Just as well I'm not that invested in GaoGaiGar. If I won't pay 12000 yen for a King Brachion, I certainly won't for a King J-Der even if the scale is pretty impressive.

Not sure what's going on with that Kyuranger Minipla set 5, but if it's going to be clear I'm glad I haven't put a preorder in. If it does turn out to be something else there'll be stock available when it's released.

I feel for that price, you could save a little more and just get the Legacy version.

12000 yen! :lol

What a joke. That's almost PG price for what will be just a big-ish HG at best.

If that's the size they're really aiming for that's pretty big, but it's still a model kit and thus nowhere near worth that price. King Brachion will be exactly the same.

I mean, at least with King J-der it transforms, has the smaller J-der, and seems fully posable. Not worth the price, but at least worth something. What would they even do with King Brachion? If they didn't change anything it'd be a hunk of plastic with a posable neck. Maybe if they gave it a robot mode, but otherwise, I don't see why anyone should get it.

I have just watched the japanese version of the page, and compared it to the ryuteioh (series 3) page. It is quite the same in japanese, talking each about clear parts. I think that it refer to the clear part of each set : the kyutama and the fact it is a first in minipla history (I know there was some clear parts before in a set, but not in each set as this year)

For my parts it would be to have the complete collection. But I must say that the price seems really expensive for what it is. I am usually only interested in the robot form of a minipla, so as there is no robot form for this one I wonder if I should invest so many money in this. I will wait for more information and if possible photos to decide myself.

How are they going to reconcile the tiny head and giant arms for J-der?

The Kyuranger "glister injection" (metallic) set is back in-stock at AmiAmi. This is probably a way better deal for people who didn't pick up the original release.

That's not 1/100 size, is it?

Finally have photos to share of my completed Kyuranger sets:
