You could probably turn Rhino into the boar with little issue. Sand the horns down and sculpt a couple tusks in. I know boar is supposed to have that whole chariot thing behind him but, well, not entirely an option here

I like the idea of a hippo!

i like the hippo idea

pangolin as wells will double check the animal list

i turning the second set of bison pants into the purple bison form the US ulamus megazord

Just in case anyone is interested BBTS has the SMP Gao Icarus set for $144 and Gao Lion and Gao Elephant set for $109. They also still have Gao Hunter too.

3D printed this stand for gaoshark, thought yall might like it

So I'm looking at the Donbrothers minipla...it seems like set 02 is just set 01 + a few more pieces for the same price? Am I missing something?

Apparently, the set 2 Momotaro Alter has a ?pearl? finish

https://bandaicandy.hateblo.jp/entry/20220313_sentai

They are not the same price.

https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/chara...tai/index.html

And it's also not a pearl finish. The pearl finish is typically for the "SP" rerelease of the Minipla which has been a common practice for Minipla for a while now.

If you are able to wait, the SP and/or Glister Injection set is generally a better deal as it sometimes comes with improvements.

edit: the Zenkaiger minipla sets ended up being very cheap in the aftermarket, but you can never really tell how that will go for each series.

Ah, on Amiami, the 12pack box is the same price for each (which makes sense) but the original individual figure is 150 yen cheaper. I don't think I need the extra stuff, so I'd rather just grab the cheaper one.

Honestly, I was really only thinking about getting it because I have another order shipping this month and I thought I could add this to get better value shipping. So, while I appreciate the suggestion, it's not really worth the wait.

Is the Super Zenkaiger Mini-pla any good? I wanted to grab it before, and seeing it on Amazon might make me, just wanna know if it's worth the 50-60 dollar price tag.

The Zenryoku Eagle? I hate it haha. It's an absolute mess with an ugly weapon.

I have it but will probably display the two regular mechs so they'll match my other Minipla.

Nah, the... ZenKaijuOh set
I think that's the name

A Mini-Pla + Yudo bundle: Hakaijuuo & Hakasier

YES! This makes me happy that we get Hakasier and his Mecha Kaiju, I want this!

Anyone know of any relatively cheap GoGoV SMP sets for sale, preferably unbuilt?

Mandarake has the main robot for 9,500 yen

I was wondering why it took so long

This thing looks really great and much better than the DX version.

Weirdly it's Premium Bandai

Don ZenkaiOh is up for pre-order at Tokullectibles. It's hard to tell if this kit is gonna be rare as a P-Bandai set so I pre-ordered immediately

https://tokullectibles.com/collectio...a-don-zenkaioh

This looks glorious. I haven't seen Zenkaiger, but man does it have some amazing designs. I want this, lol.

If anyone missed out on pre-ordering GaoIcarus, Gundam Planet has it listed now.

GaoGod will be the next SMP release

https://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/image...0513161251.jpg

Additionally, there will be an announcement for the 100th SMP release, though not sentai related. Details tomorrow

That's awesome! I was hoping they would finish out the GaoRanger line with him.

Will be interesting to see what the 100th will be.

Oh yeah, I?m glad that the Gaoranger mechs can be finished then a new cycle of Sentai Minipla can begin again?.I?m hoping Timeranger.

Also can?t wait to see what this 100th SMP is gonna be!

Looks like Genesis of Aquarion may be the 100th SMP Release? Goes up for pre-order tomorrow

I don't think thats the 100th release. The bottom of the official Bandai blog post (dated 5/19) still says the 100th is forthcoming (to be announced May 20th)

https://bandaicandy.hateblo.jp/entry/20220519_smp2

Whoops, missed that...

Still, I was never able to get my hands on that DX Aquarion that came out (many) years ago. At least I have a chance now, since it's a mainline release and not just P-Bandai like the accessory set for it, which I don't need.

Is Gaogod exclusive or mass release?

It's a Premium Bandai release

Brace yourselves folks, news is coming in that we're getting re-releases of SMP kits. Notably: Zyuranger (Daizyujin, Dragon Ceasar, and Brakion) and both Liveman kits.

https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/1553511/
https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/1553632/

Yup...after I spent way too much on Daizyujin and Dragon Caesar a few months ago, of course.

Also, BBTS still has stock of Brachion (Titanus) listed for $149.99, has been taunting me for months.

Number 100 is actually GaoGod, finishing the Gaoranger line.

The only 2 super sentai announcements today are an Alternative Destiny Super Live Robo and that the next regular sentai release is Denziman

I'm excited they're re-releasing Super Live Robo

As expected.

Daizyujin, Live Robo, Kakuranger, GaoGod, and Titanus are all up for pre-order on Tokullectibles now.

Sweet! I just preordered Daizyujin at Tokullectibles but will they get Dragon Caesar up for preorder soon?

Crazy to think these kits were like $50 on release. They are now P-Bandai but still under what they were going for in the aftermarket.

Praying they redo the GogoV kits. Maybe with a Victory Mars since they've branched out into full series rather than just a handful of them? Only other series I can think of with absent mecha in SMP is Megaranger but I could be wrong. Probably am

I hope that they redo the Jet Garuda kit, I missed out on that one

These sold out very quickly at least in the places I'm looking, wow. Hobby-Genki for instance sold out all three main mechas as well as Dragon Caesar.
