Around last year there has been a new Mecha toys lineup that caught my interest called Robot Build which is made by manufacturer called Earnestcore craft and they appear to be of Chinese origin. Their product lineups reminds From Software's Armored core series but with more sense of individuality especially the humanoid types. For the newest entry, they are making a bulky Aerial type mecha unit named RB-13V Valhallan which is just a sick looking design. This one appears will be sold for 9500 Yen with early Q2 2023 release schedule but not sure whether this one will be distributed by Wave for Japanese channel like the previous series.
From the first glance, RB-13V Valhallan looks like a Protagonist mecha specializing in Aerial combat with its Rifle weapon capable of changing into dual blades for melee choice. This mecha is also have transformation gimmick into Jet fighter and Geno Breaker expy. Valhallan leaves very strong impression on me since it really reminds me of a crossbreed between Murakumo Unit and Crest Type armored core which are both made by From Software. For the reference here is the model kit for Murakumo made by Plum few years ago.
