How come this guy still hasn't gone up on HLJ?

Premiere of DX Don Onitaijin video on May 22.

Other DX Don Onitaijin video from Bandai :D

Onitaijin went up during the hour I wasn't looking and sold out on AmiAmi... bah.

Oh well, as the main DX mecha this shouldn’t be too hard to track down later. Would've been cool to get this with my shipment next week but oh well.

The Donbrothers assemble Don Onitaijin.

I think my favorite thing about this though is Kijino's actor storing the parts of Kiji Brother Robotaro he currently doesn't need in the pocket of his jacket, possibly creating the world's greatest lapel pin in the process.

After a week of continuous checking - AmiAmi has finally restocked Don Onitaijin and I got one, I'm so happy right now. It’s still up right now, go get one!

12 minutes after you posted it, and it's already closed again :lol

It's crazy how fast this thing sells. Not really surprising though - great design, fun combination and actually functioning articulation.

I genuinely wonder what next year brings, now that they dared to shake up their DX Robo-formula and succeeded.

Anyone know how the Change Heroes scale with the Yudo figures? I got the Yudos in today and it'd be cool to put Momotaro on the DX Enya Rydon, but I don't want it to look weird. I can't find a comparison anywhere.

i did scale my Zenkaiger And DonBroders Change Heroes with my Ryusoulger kirameiger yodu figures.

Awesome. Thanks!

your wecome.

a Minipla Don Onitaijin has at last been announced.

I wish they would've used this chance to make Oni Sister less of a statue.

There are a lot of people who mod their minipla kits so I'm hoping this Onister is easy to work with because I'd like some posability too.

Romi Park is the VA for the Ryukonogeki (and presumably the other thing I’ve forgotten the name of)

The Tigerdora?

Thank god Minipla Don Onitaijin isn't a Premium Bandai exclusive unlike the Minipla Don ZenkaiOh.

Fantastic toy. Big, easy to understand, actually functioning articulation in combined mode. Feels weird that it took this long to get something like it.

Looks great! Nice pictures!

Just got my Don Onitaijin! And what everyone says is true… he’s a big chonky boy.

It’s a truly great toy, but I do have a couple gripes. Namely the lack of any thigh spread or waist hinge joints. This guy begs to be posed into intimidating power poses, but without a thigh spread or a hip hinge, options are very limited.

Other than that, it’s pretty flawless. I am kind of wondering if I should have held out for the Minipla version, just because I know I’m gonna want all of the supplemental robos, and I just don’t have the space to display something as huge as I know this guy is gonna get with all the add-ons.

Yeah, he has ports on the bottom of his feet so this dude is gonna get even bigger eventually. I'll wait and see how that looks, because I'm pretty satisfied with Don Onitaijin as is.

I love your shelf by the way, I could dig into those Swamp Thing books immediately, and that plushy is adorable.

The Change Heroes Don Murasame Alter comes out July 16 for 2,000 yen. The DX ToraDragonJin comes out August 27 for 8,800 yen. The Avataro Gear 06 comes out July 2 for 1,200 yen.

The Ninjark Sword has gone up for preorder.

And Murasame’s Avatar Change theme is… sharks.

They actually gave him Shark Gears? Lel

Ohhhh! That is very, very nice! I just want to clarify, is this the Minipla and if so, is it difficult to plug in the change hero alters?

That is indeed the Minipla, and I don't think Blade Fang would know if they're easy or not to plug in because those aren't their photos

Ah okay then, thank you 😊

Now that I'm thinking about it it probably would be easy to plug in. The candy toy blog for Onitaijin showed images of it using Avatar Momo's sword and gun, showing they do use the same peg system, and that Robotaro can even use Avatar's alternate hands

I just had a wild idea, but I don't know if it's a good one or not.

I'm considering throwing some panel lining on my DX Don Onitaijin.

I know plenty of people do panel lining on their Sentai Minipla, but I've never seen anyone do it on a DX toy (probably because Bandai has never attempted screen accuracy or realism in the DX mecha line until now).

Barring any recommendations to the contrary, my plan is to start with the Don Robotaro component and see how it goes. I'm planning to pick up the more articulated Don Robotaro once it's up for preorder, so if I fuck that guy up, it won't be so dire.

But. Before I pull the trigger. Is there any reason I should avoid doing this? Like... will the plastic crack and degrade?

I personally would wait until that new Don Robotaro is fully revealed, because it might also have a bit more paint and thus alleviate the issues you're trying to fix with the one you already have.

It’s not so much that I have a problem with it (though I have seen the P-Bandi version with extra paint apps that suddenly make the retail release a little flat by comparison)… I just know how much better my Gunpla looks with a little panel lining to bring out some of the finer details.

I wouldn’t do any major recoloring, just throw on a little texture here and there, especially in the gray plastic areas. Although I suspect the gray plastic is ABS, which should be fine with my Gundam markers but may present some issues if I want to use my Tamiya liners.

Supposedly, the DX Don Robotaro with enhanced articulation drops today.

Anyone having luck finding this guy?

It drops Wednesday in Japan so that's like 12 more hours at least.

Gotcha. I’ve been on the lookout on Hobby Genki, since it seems like they sometimes post listings earlier than 3pm JST. I was able to snag an Aguilera from them at around this time on the day she dropped, but I have no idea if that’s a common occurrence. :lol

Looks like Hobby Genki and Anime Export aren’t carrying the new Don Robotaro. I really really don’t want to spend the $90 Tokullectibles is charging for it. Do I have any other options?
