Transforms and combines with Yohohoi Yohohoi in a brilliant manner! Akiba Research Institute's editorial department tried making a plastic toy model of "Kikai Sentai ZENKAIJAR", "Mini-Pla Zenkai Goudai Series 03: Kaisoku Goudai Tsukaio Set"!

Following "Zenkaio Juragaon" in March and "Zenkaio Bloomagine" in April, "Mini-Pla Zenkai Gosei Series 03 Kaisoku Gosei Tsukaio Set" was released in June.

The set is accompanied by the singing voice of "Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho yo! and returns every time after wreaking havoc on the battlefield. The robot Two Kaio can change into two modes, transforming not only into its mother ship, the crocodile-shaped Kaizoku Battleship Crocodio, but also separating into the jet fighter Cross Kaio and the off-road motorcycle Crawling O. The robot can also be transformed into the "Crocodile Type Kaizoku Battleship Crocodio," which can be used as a battle ship. It also transforms into the original toy and Mini-Pla form, the "Crocodile Die Bazooka" in turret mode, making it a truly multifaceted figure!

The Akiba Research Institute's editorial department has reviewed this kit, which is full of romance, and which is sure to stimulate the spirit of robot lovers with its multistage transformation and separation/combination.

Incidentally, "Kaizoku" is an abbreviation for "world pirates" who roam around various parallel worlds.

The "Mini-Pla Zenkai Gaitai Series 03: Kaizoku Gaitai Tsukaio Set" includes a total of four models: 1. This time, the "extension parts" that came with "Zenkaio Juragaon" and "Zenkaio Bloomagine" are not included, but how will they turn out?

Let's take a look at the set box as usual!

The design of the box brings to the forefront the appeal of the ZENKAIO, which can transform into two forms. It's very exciting!

Next, let's take a look at each mode!

■Crocodile-shaped Crocodile Eagle

First, let's start with the crocodile-shaped Kaiyaku battleship, Crocodile Dio.

It can freely travel between parallel worlds and can also navigate in outer space, so its habitability is not so bad. It can also bite its enemies with its bow, making it a truly versatile battleship!

The large gyroscopic section at the bottom of the ship provides excellent stability when displayed.

The details are also quite detailed, and just by smiling it down, it looks much tighter.

The mouth can be opened wide. Bite attack on the enemy!

Ricky & Kattanaa

The twins, Cuttaner and Ricky, are the younger brothers of Zox Goldtweaker. They were originally in human form, but due to a blunder they committed in SD Topia, they have taken on the form of SD characters.

The older brother, Kattanaa, is the robot Shinken-O from "Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. The younger brother, Ricky, is based on the robot O-Ranger Robo from "Choryoku Sentai O-Ranger. At first glance, they may look like SD characters of the original robots.

They each carry a weapon on their backs.

Movable parts are the neck and arms.

The arms can rotate up and down,

and can swing back and forth slightly. Legs can rotate their toes.

Molded colors and stickers, reproduce the colors almost exactly as set.

■Crocodai-o & Crawling-o

Next is a separate form of Crocodai O!

First is the Cross Chi-Oh, which is composed of the upper parts. It excels in high-speed aerial combat and is unaffected by any bad weather!

The black part at the very back is Kattanaa's boarding position.

The transformation is extremely simple: just separate the upper and lower parts of the Crocodie-O and stand the rear base.

And here is the Crawling O. It is an off-road bike that dominates the land, and can run over any terrain with ease.

The Crawling O is complete when the lower parts are raised and the stand for standing is raised.

Of course, Ricky can be mounted. The "Super Ricky Gun" mounted on the vehicle looks strong!

By the way, according to the official "ZENKAIJAR" blog, there were originally no plans to split the Crocodio into separate parts, but when director Hiroshi Butsuda saw the design, he remarked, "A mere battleship is boring now! He said, "A mere battleship is boring now! Takuya Tsurumaki of Plex, who was in charge of toy design, came up with the separation gimmick on the spot.

The design is so perfectly suited to the model that it is hard to imagine that there was such a live episode.

Transforms into a ■Tsukaio Cuttaner!

Now, it's time to transform into the long-awaited Two Kaioh!

First, let's start with the Kurokodai-o form.

Open your mouth wide and place Kattanaa or Ricky in your mouth.

In the movie, the transformation starts with the mouth closed, but we can't reproduce that in the plastic model, so let's remove the cuttaner and ricky once and close the mouth.

What? Is this sequence necessary?

The basis of boondoggle is to reproduce impressive scenes from the original work! Rather, is there any reason why this gimmick is unnecessary!

...... Sorry, I'm distracted.

Let's continue the transformation.

After unfolding the main wing parts 180 degrees

After deploying the wing parts 180°, the thigh parts are set up 90°, and the waist is rotated 90° to form the body of the "Zuukai O"!

Then deploy the chest plate to the front, and set the cutterner on the body!

Set the "Cuttaner Sword" on the top of Ricky's head.

It is attached to his left arm!

On the back waist, a super Ricky gun is mounted.

Then, replace the head with one for the "Two Kai O Cuttaner" to complete the figure!

The "flame" mark on the chest is reproduced with stickers. Since the stickers are quite detailed, you may want to use tweezers here.

The movable range of both shoulders is about this much.

The right arm can be turned up about 100°, and the left arm can be turned up almost 180°. The head can rotate 360°!

Hips can rotate 360°!

Hip joints can be deployed 180°. Even with the benefit of the deformation gimmick, the range of motion is quite wide.

The legs are movable as shown here.

The left leg can be bent 90° at the base of the thigh and at the knee.

The right leg can be bent more than 300 degrees at the knee. Thanks to the transforming gimmick, the range of motion is amazing. Thanks to this feature, the figure can be posed quite freely.

If she wanted to, she could even stand on her right leg alone!

The right arm can be bent nearly 90 degrees. Furthermore, there are two roll axes, one between the second arm and shoulder parts, and the other at the elbow part, so the arm can be moved quite freely.

Transforms into Two Kai O Ricky!

Next, it transforms into Two Kaio Ricky.

Contrary to the Two Kaio Cuttaner, rotate the waist so that the silver side becomes the front.

Then, set the super Ricky gun on the cuttaner.

From now on, combine the cuttaner with the right arm. And the left arm is detached from the wrist part and stored in the head part of Crocodio. Then set the ricky.

On the waist, mount the cuttaner sword.

As with the Tsudaio Cuttaner, the head parts are replaced.

By the way, if you look at this head from behind, you can see ......

The detail of Ricky's head has been made perfectly. It is really detailed! You can't help but feel the determination of Bandai's Candy Division in making even the parts that can't be seen.

Ricky the Two Kai O is now complete!

Posing!

So, let's try out the various poses!

Holding up the Kattana sword!

Too cool! ......

Evil will not be tolerated! Posing as if

A one-on-one battle with the Battle Caesar robot in a field of silver grass with the setting sun in the background. ...... Many of you might give episode 14, which is so impressive, as your best bout. (though it has only appeared in a few episodes)

During that battle, I tried to recreate the powerful slashing action that I unleashed on the Battle Caesar Robo.

And to top it off!

Imagine the Battle Caesar Robo exploding in the background!

Next up is the Two Kaio Ricky.

It looks good in the pose of holding it at the waist and firing it. Even in the play, it attacked the enemy with this posture.

Target lock-on!

Haaaaaaaaahhh!

The super Ricky gun is firing!

Chest parts and other parts are color-coded with stickers. Blending the stickers along the details gives a three-dimensional effect, and the stickers adhere to the parts well!

I'm still surprised that the figure can stand on its own even in such a bold pose.

Full burst! Pose like this. In fact, the left arm was used to eat an enemy missile.

It tickles my curiosity to see how far I can go to recreate the action in the movie!

■Transforms into a Crocodile Bazooka!

Finally, we introduce the Crocodile Bazooka in turret form!

From the Crocodile O form, the main wings are raised.

Then, it opens its mouth and ......

Combine and set the cuttaner sword and super ricky gun!

Then, put Kattanaa and Ricky on the wheels.

This form seems to have been conceived during the prototype stage of the toy, and is said to be an original toy and Mini-Pla mode.

Will it be reflected in the movie?

This is why we introduced the Mini-Pla "Two Kai O." At the beginning of this article, there are "extension parts!

At the beginning of this article, I asked myself if "extension parts" were necessary. But when I built it, I found it to be so complete that there was no need to expand it any further.

It is cool to display and fun to play with!

I think this kit is a masterpiece in the history of Mini-Pla.

Please get your hands on one and experience this excitement for yourself!

Four months after the start of the broadcast, the Mini-Pla series has already reached its third installment! At this pace, I wonder how many robots will appear by the end of the broadcast. ......

At this rate, how many robots will appear by the end of the broadcast?
