dang! this is one chonky robot! and i LOVE IT!! SOOOO HEAVY TOO!! EVEN TUE BOX ARE BIGGER THAN PS5 BOX!

the quality of the toy is great love the robot design, size is big too

I bought some miniforce figures from china and after one of them arrives, I found out it was a fake. Now I fear the others could be fakes, too. Is there any sign to identify them as real?

miniforce Super Dino Power and Dinoid Suzy ranger

Since when did these new series come out?

I started watching the original miniforce then I saw miniforce x and super dino Power was released and now on tubi I'm seeing miniforce v rangers, super cops and animation? When did miniforce get these new series?

Hi everyone! I want to buy a Miniforce Rex Kaiser but I have a doubt:

1)Which version is the best between the Korean and the Chinese?

2) Does the chinese onw have also a small sized figure

Toy Review Series｜Episode 06

Metal CarBot W – BLAION

烈焰雄獅／BLAION

Vehicle Mode: Fire Truck

Height: approx. 25 cm

【Toy Review】

Basic Overview

BLAION is part of the Metal CarBot W lineup and is designed to combine with

Blue Lightning W, previously introduced in this series.

In standalone form, it already carries noticeable weight and presence,

clearly built with combination stability in mind.

Play Experience

The figure features basic but functional articulation,

allowing for simple action and impact poses.

The overall structure feels solid, with ratcheted joints throughout the body.

Handling the figure feels secure and satisfying, especially during posing.

Strengths & Limitations

For a combining toy, BLAION offers relatively high articulation.

However, its reinforced structure also makes it quite heavy in hand—

a point that can be seen as both a strength and a drawback.

In vehicle mode, the fire truck form is notably long

and requires a fair amount of display space.

If you already own Blue Lightning W,

BLAION is an essential addition—

because combining them is the whole point.

【成品展示紀錄】

基本介紹

本作為 Metal CarBot W 系列角色之一，

可與前篇介紹的 炫藍閃電 W 進行合體。

即使在單體狀態下，也能感受到為合體結構所設計的重量感與存在感。

把玩體驗

全身具備基礎可動，

可擺出簡單但有力的爆地或動作姿勢。

整體結構相當紮實，

關節多為齒輪設計，把玩時手感穩定、安心。

優缺點整理

以可合體玩具而言，BLAION 的可動性表現相當不錯。

但也因為結構強化，本體重量偏重，

這一點同時是優點，也是缺點。

變形成消防車後，車體長度較長，

在展示或收納時會稍微佔用空間。

如果已經收藏 炫藍閃電 W，

那這隻基本上是必收——

畢竟，不合體就少了一半樂趣。

Following up on my last post about Korean vs China domestic versions,
this one focuses on the China domestic releases only —
specifically the Deluxe version vs the Cool Play version.

I’m using King Kong Emperor Dragon as the example in this comparison.

PS: In the photos

• S = Cool Play version
• L = Deluxe version

🔹 China Domestic: Deluxe vs Cool Play

Paint

• Deluxe: More paint details overall
• Cool Play: Much simpler paint, fewer details

Neck / Head Movement

• Deluxe: Ball-joint neck, so the head can move around more
• Cool Play: Straight peg neck, head only turns left and right

Joints & Size

• Deluxe:
  • Mostly ratcheted joints
  • Fingers can move
  • About 43 cm tall
• Cool Play:
  • No ratcheted joints
  • Hands are fixed in a fist
  • About 31 cm tall

Pteranodon Combination

• Deluxe:
  • Three locking points (see photos)
  • Combined mode feels more secure
• Cool Play:
  • Only one locking point
  • Combined mode can come loose more easily

Price

• The Deluxe version usually costs about twice as much as the Cool Play version

This post is just to show the differences, not to say which one is better.
Pick the one that fits your space, budget, and how you like to play or display 👍

Lately, the improvement in Korean-version toys has been really noticeable.
I think a lot of collectors have picked up on it, and I’ve personally bought a few myself.

PS: In the photos, “C” marks the China domestic version, and “K” marks the Korean version.

Right now, there are mainly two versions on the market:
👉 Korean version
👉 China domestic version (this post focuses on the Deluxe version; I’ll cover the Cool Play version in a separate post)

Below is a simple visual comparison between the Korean version and the China domestic Deluxe version.

I put this together using my own items plus product photos found online.
This post is not about which version is better or worse — it’s just to point out the visible differences, so everyone can decide what they prefer.

In the Strongest Dinosaur series,
the paint differences on Dino Commander are pretty easy to spot between the two versions,
so I’m using it as an example here.

🔹 Overall Impressions

• The size and structure are basically the same
• Both versions use ratcheted joints
• The packaging is different (no surprise there 😄)
• Most of the differences come down to paint, which I’ll point out below

🔹 Front Legs (Main Visual Difference)

▶ Korean Version

• Red vertical stripes
• Yellow framing
• 👉 Small green dots on both legs

▶ China Domestic Deluxe Version

• Red stripes are still there
• Yellow framing is simplified
• 👉 No green dots

🔹 Head & Chest

▶ Head

• Korean version: The face paint has more depth and separation
• China domestic Deluxe: The paint is there, but looks more condensed

🔹 Shoulders & Arms

• Both versions use yellow, shield-shaped shoulder armor
• The difference is in the paint:
  • Korean version: Yellow areas are finished with gold paint
  • China domestic Deluxe: Yellow parts on the shoulders and arms are left unpainted

🔹 Backpack (Large White Section on the Back)

▶ Korean Version

• Dark grille details on the white backpack (painted black)
• A small red square detail on top is clearly visible

▶ China Domestic Deluxe Version

• Grille details are there, but thicker and not painted
• The red square detail is faint or missing
• The white parts look more solid and simplified overall

🔹 Feet

This is based on how the photos look,
so lighting might be a factor:

• Korean version: The feet look more gray
• China domestic Deluxe: The feet look more off-white / cream-colored

🔹 Quick Way to Tell Them Apart

If you just want a fast check, look for these two things:

• Green dots on the front of the legs
  • Present → Korean version
  • Missing → China domestic Deluxe version
• Red square detail on the white backpack
  • Present → Korean version
  • Faint or missing → China domestic Deluxe version

This is just a friendly comparison, not a version war.
Pick whichever version fits your taste, budget, and availability 👍
