The Metal Build line is an offshoot from the chogokin toys that tend to fetch high prices due to the materials used and the complexity of the engineering involved. We already had a nicerelated, albeit with a far more stylized look to them. That is still very much the case, but these days we also have mecha fromOVAs, the Bellvine was never animated. Moreover, the color scheme being used here is from the Kingdom of Na, which was used in the original TV series..
This new Metal Build toy looks far closer to Kazumi Fujita’s original design work and that alone is impressive. Doubly so as it actually transforms between mobile suit and wave rider modes. Metal Build toys are very much a prestige purchase though, not least for all the work that goes into making them but also the rather high price points they tend to fetch. The latter is still very much in effect, as the yen exchange rate is pushing up the prices even further.
