I know that the MMPR era ones are likely to be covered. Was supposed to go every other one(a pre-mmpr series to every MMPR series which was supposed to help on profit lines because of areas like Blue Fin or other import sales, which is why they started with Zyu for the biggest initial sales push). So Dairanger seems likely if Kaku does well. But it might be being saved for now for later. Kaku was jumped to for various reasons, with Dairanger possibly coming back to later if it's possible at this scale. That one's a bit harder because of how it transforms and how much parts forming is needed to keep articulation. Which it seems Voltron was a test about overall on audience response to. But hopefully the engineering can figure something out. between either parts swapping limbs or a hinged wrist on the dragon. Won Tiger and the bigger dragon shouldn't be an issue though too much, or the turtle. Mostly it's Red Dragon and his armored up form that's the problem. Especially the elbows and knees. Besides overall durability with how the robot inside holds under moving the limbs. So this one is a big design question overall, but is doable with some cheats like Golion uses.

Potentially, at one point it was suggested up to maybe Magi or Hurricanger.
Part of the idea of super minipla was to do some random areas(Golion and anything else that'll sell and do well), some old areas that didn't get anything good, and then other series that didn't have that great of ones. So they will likely skip Geki, Bouken, and so on up. GoGoV and Megaranger as well as TimeRanger are likely though.

But Magi didn't get that great of a release iirc, and there were some other spotty ones between it. Aba might get a redo, but that's fully unknown.

The super minipla concept came out of the want to do Zyu stuff and classic with at least Deka/Geki level engineering. Which tbh, a strong reason it was done was entirely for the Gouryujin, but it's been proving pretty popular and is likely to stick around to cover what it can that needs it and some extra fun stuff like Voltron. Though how long it stays is really dependent on how profitable it is or not. The loss on revenues shouldn't impact BoJ too much, but the areas it does impact aren't a charity either.

Speaking of Voltron, has anyone checked what the arm peg size is on those? Need to know if they match the Geki/Deka/Bouken/Gokai standard or not.

Also have yet to check if they adjusted the standard for Lupin/Patren. I know there was some brief discussion about how older minipla have some wear and tear aspects that created loose limbs that was startng to create some thinking about being addressed through a slight mushroom peg style(small ridge, not a massive one), but don't know if they went for that or not. It came up after some kits had some issues where limbs would outright fall off in previous years. Particularly dekawing robo's legs.

I know on Gouryujin they reversed the pegs for other reasons that we'll see why on later.

Mostly want to know on Good Striker/Jackpot Striker because that'll determine if I get an extra or not of it, or if I look into an extra Emperor X to do more varied limbs of other sentai on it. Like Gokai arms etc.

Thank you. Completely forgot about that.
