How big is Kyurenoh? I have no idea how big Minipla are.

I'm gonna end up paying close to $100 for a sticker covered model that parts forms.

I know what you mean. When I thought about it, the amount I'm spending on the minipla is almost as much as I got the Legacy Megazord for. lol. Almost makes it not worth it in comparison but I have a feeling I'll regret passing it up in the future.

From the ones I have like GokaiOh, ZyuOh King and Gosei Great are around 5-6 inches tall. They aren't always consistent with the scaling from series to series though and since I haven't built KyurenOh yet I can't say for sure.

Kyurenoh is just a bit over 6 inches standing straight. Daizyujin is actually a bit smaller at the head. If you measure up to his back cannons he's 6 inches tall.

Here's a size comparison. Not sure what makes super minipla "super" but I still like him. His price is a bit high but if you like minipla and want a posable Daizyujin that transforms then I'd say get him.

Yeah, really not sure what makes Daizyujin worth twice what that Kyurenoh is worth. Definite pass.

If you want a poseable Daizyujin, grab the SRC. If you want a poseable, transforming Daizyujin, grab the SOC.

Honestly, the only reason to grab the Super Minipla is if you intend to get the Dragonzord, too.

That's easy to say when you don't consider how much those cost.

$50 for a model is a lot, but not as much as $400-500 for the SOC. And before you say "well it's worth the money" I don't have $400 to drop on the SOC, and probably won't for a long time.

I think the minipla is great, just not $50 great. If it was $30 or something that'd be another story.

Matrixbeast · 03-23-2017, 04:20 PM

Well, the SOC floats for $250-300, but I get what you're saying.

I'm just saying that, for those looking for a well articulated Dino Megazord/Daizyujin, I think the SRC is the better value, unless the transformation is really that vital for you.
The upcoming Dragonzord does make the minipla more worth it, though.

$300 USD, which is about $360 Canadian. Not counting the cost of shipping for something so large and heavy, and the duties and tariffs I'd have to pay on such an expensive item, and realistically I could expect to pay more like $450.

It is. The SRC is great, I'd like to own it possibly one day, but I only like non-transforming versions if I have a good transforming one as well.

Ok, so my Kyurenoh is here but I have two of box 2 (Shishi box 2) and no box 5 (Chameleon). Is there any way I can easily deal with this?

Man, I can't say how amazing the entire Zyuohger minipla line is- it's so much fun.

And Kyurenoh- sets 1 and 2- dang they did well with those! I can't put'em down!

I'm still getting Daizyujin- mine actually shipped yesterday- so I'm looking forward to that. He's perfect for me, because I like my stuff to be all-plastic and able to pose without causing cosmetic damage in moving areas, so for somebody like me: The Super Minipla Daizyujin is a perfect fit. Can't wait. ^_^
