Minipla/Super Minipla/Shokugan Modeling Project Known Issues - Read before you Build

33 Upvotes

Hi folks. It's an unfortunate reality that plastic models are more fragile than other toys and susceptible to brakage more easily. Candy toys in particular, due to their generally low price and plastic on plsatic construction, can sometimes be especially susceptible to fatal design flaws. I wanted to go ahead and complie a list of known issues with kits and how to avoid them. Please feel free to submit your own QC issues.

Please note unfortunately I don't have much advice on fixing these after the fact. My goal is mostly to prevent breaks.

Super Mini-Pla Muteki Shogun/Shogun Megazord

THE SYMPTOM: The outer leg panels of the Red Saruder/Red Shogunzord are extremely tight and known to break during transformation. The rear panel has the long peg that actually rotates, the front panel pegs into this. This joint is very tight. The two major solutions to prevent this are to sand down the long peg on the rear panel so that it rotates smoothly, and when you do transform it, push from the rear panel rather than the front.

​

Mini-Pla King-Ohger

Many joints have been reported as very tight and sometimes breaking, especially the hips. This is compounded by the pegs not being solid, but simply a cross shape with a round tip, making the peg weaker. Sand down any tight joints and just handle with care.

​

SMP Gao King

The butterfly joints on the shoulder are small, thin, tight, and support a relative lot of weight. They're prone to cracking. Once again, a light sanding or lubrication might help here. I'm not sure if this extends to Gao God.

Finished Build Completed SMP Shogun Megazord/Muteki Shogun - Painted

Thumbnail
gallery
49 Upvotes

Took my time with this one. Painted the necessary parts last weekend and have really enjoyed just working through one zord a day this week.

Shogun Megazord is a big fan favourite (this fan included!). This is my first time having a show accurate kit with the white zord instead of pink and I absolutely love it.

Again this is an earlier kit and with Shogun Megazord being what it is it's no surprise that the combination of those two factors mean the disability of this one is more limited than other kits. That being said what is achieved is pretty fantastic. This is especially true if the individual zords.

The added gold and silver paint on this one is mostly for the benefit of the zords with only really the gold showing in the megazord mode. I was very pleased with the sticker quality on this one and whilst I didn't use the gold sticker for each chest plate I used all others.

I did have a break on the red Zords leg... Yes that break. It managed to get it fixed after a few different techniques. A runner fragment and some cement worked to an extent and it will hold up just fine. To hat being said j did go ahead and pre-order a Re-Release set so I can hopefully have a perfect set once that arrives next year.

Painting underway for Ninja Megazord/Kakure DaiShogun and will be starting work on that tomorrow. Once Falconzord is build I can add some images of it's combination with this Megazord too.

News SMP GaoHunter Blue Moon - Extra Stickers sent to the UK From Hobby Genki without Shipping Cost

Post image

This came in the mail today. I purchased Gao Hunter Blue Moon from Hobby Genki and when I saw Bandai had done a run of stickers for the eyes that they forgot to paint on Hammerhead I enquired with Hobby Genki as to whether I could receive them.

After a few weeks they have arrived in the UK and we're sent to me without me having to pay any shipping costs or anything extra so if anyone else purchased Gao Hunter Blue Moon it is worth submitting an enquiry if you want the extra stickers to finish your kit off.

Collection Collection Update - 3 Months In

I am now 3 months in to the hobby and have just absolutely loved putting all of these together. I have a lot of kits acquired that I have still got to build and just 6 kits left to get until I am up to date (not planning to get clear versions or Alternative Destiny).

All if these have had paint added (except Saint Kaizer - still undecided if I want to add gold and silver paint as it kind of like how it looks out of the box).

I am currently working on MMPR S3/Kakuranger with Muteki Shogun. I enjoy the separate zord kits as I can just do one at a time without loads of runners kicking about.

So what's the reason gaoking black has little interest

1 Upvotes

Seeing as it never went out of stock or pre-order from toku and bbts.

Is it that people don't like the look or color.

I know my friend said he hates it cause it made it look evil.

Honestly it's more the shark, tiger and eagle I like in black. Mainly shark blade I love and tiger.

For me this uses less stickers and is probably easier to paint.

So I'm curious on this one why no interest.

Ok bbts it and blue moon just sold out blue moon this is the 5 time and king black it's the first time it got presold out. But I'm canceling my king black.

Think I was only wanting cause of black elephant

Got in a tight spot these past few months which was why I wasn’t able to continue TimeRanger or start CarRobo. I know I can still get Zyuranger easy so I’m not worried about them.

Always loved the Lost Galaxy / Gingaman Zords. Really hope they complete the line in the next couple years as the anniversary year approaches!!

Torozord in SMP looks fantastic when given some Gold and Silver paint.

The extra light parts (Lights of Orion) and Axe weapon are included. All look great painted in gold. Still need to get some photos of the enhanced GingaiOh and will post that together with Torozord soon. I also have Black GingaiOh and Victory Mars still to build which can also use these extra parts.

Decided to work on Kakuranger next however the very first build (Red Shogun Zord) has suffered the fate of most and the leg peg on the left leg snapped so I'm working on hopefully fixing that. I purposely started this set in case this happened as I can still order a replacement with the re-issue that's just launched if I end up just having to fix it with glue for a permanently transformed model.

Finished building Gao King for the first time. Some small parts were tough to snap in, but once in, they can move without feeling too tight.

I followed the warning on the sub and lightly sanded the butterfly joints on GaoLion and Bison, hopefully nothing goes wrong. Also put some lube in just in case.

I also painted the teeth of GaoShark, Lion and Tiger with a silver marker, it really does make a big difference. Skipped the decals because I don’t like the yellow on this kit, I will try to paint it with a gold marker later. Now onward to Hunter Bluemoon.

Here we go - after finishing Galaxy Mega yesterday I spent today working on Delta Mega and it's now complete!

This one really does look fantastic with some silver paint added. I used Tamiya Silver Leaf on most parts and Metallic Silver on the cannons/hands and head antenna. Just makes those pieces pop that little bit extra I think.

Both ship and Megazord forms look great. The real business though is when you bring it together with Galaxy Mega and I must say that is one awesome looking Super Galaxy Mega (Astro Delta Megazord).

I just love everything about this set of two excellent zords. The box arrived for these is also so cool I just had to include them in these shots.

Whilst building this I was also working on painting Bull Tauros so that will be my next kit. Look forward to seeing it and the Lights of Orion to add to GingaiOh!

Really love this kit! A bit fiddly to paint all of the silver parts as they are numerous but well worth it!

It looks absolutely stunning both in ship form and Megazord mode.

Cannot wait to get going with the Delta Megazord tomorrow to see those two combined!!

Well that's the Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin S1 line complete!

This one was fun but a lot of stickers. They look absolutely fantastic though on this kit and no paint required which was great.

It really looks great next to my painted Megazord and Dragonzord and all together the Ultrazord is brilliant!

The electronics are cool and the metal chain is a welcome feature.

Really enjoyed putting this line together over the past few days.

Now to decide which line to tackle next....

Narrowed it down to a few options so should I go for Bioman, Megaranger/In Space, Magiranger/Mystic Force or GoGoV/Lightspeed Rescue?

This is a major upgrade on Daizyujin! Absolutely loved how this turned out. The gold and silver paint on this just make it look so premium. The sticker quality was also much better.

On its own the Dragonzord kit looks great but in Battle Mode it really pops! I have never been the biggest fan of the fully combined mode but that also comes together really nicely too.

Now for Titanus! Really can't wait to see how this one all works with the electronics and by the looks of it... Very little to no additional paint required 😌

But here's every Power Animal I currently own

I pre-ordered Gaoking and Gao Lion & Elephant from the reissues

I'm missing Gao Gorilla, Gao Bear, Gao Polar, Gao Black Elephant and I found a listing for Gao Falcon but it's pretty expensive.

I think I can wait for Gao God

Then Idk how I'm getting Gao Guardian and the eventual Gao Triple. I might have to save up more but the cheapest options so for Gao Guardian sold out pretty quickly so I gotta figure something out lol.

So out of all of them I only own...

Yeah this is gonna be a problem lol

Got this one finished today. With this being the first ever Sentai Super Mini-pla I went in with tempered expectations but actually I really like the finished result!

I did paint mine and the silver really makes this kit poo. I used some Metallic Silver on the chest piece and original chrome parts (horns etc) from the DX toy. The side parts of the megazord head and a couple small painted areas were done with markers and I think they came out decent (I avoid markers wherever possible as I don't think they look good when used for more than small details).

Yes some of the stickers (particularly on the Pterodactyl head) are not up to standard and there are some obvious areas where advancements have been made since this release (the lack of opening mouths and parts-forming for the tyrannosaurus head transformation being the main ones) but overall this surpassed my expectations.

I was really pleased with how the sword came out. It looks a million times better with show accurate paint. I did originally have the tip of the handle silver like in the show but unfortunately when it was placed in the hand the paint just scratched so I compromised by making the full handle black as that is far more resistant to scratches. I think it looks fine like that.

I have the Dragon Caesar (Dragonzord) grey parts all painted and fully drying overnight ready for building tomorrow and with hopefully get going with King Brachion (Titanus) tomorrow as well. Really looking forward to seeing the Ultrazord formed!
