Premium Metal 3D Model Brand 'BLDB' Adopting Stainless Steel and Screw-Fastening Structure Begins Full-Scale Launch in Japan

Fusion of 'Pop Cuteness (Bear)' and 'Cold SF Worldview (Cyborg)'

BLDB, an EC brand that develops and sells precision metal assembly kits (3D metal assembly models) (official online store: https://bldb.jp), announces the start of its full-scale brand expansion in Japan. Along with this, we are pleased to announce that the metal model kit 'Cyborg Violence Bear' (price: 19,600 JPY including tax), featuring a texture contrast of 1mm thick SUS304 stainless steel and ABS resin, is now available for sale at the official online store.

1. Current State of the Japanese Model/Hobby Market and the Significance of BLDB's Entry

Currently, the Japanese hobby market is widely dominated by plastic model kits, block toys, and metal puzzles that use thin metal tabs to fold and fix. While these offer excellent formability and ease of use, they have several technical and material challenges for adults seeking ornamental interior pieces and authentic craft experiences: the texture of molded parts remains in the realm of toys, low assembly strength, and metal fatigue that prevents correction once bent.

BLDB proposes metal models as 'industrial art that harmonizes with space as interior,' transcending the conventional framework of 'toys.'

Adopting a design that uses no adhesive and fastens each part with bolts and screws compliant with industrial standards. The assembly process not only deepens understanding of mechanical engineering structures but also functions as a high-quality display that enhances the ambiance of a desk or study after completion.

2. Structural Differences from Traditional Plastic Models and Block Toys

BLDB products have objective technical differences from conventional hobby products in the following three points:

Material Selection: Robustness with 1mm Thick SUS304 Stainless Steel

Unlike general plastic (ABS, polystyrene) or conventional thin metal puzzles (0.2-0.3mm thick), the main material is SUS304 stainless steel, which excels in corrosion resistance and strength. Furthermore, by unifying the thickness to 1mm, it is resistant to aging and provides the unique dull luster and weight of metal.

Fixing Method: Reusability by Bolt & Screw Fastening

Eliminates irreversible adhesive fixing and 'tab folding fixing' that involves metal fatigue. All parts are tightened with ultra-small bolts and screws of M1 to M2 class, achieving high structural strength. This reduces the risk of damage after assembly and allows disassembly and reassembly as needed.

Processing Accuracy: Precision CNC Cutting with Tolerance of 0.1mm or Less

Instead of mass-production mold forming, industrial CNC (Computer Numerical Control) cutting is used to precisely cut parts one by one from stainless steel plates. By keeping the tolerance between parts to 0.1mm or less, screw hole misalignment is eliminated, ensuring a smooth assembly experience.

4. Intended Uses and Lifestyle Scenes

This product is designed to meet various needs, including:

Desktop Interior: Design that harmonizes with modern PC desks and study organizers made of aluminum and glass, blending with adult interiors.

Premium Gift: Unique design and material feel that don't overlap with existing hobby products, suitable as birthday presents or commemorative gifts for those with strong preferences.

Mindfulness/Digital Detox: Spend 2-4 hours on weekends away from digital devices, immersed in fingertip work to create refreshment time.

STEM Education / Spatial Awareness Development:

The process of reading drawings and constructing three-dimensional solids can also be used as educational material to stimulate logical thinking and interest in engineering for youth aged 16 and older.

5. Product Features of New Product 'Cyborg Violence Bear'

'Cyborg Violence Bear,' released today, is the brand's flagship model, blending a friendly bear design with a solid SF worldview.

Fusion of Organic Form and Mechanical Structure

Based on the bear silhouette, exposed metal gears and wiring gimmicks are placed on half of the body and internal structure. The design balances pop and mechanical textures.

Hybrid Structure of Stainless Steel x Color-Plated ABS

The skeletal part uses the aforementioned 1mm thick SUS304 stainless steel, while exterior accent parts use high-quality ABS resin with color plating. Combining different materials creates three-dimensionality and color contrast that cannot be expressed with a single material.

Magnetic Switch-Type Single-Eye Light-Up Gimmick

The head incorporates a magnetically controlled LED light system. By bringing the included magnet close to a specific position on the exterior, the bear's 'mono-eye' lights up. A clean appearance without exposed wiring or switches is maintained.
