The kit fully recreates the Super Change transformation from Normal Mode to Super Mode without replacement parts. It stands about 140mm tall in Normal Mode and about 170mm in Super Mode. The weapon Billit Stick and a purchase bonus Star Piece are included. Release is scheduled for May 2027 at 8,700 yen.
Good Smile Company is bringing Kabutack from 'Beetleborgs Kabutack' into its MODEROID assembled plastic model series. The kit recreates the Super Change gimmick that shifts the robot from Normal Mode to Super Mode, and no replacement parts are needed to make the switch.
The model stands about 140mm tall in Normal Mode and about 170mm in Super Mode. Molded colors, pre-painted parts, and stickers aim to match the on-screen look with assembly alone. Three pre-painted expression parts for Normal Mode come in the box, along with three unpainted ones that pair with stickers.
The helmet in Normal Mode doubles as a shield in Super Mode, and the weapon Billit Stick is included with a clear molded section. A pre-painted completed Star Piece, key to the story, is the purchase bonus from the official Good Smile Company shop.
