As for the figure itself it promises to be a new combination of style and enjoyable transformation and fans will enjoy playing with. He also includes a small arsenal of weapons and a clear mount that allows him to carry most of his weapons on him in both modes. He's scheduled to be released in January 2026 in Japan and around March 2026 in the US. The price is going to be contentious, sitting at 24,200 JPY (currently about $165 USD) MSRP in Japan, though Japanese retailers have it considerably lower. For the US price Hasbro has it listed on Pulse for $175, but other popular US retailers are pricing him for as much as $200. Despite that, fans from the US buying from Japan may find that the cost of tariffs and higher shipping prices will likely be paying more than Hasbro's prices even with those Japanese retail discounts.
