The latest entries in the fan-favorite Super Minipla collector series have been revealed in full!
First up is the main Mecha from 1991’s Super Sentai series Chojin Sentai Jetman! The Celestial Fusion Jet Icarus is recreated in exquisite detail- with all five Jet Machines able to combine into either Jet Icarus or the attack craft Icarus Hawken. All of Jet Icarus’ weapons will be included with this release- the Birdonic Sabre, Wing Shield, Icarus Axe, Icarus Crusher, & Icarus Magna!
Not to be outdone, the second Jetman Mecha will also be included in Super Minipla. This is our first look at the Minipla Jet Garuda! The powerful craft is able to switch from Bird Garuda airship mode to Jet Garuda Robot Mode. In addition, the Garuda can combine with Jet Icarus in two forms- first in vehicle mode to create the Hyper Hawken or in Robot Mode to create the Great Icarus!
While price & release dates have not been confirmed at time of writing, it appears that the Jet Icarus is a standard retail release while Jet Garuda is a Premium Bandai item.
Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Super Minipla reveals!
apparently Jetman is the next Minipla Mecha.

Yay! And glad to see them continuing the pattern.
Damn, was kind of hoping they'd make the Mega Voyager before moving on
Nice, looks good.
The question remains though... will there be any fan brave enough to paint Jet Condor green and call it Jet Eagle.
These two things are simultaneously true:
- I have never particularly liked the design of Jet Icarus.
- I will absolutely buy the minipla version anyway.

A minipla of Jet Icarus? AWESOME.
Really hope they do GoGo V's Victory Robo sometime in the near future.

I looked over a video of the DX Jet Icarus today: same deal. I'd never been super-excited about completed robot, but the DX is surprisingly solid from the back, something I'm not used to with Sentai robots anymore. All the jet mecha have some impressively elegant engineering going on, both to make the robot form look complete from all angles and to make a similarly coherent Icarus Haken. I've seen some tank-mode combinations in Sentai robo that come off like an afterthought, but Icarus Haken looks very much deliberate and thought-out.

But yeah, this looks cool. I have no love for Jetman, but I know a lot of people do, so it's nice to see Toei throw bone their way. Me, I'm just reminded how much I want that Galaxy Mega.
