Image features all the GaoRanger products listed for pre-sale so far this year, including varients of GaoKing, GaoHunter alonsige the SMP Storage Series. As mentioned in Bandai's official blog, GaoKnight is purposefully missing from this reissue.

Finally, my custom silver-colored with some touch-ups, TimeRobo is finished.After I spray-painted it silver, it looked super clean and shiny, so I also tried to make it look a bit dirty/weathered. There’s still some left to do, which I’ll finish later.

In my opinion, it’s a bit of a downgrade from Magiking because some parts feel a bit fragile and likely to break. But after the silver paint, it looks really cool.

Thank you to the guys who gave me tips about using spray cans.

Finally. I received the one that make me feel in love with SMP kits for the first time. Can’t wait to start to build it!

I'm going with yo-do gozyuger and so-do gavv

The two Gavarion are a little bit useless but it was funny to paint. Now I'm waiting for the real minipla.

My dark magiking unexpectedly came in today

To get a second God King-Ohger, I bought another Legend Shugods Kit and colored them with the missing colors : Pink Kabuto, Orange Scorpion and Green Grasshopper.

I got in the Pladelu Saber & Laser set, though so far have only painted Laser.

I’m unfortunately not that impressed. Hopefully the Pladelu line will continue to improve, but these aux don’t really seem too much better than the nerfed minipla.

Aside from the head/emogear, all of Saber’s parts are magenta plastic. So all the blue and black (plus details) are painted. Since the solar panels aren’t molded on, I also used those stickers.

And unlike the Cosmo Gavarion itself, which has a transforming head with a pretty beautifully pre-painted face, these don’t transform. The emogear is just a white chunk, hollow in back, with stickers for the emogear eyes. The robot head is two pieces, but the only thing painted is the magenta disc in the middle and the other details are left colorless.

Beyond that, for some reason they chose a moving hinge to attach the chestplate pieces of the solar panels, even though I don’t think those sections of Laser ever fold etc, so it’s basically just asking for trouble if you transform it too often.

first time posting here haha.I got the king candelar minipla recently and finished building it. Used the dsipae metallic markers to paint it but I think I botched the sword since it did not really turn out well lolq

I bought the Aquarion last year, but the weapons and accessories were sold separately. It took a while to find them, but I finally managed to get them at the right price.

I really like how it turned out and I'm kinda sad I wasn't able to get a second one to display in the combined jet mode

Blue mode is my least favorite since the proportions are terrible but I see it as a nice extra feature to have , mode red is spectacular (even tho I prefer the look with out the shoulder cockpits since I honestly never realize the show suit had them in the first place) the articulation is great and you can get a lot done with it

Also the hole in the back of the hands is silly but it's a commendable attempt

I think that's the best way to describe this kit over all

Just a commendable attempt of all it tried to do with a few shortcomings but and overall incredible result

Might be my favorite Sentai Minipla Kit overall
