ToyLand: New Arbalest Vr.IV Metal Build Fig from Bandai

This rendition of Kanetake Ebikawa’s Arbalest from Full Metal Panic! has all the weapons you need to protect humanity and an impressive looking repair bay that doubles as a display stand.

This is part of Bandai’s Metal Build action figure series that features mechs from Mobile Suit Gundam, Mazinger Z, and other popular titles. The models are built using a combination of high-quality PVC and die-cast parts. This new model release coincides with the latest chapter in the Full Metal Panic! saga – Invisible Victory – that premieres this month.
