My newest obsession from the world of tokusatsu collectibles is the mini-pla line. These are small plastic models that you assemble to form pretty decent action figures of various Super Sentai mecha that transform and combine like they do in the shows. Over the past few months I've accumulated a bunch of these guys and wasn't really sure where to start.
After thinking it over far too much I decided to start with the mecha of my favourite character from one of the first Super Sentai shows I watched, Ressha Sentai ToQger. Basically, Rainbow Imagination Train Rangers would be the American title which I'm sure we'll never actually see :(
So that brings us to ToQ Rokugou the orange sixth ranger who's a reformed Shadow Line rain monster that plays sad harmonica despite being clad in neon safety orange. I love him so much.
ToQ 6-gou drives the
Build Ressha double train that forms Build Ressha Gattai Dai-Oh which makes up 3/4 of the boxes in this wave of ToQger mini-pla.
The fourth and final box in this wave contains the Drill Ressha, one of the auxiliary weapon trains that can replace an arm on Build Ressha Gattai Dai-Oh, ToQ-Oh, or Diesel-Oh.

| The trains can connect because that's what trains do. |
