I think if they did that, I would have been more inclined to pick up the Yu-Do and the Minipla together.

That is their civilian form so you are not wrong if you call it that. If you wanna be specific kikainoid form is more appropriate. As long as it is one or the other should be fine.

Yeah, the Minipla look good in the combined forms, which is probably how a lot of people would display them anyway. If you want the individual mecha forms, Yu-Do looks better

Yeah like I said, I think I'm gonna have to wait a few episodes to see if I'm gonna want to display them as civilians or in the combined form. If there's a combined form in which all of them can combine (probably using a 5th robot), then I'd definitely lean towards the Minipla.

I absolutely love the posability of Minipla. Seeing older robos like Jet Icarus in dynamic poses that their DX versions could only dream of is a real cool thing.

I wish Yu-Do was the same scale as So-Do, but with these figures being robots, the size difference will be a lot more passable.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but since it's relatable...

Does anyone have the Shinken-Oh Minipla sets? I am looking for the instructions on how to build the first 5 mecha. I bought a full set, but the boxes for the first 4 weren't included.
I have tried many different searches to see if I could find something, and came up with nada.

If anyone has them and could send me pics of them, that would be amazing.

I tried finding a YT video of any speedbuilds, and I found this series where it looks like the reviewer has a close up of the instructions. Is this the set you have ?

I’m planning on ordering it from ami ami, but do these kits sell out as fast as Figuarts ?

ShiShiLeo · 03-05-2021, 09:15 AM

I think this one will due to the popularity.

They usually sell out in advance. Sometimes they don't, but do you really want to take that chance? If you want it, I recommend you pre-order it.
