Snackgirls editor note
Red: The key point this time is that Goldleo and Zilbatiga have opened up in four preorder paths at once. The choice starts with whether to look only at the standard versions or go as far as the metallic ones.
Nea: The standard versions are 8,300 yen each, and the Royal Metallic versions are 12,000 yen each. If you want to display both machines side by side, it is worth calculating the total cost and shipping first.

The standard versions are 8,300 yen, and the metallic versions are 12,000 yen
According to the official product pages, the preorder lineup includes MODEROID Goldleo, MODEROID Zilbatiga, and each kit’s ROYAL METALLIC Ver.. The standard versions are listed at 8,300 yen each, while the Royal Metallic versions are listed at 12,000 yen each.
The preorder period runs from July 21 to September 2, 2026, with shipping scheduled for January 2027. If you plan to display both machines together, the budget changes significantly depending on whether you choose the two standard kits or include the metallic versions as well.
The display value of placing Goldleo and Zilbatiga together is the main appeal
Good Smile’s official description presents Goldleo and Zilbatiga with the assumption that they can be displayed together. More than a single standalone kit, the image of placing the golden lion and silver tiger side by side feels closer to the appeal of this preorder round.
Because these are part of the MODEROID line, they are assembly model kits rather than completed figures. Rather than treating the painted sample photos as if they show finished products out of the box, it is safer to consider the assembly difficulty along with your preferences for stickers and painting.
The Royal Metallic versions are about surface finish more than price
The Royal Metallic versions are higher-end releases that emphasize partial metallic specifications. Since they cost more than the standard versions, they are better suited to readers who expect the shine seen in the photos and a stronger presence under display-case lighting.
On the other hand, if the goal is the assembly itself and recreating the machines, the standard versions still cover the core shapes. The currently confirmed details are from Good Smile’s official Japanese preorder information, and domestic pricing, shipping fees, and arrival schedules should be checked separately before placing an actual order.
