If you are of the generation that was baptized by 80s robot anime, just hearing the name ”Special Armored Battalion Dorvack” might make your heart race. From such a legendary work, ”Mugen Calibur” has finally been revived as a complete transformation model in the MODEROID series. It is not just about nostalgia; because modern technology has been poured into it, the dream of that time returns to your hands in an even more evolved form—that is the true value of this product. It is a masterpiece truly worthy of being called a fusion of nostalgia and innovation.

The greatest charm of MODEROID Mugen Calibur is its ”complete transformation without replacement parts.” This structure, which transforms seamlessly from Land Calibur to Mugen Calibur without removing any parts during the sequence of movements, is sure to make adults familiar with robot toys groan in admiration. In this gimmick, one can feel the obsession and passion of the designers that goes beyond mere reproduction, reminding us of the depth of the act of ”transformation” every time we pick it up.

From the Armor Rifle and grenades to the double-barreled rapid-fire gun MAC-11 Mozart—the abundance of weaponry is also a major attraction of this kit. In particular, the Armor Rifle is equipped with a gimmick that allows it to be stored in the leg through a barrel removal and folding mechanism, providing the ”joy of moving it” that goes beyond being a simple accessory. Also, don’t miss the playful touch where the grenade, which can be removed from the leg rack, can be attached to the Armor Rifle. Even after assembly, new discoveries await every time you pick it up to play.

A point that fans will love is that a mini-figure of the protagonist, Mugen Masato, is included. Moreover, it has the surprising specification of being able to transform while the figure remains seated in the cockpit. This attention to detail perfectly connects the worldviews of the anime and the plastic model, instantly accelerating the user's imagination. A slightly larger cockpit and a dedicated figure to emphasize the appearance in Land Calibur mode are also included, and you will likely be overwhelmed by the ”seriousness” carried through to the finest details.

One of the charms unique to the MODEROID series is that it results in a finish quite close to the completed form just by assembling it. High completeness is achieved even without painting, thanks to the molding colors of each part, pre-colored parts, and water-slide decals for reproducing markings. It is easy for plastic model beginners to get into, and because its quality as a base for modification or painting is high even for advanced users, it is a highly satisfying model for all levels.
