SNACK: 3-line summary
- Metamor Verse MV-01A Ao Kiriyama & Blade Liger DRESS CODE #SCARLET releases in Japan on September 26.
- The red Blade Liger can stand beside Ao Kiriyama or supply parts for two Favo Armor modes.
- The Japan price is ¥14,850; retail timing may vary by distributor.
Takara Tomy’s scarlet Ao Kiriyama comes with a red Blade Liger that does more than stand beside her. The paired model splits into parts that attach to Ao Kiriyama, changing the display from two buddies to an armored character.
Snackgirls react
Kirari: I’d photograph the red Blade Liger beside Ao first, then put the armor on her and see how much the silhouette changes.
Red: I want to try the swap myself. Opening the laser blades before moving the buddy parts onto Ao sounds like the fun bit.
Two ways to wear the Blade Liger armor
The buddy’s parts attach in normal and awakened Favo Armor modes. Its laser blades open, giving the standalone Blade Liger another display option before the parts are moved onto Ao Kiriyama.
Faces and assembly details
Ao Kiriyama is a posable 1/10-scale model with three tampo-printed face parts. The kit uses unpainted, color-separated parts for assembly; product photographs show a prototype that may differ from the finished release.
Japan price and cross-kit connections
The kit releases in Japan on September 26 at ¥14,850, though retail timing may vary by distributor. It has 3 mm connections and neck-joint compatibility with separately sold Kotobukiya Frame Arms Girl and Megami Device kits. The recommended age is 15 and up.
