From the new show “Linebarrels of Iron” comes a new action figure depicting the titular mecha, the Linebarrel. Featuring a unique design aesthetic combining hard, angular lines with dynamic proportions, the Linebarrel is certainly one of the more interesting mecha designs to come out in a long time.
The Megahouse version of this figure is slated for release late March/early April, will be roughly five and a half inches tall, and will have a retail price of 5,500 yen.
Neat looking robot (though personally I couldn't stand the show. Supposedly the manga is better; I should certainly hope so), kind of Evangelion-meets-Zone-of-the-Enders. The Megahouse linebarrel figure is an all-plastic affair, not all that big either at around 15cm.
This is one of three upcoming Linebarrels figures from "Kurogane no Linebarrels", or "Linebarrels of Iron". The other versions are a manga-style Plastic version from Volks (an exclusive ... boo) and a supposed die-cast gokin version from CM's (Ooo!). Kotobukiya has also made a model kit version. Quite the marketing blitz for one awful show
I blame it on the fantastic mecha design, myself.
I really do like these robot designs.
Damn, that is pretty slick!
