ROBOT Spirits Aura Battler Billbine

I absolutely love that sword slashing effect part !!

its got a very Reideenish bird mode to it. Sprung for this one and still trying to get the vintage one

I've never seen "Dunbine", but Ibecame quite familiar with the bio-tech aura battlers over the decades, and the Billbine is certainly one of my favorites. (I had the larger transformable 1/48 kit when I was younger, but was unable to build or paint it how I wanted.) So I would be absolutely thrilled to get one of these!

Well, what should I call in English....transparent-shield feature will be implemented!

Just the other day, I saw photos of the Billbine's test model with no clear-blue canopy. But that's the final version, I'm relieved!

That must be a masterpiece of Billbine...I hope :p
(HG plastic model of Billbine was sad, 10 years ago...)

Still, Billbine reminds me of a dark side of the history....Billbine led to the bankruptcy of a toy company.

To complement design works of Aura Battlers, Yutaka Izubuchi draw "Bellvine".

I just hope the out-of-print picture book "Aura Fantasm" will be re-sold. Looks impossible, though.
