KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE x METAL BUILD, finally here!

First of all, what's surprising is the sheer amount of detail. By combining the new interpretation of Takato Yamashita (PLEX Co., Ltd.), who was also involved in the main design, with the unique technology cultivated in METAL BUILD series, a new KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE has been born, standing on a whole new stage.

The distinctive fluorescent armor was interpreted as having a slightly greenish tint, based on an analysis of the colors used in the show and previous models, to maintain balance with the overall design. Silver and gunmetal paint were added to the black undersuit to match the details. The entire figure features arrangements and coloring that match the cybernetic worldview of "KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE".

This high level of detail not only increases the amount of visual information,Designed and constructed as "parts necessary for movement" to express the movement of the skeleton and muscles.For example, the neck features a mechanism where the joint and the outer casing work together to "extend" (see image above). This allows the head to be angled in any direction without compromising its appearance.

The back features armor that resembles muscles, and a structure that opens up the back muscles and shoulder blades when the shoulders are brought together. The chest has a built-in spring that contracts when tension is applied.It does. The internal mechanics peeking out from the gaps in the open armor and the beautiful S-shaped spine-like details are also highlights. Please also check out the articulation demonstration video of the early factory prototype.

Clear material is used for the Hopper Eyes, the red parts of the forearms, and the Hiden Zero-One Driver, while the joints are designed to intentionally show the die-cast material. This combination of different materials further enhances the texture.

PARTS (Included parts)

KAMEN RIDER ZERO-ONE is appealing for its smart and futuristic design. One of the features of this item is that it leverages that individuality, reconsidering and reconstructing everything from the body to the gadgets with even higher resolution.

The newly designed base features a sturdy metal support to hold the heavy figure securely, and a movable support with a large effect part that evokes the transformation sequence. The large effect part consists of a yen resembling the communications satellite Zea, with plate-like parts on either side, and the bases of each part move independently.

The effect parts for the chest and thighs areA metallic foil stamp is applied from the back, creating a double-layered structure where the circuit board-like details are visible through the foil.This is the effect image that Takato Yamashita designed in 2D specifically for this figure, which is then brought to life by utilizing the characteristics of 3D materials.
The removed armor also features intricate mechanical details on its underside. Furthermore, the entire model utilizes a technique that extends the paintwork to the very edges of the parts.

ACTION

Based on the aforementioned gimmick,"When you raise your arms, the shoulder muscles move towards your neck, and the muscles under your arms bulge." "When you spread your legs, the parts are pulled out and the gaps are filled."This allows for realistic posing based on human anatomy.
