“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!

Straight from New York Comic Con and the Bluefin Tamashii Nations booth is our first look at the Super Mini-Pla Titanus! Recently revealed as King Brachion via a Premium Bandai pre-order in Japan, this is the first hint that the Super Mini-Pla King Brachion may be brought over to the US under the Titanus name.

Super Mini-Pla King Brachion is one of the largest Super Mini-Pla sets to release and is motorized to act like the original, deluxe sized version. Currently, Super Mini-Pla Titanus is “Display Only”, and we will follow up with Bluefin Tamashii Nations to see if we can have any hint of an upcoming US release.

For those unfamiliar with Mini-Pla or Super Mini-Pla – it’s a model kit, much like Gundam model kits, where you build the figure yourself. The difference between Mini-Pla and Super Mini-Pla, other than the size (Super Mini-Pla is larger), is that many pieces come pre-painted or pre-stickered. The Super Mini-Pla Daizyujin and Dragon Caesar (aka Megazord and Dragonzord) have already been released in Japan and are releasing for the first time at New York Comic Con as the Megazord and Dragonzord.

Special thanks to our friend @dekablue25 who is currently at New York Comic Con. Check out the original tweet below.

Rounding out our trio of Zyuranger Minipla releases, Bandai’s Candy Toy blog was just updated with our first look at the Super Minipla King Brachion/Titanus!

No release info was provided in this post given that it’s still clearly in early development. But given that his size and price point matches that of Super Minipla’s King J-Der from GaoGaiGar, we can expect this to be a potential Premium Bandai with a similar price tag of 10,000 yen.
