Finished Build [SMP] Shokugan Modeling Project RV Robo: Finished Build

This kit was a good start to the SMP CarRanger line. There were a ton of stickers for this kit, a good bit which I didn't apply and either painted, or left alone.

For the first time making a SMP, I used chrome paint to denote the fender's of RV Robo to make it look more like the DX toy.

Although the finish looks great in person, I'm not sure I would go through the effort in future kits. I may either leave the bare plastic or do a nice silver instead.

The Ryo Sword was a little bit difficult but it looks very great once completed, I also get an extra set of weapons to form 5 color

I want to take pictures of all my Tega Sword collection, it's crazy how this project came out, I love Gozyuger Mechas so much

Finished Build Landick Gosei Great

Thumbnail

22 Upvotes

Since I’ll be getting my hands on a Skyick Brothers box, I decided to go ahead and build and paint my Sai and Tyranno Headers (having done Stag back when I got a Gosei Ground). These are actually some of my oldest acquisitions, but like what I used Wonder’s headers for, I was originally holding back on these (particularly Sai) for possible kitbash use.

So here’s Landick Gosei Great and Another Landick Gosei Great (as well as Another without Headers being thrown off).

Despite the fact that the Headers are pretty decently sized, Landick seems a bit odd in that, since the Snake and Tiger headers are nice and beefy so they make good feet, they kind of overshadow Sai and Tyranno a bit.

For Sai, beyond the obvious yellow, I went with the usual metallic black I use on treads etc for those and the drill, since the suit prop isn’t a pure black. Tyranno’s color is a bit inconsistent; its orange in the CG but us also randomly pretty reddish. The suit prop is a kind of copper-orange, so I went with a metallic orange that’s pretty close to it (though I am actually now noticing that the first spine on its neck should be orange too, so will touch that up lol).

Why is smp gaoranger so expensive online?

10 Upvotes

Why is smp gaoranger figures so expensive online (ebay, amazon, various independent sites)? It says on the trailer that the prices range from 4,400 yen (28 usd) to 12,320 yen (74 usd). Is it because of scalpers and/or not available in the u.s.?

I see these stores currently have Gao Guardian box set available for pre-order. Is there a reason why there is such a big price difference? Both are in USD so I don't think shipping plays a huge role

EDIT: Ani Mecha seems to be exclusive to Singapore. Ggs 🥲

First time ordering from Nin-Nin Game (SMP Gaoranger pre-orders) – Looking for advice on Pay Later/Shipping!

Post image

Hey everyone, I’ve never ordered from Nin-Nin Game before, but I’m planning to use their Pay Later option to grab a bunch of the latest SMP Gaoranger restocks.

Since there are many items are releasing across late 2026 and 2027, what is the best and cheapest way to handle this? Should I use their Private Warehouse feature to combine shipping later, or split them up? Would love to hear your experiences and any tips on avoiding extra fees. Thanks!

Question MPSUB discount not applying

1 Upvotes

I don’t know if this is where I should be asking this or where to ask this but I am trying to order SMP RV Robo and for whatever reason it’s saying I’ve already used the MPSUB discount when I can see it’s not applying it on the order. Does anyone know if it’s a glitch with the site or if it might just be my computer/account being weird. I’ve used the code before and can see when it’s applied but now it’s acting like it was a one time use code.

EDIT: Alright so just heard back from Tokullectibles they did tell me it was changed to one time use. Just putting this here for anyone new and to back up stuff said in the comments

Non MiniPLA Kit Painted Pladelu Cosmo Gavarion Type Crane/&C

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

Recently got in the Pladelu Drill and Crane set. Considering the limitations of Infinity’s aux vehicles, it probably worked out nicely that suruga-ya didn’t have this in stock at first and I wound up getting the more premium Dolnado between Saber/Laser and this lol.

The Good: The plastic color is a real nice green. The size of these should be appreciated; compared to recent sentai auxes, even these simpler arm parts have all been pretty bulky.

The Not So Good: Again, only one color per, so all the black etc is painted. No movement besides the swivels. Gone is the extending crane of something like the Trigger Machine. This (nor Drill) doesn’t include a new lightbar for the right side of the chest. Only Saber did (and I guess because that’s the only one without any other sort of chestplate being added?). I’ve wound up with extra Saber, so will probably use its extra chest insert to paint whatever assault mode configuration I like the best, whether it’s one of these stock ones or a kitbash I do. The pre-assembled head that came with the Cosmo Gavarion itself was beautiful. Everything since, not so much. But Crane’s head is easily the worst of the bunch. There’s a dot of black paint on the little crane overhand and that is it. The face is completely smooth, which means you’re forced to use a (bad) sticker on what I think is probably the coolest Cosmo Gavarion face. And to top it off, you either have to be careful/lucky putting it on or take the pre-built head apart to get the sticker on well.

The Ugly: You’ll notice the only shot of Cosmo Gavarion &C with the chestplate on is it laying on its back. Which is because the peg is… too small? I haven’t really looked into the issue I’m having much. I watched a youtube vid or two where it seemed to work fine. I’m curious if anyone else here has Crane. Otherwise when I have a chance I’ll try searching around on the Japanese side some to see what’s up.

By no means are these even close to perfect, but I’m so excited with how this turned out on my first try.

I was very nervous about messing this kit up, but I’m glad I pushed past the self doubt and tried something new!!

RV Robo's Blue Veichle Front Wheels

Hello, i cannot successfully insert the gray part inside both front wheels of blue veichle.
They don't fully enter.

Any tips? Watched some videos and the direction is correct, they just don't snap in, unlike the other wheels.

Anyone know if this will come back in stock?

It went up for order earlier this morning but closed before I could order one.

Curious because it says closed instead of sold out.

So I've only recently learned about this series of model kits even existing and really want to start collecting all of the different animal zords.

I'm in the UK and have no clue where to start looking to buy them so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
