edited to note that Bandai sells and prices minipla as individual boxes (even when it takes multiple boxes just to make one robot). Also, like it was previously mentioned, Bandai looks to be rebranding the Super Minipla line with the release of GaoKing. Currently we have Minipla which is usually the mech for the currently airing Sentai series, and then we have Super Minipla which is the "Adult Audience" mecha from older sentai and robot franchises. Both lines are considered candy toys and include gum.

I started watching Gaoranger recently because I'd heard good things and was curious about why it was so beloved. I've never been a huge fan of Gaoking's design, but then, I wasn't super-into the design of Victory Robo, but I love its engineering to bits.
What's confusing for me about why people seem to like the Gaoranger mecha is that, as I understand it, its gimmick is limb-swapping, and recent series that did that... well, the gimmick did not impress me. Did Gaoranger just implement it better? |

Silly question but are these also sold in cases like So-Do? I've never pre-ordered these kits before but I did once see some Mosa Rex boxes in the wild

For example the Super Galaxy Robo case had two boxes one for Galaxy Mega dn teh other for Delta Mega modeled after their DX boxes while Grand Liner is just in a single box based off the DX box in a standard P Bandai shipping carton |

It's limb-swapping, done really well. Everything in the line is compatible with each other (except for GaoElephant, he only goes on Tiger and Shark). There's nothing quite like it since then, with most of them only swapping arms. Gaoranger has the mechas swapping arms and legs, sometimes having makeshift combos on the fly, and the gimmick is regularly used throughout the show. You can form 4 whole robots from everything as well (GaoKing Sword and Shield, GaoHunter, GaoMuscle Striker and GaoKentauros with Deer and Giraffe as arms). The play value is endless!

I do wonder how they'll split up the releases since they are all to be single mecha. GaoGod and Hunter are guaranteed, right?

Probably God and Hunter as a single release, then Elephant - Gorilla - Bears as a release, then Icarus. Big Lion as a separate set, then of course a P-Bandai Kong + Black Elephant set. If they are wild like SODO OOO maybe some extra concept-only PAs, although I bet they would do that.

Odds are considering how every other sentai super minipla set has been handled only Gaoking will be a mass release while the rest will be P-bandai. Odds are we’ll get Gaohunter Blue Moon as it’s just an easy recolor or Gaohunter similar to the black and gold Max Victory Robo and both did show up in their shows, while Gaohunter Evil will be an integrated transformation with some partsforming
