Collector's Guide
Collectibles
Our range features the Dragonar-1 as a finished figure and as a model kit. Tamashii Nations offers it through HI-METAL R as a finished figure of ABS, PVC and die-cast, with opening hatches that reveal the inner frame and the large Cavalier 0 support unit included. Hasegawa offers it as a 1/72 plastic model kit based on Okawara's original design art, with snap-fit parts moulded in colour and decals for the markings.
Why Collectors Love It
Dragonar sits in the stretch of 1980s Sunrise mecha that took its machinery seriously. The metal armours look engineered rather than heroic, which is exactly what makes them rewarding as collectibles: panel lines, hatches and weapon mounts all have a reason to be there. Official pieces of its lead machine sit well beside other mecha from the same era.
