A few months ago, we got word that the next of Bandai’s Super Minipla releases will be from the retro Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan show with a Super Minipla Sun Vulcan Robo in the works, new sketches have been found online, and not only do these sketches give us a good indication of what the finished product could look like, they also confirm that the Jaguar carrier mecha has also entered development. 

Release information for these two are still forthcoming, but we’ll be sure to update you with more info as soon as it becomes available.

The release of the Super Mini-Pla Thunder Gridman set is only a week again, but if that wasn’t enough to whet fans’ appetites Bandai have also updated their official candy toy blog with preview images of the accompanying Gridman Sigma and Dyna Dragon set!

This extensive set of images gives us a better look at unpainted versions of both model kits, along with Dyna Dragon and its multiple components – the King Jet and Dragonic Cannon/Dyna Fighter! Also included is a preview of just how Dyna Dragon will combine with both the Gridman and Gridman Sigma figures to form King Gridman.

The Super Mini-Pla Gridman Sigma and Dyna Dragon set is a premium Bandai exclusive due for release in February 2019. It is available both as a two-pack for 6480 yen and the Dyna Dragon on its own for 4860 yen. Check out the full selection of images after the jump!

Bluefin Brands has officially announced the release of the Power Rangers In Space Super Mini-Pla Astro Megazord and Delta Megazord in the United States. These items were originally announced via Bandai Japan with pre-orders already open – this marks the 6th and 7th release of Super Mini-Pla items under the Power Rangers brand here in the United States (following Mighty Morphin Megazord, Dragonzord, Titanus, Ninja Megazord with Falconzord, and Shogun Megazord).

Super Mini-Pla are model kids, much like Gundam model kits, where you build these fully functioning, transforming figures from pieces on pegs. You can then either apply the stickers that come with the items or paint them yourself – it is up to you! What makes them special is how close they resemble their in-show models and the fact that they are fully transformable and fully posable.

These are slated to release on 03/15/19 for a grand total of $42 for the pair. Stay tuned for pre-orders to go up at your favorite retailers.

We have our first look at the upcoming Super Mini-Pla Shogun Megazord on display at Tamashii Nations at SDCC 2018. There is no release date currently for this item but fans can be rest assured that this item will be coming to the United States for release later this year or early next year.

Displayed with the Super Mini-Pla Shogun Megazord are the Super Mini-Pla Megazord, Super Mini-Pla Dragonzord, Super Mini-Pla Titanus, and the combined Super Mini-Pla Ultrazord. The latter are all currently available at your favorite hobby retailers online and in stores.

INSTALL, MEGARANGER!

Well, it’s certainly beginning to look like the year of Megaranger as we have a double whammy of toy reveals. Not to be outdone by the Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer & Battleraizer shown previously, but Super Minipla will also be diving into Denji Sentai Megaranger. We have our first look at Super Minipla Galaxy Mega & Delta Mega in grey prototype form.  While not much about these kits are known, we can only assume that they’ll retain full transformation from their DX counterparts and the ability to combine into a little Super Galaxy Mega.

At the moment, no release date or price was given but stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll be sure to provide you updates as they become available.

Recently, Premium Bandai and Bandai Japan announced the next Super Mini-Pla figures to see release in Japan (the Muteki Shogun, Kakure Daishogun, and Tsubasamaru). Fans speculated whether or not they would see a release in the United States – and today Bluefin Tamashii Nations announced that the Ninja Megazord and Falconzord will see a US release!

The retail price tag for this set will be $99 and will release this November. This is great because the Japanese version, Kakure Daishogun and Tsubasamaru, were Premium Bandai exclusives and were demanding a pretty penny for import.

Super Mini-Pla are model kits that you put together. The end result is a mecha that is more articulated than the full size toy. The closest way to describe them is think Gundam model kits but of your favorite Power Rangers and Super Sentai mechs.

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!
