Good Smile Company announced a MODEROID plastic model kit of UFO Warrior Dai Apolon from the 1976 TV anime. The kit includes three Apollo robots that combine into Dai Apolon, recreating the series' combination gimmick. It is set for release in February 2027.
The MODEROID kit comes as a set of three simplified-action Apollo robots: Apollo Header, Apollo Trangu, and Apollo Legger. They combine into Dai Apolon, standing about 175mm tall when fully assembled. The kit also allows partial combination, a play value unique to the MODEROID version.
Colored parts, painted components, and stickers reproduce the series' color scheme without painting. Joints are articulated for action poses. The included Dai Apolon Ball weapon comes with a dedicated holding hand, and the Space Clear fighter that protagonist Takeshi pilots can be stored in the Apollo Header or Dai Apolon's chest.
