A quick teaser entry for the next Super Sentai series in the Shodo SUPER line has been published!
1988’s Chojuu Sentai Liveman will make the leap to this action figure line, with Red Falcon seen in prototype form.
Unfortunately, no release schedule for Shodo SUPER Liveman has been confirmed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!
“Gattai! Live Dimension!”
Since Super Minipla began in mid-2016, it’s blossomed into quite the heavy hitting toyline. Setting itself apart from Bandai’s normal Minipla toyline, Super manages to recreate giant robots (of the live action and animated varieties) in fantastic form. In many cases these new models are incredible cost-effective alternatives to long gone and expensive DX toys. So far that’s been illustrated best by today’s subject, Super Minipla Live Robo!
Choujuu Sentai Liveman was the 2nd sentai announced for this line after Zyuranger, and if collector reaction is any indicator then Bandai needs to focus on more pre-zyu series. Super Minipla Live Robo is one excellent set. Thanks to the new and innovative design methods used for this line over standard Minipla, we get 3 fully functional vehicles in Sky Land & Aqua Machines. We also get an intricate transformation with minimal parts removal that results in a functional highly poseable robot armed with it’s trademark Super Beast Sword & Live Shield. Even if model kits aren’t your thing, this set definitely will be.
We’ve assembled a MASSIVE 150+ image gallery of Live Robo as well as a full 5 part review. Each post in the gallery thread focuses on another piece of the set culminating in Live Robo at the end. Catch the whole thing by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with another brand new gallery from Pacific Rim Uprising!
Ahead of the official announcement, the next pair of retro Super Minipla kits have been revealed courtesy of @_Erasu: we not only have colored photos of Super Minipla Live Robo(Having been previously been revealed in a blog entry from Bandai awhile back) AND Live Boxer.
Release info for the pair are forthcoming, but at least we know that the pair can combine into Super Liverobo.
UPDATE:
Thanks to a pre-order link from Amazon Japan we now know that Super Minipla Live Robo will cost 4,536 yen and will see a release March 31st 2018.
While Toy Fair was going on, the 2013 Winter Wonder Fest was held just across the boarder.
Megahouse was present at the show, and they had on display the next set of miniatures from the Cosmo Fleet Collection line.
Cosmic Fleet Collection Extra Ranger Mechanix Set 2 will feature the Goranger’s Variblune and Varidorin, Liveman’s Machine Buffalo, Goggle V’s Goggle Ceaser, Sun Vulcan’s Jaguar Vulcan, Denjiman’s Denji Tiger and miniature in scale representations of the team’s robos.
Our friend Shir from Grown Ups in Spandex (GUIS), a fansub group, dropped by to let us know that they have DVD quality subs released for the first three episodes (and promo) of the classic Super Sentai series Liveman.
These are great quality fansubs of classic series that any fan of Super Sentai who is interested in some classic series should not miss out on! Stay tuned for TokuNation.com‘s weekly “Watch This” group, where we pick an older series of Super Sentai or Kamen Rider to watch and discuss as if it were just airing for the first time.
Check it out the fansubs below!
