The popular die-cast action figure series "METAL BUILD", issued by Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS Collectors Division TAMASHII NATIONS, has officially announced its latest product from "Kamen Rider Zero-One", the "Kamen Rider Zero-One", slated for release in May 2026.
The protagonist of the series, Aruto Hiden, is the young president who takes over the AI company "Hiden Intelligence". He transforms into Kamen Rider Zero-One using the "Hiden Zero-One Driver" left by the first president, Korenosuke Hiden, and "Progrise Keys" containing the power of living creatures. With this power, he resolves the rampaging Humagear incidents caused by the terrorist organization "MetsubouJinrai.net". In his basic "Rising Hopper" form, he possesses exceptionally outstanding jumping ability and can unleash his Rider Kick finisher, "Rising Impact".
The "METAL BUILD Kamen Rider Zero-One" is crafted at a height of 21 cm. The overall design has been reinterpreted by Takato Yamashita, who was involved in the design of "Kamen Rider Zero-One" in the series. Based on the original settings, elements suitable for the METAL BUILD product line have been incorporated, giving the originally sleek suit a rich metallic and weighty texture. The green armor parts further integrate elegant curves with a cracked armor design, utilizing composite materials such as clear parts, alloy parts, and metallic-textured parts to construct high-density details and layering.
To express the image of a tokusatsu hero transformed from a human, the overall appearance also integrates human muscle curves and skeletal imagery, combined with rich articulation designs to reproduce a flexible range of motion akin to the human body. This includes independent articulation for subtle angle adjustments in the head area, articulated divisions and exterior tracking linkage in the neck joint, muscle and bone-like interlocking mechanisms in the torso exterior, and shoulder blade-like back armor linkage, among others. This allows for posing in various natural and cool combat stances.
Accessories include the exclusive weapon "Attache Calibur", which can transform from briefcase mode to sword mode. A set of effect parts, made of transparent material with circuit board pattern printing, can be attached by deploying 8 armor sections across the body, creating an even more exaggerated and cool appearance than seen in the show. The dedicated display stand not only includes a support arm to recreate the "Rising Impact" Rider Kick pose, but its overall design also features an original METAL BUILD aesthetic. The base is printed with a circuit board pattern and includes a circular effect modeled after the "Zea Satellite".
