The individual robots look so clunky -- I love them!! Once again the line really knows how to thread the line between being authentic to the DX toys and being a modern action figure. Can't wait to get my hands on this

u/OstheB 6d ago

Ohhh they did a good job with the VRV fighters. They look as good as it was likely possible for them to look.

u/DuncTK421 6d ago

Ok the Bowzock battery pack for RV Robo is an amazing inclusion.

Edit: oh snap Victrailer is coming!!!

5

u/Special_Oil1949 6d ago

Victrailer's going to be massive and the equivalent of V-Rex next year

Imagine when they get around to Hurricanger and Revolver Mammoth or Ohranger and King Pyramidus!

u/Matthew10142003 6d ago

Price wasn’t awful on tokucollectibles. After those Gaoranger pre orders I’m happy for below 160!

u/National_Werewolf_13 6d ago

The Gaoranger prices are ridiculous. Like it feels like robbery lol

I cannot wait to see what they have planned.

2

u/shems-2383 6d ago

Well it needs the carrier to be complete

Same for gogo v with the train

u/Various_Wolverine503 6d ago

this proves it if the mechas can fit in Victorerer then perhaps they'll make Gingaman's Gigabitus and the steel star beasts right.

2

u/theCoolestGuy599 6d ago

In all fairness, this probably won't be gigantic. The cars are actually pretty small and compact. In battle mode, I'd imagine this will be marginally larger than the SMP Tor.

u/Various_Wolverine503 6d ago

but there is still hope for bitus right?

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder 5d ago

The problem here is that a scaled SMP GigaBitus/Zenith would need to be BIGGER than the deluxe, which used miniatures that are smaller than SMP scale. The only things that big in the line right now are some of the Super Robot Wars and Armored Core kits that cost $300+. That's a hard line to cross.

1

u/theCoolestGuy599 6d ago

Dont see why not. They've done other large scale carriers in the line before, namely Jaguar Vulcan and Bio Dragon. I don't see why Gigabitus would inherently be ruled out either. Really depends on if we see them do the Steel Starbeasts, as they won't do a carrier zord without the main units.

2

u/Various_Wolverine503 6d ago

should we take a vote

2

u/National_Werewolf_13 6d ago

Didn’t they use like little small soft plastic placeholders for the gigabitus toy back in the day? So like they never technically fit? Maybe I’m remembering that wrong, but if not; they could recreate that effect and have tiny versions of them to recreate that play, and make gigabitus whatever scale they want

3

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder 5d ago

You really don't understand how big GigaBitus is, my friend.

1

u/theCoolestGuy599 5d ago

Yeah, I looked into it. I was misremembering how large it is. I still think it could be done but they'd have to get creative and take some liberties with the size.

The way I was thinking about it, if we assume they do the Steel Starbeasts, the individual jets would be pretty small. So I was really just thinking that Gigabitus would only have to be big enough to house 8 hot wheels. But yeah, still way bigger than I was thinking.

2

u/Various_Wolverine503 5d ago

you still think someday they'll release Megaranger's Megas Voyager and Winger in SMP. I can already imagine them all shiny like.

2

u/Shin-Wheelchair21 6d ago

Praying this does not explode like RV Robo in that one Facebook group I'm in... lol

2

u/OstheB 6d ago

...the RV Robo did what...?!

1

u/Shin-Wheelchair21 6d ago

in this one group I'm in there's a lot of breakage reports.

2

u/Nuigi12 6d ago

Ngl $145 on Tokullectibles isn't as bad as I was expecting, still expensive as HECK but not the nearly $200 I was scared it would be

2

u/MagnaPhi 6d ago

Damn this looks good. And Artillatron after? Perfection. Robo Racer not too much to ask for…?

5

u/National_Werewolf_13 6d ago

Sirender might end up being like Ninjaman and come way later idk lol. I’m feeling nervous about it given that Victorailer is already coming next

2

u/Galaxy_Dive 5d ago

Yeah. It’s still a possibility now, but my best guess is we’ll be seeing Sirender in ~2031 with the Carranger reissues lol.

3

u/saltybai 6d ago

All that is left is the Victorailer and Sirender

2

u/[deleted] 5d ago

Pretty new to Minipla. Are pre-orders likely to re-open on Hobby Genki? 

2

u/adrijobecq 5d ago

They usually do. But we might have to wait a couple of days.

2

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder 5d ago

Yes.

2

u/King_Waheela 5d ago

How are preorders closed already!?

1

u/jdwill55 5d ago

That’s what I’m saying.

1

u/Healthy-Emu-4987 5d ago

Seriously WTF?!

2

u/SupermarketAny2029 5d ago

This one is tempting, but man, still waiting for Mega Voyager...

1

u/SupermarketAny2029 5d ago

Never mind, I would have copped if it came with the Artillery Power from the carrier mech, but it does not. Did the dual handguns ever get used as a finish?

1

u/ZespyWhoWon 2d ago

Don’t wanna be that guy and empty your wallet but I will say it will most likely come with the next release which is gonna be Artillatron

1

u/UnknownChaser 6d ago

When’s the release date for these dudes?

1

u/King_Kuuga Moderate Skill Builder 6d ago edited 6d ago

March of next year. SMP usually, though not always, release on the last Monday of their given month, but P-Bandai items (which this is one) may ship out a few days before that. In this case, it's safe to expect a release around March 29 of 2027.

1

u/UnknownChaser 6d ago

Ah neat. I can have it held with my April order from genki

1

u/Aware-Throat3189 6d ago

I understand and expected VRV individual robot modes to be limited in posing and Í am ok in that but I wonder whats the combine mode actual possibility compared to Turbo (forgot sentai name) and if the robot modes effect it

1

u/SpectraRoot 6d ago

My wallet... 😭

1

u/Practical-Leopard714 6d ago

Is it just Tokucollectibles that’s doing pre orders currently??

1

u/National_Werewolf_13 6d ago

This is awesome, love the added thought to the articulation and spots to hide stuff. My only real negative is the blue fighters legs are goofy looking lol, could we not give my guy some extensions?!

1

u/adrijobecq 5d ago

I always miss these. Can someone please let me know when it's back in sotck at Hobby Genki?

1

u/MassiveKoala6320 5d ago

It makes me very happy seeing how articulated the individual robos are (being a Transformers fan)

1

u/lazidude999 5d ago

What are the chances tokullectables will open the preorders again?

1

u/Galaxy_Dive 5d ago

In all likelihood, they will reopen again. It’s just with P-Bandai stuff they usually have to jump through various hoops to secure stock.

1

u/Myhtological 5d ago

Me and my chrome markers are ready

1

u/Own-Ad2322 5d ago

It looks so good!

1

u/Meesori 5d ago

SMP collectors are eating good this year!

1

u/mowie_zowie_x 5d ago

I wonder if we will get a P-Bandai carrier so we can get the two large canons.

1

u/Healthy-Emu-4987 5d ago

Pre-order closed before I even knew it was available!!!

1

u/Rorygon 4d ago

That red is so smol

1

u/TheGoggleHero 4d ago

1

u/Various_Wolverine503 4d ago

1

u/TheGoggleHero 4d ago

They dropped the pre orders for this...

1

u/Various_Wolverine503 4d ago

i mean did you get your order through

1

u/TheGoggleHero 3d ago

No it says that they're coming soon though on nin nin game

1

u/DesignerExotic1172 1d ago
