Series Assembly Guide FAQ

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 REQUIRED
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.
No Cement Required

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.

No Painting Required

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I build the skeleton or the complete Tyrantrum, or both?

Both, from the same kit. You build the bone-white skeleton first, then add the outer body pieces over it to complete the maroon and orange Tyrantrum. Nothing needs to be taken apart between stages.

Does this kit need glue, paint or any tools?

No. It's a Skill Level 1 snap-fit kit. Parts are moulded in the finished colours, so there's no painting to do, and no glue or tools are required, not even nippers for most parts.

What age is this kit suitable for?

Bandai rates the Pokemon Plamo Collection Fossil Pokemon Series Tyrantrum at ages 6 and up, making it one of the easiest builds in the Mecha Express range. Older builders will still enjoy the skeleton-to-full-form build gimmick.

Does it come with a display stand?

Yes. A clear display stand is included, and it's used for the skeleton-mode build in particular, since that pose needs the extra support.

Is this suitable as a gift for a Pokemon fan who's never built a model kit before?

It's a strong first-kit pick. Skill Level 1, no tools, no glue, no paint, and the two-stage skeleton build gives a genuine wow moment partway through that a straightforward single-build kit doesn't have.

Amazing Build, my Grandson loved it!

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
