A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The fantastic Linebarrel mecha is back, in a whole new version: LINEBARREL OVERDRIVE! The titular mecha (and some would say star) of the anime sensation Linebarrels of Iron was designed for fierce close-combat, but includes a hidden tail weapon for long-range engagements. When in grave danger, Linebarrel can override its pilot’s commands to transform into Overdrive mode, becoming more powerful and unleashing additional weaponry and armor!

Linebarrel Overdrive is cast in multiple colors (eliminating any need for painting) from over 300 individual parts, and stands over 6 inches tall (in 1/144 scale with the other Linebarrels of Iron mecha). The mecha has approximately 30 point of articulation with special elbow and knee joints that exceed 90 degrees of movement for a wide range of dynamic combat poses. In addition to the standard twin blades (each housed in sheathes on his forearms), Linebarrel Overdrive has additional heavy armor and weaponry, as well as a special display base for flying poses. Pictorial assembly instructions are included to help guide you in making this plastic model kit into the awesome combat machine.
