MECHA SMILE, the mecha-focused brand from Japanese figure maker GOOD SMILE COMPANY, has announced that two new products based on Gold Lios, the Thunder Emperor of a Hundred Beasts, from the original mecha anime DANDIVINE are in development! The golden lion will join both the pre-assembled combining toy line THE GATTAI and the plastic model kit line MODEROID. Release dates have yet to be announced.
The mysterious lion-shaped machine Gold Lios, the Thunder Emperor of a Hundred Beasts, makes a sudden entrance in the anime’s third episode. When Dandivine finds itself in danger while fighting an Aposdoll, Gold Lios intervenes, transforms into its robot mode and defeats the enemy with a single attack. Piloted by the mysterious transfer student Suruga Uekara, Gold Lios can transform into a robot on its own, unlike the unmanned Divine Beasts that form Dandivine. Although the machine is already remarkably powerful, its pilot’s inexperience and overconfidence prevent him from bringing out its full potential.
Following an earlier glimpse during a program, clearer prototype images of THE GATTAI DX Gold Lios have now been released after the machine’s name was officially revealed. In lion mode, molded colors and metallic paint recreate its jet-black body and golden lion head. A view from the back also reveals an array of bladed weapons and parts of its articulation mechanisms. Like its on-screen counterpart, the figure will transform from lion mode into robot mode, though the robot form had not yet been revealed at the time of the announcement.
A plastic model kit version, MODEROID Gold Lios, is also in development alongside the THE GATTAI figure. It will follow the same format as the previously announced MODEROID DANDIVINE (Action Model). For now, only a CG image of the lion mode has been revealed, with further details to be announced at a later date.
