Yesterday, Bandai managed to acquire the license to release products from the successful  SSSS.Gridman anime with a prototype of  Minipla SSSS Gridman himself is the first of those products revealed.

In an unusual and bizarre turn of events, two of the shows most popular female characters: Akane Shinjo and Takarada Rikka will be getting Minipla model kits of their own. This will be a first for the Minipla line as it’s mostly done mecha or support vehicles until now.

For now, no other information exists on these two kits aside from the fact that they’ll be released in two sets and they’ll stand at 120mm tall, more information regarding the two will be revealed at the end of January 2019.

Via new pre-order listings over at Tokullectibles, we have our first look at full color official images of Super Minipla Muteki Shogun, Kakure Daishogun,  & Tsubasamaru!

You may recall we’ve been following the development of these figures quite closely. The last time we checked on it, gray prototype images of Tsubasamaru had been released. However now we have initial pre-orders and official images for all 3 releases from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger! 

Tokullectibles is currently using placeholder prices for both listings starting at $1.00, while the pages aren’t live for ordering yet as well. We’ll update when Japanese pages with official pricing go live as well.

“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!

“Cho Ninja Gattai!”

By way of the Bandai Candy Toy Blog we have our very first look at another figure from the highly anticipated Super Minipla toyline from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!

Just last month we had our first preview of the upcoming Super Minipla Muteki Shogun with prototype images of Red Saruder. Today, the Candy Blog has released the first prototype image of Tsubasamaru! We don’t have much to go on based on this sole image, but we can see for certain that is shaping up to be another solid release. We’ll keep you up to date as more images and release info for Muteki Shogun, Kakure Daishogun, & Tsubasamaru are released!

Revealed via design scans only last week, the Bandai Candy blog is now teasing us with the first prototype images of the Super Minipla Muteki Shogun! Specifically, the component shown off in these images is Red Saruder.

Muteki Shogun, along with Kakure Daishogun & Tsubasamaruu, we’re all teased to be in planning stages only last week thanks to some newly released sketches from the Super Minipla Encyclopedia. With these first prototype images it looks like the project is moving forward!
