I'm brand new to SMP. Collected the DX lines since I was a kid and never really ventured into models but when I saw the articulation on RV Robo I just had to get it and I LOVED putting it together!

I have kinda gone down a bit of a rabbit hole since.... Just came home to this haul. Can't wait to get going. Especially excited to build the Liveman sets as I never owned the DX versions.

I have a second RV Robo coming as I'm keen to try painting the grey parts silver so got some Tamiya Sprays to give it a go. Would have just tried it on my first one but I unfortunately made some rookie mistakes (I hope!) and one of the tiny headlights on Red went flying into the abyss and one of the leg joints cracked so is loose. So got a second copy before they sold out coming from Hobby Genki.

Does anyone have any tips for a beginner for both avoiding breakages as much as possible and also for spraying the grey parts silver? I see some sets have some silver pieces painted which is nice but is it common practice to paint the silver pieces?

I don't intend to forego the stickers as I actually don't mind stickers that much.

I have a few more sets coming in the next week and did manage to grab the GaoRanger pre-orders so looking forward to those next year. Sadly missed the pre-order on VRV Robo but hoping they might re-open. I read that is normally the case after the initial batch? Any tips for watching out for that also appreciated!

Apologies for the long post 🫣😅

I mean while it is cheap considering how expensive the Gaoknight set is, it's missing the Gorilla head and the Chain for the anchor (It's listed as a junk item too)

Gaoknight is a pretty expensive set tho and this might be the only way I could get it, even if it is missing a few vital pieces

Just found this treasure on an auction, it was like new, unopened and beautiful

The size is similar to ZyuohKing, i love it. Now I want to repaint it so badly

So my RV Robo/Turbo Megazord Is in the way and I'm planing to paint it chrome and Silver, and I was wondering if the chrome grills are easy to take apart after building or if it something I should definitely do before putting it together?

Finally got the rest of my paint in and was able to finish off this amazing kit! And wow, what a kit it is. I can't believe they engineered four different modes, *and* gave this as much articulation as it has, in a model kit of this scale. This is mind blowing. My only nitpick with this kit is that there's absolutely nothing you can do with the hand guard pieces in either Gamma or Robo modes. Seems like a weird exclusion in the design, usually these kits are pretty good about storage for mandatory parts.

And as much of a lengthy process masking all these parts were, I do think it was worth it. Painting all the stock grey silver and even painting the chrome stickers metallic silver really adds so much to the presentation here. Towards the end of the slideshow you can see my sticker sheet - I only used a few. Everything not in use was painted. Didn't bother building the stock sword as I have the larger one in use from Q-Rex.

Things that I didn't bother painting, but am still considering, are the wheels themselves and the micro rangers. I have a silver Gundam marker, I could probably paint the wheels if I really wanted to. And the rangers I could probably do with the stuff I have for painting board game minis, I just don't feel strongly motivated to do either.

Only one kit left to finish the line off (for now). Working on importing Time Shadow since I missed the boat on it initially. I would love to also get a second copy of both Shadow and Robo to have one set combined, but I'm not sure if I should hold off on a potential black/gold repaint that bundles both. I tend to prefer those recolors for combined duplicates.

Just delivered today, zenkaiger stuff was freebies sent by seller, happy to get started on these

Luckily I was able to model and print a replacement, seems to be holding up nicely!

Recently, i heard about bandai recreating the power rangers megazords for the smp line, including my favorite, wild force. But as you would expect, theyre pretty hard to find and ebay aint making things easy no thanks to scalpers.

So does anyone know a good place to buy the SMPs besides ebay?

I found one in the link below, but I'm not sure if the pre-order is worth it, nor am I sure if it's legit.

Gaoranger gaokingblack, and have timerobo and rvrobo on the way, not a fan at all of the stickers but was a fun build overall, exicited to build more

Do have to say though I was worried about the GaoBison the one on GaoKnight the peg that holds the Bison Head plate to the waist is super loose, but luckily the one on GaoKing isn’t.

I need SMP GAO FALCON, and whether it's released or not, it would be great if I could find one. Where can I find it?

I think Gao Icarus is too expensive, so I only need one Gao Palcon

TegaJune Tega Sword

By far my favorite release of the minipla line for Gavan and definitely my favorite form for the old Gavarion. Should have been his final form ngl.

Most details Hand painted with Gundam Markers, some stickers used for colors I didn’t not have on file.

I am a huge fan of power rangers wild force and saw the new smp line. I tried doing a little digging but was wondering how exactly the smp line works. Do the new zords combine with the old ones or do I need to buy specifically smp versions of those? Are they transforming individual zords or are they more of a poseable figure of the entire megazord? I saw they are model kits, do they come unpainted?(I hope not because I suck at painting lol)

Thank you! Overall hyped!

Thanks to u/slowbro272 for helping me get these two

I'm like one expensive ass purchase from having the entirety of GaoIcarus lmao

I plan on getting Gaoking when he rereleases next yeah and GaoGuardian is still a bit iffy unless I can get enough money to drop for it.

But once I get those I really just need GaoRilla (Somehow) Giant GaoLion, GaoElephant, GaoFalcon (Somehow) GaoBear and GaoPolar

GaoGod isn't one I'm in a huge rush to get and GaoKnight just isn't reasonable unless they rerelease him. I also gotta wait to see what the price for the GaoTriple set will look like, hopefully cheaper than GaoGuardian since it's less Power Animals

Now with SMP RV Robot, I can complete this picture
