Celebrating 10 Years: A New Theatrical Experience

Exquisite Design and Engineering

The Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex’s appearance in the METAL ROBOT Damashii series is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. The figure’s design was meticulously overseen by Washio Naohiro, who was responsible for the Mobile Suit’s original mechanical design in the Gundam Barbatos series. Sakano Ryuu, known for his work on the “METAL BUILD Evangelion” series, took charge of the structural engineering. This collaboration ensures not only a faithful recreation of the anime’s proportions but also a robust and weighty feel, thanks to the extensive use of die-cast parts in its internal structure.

Dynamic Features and Accessories

This figure is packed with dynamic features, capturing the Mobile Suit’s fierce presence! It includes the imposing Ultra Large Mace, deployable sub-arms on both wrists, and leg pile bunkers. The Ultra Large Mace can even be mounted on the figure’s back, allowing you to recreate its iconic equipped form straight from the show. Furthermore, a wealth of optional parts, such as the Tail Blade ejection cable, are included, letting fans recreate epic battle scenes with incredible detail and flair.

A major highlight of this METAL ROBOT Damashii figure is its exceptional range of articulation, allowing for a vast array of poses—from thrilling action stances to serene standby positions. This high degree of freedom in movement lets you relive beloved scenes from the series with unprecedented fidelity. To further enhance the display, an eye-glow effect part is included to replicate Barbatos Lupus Rex’s berserk state. This effect is mounted on a ball joint, enabling angle adjustments for an even more immersive and dramatic presentation.
