Unboxing the Unattainable: What’s Inside the Box?
If you are fortunate enough to hold a MODEL CLUB CLASS A ver.00 box, discard your expectations of colorful retail packaging. The ver.00 arrives in a matte black archival box with a foil-stamped schematic. Inside, you will find:
- The Chromed Skeleton: Unlike standard kits where chrome is a top coat, ver.00 uses metallic injection molding. The internal frame arrives with a mirror-like finish on the runners.
- Photo-Etched Circuitry: A single fret of 0.1mm thick German steel featuring micro-engraved circuit paths. These are meant to overlay the transparent armor panels.
- The "Zero" Manual: Hand-drawn blueprints by the lead engineer, complete with torque specifications for the included micro-screws (yes, screws, not snap-fit).
- Certificate of Authenticity: Hand-signed and numbered. For ver.00, this certificate is printed on heat-sensitive paper that turns gold when touched.
4. Aesthetic and Design Analysis
- Original mechanical/character design: Identify influences (e.g., Maschinen Krieger, Armored Core, or original mecha).
- Surface detail: Panel lines, rivets, greebles – assess functional realism vs. stylized embellishment.
- Poseability: Fixed pose (typical) or multi-joint (rare for resin “ver.00”).
Why Is It So Expensive? The Secondary Market Analysis
As of this writing, the last verified sale of a MODEL CLUB CLASS A ver.00 occurred on Yahoo Japan Auctions in October 2023. The final bid: ¥420,000 (approx. $2,800 USD). An assembled, painted version once sold for ¥850,000 at Mandarake Complex.
Why the price?
- Catastrophic Mold Failure: The original silicone mold for the ver.00 was destroyed during the casting process after 50 units. The master mold literally crumbled. There will never be a reprint.
- The "00" Premium: Collectors pay a 300% premium for the "ver.00" stamp over the standard CLASS A (ver.01) which sells for roughly ¥120,000.
- Completion Rate: Experts estimate that only 30 of the 50 kits exist in unbuilt condition. The other 20 were likely destroyed by amateur builders. A built ver.00 is actually rarer than a sealed one because the fragility of the resin makes assembly a high-risk activity.
