Bandai Pokemon Plamo Collection Fossil Pokemon Series Tyrantrum

Dig up the King of the Fossils

Tyrantrum joins Bandai's Fossil Pokémon Series in the Pokemon Plamo Collection, and this kit does something most model kits don't: it builds twice. Snap the bone-white skeleton together first, then add the outer body pieces over the top to bring the finished maroon and orange Tyrantrum to life, without pulling anything apart in between.

It's a fun pick for anyone who grew up with the Fossil Pokémon idea from the games, and an easy entry point if Gunpla-style kits are new to you.

Build difficulty

This is a Skill Level 1 kit, Bandai's easiest tier. Parts are colour-moulded and snap together by hand, no cement, no paint, and no nippers needed for the vast majority of parts. A reasonable pick for a first-ever model kit, a rainy afternoon build, or a Pokémon fan who's curious about the hobby but hasn't tried a Gunpla-style kit before.

Technical highlights

The skeleton build is the standout feature: a fully jointed spine, jaw and limb skeleton that stands and poses on its own clear display stand before a single outer-body piece goes on. Once the maroon, orange and grey outer armour is added, the completed Tyrantrum keeps the same points of articulation, so the finished pose doesn't have to match the skeleton pose. Everything is colour-separated in the plastic itself, so there's no painting required at either stage.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Two builds, one kit: assemble the skeleton first, then complete the outer body, for two very different display looks from one box.
  • Skill Level 1 simplicity: no glue, no paint, and barely any tools, making it one of the most approachable kits Mecha Express stocks.
  • Show-accurate colour moulding: maroon, orange, grey and white plastic straight from the runners for the completed form.
  • Included display stand: supports the skeleton-mode pose, which needs the extra stability.
  • Genuine Fossil Pokémon nostalgia: built around the "dig it up, then bring it to life" idea from the games.

What's In The Box

  • Tyrantrum skeleton runners (bone-white plastic)
  • Tyrantrum outer body runners (maroon, orange, grey and white plastic)
  • Clear display stand
  • Instruction manual

Compatible Kits

Tyrantrum ships with its own display stand and doesn't need an Action Base or other accessory to display. It doesn't share parts or accessories with any other kit in the range.

What to watch for

This is a genuinely new release (February 2026), so builder feedback is still thin. A general web search and a targeted look for community write-ups turned up official Bandai and retailer listings only, no independent build reports yet. Nothing has surfaced to flag as a known issue, but treat that as not yet documented rather than confirmed trouble-free.

Build Notes

No glue needed. No paint needed. Basic hobby nippers are handy but not essential for most parts. Build the skeleton first, then the outer body, in the order the manual sets out. Expect well under an hour for the full build given the low part count and Skill Level 1 rating. Recommended age 6+.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.1. Most adults & children can assemble Skill Level 1 kits with little to no difficulty. Very basic hobby tools are recommended including a pair of nippers, a hobby knife, but are not essential. No Glue is needed for these kits. Kits are all snap together build and most parts can be removed by twisting and pushing without the need to snip with nippers.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
