I would like Magiranger and Timeranger to be the next SMP.

Question: for the Gaoranger SMPs we just need Gaoicuras, Gaogod and cyan Gaoelephant…my question is who do you package cyan Gaoelephant with?

Also do you think will get the Big Gaolion and Bluemoon Gao Hunter as SMPs?

I am kind of hoping they do GaoElephant along with GaoIcarus without GaoRhino/GaoArmadillo (since we already have them)

The Big GaoLion may get a solo release, could be 3 or 4 boxes

As for Bluemoon GaoHunter...I think it's a good possibility, but it will be PBandai

Hurricanger would definatly be one I try to go all in on, the other one would be Gingaman. Shinkenger might be neat but I could see em not doing that too. Boukenger is pretty neat too.

I have this feeling that GaoRhino and GaoArmadillo will be repackaged with GaoIcuras unless it is untrasforming legs like GaoBison and GaoEgal that came with GaoMuscel. True that Big GaoLion could be its own release but I sometimes wonder if GaoElephant could be packaged with that.

I can see GaoGod and Bluemoon GaoHinter both being P-Bandai exclusives.

It's almost as if you reached into my soul and found the topic I've been dying to talk about :lol

New:
- Dairanger
- Battle Fever J
- Ohranger
- Gekiranger
- Carranger

Reprints (not Sentai-exclusive):
- Zyuranger
- Megaranger
- GaoGaiGar
- Ideon
- Zambot 3
- Gridman

If I had to narrow it down more, I would prioritize Dairanger and Zyuranger. I have very nostalgic attachments to the mech designs in both of those series. In fact, I think Dairanger has my favorite mech designs in all of Sentai. I so badly want to build Dairen'oh and Won Tiger, and I'm really curious as to how big a Daijinryuu kit would be.

I wouldn’t mind them doing the Victory Mars Robo for SMP. I’d also love to get MegaWinger and Mega Voyager from Megaranger. As for new Sentai mecha they haven’t done for SMP, I want Boukenger, Gekiranger, Go Onger, and Gokaiger the most, but I also would love the Dairanger Mecha too.

I'm going to keep writing Timeranger until I will it into existence. Give me Timerobo, Timeshadow, and V-Rex

Wouldn't say no to DairenOh or RV Robo. Those are some of the first shows I began watching when I dipped into Sentai

I have built GaoKing and GaoMuscle Striker. Fun builds, Bison wasn't annoying to me at all, having cut my Pla teeth via Iron-Blooded Orphans high-grades

Soooo getting the rest including GaoKnight. Already got ideas on how to make the five 'backpack' zords work for those two! Though, not gonna lie it'll be tough. But my fanart dreams live on!

Timerobo makes a lot of sense. I'm not crazy about the design (especially the shield) but it sure is unique design.

Having not built Daizyujin, are those labels an upgraded replacement for the included stickers? Or do these include new markings?

Given how their labels have worked in the past, I do believe it's both. They have all-new labels for the semi-recent Hasbro Megazord, for example.

I believe Dairanger/MMPR season 2 (Thunderzords) was rumored as a future one so they’re my biggest want as of now.

Although I would definitely be happy if Ninja Storm and/or SPD got the Minipla treatment next

I think Abaranger would be a fun set to get done up as SMP. Only need 4 sets between AbarenOh, Killer Oh, the brachio, and the full Max RyuOh. Get some green awakening repaints and BakurenOh, maybe with the orange dimetrodon in place of the pterodactyl. Go Onger would be great too, only needing 5 kits in total, 6 if we include the wheel.

That's cool and all, but it feels pretty pointless considering how impossible Daizyujin is to get.

The set is far from impossible to get a hold of, there are plenty on eBay or Yahoo Japan or Mercari Japan

I think what you mean is it's impossible to get for a reasonable price

Maybe impossible wasn't the most precise choice of words, but you understood what I meant.

Why would they create accessories for something that is out of print and difficult to get ahold of?

For the people who already have it. It'd be like asking why SHF Upgrade bothers to make accessories for, say, Horobi when that figure is so hard to get at a good price.

Well...I guess that makes sense. Since it's such a niche audience that would be interested in their product, it doesn't really matter if the original is still available new or not.

Especially print-on-demand style of products. They don't have to mass produce anything, just make it when someone orders it.

I decided to do some repainting of the duplicate Power Animals that came with GaoKnight.

I present to you, from the list of 100 Power Animals:

GaoJaws
GaoCrow
GaoGuar
GaoCheetah (I feel this one turned out really well done)

GaoJaws! I love that. These look great. Good job!

i am tempted to paint my extra bison into the purple bison from the ultima megazord that came out in the us

I forgot about that one...


On another note: has there been any new information about the, now twice, teased GaoIcarus?

Twice?was there another tease of GaoIcarus I?m not aware of?

There was a silhouette tease back when they announced GaoKnuckle, but it was only the top half of GaoIcarus

That's news to me, do you have a link to it or the picture itself?

I should have Gao Muscle by the end of the week. I hope Gao Icarus is a mass release like Gao Hunter was.

I'm dreading tracking down Gao Knight. Muscle was already expensive enough.

Muscle's fun to build. God, getting these is awesome

I agree

If it means anything from what I've seen Gaoknight is easier to find and a bit cheaper then muscle.

Takes forever to release but BBTS has had them all. The preorder for knight is sold out but when it gets in stock you might be able to snag it from there

To anyone who has painted their SMP GaoHunter, I don’t want to use the stickers on my copy and want to paint those missing applications, so any advise on what colors to use?

I don't care for the DonBrothers designs, and I probably won't watch it...But I actually like that first mini-pla. I think I might order it.

I feel the same way, except that I won't be ordering the first one. In fact, I am done with the normal Mini-Pla, and will be focusing only on the SMP releases.

Sure, there are 1 or 2 older sets I wouldn't mind getting my hands on, but unless I see them for a decent price, I am not gonna go out of my way for them.

I like the Don Momotaro Mecha Design but it looks like like it would look out of place in my collection. I mostly focus on the chunky sentai, combiner designs. It even looks a little off in scale too. Looks more like a 20 meter mech, not your typical 40 meter Sentai mech.

I specifically like it because it's a bit different. It's halfway between a mech and a suit, and I like the traditional Japanese influence. It just looks like a cool figure to have, with a lot of room for detailing (panelling, paint, etc).

Anyways, I pre-ordered it like 20 minutes ago on amiami :lol

Yeah I might pick up the Change Hero version because I want to be able to attach Sentai Gears if they are basically the same size. The color separation is near identical, though the Minipla looks to have more articulation, especially at the ankle. I also think the Peach mode will look better in the action figure.

Can't wait to see it in action!

I have this weird thing where I can't buy model kits of living characters, but I can't buy figures of mechs. I guess since mechs are mechanical, you build them...just like a model kit. But you don't assemble people? I don't know. To be honest though, I'm not sure if this is a mech or just an upgraded form. Whoops :lol

The Change Hero version sounds cool too. I'm excited about the kit, though.

any one have an idea on what to make the spare rhino and armadillo?

for armadillo i was thinking a hedgehog

rhino... a hippo??????

(chances of me actually doing this is zero)

With the few customs that I have done, I kept it to the list of 100 Power Animals


I was thinking a Mouse, but a Hedgehog could work, or a Mole. Possibly even a Pangolin

As for Rhino...I think a Hippo would be the only real option, in terms of just repainting without massive physical modifications.
