The minipla people aren't going to be able to improve substantially over this design. Other than alternate hands, I'm not sure what else it'll be able to offer.

Size. It's about the size. Articulation is definitely one of the biggest draws to Minipla but for me its size and customization. I love Don OniTaijin's design but it is way too big for my collection. I'm hoping the minipla keeps it to around 6/7 inches.

It would also be nice to see if the Minipla version can improve upon the individual robot forms, giving them weapons and more articulation.

We are seeing a lot of overlap in sentai toys recently. The change hero and minipla Momotaro Alter are nearly identical in size to the point that their accessories are interchangeable. Likewise for the Yu-Do and the Change Hero equivalents.
