Logo-supersentaiThis article is about a cross-series toyline in the Super Sentai series.


Minipla (or Mini Pla) (ミニプラ Minipura) is a toyline featuring plastic model kits of Super Sentai Giant Robots.[1]

Overview

Minipla sets are made of plastic parts cast in the same color as their assembled model (though there are some exceptions), with extra detail provided by stickers (fair warning: some stickers are hard to remove once applied and other simply won't stay put), but can be painted via customization. Minipla models are also smaller than their DX scale toys, with some having better quality. Compared most DX toys, Minipla models have a tradition of adding extra points of articulation wherever possible while keeping the same functions as the DX scale toys. The models are jointed with hinges and ball joints. Cheat parts are also used if a set-up is too complex for the scale. Minipla robo models are usually sold in boxed packs of five or six, each containing parts for a model of a specific mecha.

Super Minipla

In 2016, Bandai introduced the Super Minipla (スーパーミニプラ Sūpā Minipla) line that featured high-grade model kits targeted at adult collectors.[2] Super Minipla models are still packaged in multiple boxes and include a piece of Ramune candy just like the standard Minipla kits. The box art is designed to reflect the look of the original DX packaging. The Super Minipla sets feature models from the start of the Super Sentai franchise to just before the 2000s series. The kits also use less stickers and feature more painted and molded details, plus higher complexity and a more staggered release schedule and theme.

Aside from the Super Sentai series, the Super Minipla line also includes model kits for Super Robot series, such as the Brave series, and Denkou Choujin GridmanIcon-crosswiki, plus many others.
