About the 5 Series

Steel Machine God Adamas Machina

The coolness of robot and mecha content is interpreted in a new way and expressed as alloy models. The appeal of these products has been pursued down to their texture and reproduced. We are building a new image of robots and mecha through the design arrangements of various creators. The company's own IP "Transformers" and "ZOIDS" have been reborn as alloy models with new concepts and specifications as the first installment of the "Steel Machine God Adamas Machina" series. In the future, the company plans to expand the series to include various robot content from both its own and other companies.
