I look this up more
often than I should.
So it lives here now. Mechenable is where I keep the mech reference I keep needing. First up is the Metal Build line: every manual on one page, plus the knockoff stands, effect parts, and LEDs that fit these figures. More lines land here over time.
What's inside
- 70 Metal Build instruction manuals
- Direct links to official PDFs on tamashiiweb.com

Compatible finds

Why this exists

Metal Build

Source Links
Third-party parts that fit these figures: stands, effect parts, LED kits, cases, and tools. No vendor ties. The search links just drop you into the right results so you can compare sellers.
