When Kamen Rider Zero-One first appeared, many viewers were likely captivated by his sharp form and futuristic visuals. That Zero-One has finally been made into a three-dimensional figure as part of the METAL BUILD series. However, this is not a mere reproduction. This is a “movable work of art” that reconstructs the hero’s presence. Robust die-cast material is used in the joints, and the substantial weight felt with every movement offers an experience that transcends the category of a simple action figure. We want you to confirm the sense of the hero “being there” with your own hands.

The interpretation of designer Takato Yamashita breathes throughout this METAL BUILD version of Zero-One. While maintaining the original grasshopper motif, contemporary metal expression and metallic paintwork bring forth a heroic image imbued with new meaning. The energy lines flowing from the gaps in the armor, the sense of density in the complexly constructed form—the visuals created by these elements offer fresh discoveries just by looking at them. Here is a sculpt that can convey the hero's “strength” through visual details alone.

The articulation mechanism is also impossible to ignore. A structure that evokes human muscles and skeletons allows for natural and dynamic posing from any angle. In particular, the transformation gimmick of his weapon, the “Attache Calibur,” is breathtaking; the two-stage deployment from its case state provides a sensation closer to a mechanical gadget than a mere toy. Furthermore, by utilizing the included effect parts, you can create a sense of presence, as if you are recreating the moment of transformation or the activation scene of the Rising Impact. It would be a waste to simply display this. The joy of moving, posing, directing, and creating your very own Zero-One is expanded.

The true charm of this figure does not stop at its “perfection” as a three-dimensional object. The dedicated stand is equipped with a special structure that supports the Rider Kick via transformation, allowing for aerial action poses to be perfectly staged. Furthermore, the stand’s decoration features a design inspired by the satellite Zea, creating an atmosphere as if a part of the world from the series has been cut out and brought to life. This entire space serves as a stage to draw you into the world of Zero-One, making the display itself a complete story.

It is no exaggeration to say that this Zero-One, produced by the METAL BUILD brand, is a work that has gone beyond the realm of “character goods.” There is absolutely no compromise in its structure, material, paintwork, or presentation—it seems to embody the will contained within the hero Zero-One with its entire being. Heroes are mirrors of the times, a source of emotional support, and symbols of aspiration. You can truly feel that the essence of such a hero resides within this figure.
