The New SMP Turbo Megazord Reveal Just Exceeded All My Expectations

Bandai Candy just unveiled the first look at the SMP Turbo Megazord (RV Robo) and the engineering is lightyears ahead of the original DX toys.

Man, I thought I knew what to expect from the SMP line, but Bandai Candy just threw a total curveball with the reveal of the Turbo Megazord (also known as RV Robo)! I was scrolling through the latest updates from the Power Rangers Turbo (Gekisou Sentai Carranger) line, and honestly, the level of detail they’ve packed into these five vehicles is just unreal. I’m already clearing space on my shelf for this gem.

What really blows me away is how they handled the ‘Gekisou Gattai’ (Battle Shift) sequence. Usually, with kits at this scale, you lose some of that sleek car aesthetic once they combine, or the robot ends up looking like a stiff brick. But look at these promos! The Turbo Megazord looks so lean and well-proportioned. They even went the extra mile to carve mechanical details into the underside of the car parts that form the back of the robot. That’s the kind of ‘better than expected’ attention to detail that keeps me hooked on this hobby.

But the real kicker? The articulation. The original 90s DX toy was basically a statue, but this SMP [SHOKUGAN MODELING PROJECT] version features modern pull-out joints in the shoulders, hips, and ankles. I’m already imagining posing it in that iconic Turbo Steel Slash (RV Sword Gekisou Giri) finishing move. I mean, look at that high-kneeling pose! Being able to pull off dynamic action with a transforming kit is a dream come true.

And for the hardcore nostalgic geeks out there, Bandai included a dedicated ‘DX Toy Stance’ mode. You can actually adjust the leg connectors to mimic that classic, chunky vintage toy silhouette with the offset leg axis. It’s like they knew exactly how to hit us with that double dose of modern tech and old-school vibes. I don’t have an official price or release date yet, but the anticipation is killing me. This isn’t just another release; it looks like a definitive version for any Sentai or Power Rangers collector.
