I just looked closely at the Zenkaiger minipla candy blog article, and I think it's the first time in years I've been unimpressed.
When I saw the DX mecha compared to the Change Hero(?) line, I wrote off the weird-looking robot forms for Gaon and Zyuran as the limitations of a DX line that has to include lights or sounds. I'd expected the minipla people to pull off their usual miracle of making a product superior to the DX in nearly every regard.
Instead, these maintain the weird uni-leg of the DX mecha, and the arms also look pretty limited. Zyuran and Gaon already have dodgy-looking alternate modes, and the minipla version doesn't appear to improve on them. The article uses some camera tricks to make their flaws less apparent.
I presume all this is in service of a superior ZenkaiOh ZyuGao mode, which they won't show off until their next article (next week?). I'd already preordered these through Tokucollectibles, and it looks like each of the first two sets include only two mecha, although there will be a combined set released, as well. I'd assumed when I placed my order for both that the first one would contain all four. Oof.
My guess is that these are substantially larger than previous individual mecha in the minipla line so their combined mode will have a height somewhere near that of the combined mecha of previous years. I suppose we'll have to wait until next week at the earliest in order to see.
