Super Sentai Gekisou Sentai Carranger
Gekisou Sentai Carranger is covered here by Bandai's SMP VRV Robo in its limited edition, a kit that builds the VRV Machines and combines them into the robot. SMP assembles from runners rather than arriving built. UK delivery is free.
Collector's Guide
Collectibles
Carranger's mecha are the draw. VRV Robo is the one that rewards a kit format most, because the combination is the point rather than a bonus.
- SMP VRV Robo (Limited Edition): each VRV Machine builds on its own with its own vehicle and robot modes, then they combine into the finished robot, so the transformation engineering is part of what you assemble.
- SMP is Bandai's Shokugan Modeling Project, a candy toy line of snap-together kits that needs no glue or paint, though panel lining rewards the effort.
The kit sits under Super Sentai alongside the rest of the series copy. It is filed under model kits rather than figures, since it arrives on runners.
Why Collectors Love It
Carranger ran in 1996 as Super Sentai's outright comedy year, a traffic safety parody in which the heroes worked at a car customisation shop and the villains were the Bowzock, a gang of intergalactic road hooligans. The tone was a deliberate swerve after Ohranger. It landed well enough that the series became the source for Power Rangers Turbo. VRV Robo is the point where the comedy stops undercutting the spectacle: a heavy secondary mecha delivered by VRV Master, built from emergency and construction vehicles instead of racers, giving the team a second silhouette with real weight to it. For collectors, an SMP kit is the format that lets that combination be handled rather than admired.
