Kotobukiya announces Tyrelbeetle model kit

As previously teased, Kotobukiya has announced a new Medarot model kit based on KWG06-C Tyrelbeetle. The reveal came at the company’s 2018 Summer Wonder Festival booth, where it was naturally displayed alongside Kotobukiya’s upcoming KBT06-C Arcbeetle Dash kit.

Little information about Tyrelbeetle was announced, beyond it being in the same 1/6th scale the previous kits. A release window and pricing details weren’t shared. Nor was there any comment on if Tyrelbeetle and Arcbeetle Dash will be able to combine to form MasterBeetle.

Kotobukiya’s Medarot line started in 2011 with Gun-Nose. Tyrelbeetle marks the ninth release in the series.

Kotobukiya has announced its eighth Medarot model kit, KBT06-C Arcbeetle Dash. Due out in November for ¥5,500, the kit stands at 144mm tall, representing a 1/6 scale recreation. The kit was designed by Mitsunobu Tamura.

Like the other Medarot kits produced by the company, Arcbeetle Dash includes swappable fists and visors, as well as little replica medal and a stand for it. Kotobukiya is promising a great deal of accuracy, with attention to detail focused on the changes from the original Arcbeetle, including a number of completely redesigned back pieces. This also means support for Arcbeetle Dash’s Medachange functionality. While Dash will not feature shootable projectiles, the kit is physically larger than base Arcbeetle.
