Aura Battler - Dunbine
The first Aura Battler piloted by Zama Sho.
A prototype Aura Battler developed by Shute. Three units were manufactured, and the purple-painted unit is piloted by Sho. It is characterized by a significant change in performance based on the pilot's Aura Power, making it difficult to control for those with low Aura Power like the Common Tribe. Conversely, a powerful Aura user can maximize its performance. The unit piloted by Sho achieved great results under his Aura Power.
It's been a long time since I've had a toy that made me go 'wow' when I opened the box!
The main height is approximately 13 cm. This Shadow Finish version not only fully colors the previously released Dunbine but also adds shading. The chest is made with iridescent colors, and the claws are painted to resemble bone, giving the overall look like a model kit crafted by a high-end model maker. Additional accessories include a launchable claw effect piece on the forearms, Billbine carrying accessory, and special effect parts for the spirit sword.
The Aura Battler has always been a must-have for me. The quality of this Dunbine is vastly superior to the previous Side AB, with a top-notch appearance in addition to being fully painted. The cockpit and wings are reproduced with transparent parts, and the shape and proportions are impressive! The articulation is decent, although the joint tightness is a bit loose, but it won’t tip backward under the weight on the back while standing, which deserves praise. Most importantly, the QC is indeed not bad!!
In short, this product is superbly exquisite! It doesn't matter if you're a fan of the Aura Battlers; if you're a toy enthusiast, you must get one!
