Ryujinmaru's first great power-up
Ryuohmaru is the hero mecha in its classic evolved form: the first upgrade Wataru's dragon-spirit partner Ryujinmaru takes on, rebuilt from the ground up for Mashin Souzo Densetsu Wataru (魔神創造伝ワタル), Bandai Namco Filmworks' 2025 TV anime made for the 35th anniversary of the original Mashin Hero Wataru. Where the current run's antagonist mecha Enjyoumaru marks the story's dark turn, Ryuohmaru is the hero side answering it, dropping Ryujinmaru's blue for a dominant white and a more symmetrical twin dragon-head shoulder design. If you're filling out the Wataru mecha shelf, this is the one that carries the hero lineage forward.
Build difficulty
Ryuohmaru goes together on the same common-frame, touch-gate system Bandai uses across the whole current Wataru mecha line, so parts pull free by hand and no cement is needed for a standard build. Bandai rates the kit for builders aged 8 and up, and hasn't published an exact part count, but the boxed weight (290g in a 30.9 x 20.5 x 8.3cm rigid box) sits in line with the rest of the sub-$40 releases in this series, so it's a single-sitting build rather than a marathon one. A solid pick for a first Wataru kit or a quick build night.
Technical highlights
The dragon king head and blue dragon crest on both shoulders are moulded in gold metallic parts rather than painted on, and the signature Star Dragon Sword is reproduced in blue clear plastic, so the colour separation is doing real work straight off the runner. Bandai's common-frame engineering is also what lets Ryuohmaru cross-compatible with the rest of the current Wataru mecha line, so parts can be mixed and matched between kits. We couldn't confirm a specific articulation spec for this exact release from published sources, so we've kept the claims here to what's actually confirmed.
What makes this kit special
-
Gold metallic dragon-head shoulders: the twin dragon king heads and blue dragon crest are moulded in gold metallic parts, not painted, so the detail is there straight out of the box.
-
Blue clear-part Star Dragon Sword: Ryuohmaru's signature weapon comes moulded in clear blue plastic, the kit's one confirmed accessory.
-
Ryujinmaru's classic power-up: this is the hero mecha's first evolved form, a character beat longtime Wataru fans will recognise, rebuilt for the 2025 series.
-
Common-frame cross-compatibility: built on the same shared frame system as the rest of the current Wataru mecha line, so parts play nicely with Enjyoumaru and Raijinmaru on the shelf.
-
Touch-gate, snap-fit build: no glue, no paint, parts pull free by hand for a clean first build.
-
Genuine Bandai Spirits release: official kit from the current Wataru anime line, not a third-party or unlicensed cast.
What's in the box
- Plastic parts runners for Ryuohmaru's full-body assembly (common-frame, touch-gate design)
- Star Dragon Sword (blue clear parts)
- Instruction sheet
This matches Bandai's own published accessory list for the kit. We haven't found any source confirming a display stand is included, so none is listed here.
Compatible kits
No specific compatible display stands or accessories have been confirmed for Ryuohmaru, so none are listed here. No stand is included in the box either. If you're building out the full Wataru mecha roster, the kits below share the same common-frame engineering and are built to combine:

What to watch for
We haven't found independent builder reviews for this specific kit yet, so we can't give verified feedback on fit or finish here. As a general note on Bandai's Wataru common-frame kits: they're designed for touch-gate assembly, so if a joint feels tight, don't force it, a light twist usually seats the part cleanly.
Builder tip: nippers make for cleaner runner removal than twisting alone, even on a no-cement kit like this one.
Build notes
No cement or paint required for a standard build. A pair of nippers is the only tool you really need. Expect a single sitting to complete. Bandai rates this kit for builders aged 8 and up.
