Random has a point, many Japanese collectors don't have enough room to display 1:1 scale replicas.

But yeah, I don't want those either.

Yes. 150mm is around 6 inches. So its around the size of your typical Figuart.

Aside from what Kiwami already said, Gashapon is cheap and popular in Japan. And 1:1 scaled toys wouldn't fit into a Gashapon machine

Not to mention that some of the toys would have insane prices at that scale.

Yeah that kind of collectible is really popular over there. They did lines like that for the Belts and Helmets too.

It was only a question of time because they turn pretty much EVERYTHING into Gashapon collectibles xD

Another waste of money bandai you had one job to do one job

Geez, guys. They're freaking Gashapon. Asking for 1:1 replicas from a Gashapon machine is... Ridiculous (to put it lightly). These seem to be a similar concept to the Sailor Moon Henshin Stick Gashapon, which remain the best versions of the R and S Transformation Items for the Inners and Outers available.

I'll definitely be buying a box and keeping the Zyuranger stuff.

Keep in mind the title doesn't let the viewer know the scale. It's very misleading to anyone who doesn't know what this HP series is (Like me. Or Google).
