I just feel like I'm missing something... |

Set 2 has Kishiryu-oh 5 knights. So Tyramigo, Triken, Ankyrose, Tigerlance, and Milneedle. It also has Dimevulcano. basically, set 1 has 3 kishiryu, while set 2 has those same 3 AND 3 more. Also, with set 4 being confirmed as kishiryujin I am expecting box 4 to have a few extra pieces and accessories like what we're seeing in set 3. |
I have seen here a ryusoulger minipla set 06 for november (1 big box only at the moment 10 box in the big box, this could change in the future, it could mean a set of 5).
DX Yokuryuoh is set for october so I expect a ryusoulger minipla set 05 (yokuryuoh) for october. But what will in that set 06 ??? This could mean that a preorder could open anytime soon. Neoxul |

Cant wait for the extras. We definitely need a dancing ryusoul |
UGH, this line is driving me bonkers. We can choose between having likely-unwanted duplicates (I really don't need another TriKen or AnkyRose) or missing new Kishiryu. I bought sets 01 and 03 to avoid duplicates, so I'll probably be scouring Mandarake for MilNeedle and TigerLance for the next several months.

Then there are the EX sets. mecha, but the details can be very different. While the special edition ToQ-Oh was clear/glittery, several re-releases were just flat-out more screen-accurate versions of the originals: KyurenOh's gray parts were reissued in something that looked a little more metallic, with upgraded KyuTama that had little molded KyuRangers inside. GokaiOh was also an upgraded release, with more properly-molded colors and parts to replicate the Gokai Starburst attack. Generally, we don't have information about what the special edition will entail when preorders go live. Unless you're one of the people who really like the clear versions of the mecha, ordering the EX sets are a gamble: are you getting something shiny but off-model, or a significant upgrade on the original release? |

Looks like set 4 will not be released in a set only as 12 pack boxes.
at least all the places I've checked have them like that. |

I'm so confused guys, how many Kishiryu mini-pla sets are there? I'm seeing this green Ceratosaurus looking thing now..I mean, whats going on here?
I ordered like the first 3? I can't make sense of all this. I just wanna collect the damn line. God, this was a mistake. |
Quite a few
Set 1: Three Knights Set 2: Five Knights + DimeVolcano Set 3: Mosa/Neptune + DimeVolcano Set 4: Kishiryuzin (movie mecha) And of course more for future mecha |
My copy of the third set showed up a few days ago. As a whole, it's a pretty good set (at least if you didn't already own DimeVolcano.)
EXTRA PARTS The best part of the set is the new head for KishiryuOh. This kind of painted part is something I'd expect from Super Minipla, so it's nice to see it implemented in the regular line. It's put together out of three parts: the face, the front of the helmet, and (a first for this line) the back of the helmet. I love this because one of my least favorite elements of this year's minipla is that the heads are one-sided. Bandai didn't try to replicate the RyuSouls, but the heads nevertheless feature one of their least charming elements. This head fixes that. It still requires stickers for the helmet itself, but they're better-designed than the first time around. Upside: it looks terrific. Downside: all the previously released heads look lame by comparison. Here's what baffles me: Kishiryu Neptune's head is the standard one-sided type. I realize they probably didn't have the budget to paint another face, but they could at least have provided a three-dimensional head like the other one. This box came with a navy blue sprue, so it could've been possible. Next up, we have the new hands for KishiryuOh. My feelings are mixed. I love that it gives us a new display option, and the hands are expressive. The problem is that they're in red. WHAT. THE. SNACK?! To look right, the hands need to be in black. I'm reminded of a couple of the extra hands that were included with minipla GekiTouja, where some were in the appropriate red, and some were in black (I may try to see if the black hands from that set will fit the newer figure.) Although there were no black sprues in this box, there were elsewhere in the wave, and they already had a few instances of including parts in a box intended for use with another box. The only explanation that would make sense to me is that this box hadn't originally been planned for this wave, but it's got Neptune's head in it. It's just baffling. This box features a small, slightly articulated RyuSoul in knight mode. It doesn't do much, but it's got little indentations on the underside of the feet to allow it to ride atop TyrAmigo like it occasionally does on the show. There are swivels at the hips and knees, the right arm/sword is on a ball joint, and the shield is on a swivel. He's cute but inessential. At least he can sit! The last part of this box is three floating pieces. Two of them are adapters that would allow you to connect pieces that otherwise wouldn't be able to join because they use the same connector type. These are kinda cool, although I'd have been happier if they'd have been in gray or black, since that's the color of most of the connectors in the line. The third is a gray rendition of the part they included with TyrAmigo to extend the neck. Not sure where they intended for this one to be used. KISHIRYU DIMEVOLCANO Despite that he's larger and there's more going on with him, DimeVolcano has a lot more in common with AnkyRose and TriKen than with TyrAmigo or MosaRex. He's basically a brick with no articulation to speak of. However, he's at least a decent-looking brick, as the use of clear, orange plastic here does a lot to enhance its appearance. There's heavy use of gold stickers with... mixed... results. Like other Kishiryu in this line, he's only really supposed to look good from one side; the other suffers from an understandable lack of stickers on the spine. The included head for KishiryuOh DimeVolcano looks pretty great. They did this smart thing where they included teeny-tiny stickers for each eye and larger ones for the helmet, but otherwise didn't paint the face, so this skirts the "face looks messed-up because it's a sticker laying on an irregular surface" thing. As a minipla, he's fine. Most of my gripes about DimeVolcano are based on the design of the DX, and while the minipla people can sometimes work wonders, I don't know how much they realistically could have done with this one. The head-thing for Kishiryu SpinoThunder is small and flat. It doesn't look very good as a head or as a thing to plug into most configurations. KISHIRYUOH DIMEVOLCANO There's not much to say about this combination, but I like it. The head looks good despite being one of the standard flat ones. I can't figure out why they put drills on either side of the upside-down DimeVolcano head rather than guns. The weapons look fine, and fit well in the robot's hands. MOSAREX NOW we're talkin'. As MosaRex, this thing has a surprising amount of articulation for getting him into fishy poses. Also, there are very few stickers, most of which aren't visible in this mode (aside from the optional AmmoKnuckles.) Most everything is in nice, molded colors. Getting the eye stickers in place is a bit of a fiddly challenge, but the final effect looks great. KISHIRYU NEPTUNE In robot mode, it's pretty tidy, and it improves on the DX in a number of ways. As is expected of minipla these days, the articulation is really very good: ball ankles, knees that can get a more than 90-degree bend, a waist twist, articulated skirt armor, waist twist, ball jointed (but backless) head, fantastic shoulder movement, two twists at the elbows, thigh swivels, rotating hands, and probably other stuff I'm forgetting. Almost all of this is usable. The elbows are probably the weakest articulation point, and that's all down to the design of the forearms. The legs are really clever: the fins on the back of the calves would block the knee articulation, so they designed the fins to flip out and away to make room for further bending. Another clever element is that because the robot's head would be largely hidden by the mouth, they built it so you can remove each part of the mouth and peg it into an extra set of pegs that allow the mouth parts to sit away from the head. Because they're each on pegs, you can also rotate them forward are back. I like having them rotated a little back so the head is more prominent. As a standalone robot, he's great. This is very much the kind of thing minipla excels at. As a mecha in the Ryusoulger line, he may be a tad lacking, since he doesn't make much use of the connection ports that defined the other releases in the line. I'm still experimenting with alternate ways to display him. I can turn him into TriKen Neptune or AnkyRose Neptune using the parts from the same KishiryuOh configurations and removing the AmmoKnuckles in favor of the weapon ends (using the adapter for AnkyRose's hammer.) Oh, hey. I just figured out how to do a TriKen-and-AnkyRose combination. Looks like I should keep messing with this. AMMOKNUCKLES Well... these exist. They look fine alone, but as fists, they're clumsy and can't hold Neptune's weapon well. They're probably the weakest element of this design, and the minipla folks couldn't do much to fix that because it's baked into the base design. SPINOTHUNDER I initially thought this mode was a brick because I simply didn't notice the thigh swivels on the legs. The coolest part of the combination is muted here, because the extending horn on the nose of MosaRex, which looks cool on the DX, looks more like a loose flap here. As much as I appreciate that this mode exists, I don't know how often I'll be displaying it like this. The arms in this mode are super-awkward. KISHIRYUOH SPINOTHUNDER Clusterbleep time! It's about as good as it could be given the design of this mecha. There's some relatively decent articulation because it's still ultimately based on the terrific KishiryuOh, but the legs and arms of Neptune serving as shoes and shin armor... well, you've seen it. It's not great. It could be worse, but it's still a lot of unnecessary stuff attached to the legs because reasons. The ports on the shoulders are once again taken up with the DimeVolcano canons, so they're not good for much else. The TyrAmigo-head-as-weapon thing looks just as good as it does in other combinations, but the MosaRex-head-as-weapon just looks kinda lonely. I fooled around with it a bit yesterday trying to find a halfway decent combination that takes advantage of AnkyRose, TriKen, the drills, guns, and the parts of DimeVolcano and Neptune that were unused. It looked... like a lot of stuff slapped on top of KishiryuOh. As a whole, I'm mostly satisfied with the set. The enhancements for KishiryuOh are cool enough to make me reluctant to put him in any combination that doesn't use the new head. I'm a little bummed that I still don't have MiiNeedle or TigerLance since I skipped the second set, but I'm pretty glad I didn't have to purchase DimeVolcano, AnkyRose, and Triken twice. I don't know how much further I'll dip into this line. Neptune and KishiryuOh are good-to-great mecha in minipla form, but the rest only look good in combinations that utilize the line's modular nature, and MosaRex/Neptune suggests the designers may not be interested in going much further down that path. |
Preorder has opened for series 5
There is only a big box for now. A complete set will be 7 boxes. Will it be yokuryuoh, the raptors and pachygraoo or something else ? No real info for now. There are some japanese site talking about a serie 06 for november, but those link are not available anymore (it only speak of a big box with 10 boxes and that a complete set was 5 boxes) If it is all remaining kishiryu, it is strange that there are not individual set. But preorder may open later (like last year for set 04). neoxul |
Pachygaroo first picture
https://r.r10s.jp/ran/img/1001/0004/...60393795_1.jpg Seems we will get another three knight in this set |
https://i.imgur.com/KHdbvRe.jpg
Eventually, it is a Neptune reissue that will come with the raptors and pachtgaroo. Release date : october 14th. Set 6 will be yokuryuoh in november neoxul |
I'm so happy about that.
I wasn't able to get my hands on set 3, so this actually works out |
Guess I will have to keep an eye out on Mandarake for Pachtgaroo and the Raptors...I have everything prior already and I don't need/want any duplicates...*sigh*
|
Real glad I waited on that. Already got series 2, so 5 will get me everything I’m missing. Except for 4 I suppose. Just need to find a good deal on that from a reseller, seeing as the only other way is buying three sets of it at once.
|
Didn't expect to see pictures of set 6 before having a preorder for it ! But should mean we will have preorders opening soon...
Here it is https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/publi...oduct-main.jpg The big box has 12 boxes, 4 boxes for a set. It looks like we will not get a set for this one https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/publi...oduct-main.jpg A part of this box is still hidden, it should be the head used when three knight, neptune and yokuryuoh fuse together neoxul |
interesting to see this before pre-orders for set 5

Sun vulcan super minipla review on the bandai blog
Next super minipla is victory robot from gogo V (and perhaps grand liner too as the hidden page seems to show a different helmet) neoxul |
GoGo V is one of my favorite Super Sentai series. I really happy GoGo V toys finally have Super Minipla versions. :D
Hopely the Timeranger mecha will be have Super Minipla version after GoGo V. :D |
Yup. GoGo V is next. Gotta get that. GOT to get that!!!

I just finished putting together my Jet Icarus Super Minipla, after putting it off for months for some reason. Don't mind the iron and random other figures lol. Anyways, I really regret not picking up Daizyujin and Dragon Caesar while I had the chance. Any suggestions on the best/cheapest way to get them nowadays? They've tripled in price since they came out :( Finally, I'm really hoping that we get Dairanger sets soon. I need Dairen'oh and Won Tiger kits in my life. |
I hope Bandai does the Mega Voyager soon. Galaxy Mega was great but Mega Voyager is one of my favourite mecha.
|
I got the Ninja/Shogun Megazord Super Miniplas and I love them.
I'm thinking if a Sentai really interests me now I'll go for the Minipla for being cheaper, smaller, and more posable. How many sets do I need to get in order to have complete Lup/Pat and RyuSol mecha? |

For Lup/pat : Set 1 : LupinKaiser (5 boxes) Set 2 : Pat (5 boxes) Set 3 : Auxilary mecha (5 Boxes) Set 4 : Either Xemperor or Slash (5 boxes, 10 if you want to display both forms) Set 5 : movie robot : jackpot striker (3 boxes for jackpot striker, you will need lupin vehicules to make a robot) Set EX : there are 5 boxes in this set. But you will need 2 spash, 2 magic and have to buy 2 more good striker (it is not in the set) to be able to make both robots. Lupin magnum is in this set too. main robots : Set 1 and 2. Set 4 for lupin X/PatrenX mecha. For ryusoul : Set 1: Three knight (5 boxes) Set 2 : Five knight (8 boxes in this set, even if 7 are enough to make five knight) Set 3 : Nepture (5 boxes, 4 for Nepture and Dimevolcano that was already in set 2) Set 4 : Movie robot (4 boxes) Set 5 : Auxiliary mecha (7 boxes in the set, 4 for Neptune, 1 for shining raptor, 1 for Shadow raptor and 1 for pachygaroo) You will need tyramigo from either set 1 or 2 or Neptune from set 3 or 5 to use the auxilairy as robots) Set 6: Yokuryuoh (4 boxes) Main robot : Set 2 could be enough. Set 3 or 5 for Neptune. Hope that it answer your question. Neoxul |

I'll look at full Ryusolger Minipla on AmiAmi |

You may have more chance for the big box (10 or 12 box for a set). You should also take a look on mandarake. Neoxul |

Hello all,
I'm a new user here and a big fan of the Super MiniPla line for all the reasons mentioned in the first post. I use a combination of stickers and gundam paint markers for my minipla. Here is my ToQ-Oh and Diesel Oh set. https://i.imgur.com/9noC4XR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rbaq7JE.jpg I'm really happy with the way it all turned out. I will likely do a gloss top coat soon once the weather is good enough. I have the DX version but wow this is so much better. |
