Legacy Collection what? It looks like Tamashii Nations is getting in on premium 1:1 scale replicas for a whole new subset of fans, specifically Metal Heroes. We’ve just gotten our first look at the upcoming Tamashii Lab Laser Blade! A lifesize replica of Space Sheriff Gavan’s signature weapon.
This surprising piece looks to be one of the most complex replica weapons Bandai has produced to date. Featuring an IR sensor, the Laser Blade allows you to slide your hand up the blade to “charge” it in the same way that Gavan does for his Gavan Dynamic attack. Whilst doing so the Blade lights up in sequence and plays the appropriate sound effects while also playing the series’ BGM!
The Tamashii Lab Laser Blade is set for January 2017 release for a whopping 16,200 yen. Currently it’s believed to be a Premium Bandai exclusive releases but we don’t have confirmation on that as of yet.
Eat your heart out Legacy Collection!
For fans of Metal Heroes and the original in particular this is huge, literally. Tamashii Nations has jut announced a 1:1 scale replica of Space Sheriff Gavan's signature Laser Blade!
Tamashii Lab Laser Blade
Retail Price 16,200
January 2017
Most likely a Premium Bandai release but we aren't sure yet.
Features an IR sensor that activates when sliding your hand down the blade. Activates light and sound effects replicating what Gavan does to use his Gavan Dynamic attack. It also plays the series BGM while doing this.
Holy frijoles! I want this quite badly!
Same! I absolutely positively must and will own this. It's a dream come true to see a perfect 1:1 scale Metal Hero weapon.
Yeah this is neat I guess, but I don’t care about Gavan. Or about paying 150 bucks + shipping and handling for a role-playing weapon.
Considering the features, the price seems quite reasonable. I never knew I wanted one of these so badly!
I don't suppose those hand displays are included?
Cool. Hope this goes well for Metal Hero fans, and you get more out of these.
Would be cool if we could get some Rider/Sentai gizmos eventually.
I don't suppose those hand displays are included?
I've never watched any of the shows in the Metal Heroes series but the idea of a role play toy with an IR sensor so you don't look like an idiot when you mimic something from the show and nothing happens is awesome. Really hope they make some Kamen Rider and Super Sentai weapons that are 1:1 scale with similar features down the line.
