Amazing 3rd Party Mecha Model Kits

Third-party mecha model kits are original-IP designs from independent Chinese manufacturers - not Gundam, but built in the same snap-fit plastic format that Gunpla builders already know. What sets them apart is the value density: most kits ship with 20+ runners, full weapon loadouts, display bases, and water slide decals included in the box at price points that would buy you a P-Bandai add-on set. Brands in this collection include SNAA (Western fantasy knights and Chinese imperial mecha), Motor Nuclear (Three Kingdoms and Chinese mythology at 1/72 scale with alloy frames), Infinite Dimension / IN ERA+ (engineering-dense industrial military designs), Ming Jiang Legend (historical Chinese figures as large-format mecha), EDDAS (alloy-framed original designs), Hemoxian/NonZero (1/10 scale mecha-girl hybrid kits), and a growing roster of studios pushing the format in new directions. Build complexity ranges from beginner-friendly 1/144 kits comparable to Bandai's RG line to advanced 1/100 and 1/72 builds that rival or exceed Master Grade in part count and internal frame engineering. LA Scale Model is an authorized US retailer for all brands listed here, sourcing directly from manufacturers and shipping from California.

[PREORDER] Create Toy Base SNAA Round Table Knights 1/144 Acrylic Display Stand

SNAA

$15.00

Overview The Create Toy Base SNAA Round Table Knights Acrylic Display Stand is a UV-printed acrylic base designed specifically for SNAA's 1/144 Round Table Knights model kits. Each variant features character-specific artwork printed directly onto the acrylic surface, along with a support bracket and a themed character nameplate. The stand is produced by Create Toy Base (CREATE模玩地台), a Chinese accessory maker specializing in acrylic display platforms for mecha model kits. Key Features UV-Printed Character Artwork: Each base features high-resolution UV printing with character-specific art and the Round Table Knights "KNIGHT" branding. Support Bracket Included: Comes with an integrated support bracket for posing the kit in dynamic or airborne stances on the base. Themed Character Nameplate: Each variant includes a standing nameplate with the character's name and design elements, adding context to the display. Seven Character Variants: Available for Galahad, Lamorak, Lancelot, Gawain, Iron Sickle Kai, Achilles, and Tristan - covering the full Gale and Iron Cavalry tiers. Sized for 1/144 Scale: Proportioned for SNAA's Round Table Knights BE line, though compatible with other 1/144 mecha kits of similar footprint. Why Display on This Stand The Create Toy Base Round Table Knights display stand is one of the few character-matched acrylic bases available for SNAA's 1/144 lineup, and as of mid-2026 it is not carried by any other North American retailer. For builders collecting multiple Round Table Knights, the matching artwork and nameplate across each variant creates a unified shelf presentation that generic action bases cannot replicate. The UV-printed artwork is durable and does not rely on stickers or decals, which means the base maintains its appearance over time. At $15, this stand costs less than a Bandai Action Base 5 while offering character-specific branding that ties directly to the kit displayed on it. Builders who want a dedicated display solution for their Round Table Knights collection without resorting to DIY or generic clear stands will find this the most purpose-built option currently available in the US market. Box Contents UV-printed acrylic display base (character-specific design) Support bracket Themed character nameplate Note: Model kit is not included. The base is a display accessory only.

[PREORDER] SNAA 1/144 BE The Round Table Knights - Thunderstorms Mordred

SNAA

$35.00

Official SNAA RetailerLA Scale Model is an authorized retailer of SNAA. All SNAA model kits are 100% genuine and sourced directly from the manufacturer. Overview The SNAA 1/144 BE Thunderstorm Mordred is a model kit from the Beyond Exquisite (BE) Round Table Knights series, the 11th entry in the lineup. Based on the Arthurian traitor knight Mordred, this design features a lean, agile silhouette with large wing-like back elements, a lance, and an ornate shield - setting it apart from the heavier, bulkier knights in the series. SNAA is a sub-brand of Supernova, a Chinese manufacturer that has built a reputation for delivering full inner frame 1/144 kits with loaded weapon sets at price points that consistently undercut comparable Bandai RG kits. The Round Table Knights line reimagines figures from Arthurian legend as original mecha designs, each with a distinct combat role and visual identity. Key Features 1/144 scale original mecha design - 11th entry in the Round Table Knights BE series Agile combat silhouette - Lean frame with prominent wing-like back elements, distinct from the line's heavier knights Lance and shield loadout - Visible in gray model images; full weapon list pending official confirmation Full inner frame construction - Standard for the Round Table Knights line, enabling strong articulation and posing Snap-fit assembly - No cement required; includes water slide decals (standard for the BE line) Builder Context The Round Table Knights kits are suited for beginner to intermediate builders. Assembly is snap-fit with no cement required, and the build complexity is comparable to Bandai RG kits. Panel lining and decal application are recommended for the best finished appearance, but painting is optional. Why Build This Kit The SNAA Thunderstorm Mordred fills an interesting role in the Round Table Knights lineup as one of the more agile, speed-oriented designs alongside heavier entries like Gawain and Bedivere. At 72 yuan MSRP (roughly the same price point as other standard BE kits), it continues SNAA's strategy of delivering full inner frame 1/144 kits with loaded weapon sets at RG-competitive pricing. The Round Table Knights line has steadily improved with each release - earlier kits like Incise Grace had fit inconsistencies, while more recent entries like Lamorak and Percival have tightened tolerances and improved hand joint strength. Builders who want a mecha shelf that goes beyond Gundam will find this kit fits comfortably alongside other Round Table Knights entries, and the Mordred design's lance-and-shield loadout gives it a distinct display silhouette compared to the sword-heavy kits that dominate the series. This is the 11th kit in a twelve-knight lineup, so collectors following the full series will want to secure it early.

[BACKORDER] ShenXing Technology Classic of Mountains and Seas White Tiger Ink Realm Edition Model Kit

ShenXing Technology

$75.00

Overview The ShenXing Technology FX-7800M White Tiger is a fully articulated beast-form model kit from the Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shan Hai Jing) series. This is the Ink Realm (墨境仙古) colorway - a gray, black, and white color scheme inspired by traditional Chinese ink wash painting, distinct from the standard White Tiger's orange-accented white color scheme. ShenXing Technology (神型科技) is a Chinese manufacturer specializing in mythological creature kits, and the White Tiger is one of their signature releases based on the Four Divine Beasts of Chinese cosmology. Key Features Ink Wash Painting Colorway - Gray, black, and white color-separated parts evoke the tonal depth of traditional Chinese ink painting, with first-batch units including silver-plated accent parts 46.4 cm Total Length - Approximately 18.3 inches from nose to tail tip when fully extended, with a standing height of roughly 17.8 cm (7 inches) - a substantial shelf piece that commands display space comparable to a 1/100 humanoid mecha kit Full Body Articulation - Articulated jaw, neck, spine segments, shoulders, hips, elbows, knees, ankles, and individual tail sections allow for crouching, lunging, and neutral standing poses Color-Separated Runners with Clear Parts - Molded in the final color scheme with translucent teal detail parts for the eyes and energy accents, minimizing the need for painting ABS and POM Construction - POM joints provide friction-based articulation stability across the multi-segment body Mythological Source Material - Based on the White Tiger (Baihu/白虎), the divine beast representing the western cardinal direction and autumn in Chinese mythology, as described in the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas) Builder Context This is a snap-fit kit suitable for intermediate builders. The organic beast form means limb alignment and tail posing require more spatial reasoning than a standard humanoid mecha kit - Japanese Amazon reviews note that some parts require care to seat properly, and first-time builders found the difficulty higher than expected. No cement or paint is required, though tight joints may benefit from light sanding. Builders familiar with HG or RG Bandai kits will find the construction logic similar but the part geometry less predictable due to the animal anatomy. Why Build This Kit The ShenXing Technology FX-7800M White Tiger is one of the few articulated beast-form model kits available in the Western market, making it a rare alternative to the humanoid mecha kits that dominate the third-party space. At 46.4 cm long, the finished build has display presence that rivals kits two or three times its price point - it reads as a centerpiece rather than a shelf filler. The ink wash colorway gives the completed kit a more restrained, art-piece quality compared to the standard White Tiger's brighter orange-accented scheme, which appeals to builders who display kits alongside books or art rather than in dedicated mecha cases. Builders considering this kit should know that ShenXing's part fit requires more patience than a comparable Bandai kit - joints are tight, some parts need test-fitting before committing, and posing the full body in a dynamic stance takes time to balance weight distribution across the legs and tail. For anyone looking to build something outside the typical Gundam or mecha humanoid format, this is one of the most visually distinctive options currently available from any manufacturer. Box Contents Color-separated runner plates (ABS) POM joint runner plates Translucent teal detail parts (eyes and energy accents) Silver-plated accent parts (first-batch units only) Assembly instructions Brand ShenXing Technology (神型科技) Series Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shan Hai Jing / 山海经) Product Name White Tiger - Ink Realm Edition (墨境仙古 白虎) Product Number FX-7800M Length Approximately 46.4 cm (18.3") including tail Height Approximately 17.8 cm (7") Materials ABS, POM Assembly Snap-fit, no cement required Paint Not required (color-separated) EAN 6974393020041 Box Dimensions 34 x 23.7 x 16 cm Box Weight 880 g Country of Origin China Recommended Age 15+ Backorder Notice:This item is currently on backorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] Motor Nuclear MNP-XH19A - Tiankui Star God of War Yue Fei Model Kit

Motor Nuclear

$125.00 $118.00

Overview The Motor Nuclear MNP-XH19A Yue Fei is a Zhongyong Class model kit from the Legend of Star General series - the 24th release in Motor Nuclear's flagship XH lineup. The kit features Motor Nuclear's MNP line construction: snap-fit plastic armor assembly over a pre-assembled alloy inner frame. Yue Fei, the Southern Song dynasty general historically associated with loyalty and military valor, is interpreted here as a winged combat mecha built around a Peng (roc bird) motif, with a dramatic multi-panel wing backpack that dominates the kit's silhouette. Motor Nuclear is a Chinese manufacturer whose model kits are tied to an original serialized manhua called Legend of Star General. The XH series translates Chinese historical and mythological figures into detailed mechanical combat units with alloy inner frames and pre-painted components. Key Features Pre-Assembled Alloy Inner Frame - Metal inner frame provides structural rigidity and weighted feel, consistent with all MNP line kits Multi-Panel Wing Backpack - Articulated wing unit with translucent red feather panels, white structural frames, gold circular joints, and bird-head forms at the wing tips; wingspan is dramatically large relative to the body Translucent Effect Parts - Blue translucent flame-shaped effect parts on the head crest, and amber translucent cheek panels with etched character patterns visible in the face plate close-up Multiple Handheld Weapons - At minimum a long polearm and a straight sword are visible across the official images Pre-Painted Components - Metallic red, gold, white, blue, and purple finish visible across the official images, consistent with MNP line color separation Snap-Fit Construction - Exterior armor components assemble over the pre-built alloy inner frame using tool-free snap-fit connections Builder Context The MNP-XH19A Yue Fei is suited for intermediate to advanced builders comfortable with multi-session builds and layered armor assembly. Motor Nuclear's MNP kits share construction complexity comparable to MG-grade Bandai kits, but the pre-assembled alloy inner frame reduces frame build time. Motor Nuclear parts are known for sharp, precise edges - side cutters and careful handling are recommended. Why Build This Kit The Motor Nuclear MNP-XH19A Yue Fei is the first Legend of Star General kit built around a winged flight-type design, making it visually distinct from every previous release in the series. The translucent red wing panels and articulated multi-panel backpack give the finished build a wingspan and shelf presence that no other kit in the MNP lineup currently matches. Motor Nuclear's Zhongyong Class kits typically offer competitive value against Bandai MG kits at similar price points, with alloy inner frames and pre-painted finishes that MG kits do not include. Builders should note that this product is still in Motor Nuclear's optimization stage as of September 2026, and final specifications including height, runner count, and full accessory list have not been published. Box Contents Pre-assembled alloy inner frame Snap-fit plastic armor components Handheld weapons (polearm and sword confirmed from official images; full weapon list not yet published) Blue translucent effect parts Wing backpack assembly with translucent red panels Instructions Specifications Manufacturer Motor Nuclear Series Legend of Star General Line MNP Class Zhongyong (Loyal-Brave) Character Tiankui Star God of War - Yue Fei Height Not yet published Materials Not yet published (MNP line standard: ABS, POM, alloy) Construction Snap-fit plastic assembly with pre-assembled alloy inner frame Painting Required No - pre-painted components and color-separated parts Product Number MNP-XH19A Release Number #24 in XH series Status Optimization stage (not final production) Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] Infinite Dimension 1/100 RT-002 Nemesis Mechanic Clear Special Edition Model Kit

[PREORDER] Infinite Dimension 1/100 RT-002 Nemesis Mechanic Clear Special Edition Model Kit

Infinite Dimension

$180.00 $175.00

Official Infinite Dimension Retailer LA Scale Model is an authorized retailer of Infinite Dimension. All Infinite Dimension model kits are 100% genuine and sourced directly from the manufacturer. Overview The Infinite Dimension 1/100 RT-002 Nemesis Mechanic Clear Special Edition is a structural reimagining of the brand's 10th anniversary flagship kit, produced under the In ERA+ product line as part of the Advanced Strategic Revenge Titan (A.S.R.T.) series. Rather than a simple color swap, this edition replaces the standard dark exterior armor with crystal-clear transparent ABS panels designed to fully expose the triple-layer inner frame construction beneath - and upgrades the inner frame itself with deeper color contrast, expanded pre-painted coverage, and nearly double the photo-etch detail of the original. Infinite Dimension is a premium Chinese mecha design studio known for intricate mechanical sculpting and complex layered internal frames, operating alongside its collaboration sub-brand Infinite Nova under the IN ERA+ consumer label. Key Features Crystal-Clear Transparent ABS Armor - Exterior armor panels use the highest-transparency ABS raw material available, coated on both sides with a proprietary clarity-enhancing paint that achieves near-crystal transparency while forming a hardened protective film that resists normal scratches and handling wear Upgraded Inner Frame Color Separation - The second-layer inner frame is recolored from the standard edition's green-gray to a deeper mechanical raw gray, creating stronger visual contrast against the silver meridian frame details when viewed through the transparent armor Expanded Blue-Silver Pre-Painted Coverage - Additional blue-silver paint applications across the head, chest sides, arms, hip, lower legs, and cockpit area ensure the inner frame looks detailed and layered when fully visible through the clear panels Redesigned Wing Blade Inner Frame - The Vengeance Blade wing units receive a newly designed internal backplate with blue-silver pre-paint, produced on a dedicated new mold created specifically for this edition to prevent the blades from appearing hollow under transparent armor 62 Photo-Etch Parts (Up from 34) - Nearly double the metal etching detail of the standard edition, with additional pieces on the antenna, inner thigh, knees, calves, and other visible areas to maximize layered detail under transparent panels 22 Pre-Painted Runners (Up from 14) - Expanded pre-painted runner count covers the additional blue-silver frame applications, transparency coating, and new wing blade backplate parts Full Standard Nemesis Feature Set - Retains the complete weapon system (eight transformable Vengeance Blades, great swords, spike rifles, shield claws), linked armor deployment hatches, backpack-mounted cockpit, optional pre-assembled POM joints, display base with weapon storage, and commemorative artbook Builder Context The Mechanic Clear Special Edition is an advanced-level build comparable to the standard RT-002 Nemesis in assembly complexity and time investment. The transparent armor panels require more careful handling during assembly to avoid visible fingerprints and scratches, and builders should note that minor paint coating unevenness may be visible on individual parts at certain angles due to the extremely high transparency - this is a known characteristic of the coating process and is not noticeable once the kit is fully assembled. The snap-fit construction does not require cement, and the included POM joint units remain available for builders who prefer tighter joint hold over smoother articulation. Why Build This Kit The Infinite Dimension RT-002 Nemesis Mechanic Clear Special Edition is not a standard clear-color reissue - it is a ground-up rework of the inner frame presentation with 22 pre-painted runners, 62 photo-etch parts, a new dedicated mold for the wing blade backplate, and a proprietary transparency-enhancing coating process that goes significantly beyond what typical mechanic clear kits offer from any manufacturer. For builders who already own the standard Nemesis, the Mechanic Clear edition functions as a display counterpart that reveals the triple-layer inner frame architecture the standard edition conceals - the deeper mechanical gray second layer and expanded blue-silver coverage were specifically designed to look complete and detailed when viewed through transparent armor. At 22 cm to the head and roughly 45 cm wide with wing blades deployed, the clear armor creates a visual effect comparable to exhibition-style display models rather than a typical clear kit. Builders should be aware that the transparent panels amplify any handling marks, so cotton gloves or careful part placement during assembly are recommended. Box Contents Nemesis Mechanic Clear model runners (including 22 pre-painted runners with transparency-coated clear ABS armor, blue-silver frame parts, and metallic meridian frame runners) Redesigned wing blade backplate runners (new mold, blue-silver pre-paint) Pre-assembled POM joint units (optional use) 8 x Vengeance Blade weapon assemblies (transformable sword/gun mode) Red blade components (curved sword formation) Spike gun components Wing blade components (x4) Great sword assemblies (x2, convertible to rifle mode) Shield claw assemblies (x2, claw/pincer mode switchable) 62-piece metal etching parts sheet Etched metal nameplate 3D sticker sheet Water transfer decal sheet Display base with weapon storage slots and maintenance arms Metal support rod / kickstand Cardboard runner organizer trays (x2) Full-color instruction manual with QR code video guides Commemorative design artbook Brand Infinite Dimension / In ERA+ Series Advanced Strategic Revenge Titan (A.S.R.T.)

[PREORDER] Sheik Mainland 1/60 MUFS-S5 3MIN Project Fortress Model Kit (Set of 3)

[PREORDER] Sheik Mainland 1/60 MUFS-S5 3MIN Project Fortress Model Kit (Set of 3)

Sheik Mainland

$20.00

Overview The MUFS-S5 Fortress is a 1/60 scale mini mecha model kit from Sheik Mainland's 3MIN Project series - a line of compact, snap-fit original mecha designed for fast assembly and army building. Each box contains three identical Fortress units built from six runners (two per unit), allowing builders to field a full squad straight out of the box. The Fortress is the third mecha design in the 3MIN Project lineup and features an Armored Core-inspired artillery platform silhouette rather than a humanoid close-combat frame, with opening missile compartments on the shoulders and legs, a functional cockpit hatch, and dual handheld weapons per unit. Key Features Set of 3 Kits Per Box - Each box includes three identical Fortress units built from six runners (two per unit) for squad displays and army-building configurations Opening Missile Compartments - Hatches on both the shoulders and lower legs open to reveal 8-tube rocket pod interiors Dual Weapons Per Unit - Each Fortress includes one heavy cannon and one Gatling gun, totaling six weapons across the box for free mixing across units Opening Cockpit - The torso features a hinged cockpit hatch with interior detail, compatible with separately sold Sheik Mainland 3MIN Project pilot figures Full Ball Joint Articulation - All connection points use ball joints, providing head rotation, arm windmill, 90-degree-plus elbow and knee bends, waist tilt, and articulated rear thruster nozzles 3mm Modular Hardpoints - Multiple standardized connection points across the body for cross-compatible weapon and accessory mounting with other 3MIN Project releases Multiple Color and Material Options - Available in Metallic Black (POK material), Olive Drab (ABS), and City Gray (ABS) Builder Context The Fortress is a beginner-friendly snap-fit kit that requires no cement, paint, or specialized tools. Assembly is straightforward enough that most builders will not need the instructions by the second unit. Despite the simple structure, the mold precision is high and the parts are notably thick and dense compared to standard Bandai KPS plastic. Builders should be aware that some flash, mold lines, and minor plastic overflow are present and may need trimming with a hobby knife. One common assembly issue: the elbow ball joint sockets are left/right specific, but the manual does not clearly indicate this - installing them backwards will lock the shoulder's lateral movement, and the tight fit makes disassembly difficult. The mono-eye sensor and missile warheads benefit from color touch-up with a marker or brush for a finished look. Why Build This Kit The Sheik Mainland MUFS-S5 Fortress is one of the most cost-effective army-building options currently available in the North American mecha kit market, with three fully articulated 1/60 scale units included in a single box at a price comparable to one Bandai HG kit. The Fortress occupies a similar concept space to Bandai's 30 Minutes Missions line - quick-build, modular, customizable units - but delivers three kits per box instead of one and uses an Armored Core-inspired artillery walker design that stands out from the humanoid frames that dominate most mecha kit lines. At approximately 15 cm tall with opening missile compartments on the shoulders and legs, a hinged cockpit, and dual handheld weapons per unit, the Fortress packs a surprising amount of play value and display detail into a kit that builds in minutes. The 3MIN Project's standardized 3mm hardpoints make the Fortress compatible with vehicles, soldiers, and additional mech frames in the series, so it functions as an entry point into a modular ecosystem rather than a standalone purchase. Builders who also paint will find the Fortress especially appealing as a low-cost practice subject - the dense ABS plastic takes primer and paint well, and at three kits per box, there is room to experiment with different color schemes without high financial risk. Box Contents 6 runners (2 per unit, builds 3 identical Fortress kits) 6 weapons (1 heavy cannon + 1 Gatling gun per unit) Assembly instruction sheet (two-fold) Specifications Manufacturer Sheik Mainland Series 3MIN Project Model Number MUFS-S5 Product Name Fortress (要塞) Scale 1/60 Height Approximately 15 cm Materials ABS (Olive Drab, City Gray) / POK (Metallic Black) Runner Count 6 (2 per unit) Kit Count 3 per box Weapons 1 heavy cannon + 1 Gatling gun per unit (6 total) Assembly Type Snap-fit, no cement required Joint Type Ball joints throughout Compatibility 3mm connection standard (cross-compatible with 3MIN Project series) Box Dimensions Approximately 22 x 16.5 x 8.5 cm Box Weight Approximately 298g Country of Origin China Recommended Age 15+ Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] DLKHobby - 1/100 ZAW-S02 Kingfisher Atmospheric Type Mecha Model Kit

DLKHobby

$105.00 $100.00

DLKHobby 1/100 ZAW-S02 Kingfisher Atmospheric Type The DLKHobby 1/100 ZAW-S02 Kingfisher Atmospheric Type is the second 1/100 scale mecha model kit in the ZAW Project series, following the ZAW-S01 Ikaruga Universal Space Type. In-universe, the Kingfisher is an atmospheric-operations variant of the Ikaruga, modified for high-mobility flight within planetary atmospheres. The kit retains the multi-layer inner frame design that defined the Ikaruga while introducing a separable backpack that transforms into an independent support craft. Key Features Multi-Layer Inner Frame System: Full inner frame construction with a multi-layer design and multi-segment articulated joints, continuing the engineering approach established in the ZAW-S01 Ikaruga Transformable Backpack: The backpack unit detaches from the main body and converts into a standalone support craft, adding a flight-mode display option not available in the Ikaruga Atmospheric-Operations Design: Redesigned external armor reflects the Kingfisher's atmospheric flight specialization, with aerodynamic thruster wings and a streamlined silhouette distinct from the Ikaruga's space-combat profile Full Weapon Loadout: Includes an XVC-08[P] Improved Ragnarok support unit, high-energy beam rifle, long-range rifle, shield, aerial-type funnels, and piercing blade Collaboration Decals: Waterslide decal sheet produced in partnership with Dalin Model Decal and Lai Er Zwei Builder Context The Kingfisher uses the same multi-layer inner frame construction as the Ikaruga, so builders familiar with that kit will recognize the build sequence. The multi-segment joints and layered frame construction place this kit at an intermediate-to-advanced skill level, comparable in complexity to Bandai MG kits with inner frames. Snap-fit assembly is expected based on the Ikaruga's construction, though cement may be helpful for small thruster and weapon attachment points. Why Build This Kit The DLKHobby ZAW-S02 Kingfisher Atmospheric Type is the more accessible entry point into the ZAW Project series, offering the same multi-layer inner frame engineering as the Ikaruga at a lower price and a more compact 20 cm finished height. The transformable backpack gives this kit a display option the Ikaruga does not have - builders can show the main frame in a ground-combat pose while the support craft hovers separately on a stand. At approximately 20 cm tall, the Kingfisher is closer in size to a standard 1/100 MG kit than the oversized Ikaruga, making it easier to integrate into existing shelf displays. Builders who found the Ikaruga's 99-runner build intimidating should find the Kingfisher a more manageable introduction to DLKHobby's inner frame system, while still getting the layered-frame depth that sets this brand apart from most third-party 1/100 kits. Box Contents Runners for ZAW-S02 Kingfisher model kit XVC-08[P] Improved Ragnarok support unit High-energy beam rifle Long-range rifle Shield Aerial-type funnels Piercing blade Waterslide decal sheet (Dalin x Lai Er Zwei collaboration) Instruction manual Brand DLKHobby Manufacturer Dalin Product ZAW-S02 Kingfisher - Atmospheric Type Series ZAW Project Scale 1/100 Height Approx. 20 cm (7.9 in) Materials ABS, PVC (unconfirmed - verify before publishing) Construction Snap-fit assembly, multi-layer inner frame Release Date November 2026 Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] Motor Nuclear MNP-XH08 Wei Yuan Shi Imperial Guard Variant Model Kit

[PREORDER] Motor Nuclear MNP-XH08 Wei Yuan Shi Imperial Guard Variant Model Kit

Motor Nuclear

$68.00

Overview The Motor Nuclear MNP-XH08 Wei Yuan Shi - Imperial Guard Variant is a Steadfast Valor-grade model kit from the Legend of Star General series. This variant reconfigures the Wei Yuan platform with the equipment loadout and gold-and-white color scheme of the Tiandu Imperial Guard, adding a beast-face round shield, gold melon hammer, backpack banners, and redesigned armor panels to the base chassis. Motor Nuclear is a Chinese manufacturer known for original mecha designs that fuse ancient Chinese military aesthetics with sci-fi engineering, and the Wei Yuan line represents the entry-level tier within their Legend of Star General range. Key Features Alloy Inner Frame - Zinc alloy skeleton with 11 pre-assembled joint assemblies provides weight, stability, and the ability to hold dynamic poses under the full weapon loadout Imperial Guard Weapon Arsenal - Includes a Tiandu Army Standard Beast-Face Round Shield, Type Zero-Three Gold Melon Hammer, Tiandu Army Standard Long Sword, Type 33 Light Crossbow, and four Type 63 Horizontal Blade Prototype - Infantry Edge swords Pre-Painted Color Separation - 26 of 38 runners are pre-painted (193 painted parts), delivering the gold, white, and bronze Imperial Guard color scheme without painting Four Interchangeable Faceplates - Removable side head panels allow free swapping between four distinct face designs for display variety Modular Weapon Mounting System - Six documented mounting configurations including thigh-mounted weapon hardpoints, rear skirt armor weapon rails, backpack side connectors for horizontal blade holders or banners, and short/long shield arm connectors Display Stand Included - Dedicated base stand with support arm and nameplate sticker for finished display Builder Context This kit is suited for intermediate builders comfortable with multi-runner assembly and alloy inner frame integration. Construction is snap-fit with no cement required, and the pre-painted runners mean the kit looks display-ready without painting. The build complexity and part count (449 total parts across 38 runners) are comparable to a Bandai MG kit, with the added step of fitting armor over the pre-assembled alloy skeleton. Why Build This Kit The Motor Nuclear MNP-XH08 Wei Yuan Shi Imperial Guard Variant is the most display-oriented configuration in the Wei Yuan lineup, combining a striking gold-and-white pre-painted color scheme with a broad weapon arsenal that includes both melee and ranged options. The Tiandu Army Standard Beast-Face Round Shield is the visual centerpiece of this variant and is unique to the Imperial Guard configuration - no other Wei Yuan release includes it. At 19 cm to the head (21.5 cm with helmet tassel) and 358 grams fully equipped, the Imperial Guard has strong shelf presence for its price tier and noticeably more visual mass than Bandai HG or RG kits at similar price points. Builders already familiar with the Wei Yuan Trainee (MNP-XH06) or Sword Stance (MNP-XH07) will find the same chassis and build process here, with the differentiation coming entirely from the armor panels, color scheme, and equipment loadout. This kit shares the same weapon grip system as other Wei Yuan variants, so builders should note that the peg-and-socket hand connections work best when weapon weight is distributed across both hands and the display stand rather than relying on a single grip point.

Alligator Clip Sticks 225mm Bamboo Painting Clips

Alligator Clip Sticks 225mm Bamboo Painting Clips

LA Scale Model

$5.99 ~ $10.99

Overview These alligator clip sticks are bamboo-dowel painting clips designed for holding individual model kit parts during airbrushing, spray priming, and hand painting. Each stick measures 225 mm in total length with a 3 mm bamboo dowel and a 35 mm spring-loaded alligator clip, providing a longer reach and more comfortable grip than most comparable clips on the market. The pointed bamboo ends insert directly into styrofoam blocks, corrugated cardboard paint stations, or any soft-material base for hands-free drying. Key Features 225 mm total length - longer than Mr. Hobby GT90 clips (170 mm) and most Amazon alternatives (150 mm), giving more clearance between your hand and wet paint 3 mm bamboo dowel - lightweight, rigid, and easy to trim to a custom length with side cutters or a hobby knife 35 mm spring-loaded alligator clip - toothed jaws grip runner gates, peg holes, and part edges securely without slipping during spraying Pointed end - inserts directly into styrofoam, floral foam, corrugated paint stations, or any soft base material for hands-free part drying Compatible with standard clip bases - works with Mr. Hobby Almighty Clip Base (GT89), third-party honeycomb bases, and DIY foam setups Consumable and replaceable - clips wear out over time from paint buildup and spring fatigue, so these are sold in bulk packs for easy restocking Builder Context Alligator clip sticks are an essential tool for any builder who paints, whether by airbrush, rattle can, or hand brush. No special skills are required - clip the part, paint it, and stick the dowel into a base to dry. Beginners setting up their first paint station and experienced builders burning through clips on large third-party kit builds will both get use out of these. Why These Clips These 225 mm alligator clip sticks are a direct, lower-cost alternative to the Mr. Hobby GT90 Almighty Clip Stick, which retails for $11.99-$12.00 per 36-pack at US hobby retailers and is frequently out of stock. At $5.99 for a 20-pack or $9.99 for a 40-pack, these provide comparable grip and build quality at roughly half the per-clip cost. The 225 mm length is 55 mm longer than the GT90, which gives noticeably more clearance when spraying primer or clear coats on larger parts from 1/100 and 1/60 scale kits. Painting clips are a consumable supply - paint buildup, bent teeth, and weakened springs mean regular replacement is normal, making per-unit cost the most important factor for builders who paint frequently. These ship from a US-based hobby retailer, so there is no import wait or minimum order compared to sourcing directly from overseas suppliers. Package Contents Alligator clip sticks (20 or 40 pieces depending on variant selected) Specifications Total Length 225 mm Dowel Diameter 3 mm Clip Length 35 mm Dowel Material Bamboo Clip Material Metal (spring-loaded) Pack Sizes 20-pack / 40-pack Base Included No (compatible with standard clip bases and foam)

[PREORDER] Cangdao CD-AS-02EX Guardian-Sentinels of White Tiger Tiger Hunter Model Kit

[PREORDER] Cangdao CD-AS-02EX Guardian-Sentinels of White Tiger Tiger Hunter Model Kit

CangDao

$60.00

Overview The Cangdao CD-AS-02EX Tiger Hunter is a 1/100 scale model kit from the Guardian-Sentinels of White Tiger series, designated as a Stardust Class entry. The Tiger Hunter is the dedicated support mecha of the Sacred Beast White Tiger, designed as a stealth ambush unit specializing in long-range interference and rapid strikes from concealment. Its design draws from traditional Chinese warrior aesthetics with a distinctive conical hat head silhouette, dark navy and white armor panels accented in gold, and translucent blue effect parts representing energy discharge. Cangdao (also known as Zen Of Collectible / 藏道模型) is a Chinese mecha brand known primarily for its premium 1/72 diecast action figures in the Four Sacred Beasts universe. The Stardust Class line represents Cangdao's expansion into the assembly model kit format, building plastic armor panels over a pre-assembled alloy inner frame. The CD-AS-02EX is the second Stardust Class release following the CD-AS-01 Long Ji (Azure Dragon). Key Features Pre-Assembled Alloy Inner Frame - The alloy inner frame arrives pre-built, providing structural rigidity and stable joint tension beneath the plastic armor panels. This keeps the finished model poseable under the weight of armor and weapons without the looseness common in all-plastic builds. 1/100 Scale, MG-Grade Complexity - Standing approximately 21 cm tall with 20 body runner plates, the Tiger Hunter delivers a build experience comparable in scale and part count to a Bandai Master Grade kit. Extensive Weapon and Accessory Set - The kit includes a long ornate polearm, a chain weapon, a crossbow, a large shuriken, arrow projectiles, and multiple interchangeable hand parts, giving the Tiger Hunter a wide range of display and posing options. Translucent Blue Effect Parts - Clear parts represent the Tiger Hunter's energy discharge effects, including flowing energy cloaks and a translucent conical hat piece, adding visual impact to the finished display without painting. Display Base with Docking Station - A dedicated display base with an integrated equipment rack and docking structure is included, built from four runner plates. Water-Slide Decals - Two sheets of water-slide decals are included for additional markings and detail work. Builder Context The Cangdao Stardust Class kits are suited for intermediate builders comfortable with standard snap-fit model kit assembly. The pre-assembled alloy inner frame simplifies the structural build, but fitting plastic armor panels over a metal skeleton requires more care with tolerances than an all-plastic kit. The 20-runner part count and 1/100 scale put this in MG-grade territory in terms of build time and complexity. No cement is required, but panel lining and waterslide decal application are recommended to get the most out of the color separation and surface detail. Why Build This Kit The Cangdao CD-AS-02EX Tiger Hunter is one of the most affordable alloy-frame model kits currently available at 1/100 scale, offering a metal inner frame, a full weapon loadout, and a dedicated display base at a price point where most competitors provide all-plastic construction with minimal accessories. The accessory density is unusually high for this price range - a polearm, crossbow, chain weapon, shuriken, arrow projectiles, translucent energy effects, and multiple hand options give it more display versatility than many kits costing twice as much. At 21 cm, the Tiger Hunter stands at standard MG height and displays well alongside Bandai 1/100 kits, but the alloy frame gives it noticeably more weight and joint stability than a typical MG. The dark navy and gold color scheme differentiates it sharply from the CD-AS-01 Long Ji's dragon-themed aesthetic, making it a strong companion piece for builders collecting the Guardian-Sentinels series. For builders interested in Chinese-mythology mecha outside the Gundam universe, the Tiger Hunter is a lower-cost entry point into Cangdao's Four Sacred Beasts universe than the brand's premium 1/72 diecast figures, which typically retail above $100. Box Contents Body runner plates x20 Display base runner plates x4 Pre-assembled alloy inner frame x1 Water-slide decal sheets x2 Translucent blue effect parts (energy cloak, conical hat piece) Long ornate polearm Crossbow Chain weapon Large shuriken Arrow/dart projectiles Backpack/equipment modules Multiple interchangeable hand parts Assembly instructions Specifications Brand Cangdao (Zen Of Collectible / 藏道模型) Series Guardian-Sentinels of White Tiger (巡界使) Product Name Tiger Hunter (虎狩) Class Stardust Class (星塵級) Product Number CD-AS-02EX Scale 1/100 Height Approximately 21 cm Materials ABS, POM, Alloy (inner frame) Runner Count 20 body + 4 display base Assembly Required (snap-fit over pre-assembled alloy inner frame) Decals Water-slide x2 sheets EAN 6974422351979 Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] Yu Yi Tang Haoling Baidi & Fenghuang Phoenix Divine Armor Model Kit

[PREORDER] Yu Yi Tang Haoling Baidi & Fenghuang Phoenix Divine Armor Model Kit

Yu Yi Tang

$125.00

Overview The Yu Yi Tang EMP-02 Haoling Baidi is a mecha model kit set from the Xuanji Zhuxinglu (玄机铸型录) Five Directions, Five Emperors series. Inspired by the White Emperor (Baidi) of Chinese cosmology, the kit includes the main humanoid mecha with a pre-assembled alloy inner frame and a pair of phoenixes - one male (Feng) and one female (Huang) - that combine with the mecha to form the Phoenix Divine Armor (凤凰神装). Yu Yi Tang (驭意堂) is a Chinese mecha brand under Gaosheng Culture that launched in 2024 with the Five Emperors series, gaining attention for combining mythology-themed original mecha design with alloy inner frame construction and multi-layer armor systems at aggressive price points. Key Features Pre-Assembled Alloy Inner Frame: A complete alloy skeleton (~300 g) comes fully assembled out of the box, paired with POM joint components for articulation. No frame assembly required - armor layers build directly onto the alloy core. Dual Phoenix Companion Mechas: Includes both a male Feng and female Huang phoenix, each with approximately 52 cm wingspan and 42 cm body length. The two are distinguished by subtle design differences - the Feng carries blue gemstone accents on the head and tail, while the Huang features gold crest plating and an openwork tail structure. Phoenix Divine Armor Combination: Both phoenixes mount onto a dedicated backpack via metal mechanical arms, forming the combined Haoling Baidi Phoenix Divine Armor configuration. Three display modes are available: Nirvana (wings fully spread), Linkage (wings deployed for balanced positioning), and Defense (wings wrapped protectively around the mecha body). 10 Pre-Painted Gold Runner Plates: Ten runners arrive factory-painted in two distinct gold tones - gilded gold (鎏金) and bright gold (耀金) - with improved paint coverage and no visible plastic marks under the finish, an upgrade over the first-release Yuanling Huangdi. Multi-Weapon Loadout with Combination Forms: Includes the Guanri long sword, Lingxiao short blade, and a grip structure that converts the side skirt wing armor into the Changgeng divine bow. The long sword and short blade connect end-to-end to form the Guanri Lingxiao spear (~38 cm). Phoenix tail feathers detach and mount onto included grip handles to create Jinxing whip blades. Linked Armor Mechanics: Shoulder armor, rear skirt, and knee sections feature built-in linkage mechanisms that deploy automatically during articulation, revealing internal frame detail and expanding the silhouette. Matte Surface Finish: All non-painted runners feature a factory matte texture, giving the assembled kit a built-in flat coat appearance without requiring a separate top coat application. Builder Context This is an intermediate-to-advanced build. The alloy inner frame eliminates skeleton assembly, but the 63 runners and multi-layer construction (alloy frame, inner structure, outer armor) produce a build time of approximately 7 hours. Assembly is snap-fit with no cement required. The instruction manual provides linear step-by-step guidance rather than stage-by-stage breakdown, and includes hidden gate mark placement on most visible surfaces. Builders familiar with MG-grade Bandai kits or other alloy-frame third-party kits like Motor Nuclear or Ming Jiang Legend will find the layered construction approach familiar, though the phoenix sub-assemblies add repetitive steps since both birds share nearly identical structures. Why Build This Kit The Yu Yi Tang EMP-02 Haoling Baidi is the second release in the Five Emperors series and represents measurable improvements over the first-release Yuanling Huangdi in paint quality, alloy frame refinement, and combined-form integration. The dual-phoenix configuration gives the completed display a wingspan exceeding 50 cm on each side, making the Phoenix Divine Armor form one of the largest shelf-presence kits available in this price range from any third-party manufacturer. For builders who want an alloy inner frame experience comparable to Motor Nuclear's MNP series or Ming Jiang Legend's Ying Zheng but with a mythology-themed aesthetic focused on Chinese cosmology rather than martial heroes, the Five Emperors line is the primary alternative. The matte surface finish, hidden gate marks, and pre-painted gold runners mean the kit presents well as a straight build without painting, though the predominantly white armor benefits noticeably from the included gold filigree waterslide decals. Builders should note that the combined Phoenix Divine Armor form weighs approximately 900 g and pushes the alloy frame joints to their support limits - the included display stand with dual snake-bone support arms is effectively required for long-term combined-form display rather than optional. Box Contents Haoling Baidi main mecha body (63 runners including 10 pre-painted gold plates) Pre-assembled alloy inner frame x1 Feng (male phoenix) body x1 Huang (female phoenix) body x1 Interchangeable hands x5 pairs (fists, open hands, three grip types) Guanri long sword x1 Lingxiao short blade x1 Changgeng divine bow grip assembly x1 Jinxing whip blade grip handles x2 Phoenix tail feather segments x4 Backpack with metal mechanical arm connectors x1 Display base with storage compartment x1 Snake-bone flexible support arms x2 Metallic gold waterslide decal sheet x1 Parts checklist x1 Assembly manual x1 Background display panel x1 Folding cardboard runner racks x2 Specifications Brand Yu Yi Tang (驭意堂) Series Xuanji Zhuxinglu - Five Directions, Five Emperors Mecha Designation EMP-02 Haoling Baidi Beast Designation MC-02F Feng / MC-02H Huang Height (Mecha) Approx. 25 cm Phoenix Wingspan Approx. 52 cm Phoenix Body Length Approx. 42 cm Combined Spear Length Approx. 38 cm Weight (Mecha Only) Approx. 529 g Weight (Phoenix Divine Armor) Approx. 900 g Box Weight Approx. 3.7 kg Runner Count 63 Pre-Painted Runners 10 (gold, two tones) Material ABS, POM, alloy (die-cast) Inner Frame Pre-assembled alloy Assembly Type Snap-fit plastic model kit Decals Metallic gold waterslide decals Age Recommendation 15+ EAN 6978065720017 Package Dimensions 53 x 23 x 40 cm Country of Origin China Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] EDDAS NG-MPM-01 Nomes Commander Type 1/100 Mecha Model Kit

[PREORDER] EDDAS NG-MPM-01 Nomes Commander Type 1/100 Mecha Model Kit

EDDAS

$75.00 $70.00

Overview The EDDAS 1/100 NGMPM01 Nomes Commander Type is a general-purpose mass production mecha from EDDAS Technology's original mecha universe. Designed as a squad-buildable grunt unit rather than a hero machine, Nomes features a military-realistic aesthetic with angular, blocky armor plating, a subdued blue-gray color scheme, and two interchangeable head options - a visor-type for standard units and a dual-eye type for commander configuration. EDDAS Technology (formerly Starfield Toys) has built a reputation for alloy-frame original mecha kits with extensive accessory loadouts, and Nomes is the fourth release in the line following Asgard, Salamander, and Valkyrie. Key Features Alloy inner frame - Zinc alloy skeleton with surface detailing provides structural rigidity, tight joints, and a hefty 220g finished weight Squad-building design - Two swappable head units (commander dual-eye and standard visor) let builders configure leader or rank-and-file units from the same kit Full weapon storage on body - Every included weapon can be mounted on the mecha simultaneously using back-mounted weapon racks, leg holsters, and rear waist attachment points Hangar-style display base - Upgraded ground base includes weapon rack pylons, mechanical arms, an elevator platform with three height settings, a ring-shaped maintenance gantry, and miniature crew figures Extensive weapon loadout - Includes beam sabers, machine cannons on articulated mechanical arms, folding knives stored in knee armor, pistol, large blade, semi-automatic rifle, submachine gun, and shield Linked armor movement - Knee bending triggers sequential armor panel shifts on the thigh and lower leg, revealing internal mechanical detail Four pairs of interchangeable hands - Fist, relaxed, open palm, and weapon grip types, all with independently articulated thumbs Builder Context Nomes is a snap-fit kit aimed at intermediate builders comfortable with alloy-frame assembly. The build experience is comparable to MG-grade Bandai kits in terms of part count and complexity, with 37 runners plus alloy frame components. Joint tightness is reported as firm across the alloy skeleton, and no cement or painting is required for a complete build, though the subdued color scheme benefits from panel lining and decal application. Why Build This Kit The EDDAS Nomes Commander Type is the only kit in the EDDAS lineup specifically designed for squad display - builders who want to recreate military formation scenes can purchase multiple units and differentiate them using the commander and standard head options. At approximately 19 cm, the finished build is sized consistently with standard 1/100 Bandai MG kits, but the 220g weight from the alloy inner frame gives it noticeably more heft and posing stability than a typical MG. The hangar-style display base with mechanical arms, elevator, crew figures, and weapon storage pylons is a standout accessory that reviewers have highlighted as a significant value-add, and it is compatible with other EDDAS kits in the line. For builders interested in real-type military mecha aesthetics outside of the Gundam universe, Nomes offers a weapon-dense, alloy-frame kit at a price point well below most competing 1/100 alloy-frame kits from brands like Motor Nuclear or Infinite Dimension. Box Contents 37 plastic runners (ABS/PS/POM) Zinc alloy inner frame components Commander head unit (dual-eye type) Standard head unit (visor type) 4 pairs of interchangeable hands (fist, relaxed, open palm, weapon grip) 2 beam sabers with blue effect parts 2 machine cannons with articulated mechanical arms 2 folding knives Pistol with barrel attachment Large blade Semi-automatic rifle Submachine gun with movable magazine Shield Back-mounted weapon rack assembly Leg-mounted weapon holster brackets (left and right) Hangar-style display base with weapon pylons, mechanical arms, elevator, ring gantry, and crew figures Standard display stand arm (alternative to hangar base) Water slide decal sheet 3D sticker sheet (gun muzzle and scope accents) Assembly instructions Specifications Manufacturer EDDAS Technology Product Name Nomes Commander Type Model Number NGMPM01 Scale 1/100 Height Approx. 19 cm (7.48 in) to head Weight Approx. 220g (assembled, without weapons) Materials POM, ABS, PS, Zinc Alloy Runner Count 37 runners + alloy frame parts Assembly Snap-fit, no cement required Decals Water slide decals + 3D stickers Release Date July 2026 Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[BACKORDER] KOSMOS PGU RX-93 Nu Gundam RGB LED Set (Full Version - 6 Fin Funnels)

[BACKORDER] KOSMOS PGU RX-93 Nu Gundam RGB LED Set (Full Version - 6 Fin Funnels)

KOSMOS

$76.00

Overview The KOSMOS PGU RX-93 Nu Gundam LED Set (Full Version) is a third-party RGB lighting upgrade designed specifically for the Bandai PG Unleashed 1/60 RX-93 Nu Gundam. This Full Version includes complete LED coverage for the main body and all six fin funnels, making it the most extensive lighting configuration KOSMOS offers for this kit. The system uses flexible printed circuit boards (FPC) to illuminate the head, cockpit, chest vents, backpack thrusters, and all six fin funnels without restricting the model's articulation. KOSMOS is a Chinese aftermarket brand specializing in LED systems for Gunpla, known for app-controlled RGB lighting and model-specific circuit board routing that avoids joint interference. Key Features Full 6-Funnel Coverage: All six fin funnels receive individual dual-zone LED sets, lighting the complete funnel array for full deployment display 4-Channel Lighting Architecture: Three independent RGB channels plus one monochrome channel control head, cockpit, chest heat sink, body nozzles, and fin funnels separately Dual-Zone Fin Funnel Illumination: Each of the six fin funnels contains two independently controlled lighting zones - central frame and edge frame - allowing simultaneous multi-color display within a single funnel Double-Sided Silk-Screened Acrylic Panels: Custom acrylic light guide panels in each fin funnel create a layered, three-dimensional glow effect that recreates the psycho-frame energy field FPC Flexible Circuit Design: All circuit boards are routed to avoid joint areas, preserving the PG Unleashed Nu Gundam's full range of articulation after installation KOSMOS UNIVERSE App + Remote Control: Proprietary smartphone app with wireless remote provides four preset lighting modes, four custom user profiles, and a customizable power-on animation sequence No Modification Required: Plug-and-play installation with no cutting, trimming, or permanent changes to the model Builder Context This LED set is suited for intermediate to advanced builders who are comfortable working with small electronic components and routing wiring through a completed model. Installation does not require soldering, but careful handling of the FPC boards is important - bending beyond the natural flex range can damage circuits. All LED components should be tested before installation, as replacements cannot be offered after the wiring is routed into the kit. Builders familiar with Bandai's official PG Unleashed LED Unit will find the KOSMOS system significantly more capable, with RGB color control, app connectivity, and complete fin funnel coverage that the official unit does not offer. Why Build This Kit The KOSMOS PGU RX-93 Nu Gundam LED Set (Full Version) is the most comprehensive aftermarket lighting option currently available for the PG Unleashed Nu Gundam, covering areas the official Bandai LED Unit does not reach - particularly all six fin funnels and the backpack thrusters. Bandai's official LED Unit illuminates the head, chest, and cockpit in fixed green, requires four AA batteries, and does not support any color customization. The KOSMOS system replaces that limitation with full RGB control across four independent channels, app-based color programming, and dual-zone illumination across all six funnels that no other aftermarket LED set for this kit currently matches. The deployed fin funnel array is the defining visual feature of the PGU Nu Gundam, and the Full Version ensures all six funnels are lit rather than just two. Builders who already own the PG Unleashed Nu Gundam and want to elevate it from a display model to an illuminated centerpiece will find this a meaningful upgrade over the official Bandai option at a comparable price point. Box Contents Main body LED light kit (head, cockpit, chest heat sink, indicators) 6 fin funnel LED light sets with double-sided silk-screened acrylic panels Bonus nozzle light set (backpack thruster illumination) KOSMOS UNIVERSE Bluetooth controller Wireless remote control Exclusive brushed stainless steel metal nameplate Installation manual Specifications Brand KOSMOS Product PGU RX-93 Nu Gundam RGB LED Set (Full Version - 6 Fin Funnels) Compatibility Bandai PG Unleashed 1/60 RX-93 Nu Gundam only Lighting Channels 4 (3 RGB + 1 Monochrome) Circuit Type FPC Flexible Printed Circuit Board Funnel Panels Double-sided silk-screened acrylic Funnel Coverage All 6 fin funnels Control Method KOSMOS UNIVERSE App + Wireless Remote Material PVC, ABS, FPC Estimated Release Late September 2026 Backorder Notice:This item is currently on backorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] SNAA 1/100 YR-05 Nether Emperor F.A Type (Feathered Eagle Equipment)

SNAA

$70.00

Official SNAA RetailerLA Scale Model is an authorized retailer of SNAA. All SNAA model kits are 100% genuine and sourced directly from the manufacturer. SNAA 1/100 YR-05 Nether Emperor F.A Type (Feathered Eagle Equipment) The SNAA 1/100 YR-05 Nether Emperor F.A Type is the full armament upgrade of the Nether Emperor A.P Type, adding the Feathered Eagle wing and weapon system to the Emperor Series' most mobile frame. Where the A.P Type prioritized a clean, stripped-back silhouette, the F.A Type loads the same articulated skeleton with a complete flight-capable equipment set - front shield wings, rear vector thrust wings, and armed storage side wings - transforming the Nether Emperor from a ground-focused mobility unit into a multi-range combat platform. SNAA is a Chinese manufacturer known for original mecha designs across their Emperor Series (1/100) and Round Table Knights (1/144) lines. Key Features Feathered Eagle Wing System - Three-piece PF-series wing equipment consisting of a Front Anti-Beam Guard Wing (PF-01), Rear Vector Thrust Wing (PF-02), and two Armed Storage Side Wings (PF-03) that dramatically expand the kit's silhouette and display presence Full A.P Type Weapon Set Retained - Includes the Thunder Pulse ranged weapon, Instant Flash Broken Blade with extendable tip, and Armor-Piercing Thrust retractable bayonet carried over from the base configuration Full Inner Frame - Complete articulated skeleton shared with the A.P Type, featuring cockpit hatch, waist rotation, and hip joints with pull-down extension for expanded leg range of motion Multi-Range Combat Configuration - F.A Type adds long-range firepower and defensive wing equipment to the A.P Type's existing mid-range and close-quarters weapon set 1/100 Scale Snap-Fit Assembly - Pre-colored runners with ABS, POM, and PVC construction, no cement required SNAA x Starry Craftsman Co-Production - Joint development between SNAA and Starry Craftsman, the same partnership behind the Round Table Knights BE line Builder Context The Nether Emperor F.A Type is suited for intermediate to advanced builders. The base inner frame is shared with the A.P Type, which means tight joint assembly during the skeleton build - firm pressure is needed to seat frame parts, though outer armor goes on more smoothly. The added wing equipment increases the total build time and complexity beyond the A.P Type, and the finished kit will require careful balance when posing due to the rear-heavy wing system. Comparable in build involvement to a Bandai Master Grade kit with a large backpack or flight unit. Why Build This Kit The SNAA 1/100 YR-05 Nether Emperor F.A Type fills a specific gap in the Emperor Series lineup - it is the full armament configuration of the series' most posable frame, combining the A.P Type's mobility-first design with a dramatic wing system that no other Emperor kit offers. Where the Fire Lord F.P.A.A. delivers maximum visual impact through flame-effect parts and heavy armor, the Nether Emperor F.A Type achieves a different kind of shelf presence through its Feathered Eagle wingspan while retaining the flexible posing that made the A.P Type the recommended Emperor Series entry point. At its 168 RMB MSRP, the F.A Type sits at the same price tier as the Blade King (YR-02), making it a mid-range Emperor Series purchase rather than a premium commitment like the Fire Lord variants. Builders who already own the A.P Type should note that this is a standalone kit, not an add-on pack - the full mech plus all equipment is included. For builders new to SNAA's 1/100 line, the A.P Type remains the simpler and more affordable starting point, while the F.A Type is for those who want the upgraded loadout from the start. Box Contents YR-05 Nether Emperor F.A Type model kit runners Front Anti-Beam Guard Wing (PF-01) x1 Rear Vector Thrust Wing (PF-02) x1 Armed Storage Side Wings (PF-03) x2 Thunder Pulse ranged weapon x1 Instant Flash Broken Blade x1 Armor-Piercing Thrust retractable bayonet x1 Additional armaments (to be announced by SNAA) Water slide decals (expected, consistent with Emperor Series) Instruction manual Specifications Brand SNAA x Starry Craftsman Series Emperor Series Model Number YR-05 Product Name Nether Emperor F.A Type (Feathered Eagle Equipment) Scale 1/100 Height Approximately 22 cm / 8.66" (pending confirmation) Materials ABS, POM, PVC (pending confirmation) Assembly Snap-fit, no cement required Release August 2026 MSRP (China) 168 RMB Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

Xinshi Hobby MSX007 Metal Slug X Vehicle Model Kit Set

Xinshi Hobby MSX007 Metal Slug X Vehicle Model Kit Set

Xinshi Hobby

$94.00

Overview The Xinshi Hobby MSX007 Metal Slug X Vehicle Model Kit Set is an officially licensed SNK collection of six injection-plastic vehicle kits based on the classic 1999 arcade run-and-gun shooter Metal Slug X. Each vehicle is a snap-fit assembly kit that builds in minutes, with both sticker and waterslide decals included for game-accurate detailing. Xinshi Hobby (also known as Xinshi Model) is a Chinese manufacturer specializing in licensed video game model kits, and this was their debut product line. Key Features Officially Licensed by SNK - Authorized Metal Slug X vehicle reproductions with game-accurate proportions and detailing Six Vehicles Plus Bonus Seventh Build - Each of the six boxes contains bonus parts that combine to form a seventh vehicle, the Space Tank Snap-Fit ABS Construction - No adhesive required, with minimal runner counts that allow each vehicle to be completed in minutes Dual Decal Options - Both sticker decals and waterslide decals included in every box, giving builders flexibility in finishing PVC Mini Figures - Each box includes one soft rubber character figure, covering both protagonists (Marco and Tarma), enemy soldiers, a POW prisoner, and General Morden Functional Details - Select vehicles feature articulated elements including rotating turret guns on the SV-001 and spinning undercarriage wheels on the Slug Flyer Builder Context This set is suited for all skill levels, including complete beginners and younger builders. Each vehicle assembles from a small number of parts with snap-fit connections and no cement required. The entire six-vehicle set can be completed in roughly one hour. The PVC mini figures are molded in a single color and will benefit from painting for game-accurate appearance, but this is optional. Why Build This Kit The Xinshi Hobby Metal Slug X Vehicle Set is currently the only officially licensed model kit collection covering the iconic vehicles from Metal Slug X, making it the default option for fans who want physical representations of these arcade-era designs on their shelf. The set includes seven vehicles for the price of six - bonus parts distributed across all six boxes combine to form the Space Tank, rewarding buyers who pick up the complete collection. At approximately 3 inches per vehicle, the finished builds are compact enough to display as a group on a single shelf or desk without requiring significant space. Unlike mecha model kits that demand hours of construction, each vehicle here builds in under 15 minutes from minimal runners, which makes this set better suited to collectors and retro gaming fans than to builders looking for a complex construction project. The mini figures are a meaningful inclusion for display purposes, but they are unpainted single-color PVC - builders who want game-accurate characters will need to hand-paint them.

Ma Chao - the "Splendid Cavalry" general of Shu Han - is reimagined here as a heavily armed mecha blending classical Chinese armor motifs with sci-fi engineering, featuring layered beast-face shoulder armor, a switchable helmet visor, and an arsenal of five named weapon systems drawn from Three Kingdoms mythology. Motor Nuclear is a Chinese manufacturer known for original mecha designs backed by a serialized manhua (Legend of Star General), and the Ma Chao is one of the largest and most accessory-dense kits in the lineup to date. Key Features Pre-Assembled Alloy Inner Frame - 13-part pre-assembled metal inner frame provides structural rigidity and display-grade weight, consistent with Motor Nuclear's MNP-tier engineering. 591 Total Parts Across 31 Runners - Includes 7 pre-painted runners with 104 pre-painted parts for display-ready color separation without painting. Nearly all parts are undergated for clean visible surfaces. Five Named Weapon Systems - Zhan Jin Hu Jia (Azure Gold Tiger Halberd, separates into short halberd and short gun), Tianwu Liutou javelins (6 total), Jin Shi Nu (Brocade Lion Crossbow, transforms into shield and arm crossbow modes), Yu Chan gauntlet, and retractable Yu Chan spike. Full On-Body Weapon Storage - All weapons mount to the mecha body via dedicated storage points on the backpack, rear waist, and arms, allowing a fully loaded display configuration without external weapon racks. Swappable Backpacks and Armor - Large and small backpacks interchange freely. Two chest armor options and a riding-pose front skirt armor are included for display versatility. Advanced Leg Linkage System - Knee articulation reaches 75 degrees with linked red inner frame exposure, lower leg bends to 90 degrees with kneecap separation and inner frame reveal. Hip joints extend downward for expanded posing range. Fur Cape Shoulder Accessory - Includes a sculpted fur cape with ornamental attachments. Left shoulder features layered ring-arm armor inspired by classical Chinese lamellar designs, right shoulder carries a beast-face motif with gold-tipped horns. Builder Context The MNP-XH17 Ma Chao is suited for intermediate to advanced builders comfortable with multi-session builds and alloy inner frame integration. Construction is snap-fit with no glue or cement required, and the pre-painted components deliver a display-ready result without painting. The build complexity and part count (591 parts) place it above Motor Nuclear's Loyal Grade kits like the Ao Bing and below the Brave Grade Lu Bu (738 parts), comparable in scope to a high-end MG Bandai kit with the added step of fitting armor over a metal skeleton. Why Build This Kit The Motor Nuclear MNP-XH17 Ma Chao is one of the most weapon-dense kits in the Legend of Star General lineup, with five distinct named weapon systems that each feature their own transformation or separation gimmick - the Jin Shi Nu crossbow alone converts between handheld, shield, and arm-mounted modes. At 23.5 cm with a total assembled weight of approximately 635 grams (with all accessories), Ma Chao has commanding shelf presence that competes with MG-scale Bandai kits while offering a visual language entirely outside the Gundam universe. The on-body weapon storage system means every weapon can be displayed mounted to the mecha simultaneously, creating a fully loaded silhouette without needing separate weapon racks or display stands. Builders who have already built Motor Nuclear's Zhao Yun or Lu Bu will recognize the engineering conventions and alloy frame integration, while the included riding-pose front skirt armor suggests compatibility with future mount accessories. The pre-painted parts and undergated runners mean this kit looks finished out of the box, making it accessible to builders who prefer not to paint but want a result that doesn't look like an unpainted model.

[PREORDER] Motor Nuclear MNP-XH05XP Zhao Yun with Moonlight Jade Lion SP Color Limited Edition Model Kit

Motor Nuclear

$234.00

Overview The Motor Nuclear MNP-XH05XP Zhao Yun with Moonlight Jade Lion SP Color is a limited edition recolor of Motor Nuclear's flagship Legend of Star General rider-and-mount set, featuring a white-and-silver armor scheme inspired by Zhao Yun's legendary "white-robed, silver-armored general" appearance from classical Chinese literature. The kit includes two complete builds in one box - the Zhaoyun mecha and the fully articulated Moonlight Jade Lion mechanical mount - both built on zinc alloy inner frames with pre-painted armor components. Motor Nuclear is a leading Chinese third-party mecha kit manufacturer known for high part counts, alloy-reinforced construction, and designs drawn from Chinese mythology and the Three Kingdoms era. Key Features Limited Edition SP Color White-and-Silver Finish - Pre-painted silver outer armor recreates Zhao Yun's classical "white robe, silver armor" appearance, with gold and translucent blue accents throughout both models Two Complete Builds in One Box - Includes the Zhaoyun mecha (approximately 23 cm standing, 26 cm with horns) and the Moonlight Jade Lion mount (approximately 32 cm standing), reaching up to 41 cm in a mounted rearing pose Zinc Alloy Inner Frame - 25 alloy components with over 70% alloy proportion in the humanoid inner frame, providing rigidity and long-term pose-holding stability without the joint sag common in all-plastic builds Bionic Four-Layer Horse Construction - The Moonlight Jade Lion uses a bone, muscle, organ, and skin layered structural design with its own alloy inner frame, featuring multi-layered articulated neck, lateral pull joints, and independent dragon claw skirt armor movement 126 Runners and 10 Pairs of Interchangeable Hands - One of Motor Nuclear's largest kits by part count, with extensive hand options for weapon posing and display variety Full Weapon Set with Lightning Effects - Includes the Longdan Bright Silver Spear, Qinggang Sword with sheath, three translucent lightning effect parts for the spear, and two articulated cloaks Three Saddle Configurations - Interchangeable saddle parts allow display in complete form, saddled form, or riding form for different mounted display options Builder Context The MNP-XH05XP is an advanced-level build suited for experienced builders comfortable with high part counts and alloy frame integration. Assembly is snap-fit with pre-painted parts - no cement or painting is required for a display-ready result. At 126 runners with both a humanoid and a fully articulated mount to assemble, the total build time significantly exceeds most Bandai MG kits and is comparable in scope to assembling two separate large-format third-party kits. Builders should note that Motor Nuclear parts are known for sharp edges due to precise mold tolerances - quality side cutters and light sanding are recommended. The rubber-coated metal wire horse reins require careful handling during assembly. Why Build This Kit The Motor Nuclear MNP-XH05XP Zhaoyun with Moonlight Jade Lion SP Color is one of the only model kits on the market that includes a fully articulated mechanical mount with its own alloy inner frame, making it a genuinely unique display piece with no direct equivalent from Bandai or other third-party manufacturers. The SP Color limited edition specifically appeals to builders who want the white-and-silver scheme that references Zhao Yun's most recognizable literary depiction, as opposed to the standard version's colorway. At over 1,600 grams total assembled weight and a mounted rearing height of 41 cm, the finished display presence exceeds most 1/60 and Perfect Grade builds in both footprint and visual impact. Builders already familiar with Motor Nuclear from smaller kits like the BV-XH01 Xiang Yu or the MNP-XH03 Blue Dragon should treat this as a significant step up in complexity and build time. The combination of pre-painted alloy frames, translucent lightning effect parts, and articulated cloaks means the kit looks display-ready out of the box, but the 126-runner part count and dual-build structure make it a multi-session project rather than a weekend build. Box Contents Zhaoyun main mecha body x1 Moonlight Jade Lion (Yulan White Dragon Steed) mechanical mount x1 Longdan Bright Silver Spear x1 Qinggang Sword x1 Sword sheath x1 Longdan Bright Silver Spear lightning effect parts x3 Articulated cloaks x2 Interchangeable hand parts x10 pairs Humanoid display base x1 Horse display base x1 Humanoid stand x1 Horse stand x1 Base connectors x2 Base combination connectors x2 Saddle-to-body connector x1 Sword sheath connector x1 Saddle styling replacement part x1 Horse back styling replacement part x1 Horse arm styling replacement part x1 Rubber-coated metal wire horse reins x1 Horse reins connectors x2 Nameplate x1 Star Soul General sticker sheet x1 Brand Motor Nuclear Series Legend of Star General Model Number MNP-XH05XP Version SP Color Limited Edition (White/Silver) Zhaoyun Height Approx. 23 cm (without horns), 26 cm (with horns) Moonlight Jade Lion Height Approx. 32 cm (without horns) Mounted Rearing Height Approx. 41 cm (without base) Zhaoyun Weight Approx. 450 g (without weapons) Moonlight Jade Lion Weight Approx. 1,200 g Total Runners 126 Alloy Components 25 pieces (over 70% alloy proportion in humanoid frame) Materials ABS, POM, zinc alloy, rubber-coated metal wire Recommended Age 16+ Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] Sheik Mainland 3MIN Project-A 1/18 Fenrir A6 Assault Type

[PREORDER] Sheik Mainland 3MIN Project-A 1/18 Fenrir A6 Assault Type

Sheik Mainland

$25.00

Overview The Sheik Mainland 3MIN Project-A Fenrir A6 Assault Type is a 1/18 scale mecha model kit and the heavy-assault tactical variant of the original Fenrir A2 Standard Type. Roughly half the runners are entirely new molds, covering a redesigned head, chest armor, shoulder armor, shin armor, tactical comms backpack, skirt armor, and a significantly expanded weapon and hand type loadout. Each box includes two complete Fenrir A6 kits, and the model supports three official configurations - CQC (Battle Armor), LA (Light Assault), and FA (Full Armor) - plus an undocumented transformation into a mechanical locust form using the existing joints and armor structure. Key Features Three Official Configurations - CQC Battle Armor for maximum protection, LA Light Assault for mobility-focused loadouts, and FA Full Armor for the heaviest weapon and armor coverage. Standard Type shoulder and knee armor parts are included for additional light-configuration options 8 Pairs of Hand Types - Five pairs feature wrist lateral articulation for natural weapon-holding angles. Includes fist (with movable thumb), pointing/finger-gun (with movable thumb), open palm (with four-finger inward bend), angled-grip pairs in both square and round hole variants for different weapon handles, and one bonus pair of POK wrist reinforcement joints for long-term durability Expanded Heavy Weapon Loadout - Rocket launcher with detachable warhead and rotatable grip/scope, assault rifle, micro submachine gun, tactical machete, dagger, grenade, and arm shield. All weapons are cross-compatible with the Standard Type Fenrir Tactical Comms Backpack - Rear-mounted radio module that detaches as a standalone display prop. The antenna is made from flexible soft rubber to resist white stress marks and breakage during handling Improved Joint Tuning - Upper waist tightened, lower waist loosened, and hip ball joints recalibrated compared to the Standard Type. Joint damping is more consistent across the entire body, and the knee joint no longer risks stress marks from over-tight assembly Rear-Mounted Skirt Armor - Both halves pivot from the rear on ball joints, allowing them to swing clear for forward kicks, side kicks, and deep crouching poses. Front skirt is a separate piece that flips upward independently Two Complete Kits Per Box - Standard packaging includes two full Fenrir A6 units with all accessories Builder Context The Fenrir A6 Assault Type assembles in approximately 10-15 minutes per unit using optimized single-gate runner design with no tools, adhesives, or painting required. Build time is longer than the Standard Type due to the additional armor and weapon parts but remains beginner-friendly. The instruction manual has known diagram errors at step 5 (hip joint orientation shown inverted) and mislabeled part numbers on the arm assembly - builders should match parts by shape rather than relying solely on the printed part numbers. The 3mm port system is fully compatible with Bandai 30MM, Kotobukiya MSG, and other Sheik Mainland 3MIN series accessories including the Xenostrike, Xentinel, and Worker Bee lines. Why Build This Kit The Sheik Mainland Fenrir A6 Assault Type is the recommended starting point for the 3MIN Project-A series if choosing between the A6 and the Standard Type, because it delivers significantly more accessories, improved joint tuning, and greater configuration variety at the same price tier. Chinese reviewer consensus from multiple July 2026 build videos confirms that the A6's wrist lateral articulation - present on five of the eight hand pairs - resolves the most common complaint about 1/18 scale kits: unnatural weapon-holding angles, particularly with longer rifles. At approximately 11 cm tall, the Fenrir A6 packs articulation density comparable to Bandai's RG line into a kit that costs under $15 per unit (two per box), making it one of the highest value-to-articulation ratios currently available from any manufacturer at any scale. The A6 does not replace the A2 Standard Type - the two designs are visually distinct enough to display well together, and the A6 includes the Standard Type's original shoulder and knee armor as alternate parts. Builders should note that the A6 does not include the small display stand that comes with the Standard Type, and the thicker shin armor slightly reduces maximum knee bend compared to the A2. Box Contents 2x Fenrir A6 Assault Type runner sets (approximately half new-mold runners) New-mold head, chest armor, shoulder armor, shin armor, and knee armor parts Standard Type shoulder armor and knee armor parts (for light configuration) Tactical comms backpack with detachable radio module and soft rubber antenna Rear-mounted skirt armor with ball-joint pivot assembly Rocket launcher (detachable warhead, rotatable grip and scope) Assault rifle Micro submachine gun Tactical machete Dagger Grenade Arm shield 8 pairs of hand types (5 with wrist lateral articulation, 1 POK reinforcement pair) Shoulder-mounted weapon hardpoint adapters Ball-joint to straight-peg connector adapters Angled connector adapters (for offset shield mounting) Assembly instructions Specifications Series 3MIN Project-A Scale 1/18 Height Approximately 11 cm (head height) Materials PS, POK (composite joints and bonus wrist joints), soft rubber (backpack antenna) Kit Count 2 per box Assembly Time Approximately 10-15 minutes per unit Construction Snap-fit, no tools or adhesives required Configurations CQC (Battle Armor), LA (Light Assault), FA (Full Armor) Hand Types 8 pairs (5 with wrist lateral articulation) Compatibility 3mm universal hardpoints (30MM, MSG, Sheik Mainland 3MIN series) Display Stand Not included Release July 2026 Manufacturer Sheik Mainland Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[BACKORDER] KaiTianJiChuang 1/12 Mecha Angel Black Swan Elysia Model Kit

KaiTianJiChuang

$80.00 $74.00

Overview The KaiTianJiChuang 1/12 Mecha Angel Series Black Swan Elysia is a mecha girl assembly model kit and the debut release in KaiTianJiChuang's original Mecha Angel series. Designed in collaboration with illustrator TangHuang, Elysia is a silver-haired, heterochromatic-eyed combat unit featuring a dual-mode transformation system that switches between Land-Battle and Air-Battle configurations through swappable legs, backpacks, and shoulder armor. The kit includes two complete armed bodies - a first for Chinese-manufactured mecha girl kits - allowing both combat modes to be displayed simultaneously without swapping parts. KaiTianJiChuang (开天机创) is a new Chinese manufacturer entering the mecha musume space with the Mecha Angel line, set in an original sci-fi universe on planet Terra where paired combat operatives known as "Mecha Angels" are trained to fight an alien threat. The kit builds from 41 runners using PC, ABS, POM, and PVC. Key Features Dual Armed Bodies - Two complete armed body configurations (Land-Battle and Air-Battle) are included as separate builds, not just swappable parts. Both can be displayed simultaneously using the shared base body arms. One-Piece POM Skeleton - The internal frame uses a single-piece molded POM skeleton for tight, stable joints across the torso and limbs. Joint tightness is notably firm out of the box. 10 Face Options - Includes 2 movable-eye face plates (calm and combat expressions) with eye adjustment tool, 3 pre-painted face plates with fixed eye directions, and 5 blank face plates for custom painting or waterslide decal application. Full Weapon Loadout with Multiple Configurations - Dimensional Energy Sword with two swappable effect blade sets (standard overload and particle flame wave), Pulse Wave Ruler with replaceable energy blade, and Sky-Piercing Twin Guns with muzzle effect parts. Support Craft Transformation - The Air-Battle backpack and Land-Battle energy sword combine to form a standalone support aircraft. Transparent standing aids allow the figure to stand on the craft without a support arm. Modular Display Base with Stasis Pod - The display stand splits into two independent bases (each with storage compartments and support arm mounting), and reassembles with the included transparent tube into a hibernation capsule display large enough for other 1/12 mecha girl kits. Extensive Effect Parts - Wing effects, Flame Slash effect, gun effects, backpack cannon effects, leg-mounted cannon effects (two lengths), and jet thruster effects. Every visible thruster port has a dedicated mounting point for its corresponding effect part. Builder Context This is a snap-fit assembly kit with 41 runners, pre-painted face plates, and color-separated parts designed for a display-ready result without painting. The color instruction manual includes chibi character illustrations and a QR code linking to an official assembly video, making it accessible for intermediate builders. The one-piece POM skeleton produces very tight joints - builders should expect to sand ball joint pegs (especially at the hips and shoulders) and may want to apply Vaseline to the hip joints for smoother articulation. Some surface-visible nub gates are positioned in tricky locations where a hobby knife produces cleaner results than nippers alone. The thigh parts have a visible mold line that can be removed with light sanding. Builders familiar with Kotobukiya Frame Arms Girl or Eastern Model A.T.K. Girl kits will find the construction approach comparable, with the dual-body configuration and support craft transformation adding complexity beyond a typical single-body mecha girl build. Why Build This Kit The KaiTianJiChuang Black Swan Elysia is the first Chinese-manufactured mecha girl kit to include two complete armed bodies in a single box, allowing both Land-Battle and Air-Battle forms to be displayed simultaneously rather than requiring part-swapping between configurations. With 41 runners, 10 face plates, two full weapon sets, a transformable support craft mode, and a stasis pod display base, the accessory density at this price point exceeds comparable 1/12 mecha girl kits from Eastern Model, Nuke Matrix, and Hemoxian. The face sculpt quality is the kit's standout feature - Chinese community reviewers consistently single it out as the strongest element of the product, with the movable-eye heterochromatic design and anime-proportioned eye sockets producing a display presence that avoids the uncanny-valley effect common in mecha girl kits with movable eyes. At 17 cm in armed configuration, Elysia has strong 1/12 shelf presence and is display-compatible with figma, SHFiguarts, and other 1/12 action figures. Builders should know that KaiTianJiChuang is a debut manufacturer - joint tightness requires sanding for comfortable play, and the body proportions prioritize the armed equipment over figure detail, but the face quality and accessory volume set a strong foundation for the Mecha Angel line.

Motor Nuclear BV-XH04 Legend of Star General Tie Fu Tu - Xun Yong Class Model Kit

Motor Nuclear BV-XH04 Legend of Star General Tie Fu Tu - Xun Yong Class Model Kit

Motor Nuclear

$45.00 $36.00

Official Motor Nuclear Retailer LA Scale Model is an authorized retailer of Motor Nuclear. All Motor Nuclear model kits are 100% genuine and sourced directly from the manufacturer. Overview The Motor Nuclear BV-XH04 TieFuTu is a plastic assembly model kit from Motor Nuclear's Xun Yong Class (BV) line, part of the Legend of Star General series. TieFuTu is a mass-production heavy armored unit from the Milun Kingdom faction, inspired by the historical Iron Pagoda heavy cavalry of the Jin Dynasty - fully encased siege infantry designed for frontal assault and armored advance. The Xun Yong Class is Motor Nuclear's compact, budget-friendly entry tier, and the BV-XH04 is the third character release in the line following Xiang Yu (BV-XH01) and Wen Zhong (BV-XH02). Key Features Xun Yong Class (BV) Line: Motor Nuclear's compact kit tier, delivering the brand's signature mecha aesthetics and articulation at a smaller size and lower price point than the standard MNP series. 193 Parts Across 11 Runners: Streamlined build with ABS construction and POM joint components for durable, stable articulation. No alloy parts or full inner frame - a lighter, faster build than the larger MNP kits. Eight Independently Articulated Skirt Armor Panels: Front, rear, and side skirt sections each articulate independently, with side panels featuring two-segment hinges that fold outward to clear leg movement for posing. Chinese Heavy Cavalry Design Language: Layered, tower-style modular armor plates from head to foot with a dark military green and iron gray color scheme, bronze-gold accents, and a weathered white shoulder treatment. The three-eyed head design is recessed into the chest armor, creating a hunched, armored silhouette distinct from any other kit in the line. Full Weapon Loadout with Storage Mounting: Beast-face round shield, long lance with transparent orange blade, and short straight sword. All weapons mount to the back and skirt armor for full-equipment carry display. Pull-Out Hip Extension Joints: Thighs feature pull-down joint extensions that increase lateral kick range and improve ground contact for stable standing poses. Four Pairs of Interchangeable Hands: Eight hand parts covering fist, weapon grip, and open palm configurations. Builder Context The BV-XH04 TieFuTu is a beginner-friendly kit with a 2-3 hour build time and snap-fit construction requiring no glue or paint for a complete appearance. Part fit across the kit runs tight - a common Motor Nuclear trait - so a basic hobby knife or light sanding on transparent parts and tight-fitting connections is recommended. Comparable in difficulty to a Bandai HG kit, with the added density of layered skirt armor engineering that gives the build more mechanical interest than a typical 1/144-class kit. Why Build This Kit The Motor Nuclear BV-XH04 TieFuTu is the first mass-production "grunt" unit in the Xun Yong Class lineup, and its appeal is fundamentally different from the named character kits (Xiang Yu, Wen Zhong) that preceded it - this is a kit designed to be bought in multiples and displayed as a heavy armored squad or army formation. The layered tower-armor silhouette, recessed three-eyed head, and dark military color scheme give each unit a distinctive, imposing shelf presence at 15 cm, and the eight-panel articulated skirt system provides more posing flexibility than most kits in this price range from any manufacturer. Builders who enjoy military-themed army building or diorama scenes will find the TieFuTu a natural complement to other Xun Yong Class kits like the BV-XH01 Xiang Yu, particularly since all weapons store on-body for a fully loaded look without the need for separate display stands. Motor Nuclear's armor surface detail is consistently cited by Chinese builders as rivaling Bandai Ver.Ka kits in precision, and the TieFuTu maintains that standard at a fraction of the price and build time. Builders should be aware that head articulation is limited due to the recessed chest design - the head rotates approximately 90 degrees left and right but has almost no vertical tilt - and some batches may show minor sink marks on dark green and deep-colored parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are third-party mecha model kits?

Third-party mecha model kits are original-IP plastic assembly kits produced by independent manufacturers - primarily Chinese studios - outside of Bandai. They use the same snap-fit runner format as Gunpla but feature original mecha designs, not Gundam. Most kits include display bases, water slide decals, and full weapon loadouts in the box. Popular brands include SNAA, Motor Nuclear, Infinite Dimension / IN ERA+, Ming Jiang Legend, and EDDAS.

Are third-party mecha kits compatible with Bandai Gunpla?

Third-party mecha kits are standalone original designs and are not cross-compatible with Bandai Gunpla parts or frames. However, the build process is very similar - snap-fit assembly on runners with panel-lined armor, poseable frames, and decal application. Builders experienced with Bandai MG or RG kits will find the construction format familiar, though engineering approaches and plastic materials vary by brand.

Which third-party mecha kit brand should I start with?

For builders coming from Bandai Gunpla, SNAA's Beyond Exquisite (BE) 1/144 line offers the most familiar experience - compact kits with full inner frames, sharp detail, and price points under $30. For builders who want a larger-format premium experience, Motor Nuclear's Blazing Stars line and Infinite Nova's RMD series deliver MG-grade complexity with alloy frame options. The right starting point depends on your preferred scale, budget, and whether you prioritize detail density, articulation, or accessory count.

Do third-party mecha kits require painting?

Most third-party mecha kits feature strong color separation through molded plastic and some pre-painted parts, so they look presentable without painting. Some premium kits from Motor Nuclear and Infinite Dimension include pre-painted alloy frames and colored armor panels. Panel lining, decal application, and topcoating will improve the finished result, but painting is optional for most kits in this collection.

Do third-party mecha kits have English instructions?

Most newer third-party mecha kits include English translations in their instruction manuals, though translation quality varies by brand. The diagrams are generally clear enough to follow regardless of language. Many third-party brands have also introduced instruction improvements not found in Bandai kits, such as listing required runners at the start of each build section and labeling runner colors.

Where can I buy third-party mecha model kits in the US?

LA Scale Model is an authorized US retailer for all major third-party mecha brands including SNAA, Motor Nuclear, Infinite Dimension, IN ERA+ (Infinite Nova), Ming Jiang Legend, EDDAS, Hemoxian/NonZero, and others. All kits are genuine and sourced directly from manufacturers. Orders ship from California.
