About Dio (2016 BJCC)

Background, key features and collector notes for this figure

Background

Dio is one of the original and most iconic molds in the BeastBox line, a fierce robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex. As a member of the Dragonox faction, its design emphasizes its predatory nature and mechanical power. This specific version, BB-01C3, presents the classic Dio in a light and dark blue color scheme with red and white accents, highlighting its status as a special edition.

Key Features

Transforms from a 4cm cube to a T-Rex
Limited Beijing Comic-Con (BJCC) 2016 exclusive

Release Notes

Released in January 2016, BB-01C3 Dio was a limited-run exclusive available only at the Beijing Comic-Con (BJCC). This early, exclusive release is notable for being packaged without the clear plastic storage and display cube (a "Box Charger") that became standard with many later general releases.

Alt Modes

Tyrannosaurus Rex
4cm Cube

Collectibility

As a 2016 convention exclusive, this version of Dio is significantly rarer than its mass-retail counterparts. Its appeal lies in its scarcity, its striking and unique color scheme, and its status as a variant of the very first BeastBox mold, BB-01. For collectors, it represents an important piece of the toy line's history.
