As we mentioned previously, the positively regal Billbine will be receiving a Robot Damashii toy this July. Even more wonderful is the fact that Dunbine will also receive similar treatment later this year. For long time readers of this site you’ll know we seriously wub Aura Battler Dunbine and these toys are just exquisite. The fact we’re also getting a Dunbine and one of this quality is really fantastic as far as we’re concerned. In any case, this Dunbine toy will be out in October of this year and will cost 4,410 yen.
Honestly, more excited about this one than the Billbine. I just love the fantasy mecha concept (Escaflowne, Rayearth, Wings of Rean), and the Dunbine feels more in line with that overall style than the Billbine.
Funny thing about the titles that you mentioned….Dunbine came out before any of them. Still, I agree with you on the look of the Dunbine–it’s truly unique, with its fusion of organic and mechanical.
I also liked the Billbine (or Billvine), but yeah, you are right that it has a more high-tech look.
Now if only someone could re-issue Dunbine on DVD…
