BANDAI Chogokin Kirby & Dragoon Takes Flight With Magnetic Combining Gimmick

BANDAI SPIRITS’ TAMASHII NATIONS is bringing the legendary Air Ride Machine to its Chogokin lineup with the new “Kirby's Sky Rider” release, “Chogokin Kirby & Dragoon.” Priced at 19,800 yen including tax, the collectible is scheduled for release in May 2027.

Dragoon is a legendary Air Ride Machine known for its exceptional gliding ability in “Kirby's Sky Rider”. In City Trial mode, players must collect three parts scattered across the field to assemble the complete machine. The Chogokin release recreates that separation and combination mechanic, allowing collectors to reenact everything from gathering the components to placing Kirby aboard Dragoon.

The Dragoon measures approximately 8.3 inches long, faithfully reproducing the red markings across its white body, the downward-curving claws on either side, and its colorful rear fins. The nose and main body incorporate die-cast zinc alloy, with die-cast parts accounting for approximately 60% of the entire machine. Magnets secure the nose section during assembly and hold Kirby in place, recreating his low riding position as he pilots Dragoon through the sky.

A built-in LED illuminates the booster, while four lighting patterns recreate different operating states. The clear display stand can be adjusted to pose Dragoon with its nose tilted upward in flight. It also transforms into a dedicated parts display stand, allowing each component to be exhibited separately. The lighting feature requires three LR44 batteries, sold separately.
