This expensive collector piece was revealed only yesterday, but now we have our first official look at the Tamashii Lab Laser Blade from Space Sheriff Gavan!
As reported previously this impressive item features an IR sensor that lets the Laser Blade detect your hand as you slide ir up the blade to “charge” it in the same way that Gavan does for his Gavan Dynamic attack. Whilst doing so you can press a button on the hilt to the either the series BGM, or rapidly press it to recreate sound effects from the show. These images also confirm the inclusion of the fantastic set of display hands to hold the Laser blade. See the promo video below with the legendary actor who played Gavan, Mr. Kenji Ohba, demonstrating these wonderful features.
The Tamashii Lab Laser Blade is set for January 2017 release for a whopping 16,200 yen.
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.
