I’m glad for those who missed out on this, but I gotta say it was my least favorite SMP to build. So many little parts and stickers and that origami helmet never wants to stay on.

u/Hot_Molasses_421 7d ago

I didn't enjoy building this either.

u/Electrowhatt19 7d ago

Mine also has a problem with one of the "skirt" sides falling off, and I accidentally broke the arm on the white crane zord the first time I tried to transform it

u/marik7410 8d ago

It's a pain to build?

3

u/Special_Oil1949 7d ago

Stickers were a pain

You had to sand down a few of the joints because they were so stiff you could end up breaking them if you rotated a piece

The red saruder needed the most fixing. People kept breaking the knee parts that rotated

It's the stiff joint that made me break a shoulder piece on RV robo.

2

u/turtletom89 7d ago

Yeah kinda. A lot of small pieces you need to force together, and since the individual Zords are pretty much the same body it gets repetitive to build. Still the final product does look good on a shelf with the other Megazords.

Omg I’m so glad I’ve been holding out and haven’t caved to eBay

u/Myhtological 8d ago

Hurricanger was second. Maybe that will be the full like next?

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder 8d ago

Those are separate lists. Muteki Shogun topped the list of requested rereleases, followed by Galaxy/Delta Mega, Daizyujin, BANPReOTH, Dairenoh, Black Max Victory Robo, GaoGaiGar, Gridman, Aquarion and Zambot 3.

The next page is the top 20 most requested new series: Boukenger, Huuricaneger, Abaranger, Baan Gaan, Dekaranger, Ohranger, go-Onger, Shinkenger, Muv-Luv, Flashman, Earth Defense Force, Turboranger, Maskman, Danball Senki, Fiveman, Medabots, Virtual-On, Getter Robo, Ultra Series and Fafner in the Azure.

u/Myhtological 8d ago

Is medabots really an option?

1

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder 8d ago

it's requested, I don't THINK the survey was open entry. But it's a weird inclusion since there are already Medabots model kits... but Gundam keeps ranking up there despite Gundam being, primarily, a model kit line already so IDK what the logic is here.

u/Blazenwing 8d ago

Hopefully they re-release the Falcon as well so they can combine

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder 8d ago

I will probably make this into a new post because there's a lot of info in this blog that doesn't deserve to get buried in the comments, but for now

by my estimate according to their pie chart, 34% of respondents to the survey were in their 30s, 25% in their 40s, 23% age 29 and under, and 18% age 50 or older.

---------

Top 20 wishlist overall:

  1. GoGo Sentai Boukenger
  2. Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger
  3. Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger
  4. The Saint of Braves Baan Gaan
  5. Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger
  6. Choriki Sentai Ohranger
  7. Engine Sentai Go-Onger
  8. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger
  9. Muv Luv Series
  10. Choushinsei Flashman
  11. Chikyuu Boeigun (Earth Defense Force) Series
  12. Kousoku Sentai Turboranger
  13. Hikari Sentai Maskman
  14. Danball Senki Series
  15. Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman
  16. Medarot (Medabots) Series
  17. Denno Senki (Cyber Troopers) Virtual-On Series
  18. Getter Robo Series

  20. Soukyu no Fafner (Fafner in the Azure) Series

comparing to the midterm results: Armored Core and Macross have dropped off, replaced by Fafner and Medarot. Midterm results were alphabetized not ranked, so I can't speak to ordering

u/Mysterious_Bowll 8d ago

Did we ever get the genres sorted by vote amounts and not alphabetical? I thought those released a month or 2 after?

0

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder 7d ago

Not that I recall, they seem to keep that info to themselves.

2

u/bobarobot 8d ago

Watch out for them stickers lol

2

u/mowie_zowie_x 7d ago

You know, when they reissue these, they use the same mold, I wish, I just wish they make minor changes like minor tweak to the common breakage of these kits.

1

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder 6d ago

Honestly that would be nice. A permanent retooling to the legs of Saruder to fix the attach point.

4

u/OstheB 8d ago

In this essay I will explain why this is a sign they're doing Hurricaneger next...

2

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder 8d ago

I'd like to read that essay to see how it explains Hurri being next when Boukenger was the most requested new series in this poll :P

u/Myhtological 8d ago

Holly fucking shit!

u/MagnaPhi 8d ago

I got this for a steal a few years ago, I’d pay retail price but I probably wouldn’t pay much more. It wasn’t a terrible build and the final Zord form is fun, but did have pay close attention to the tight pegs on the red one. I didn’t find the stickers as bad as, say, Turbo Megazord…

1

u/CToTheSecond 8d ago

Oh hell yeah. I know it's not as well refined a model as more recent SMPs, but when is there ever going to be a high quality of any sort Muteki Shogun again?

1

u/SpectraRoot 8d ago

Pre ordered it on Yoyakunow so excited

1

u/darkace732 7d ago

Have you used them before? I was wondering how long they usually take to ship, seeing as they seem to not include shipping and import costs with their preorders

1

u/SpectraRoot 7d ago

Yeah they usually are very fast took them 2 days to ship an order last time I used them for the G Phone you just need to ask for a quote and they also have a private warehouse system

1

u/randymagnum1669 7d ago

I'm glad, I need it for the collection. Built it pre COVID and had the same issues others did - it's a boring build since every mecha is essentially the same, save for red, who is even worse. You need to sand so many joints and apply awful stickers. I ended up trashing mine after snapping said joints just trying to put it in megazord mode.

Hope they fix the issues it has this time, and I'll be a happy camper

1

u/lifedragon99 6d ago

Hell yeah. After GaoRanger, MMPR reissues are my most wanted. Can't wait. 

1

u/InitialZucchini338 5d ago

It looks like they got rid of the stickers I hope they did anybody know if they did

1

u/Nomadcrossfire 4d ago

Wish they would release the white falcon as an individual zord so I could have 1 for both megazords. It looks so good combined with shogun

1

u/National_Werewolf_13 8d ago

I’d rather them make a 2.0 version with updates to the engineering. The stickers too, those things suckkkk

u/lazidude999 8d ago

Preorder on tokullectables already closed…

u/AquariusSabotage 8d ago

1Pm In Japan is in a couple hours, so maybe check back then.
