This makes me really want them to start making a line of mecha slippers. For all the foot style combination sentai mecha.

Hard to believe that isn’t even their final/Ultrazord combination.

Finally getting around to posting every tidbit that's come out recently.

1. It appears that Series 05 is going to focus on the movie mechs, as it's listed as Lupin Rex, the name of the combination with the movie Jackpot Striker.
1.a. It'll be coming out some time in August.

2. There's also something called Series EX coming in November according to Amiami, but if Series 05 is the movie one I have no idea what it will contain.


In unrelated news, I finally finished putting together my Super Liverobo model. Really like it, but the amount of kibble left over is annoying. I've been trying to find a way to store the big guns on it somewhere, but nothings looked good yet.

Not sure but "ex" series are usually transparent pieces or extra artillery things.
Though they should still have a few more things coming up in the show too. That'd be about the midway point.

That's what I thought too, but we've already had the transparent ones with the Sp series. It might be the micro mini-pla, but those are usually called micro gattai.

It talk in the japanese description about getting a bigger volume. So as it is more expansive I would believe on a bigger box with a bit more of what we used to have in a standard box (like dekabike robo minipla)
As for the date, it will be release really late for the show, so apart of what is going to be released from august to november, I can't think of anything.
5 boxes would make each new vs vehicules (magic dial, splash, the two strikers) and lupin magnum, each in a single box. If it seems ok for the vs vehicules (they don't seems really bigger than the standard vs vehicules) it seems a bit light to have a correct lupin magnum...
As there are no info about further toy release, it should be the last vs vehicule minipla for this year (perhaps a clear version of something in december ?)

Could be, though I would think they'd do a transparent release of the extra Ranger mecha trains too. *Shrug* who knows. But look forward to seeing whatever it ends up being.

If they released some clear set they would be named SP02.
I wonder if they do clear version based on sales of the normal set... (there was not SP last year for orion for example when there was one for cube whale two years ago)
Last year SP01 was set 1 and 2, then SP02 was set 3 and 4. No SP for the set 5 (movie), 6 (orion) and 7 (minor leo/ moraimars, skill)
This year SP01 was set 1 and 2. But as set 3 is only auxiliary vs vehicules (no individual release), I can't imagine them doing a SP02 with set 3 and 4.
I believe it will be either set 4 alone, or perhaps set 4 and the future EX set.
It could also mean that there will be no other clear set (if set 4 is not selling well for example)
Can't wait to have some info on the future release too ;)

Yeah, it all depends on sales figures pretty much. Your examples were all ones that did, and the ones skipped were ones that didn't sell as much.

X-Emperor is fun. I slapped it together, will paint later.

I don't know if if the normal minipla will work better, but the top half of the clear version does not hang together well. Putting the cross member on the back helps a bit, but mine seems like it's too heavy for it's own good.
