Japanese model maker Megahouse's "Lupin Gallery (LUPIN THE GALLERY)" series, which meticulously pursues the maximum charm of the "Lupin the 3rd" worldview, finally releases its long-awaited third new installment after many years: "Lupin the 3rd LUPIN THE GALLERY Punk at dawn!". The suggested retail price is 24,200 JPY, and it is scheduled for release in January 2025.
The protagonist "Lupin" from Japanese manga artist Monkey Punch's work "Lupin the 3rd" is the grandson of the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin. He is skilled in thievery and adept at disguise, escape, fraud, and other techniques required for stealing. Before a heist, he sends out a calling card and is known as the world's greatest thief. With his companions, the seductive female thief Fujiko Mine, the sharpshooter Daisuke Jigen, and the master swordsman Goemon Ishikawa XIII, they steal treasures from all over the world. Even with Inspector Koichi Zenigata, who is always one step behind, pursuing them with all his might, there's nothing they can't steal.
The long-awaited third installment, "Lupin the 3rd LUPIN THE GALLERY Punk at dawn!", continues the series' style of exploring the Lupin the 3rd worldview through vehicles and characters. This time, it is inspired by the familiar scene of Lupin and Jigen getting a flat tire during their journey, recreating Jigen changing the tire on Lupin's beloved car—the Fiat 500. Made from composite materials such as ABS and die-cast alloy, it boasts an excellent exterior design. Movable mechanisms are designed for the hood, left and right doors, and trunk, and the steering wheel is linked to the front wheels, allowing for full enjoyment.
Lupin lights a cigarette at dawn, the glow of the cigarette tip illuminating his face. He leans casually against the car body, presenting a calm and composed posture. Jigen, with a cigarette in his mouth, holds a lug wrench in his hand and has his jacket placed on the car roof, appearing understated and steady. The entire scene exudes a tranquil atmosphere before dawn!
