Takes forever to release but BBTS has had them all. The preorder for knight is sold out but when it gets in stock you might be able to snag it from there

To anyone who has painted their SMP GaoHunter, I don’t want to use the stickers on my copy and want to paint those missing applications, so any advise on what colors to use?

I don't care for the DonBrothers designs, and I probably won't watch it...But I actually like that first mini-pla. I think I might order it.

I feel the same way, except that I won't be ordering the first one. In fact, I am done with the normal Mini-Pla, and will be focusing only on the SMP releases.

Sure, there are 1 or 2 older sets I wouldn't mind getting my hands on, but unless I see them for a decent price, I am not gonna go out of my way for them.

I like the Don Momotaro Mecha Design but it looks like like it would look out of place in my collection. I mostly focus on the chunky sentai, combiner designs. It even looks a little off in scale too. Looks more like a 20 meter mech, not your typical 40 meter Sentai mech.

I specifically like it because it's a bit different. It's halfway between a mech and a suit, and I like the traditional Japanese influence. It just looks like a cool figure to have, with a lot of room for detailing (panelling, paint, etc).

Anyways, I pre-ordered it like 20 minutes ago on amiami

Yeah I might pick up the Change Hero version because I want to be able to attach Sentai Gears if they are basically the same size. The color separation is near identical, though the Minipla looks to have more articulation, especially at the ankle. I also think the Peach mode will look better in the action figure.

Can't wait to see it in action!

I have this weird thing where I can't buy model kits of living characters, but I can't buy figures of mechs. I guess since mechs are mechanical, you build them...just like a model kit. But you don't assemble people? I don't know. To be honest though, I'm not sure if this is a mech or just an upgraded form. Whoops

The Change Hero version sounds cool too. I'm excited about the kit, though.

With the few customs that I have done, I kept it to the list of 100 Power Animals

I was thinking a Mouse, but a Hedgehog could work, or a Mole. Possibly even a Pangolin

As for Rhino...I think a Hippo would be the only real option, in terms of just repainting without massive physical modifications.
