Elephant and Tiger aren't, but Kirin/Giraffe is. That takes up a fourth spot, so it'd be 3 sets. Probably.

It's actually 2 full sets and some leftovers per case. The Eagle is spread across 2 boxes so it's 5 to a set.

Ah, I see.
Well, still, it's enough for a minimum of 2, which is good enough for me~

If anyone wants more info on the new minipla builds here are the blog entries those photos came from. First look at tiger and elephant are shown as well.

I am not going to order the second set until I have the first set in-hand to give me a point of reference.
(Trying to convince myself.) Thanks for posting those links! |

First review of minipla ZyuouKing. Looks like they took some liberties with the transformations. More than I expected actually.

Anyone think BoA could try upscale that Minipla to add function to the PR version that works with Zord Builder and isn't a literal stack of bricks for 2019?

I don't get why they have metallic stickers. It makes Lion and Kirin look kind of weird. Especially in cube mode, especially for Lion.
As a whole it looks ridiculously better than the DX though. Pretty nice looking. |

My only qualm with the miniplas, it's looking, is that the numbers are stickers, and not part of the model.
I know that would basically require another parts tree in and of itself for all 3, which would probably be more expensive than Bandai likes for minipla, but still, it's a problem for me (I can't paint, and while I do love minipla, the stickers' ability to, well, stick has been hit or miss with me...) I'm glad it took liberties with the combination. I'm not in love with the parts forming, but it means that the ankles are ball jointed and the crotch shark-face doesn't inhibit the waist too much (And it's also, well...Part of the shark), so I'll let it slide. I'm also glad they didn't keep the huge stylus-skewer thing. While it is most likely that the ultra combination will use it as a sword, I'm just happy that the base mecha isn't restricted by having it. (It does make me curious over which mecha will include it, now, though...) Quote:
However, considering the skewer gimmick would be missing, I doubt it.
