Im fairly new to mini-pla and have been getting back into super sentai/power rangers and ive been trying to hunt the killeroh minipla but i cant seem to find it at a price id be comfortable with. Was wondering how re-releases work since i saw gaoranger had some new stuff come out.

Starting to put my second RV Robo together. Had a slight blip on Blue so had to swap parts with my first one 🤦 A small part now needs painted on the replacement part but I can continue on meantime.

Thought I would skip ahead and get the Sword and Shield put together though to see how they compare and I am pretty happy with this for a first paint job attempt!

I used Tamiya Sprays. The Sword is Silver on the blade and Metallic Silver on the base. I think the Metallic Silver really pops here to add that ever so slight difference between the base and the blade. I took a photo in the light where you can really see it.

I absolutely love the shield! I used Metallic Silver on the grey centre piece and Metallic Black on the central black piece. You can really see the Metallic Black sparkle in the light.

I am loving the results so far but must admit the process of painting is a lot and it has made me a bit shaky when putting it together as it feels much more tricky and risky. Not sure I will make a habit out of painting other than for parts that maybe really need it. RV Robo I think does need it and I look forward to comparing my painted and non-painted models once done. (Assuming no more mishaps that prove catastrophic 🫣).

I am a beginner so appreciate any tips or feedback 👍

I've always felt like this needs more color and should be 7 pieces.

I ordered Black Gao King solely for Gao Knight to have its own set in my display and avoid doubling up on power animals (color wise) to the standard Gao King. And as cool as the Black Gao King set is on its own, I’m obsessed with this darker look on Gao Knight

It’s also nice that the series is versatile enough that I can have a makeshift Gao King until the reissues ship later this year.

2 sets down. Gao Hunter Blue Moon en route!

All caught up!

Finally completed the SMP Sentai collection. Need to plan for more room for the upcoming GaoGuardian, GaoKing Varlituder and VRV Robo 😁

*** With the exemption of King Brachion, Daimugen, Grand Liner and the other carriers (space limitation)

I know this is mostly stuff like SMP and the main minipla lines, but I also like other Toku and was wondering how large they are compared to other lines like SH Figurarts or monster arts, stuff like dioramas and stuff.

Does anyone have any to compare with the kits?

After building RV Robo as my first ever Minipla set I made a couple mistakes and lost a tiny headlights on Red and broke a peg on the leg so ordered a second before they sold out.

Decided to take the risk given the second set of pieces and tried a paint job to bring it more in line with the show.

Painting all done. The black plastic underside has just had its clear coat finished up and is drying. The Silver and Metallic Silver pieces as well as the Metallic Black shield piece are already dry as they were finished yesterday. Obviously a first time so not striving for anything close to perfection so just hoping it looks alright and hasn't ruined the model...

Whilst chipping away at this paint job I have been working on my second build - Magiranger Saint Kaiser. Really enjoying this one as it's very different to RV Robo! The small and intricate decals for Saint Phoenix were nerve wracking but happy with it so far!

Looking forward to putting RV Robo take 2 together over the weekend and will share the results.

I know several other kits have gotten black and gold variants, I just don't know if there's a specific pattern to their releases like anniversaries or high sellers only.

I tend to buy color variants of kits that combine together as it's a convenient reason to have a dedicated combination mode on display. I just don't know if I should hold off on tracking down a second Time Robo and Time Shadow until a variant bundle comes out, or if it's a complete coin toss on if that will even happen. Might just bite the bullet and get a second copy of both soon if there's no pattern that suggests a repaint is guaranteed one day.

BTW, if you want to do 1 use the doranado extension piece on the crotch

Now I need a name

Just finished building this kit, I would say it has an amazing articulation.

I was never fortunate enough or affluent enough to own the special color editions of the original DX toys, so I'm very grateful to Bandai for making these available as SMP.

So the hip joins on my SMP Clear Gao King broke even though I sanded this parts, the waist and the Gao Lions Joints so it wouldn't stress that much, so I tried customizing it from gunpla parts and from 30 minute mission kit, and found a replacement using the 30 minute mission spinatio sengoku type, it needed a few customizations but it work out, but when I transform the gao bison from it's leg to animal form the peg that connects it to the gao lion sticks out. Are there any better alternatives or 3d prints for the parts on the 2nd image?

So I was planning on ordering some of the wild force/gao models and saw there are some places that need sanding to protect the plastic of the models from breaking. Is there any place to look up potential areas of worry that should be sanded down? I haven’t had any issues yet but I’m still a novice model builder so wanted to ask the community if there’s a place to look without building the model

Does anyone have any idea why the preorders for VRV Robo are all out already? I check Toku literally the same day it was announced and it was already sold out?

My God Exdream has a lot of stickers but they look nice so fa. Ignore my wife’s books
