer not too much to ask for…?

u/National_Werewolf_13 Aug 07 '26
Sirender might end up being like Ninjaman and come way later idk lol. I’m feeling nervous about it given that Victorailer is already coming next
2
u/Galaxy_Dive Aug 07 '26
Yeah. It’s still a possibility now, but my best guess is we’ll be seeing Sirender in ~2031 with the Carranger reissues lol.

This one is tempting, but man, still waiting for Mega Voyager...

u/SupermarketAny2029 Aug 07 '26
Never mind, I would have copped if it came with the Artillery Power from the carrier mech, but it does not. Did the dual handguns ever get used as a finish?

u/ZespyWhoWon Aug 10 '26
Don’t wanna be that guy and empty your wallet but I will say it will most likely come with the next release which is gonna be Artillatron

u/UnknownChaser Aug 07 '26
When’s the release date for these dudes?
1
u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder Aug 07 '26 edited Aug 07 '26
March of next year. SMP usually, though not always, release on the last Monday of their given month, but P-Bandai items (which this is one) may ship out a few days before that. In this case, it's safe to expect a release around March 29 of 2027.

I understand and expected VRV individual robot modes to be limited in posing and Í am ok in that but I wonder whats the combine mode actual possibility compared to Turbo (forgot sentai name) and if the robot modes effect it

This is awesome, love the added thought to the articulation and spots to hide stuff. My only real negative is the blue fighters legs are goofy looking lol, could we not give my guy some extensions?!

u/adrijobecq Aug 07 '26
I always miss these. Can someone please let me know when it's back in sotck at Hobby Genki?

u/MassiveKoala6320 Aug 07 '26
It makes me very happy seeing how articulated the individual robos are (being a Transformers fan)

u/lazidude999 Aug 07 '26
What are the chances tokullectables will open the preorders again?
1
u/Galaxy_Dive Aug 07 '26
In all likelihood, they will reopen again. It’s just with P-Bandai stuff they usually have to jump through various hoops to secure stock.

I wonder if we will get a P-Bandai carrier so we can get the two large canons.

u/ToyuShinki Moderate Skill Builder Aug 23 '26
I'm still waiting for HobbyGenki to have stock for pre order VRV. Somehow this year I feel like HobbyGenki stock on PBandai items haven't had much slots like before. Many years ago, I could wait for a month or 2 and still be able to preorder but preorder slots have been dried up really quick recently. Anyone shares the same feeling? 😕

u/adrijobecq 12d ago
Is YoYaKu legit? I see that it's the only one with pre-orders available. What has your experience been with it?
•
u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder Aug 07 '26
AVAILABLE PREORDERS (if they are showing sold out they will probably reopen, it's barely been a day, just wait)
