COLLECTIONS
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] Motor Nuclear MNP-XH08 Wei Yuan Shi Imperial Guard Variant Model Kit
Motor Nuclear
$68.00Overview 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. Box Contents Main body (38 runners, 449 total parts including 11 pre-assembled alloy inner frame components) Replacement hands (4 pairs) Backpack x1 Replacement backpack x1 Tiandu Army Standard Beast-Face Round Shield with handle x1 Type Zero-Three Gold Melon Hammer x1 Tiandu Army Standard Long Sword x1 Type 33 Light Crossbow x1 Type 63 Horizontal Blade Prototype - Infantry Edge x4 Horizontal blade mounting parts x1 pair Replacement faceplates x4 Replacement helmet crest x1 Replacement skirt armor x1 pair Shield arm connector (short) x1 Shield arm connector (long) x1 Rear skirt armor weapon connector x1 Backpack banners x2 Weapon connectors x3 Base stand with support arm x1 set Water slide decal sheet x1 Nameplate sticker sheet x1 Instruction manual Quality certificate After-sales service guide Brand Motor Nuclear Series Legend of Star General Grade Steadfast Valor (忠勇级) Model Number MNP-XH08 Height Approx. 19 cm (21.5 cm with helmet tassel) Width Approx. 10 cm Weight Approx. 358.4 g (body + all accessories), 181.6 g (body only) Materials ABS, POM, PVC, Zinc Alloy Total Parts 449 Runners 38 (26 pre-painted) Pre-Painted Parts 193 Pre-Assembled Components 11 alloy inner frame assemblies Decals Water slide decal sheet (military rank), nameplate sticker Display Stand Included Age Recommendation 16+ Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

Alligator Clip Sticks 225mm Bamboo Painting Clips
LA Scale Model
$5.99 ~ $10.99Overview 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
CangDao
$60.00Overview 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
Yu Yi Tang
$125.00Overview 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
EDDAS
$75.00 $70.00Overview 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)
KOSMOS
$76.00Overview 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
$70.00Official 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.

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.

Motor Nuclear MNP-XH17 Ma Chao Legend of Star General Model Kit
Motor Nuclear
$109.00Overview The Motor Nuclear MNP-XH17 Ma Chao is a Zhong Yong Class model kit from the Legend of Star General series, standing approximately 23.5 cm tall (to head, without backpack). 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. Box Contents Main body unit x1 Interchangeable hands x10 pairs Zhan Jin Hu Jia (Azure Gold Tiger Halberd) x1 Tianwu Liutou javelins (left) x3 Tianwu Liutou javelins (right) x3 Large backpack x1 Large backpack Tianwu javelin connectors x2 sets Small backpack x1 Replacement chest armor x1 Replacement arm armor x1 Yu Chan gauntlet x1 Yu Chan spike x1 Replacement front skirt armor (riding pose) x1 Jin Shi Nu (Brocade Lion Crossbow) x1 Jin Shi Nu shield/crossbow mode connector x1 Jin Shi Nu auxiliary connectors x1 pair Jin Shi Nu rear skirt armor storage connector x1 Jin Shi Nu handle x1 Additional replacement hand parts x2 pairs Zhan Jin Hu Jia rear skirt armor connector x1 Fur cape (with ornamental attachments) x1 Body-to-stand connector x1 Hexagonal display base pieces x3 Display base connectors x3 Display base nameplate x1 Display stand x1 set Nameplate sticker sheet x1 Brand Motor Nuclear Series Legend of Star General Product Name Ma Chao (Zhong Yong Class) Model Number MNP-XH17 Height Approx. 23.5 cm (to head, without backpack) Width Approx. 16 cm (without backpack) Body Weight Approx. 377.3 g (without backpack) Total Weight (with accessories) Approx. 635 g Total Parts 591 Runners 31 (7 pre-painted runners, 104 pre-painted parts) Inner Frame Pre-assembled alloy inner frame (13 parts) Materials ABS, POM Construction Snap-fit assembly, no glue required Painting Required No - pre-painted parts and colored runners
Motor Nuclear MNP-XH05XP Zhaoyun with Moonlight Jade Lion SP Color Limited Edition Model Kit
Motor Nuclear
$234.00Overview The Motor Nuclear MNP-XH05XP Zhaoyun 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] Sheik Mainland 3MIN Project-A 1/18 Fenrir A6 Assault Type
Sheik Mainland
$25.00Overview 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 $74.00Overview 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. Box Contents Base body x1 Armed replacement body x1 Waterslide decal sheets x2 (body markings + facial expressions) Armed hand parts x6 pairs Movable-eye face plates x2 (with heterochromatic and single-color eye options) Pre-painted face plates x3 Blank face plates x5 Air-Battle Mode leg parts x1 pair Land-Battle Mode leg parts x1 pair Land-Battle backpack x1 (asymmetric design with energy canister and sword storage) Air-Battle backpack x1 (upper wing unit + lower thruster unit) Dimensional Energy Sword x1 (with two swappable effect blade sets) Pulse Wave Ruler x1 (with replaceable energy blade) Sky-Piercing Twin Guns x2 (with muzzle effect parts) Land-Battle shoulder armor x1 pair (three-piece samurai-style articulated plates) Mechanical replacement head x1 Replacement chest armor (large) x1 Transparent standing aid pieces x1 pair Wing effect parts x1 pair Flame Slash effect parts x1 Sky-Piercing Twin Guns effect parts x2 Backpack cannon effect parts x2 Air-Battle leg cannon effect parts x2 (two lengths) Backpack jet effect parts (large) x2 Backpack jet effect parts (small) x2 Modular display base (splits into two stands, each with storage compartment) x1 Display base mechanical arms x2 (screw-adjustable tension) Stasis pod transparent tube x1 Black Swan exclusive nameplate x1 Eye adjustment tool x1 (stored inside display base) Color instruction manual with QR code assembly video x1 First-batch bonus x1 Series Mecha Angel Character Black Swan Elysia Scale 1/12 Height (base body) Approx. 15.5 cm (to top of head) Height (Air-Battle form) Approx. 17.5 cm Height (Land-Battle form) Approx. 17 cm Materials PC, ABS, POM, PVC Runner Count 41 Model Code KTJ10001 EAN 6976621100013 Box Dimensions 320 x 240 x 140 mm Weight Approx. 1,089 g Manufacturer KaiTianJiChuang (开天机创) Backorder Notice:This item is currently on backorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] Motor Nuclear BV-XH04 Legend of Star General TieFuTu - Xun Yong Class Model Kit
Motor Nuclear
$45.00 $36.00Official 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. Box Contents 11 runners (193 parts total, ABS + POM) Beast-face round shield Long lance with transparent orange blade Short straight sword Weapon mounting connectors Four pairs of interchangeable hands (8 total) Color-correcting sticker sheet Instruction manual Specifications Brand Motor Nuclear Series Legend of Star General Line Xun Yong Class (BV) Model Number BV-XH04 Character TieFuTu (Iron Pagoda) - Mass Production Heavy Armored Unit Faction Milun Kingdom Heavy Armor Corps Height Approx. 15 cm (5.9 in) Parts Count 193 Runner Count 11 Material ABS, POM Inner Frame None (no alloy components) Product Type Plastic assembly model kit (snap-fit) IP Original third-party mecha design Country of Origin China Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] Hemoxian NIKKE Goodess of Victory the Red Riding Hood Model Kit
HeMoXian
$100.00 $95.00Overview The Hemoxian 1/12 Red Hood is a licensed model kit based on the character from GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, the mobile shooter developed by SHIFT UP. Red Hood is one of the game's most popular characters, known for her sniper specialization, distinctive red coat, and central role in the story campaign. This kit includes two complete body builds in a single box - standing and crouching - allowing both of Red Hood's signature in-game poses to be displayed simultaneously without swapping parts between them. Hemoxian is a Chinese model kit manufacturer known for the Over Zero original mecha series and the Reverberation of Medta line. The Red Hood kit marks Hemoxian's first licensed character product from a video game IP, applying their snap-fit engineering and pre-painted runner approach to a bishoujo-style character kit at 1/12 scale. Key Features Dual Body Builds - One box contains complete standing and crouching body assemblies as independent builds, with no shared parts between them Pre-Painted Runners - 15 of the 26 total runners are pre-painted, combined with tampo-printed face parts for near-official-art color accuracy out of the box 10 Interchangeable Face Parts - Seven pre-printed expressions covering combat, casual, and victory poses, plus three blank faces for custom painting Dual-Material Coat System - Red Hood's signature coat is included in both soft PVC and hard plastic versions, interchangeable between standing and crouching bodies along with matching arm parts Wolfsbane Sniper Rifles - Two complete rifles with interchangeable muzzle tips, soft rubber gun straps, and removable magazines Fabric Scarves with Internal Wire - Two cloth scarves with embedded wire allow free-form shaping to match in-game poses First-Batch Bonus: Recordable Cassette Tape - A functional cassette tape and storage case are included as a first-production exclusive, referencing Red Hood's in-game cassette player accessory Builder Context This is a snap-fit kit with pre-painted runners that does not require cement or painting for a display-ready result, making it accessible to builders familiar with Bandai HG or 30MS kits. The 26-runner part count and dual-body construction put the total build time and complexity above a typical single-body 1/12 kit. Nippers and basic cleanup tools are recommended. The fabric scarves and soft PVC coat parts introduce mixed-material handling that builders accustomed to all-plastic kits should approach with care during assembly. Why Build This Kit The Hemoxian 1/12 Red Hood is currently the only licensed plastic model kit of Red Hood from GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE available from any manufacturer. The dual-body design is the kit's primary differentiator - most character model kits at any scale require choosing between poses or swapping parts, while this kit builds both the standing and crouching forms as separate complete assemblies from a single box. At 17.5 cm standing height, the finished build has shelf presence comparable to other Hemoxian 1/12 releases like the Jiulian and Rhande Koskinen kits. The 15 pre-painted runners and tampo-printed faces mean the finished model closely matches the character's in-game appearance without painting, which positions it as an alternative to pre-painted PVC figures for NIKKE fans who want a hands-on build experience. Builders should note that Hemoxian kits use a proprietary joint system that differs from Bandai or Kotobukiya standards, so posing behavior and hand-grip tightness may require adjustment from builders whose experience is primarily with those brands.

[PREORDER] Infinite Nova 1/100 In Era+ RMD Azure Falcon TR-2243EX
Infinite Dimension
$120.00 $115.00Official Infinite Nova Retailer LA Scale Model is an authorized retailer of Infinite Nova. All Infinite Nova model kits are 100% genuine and sourced directly from the manufacturer. Overview The Infinite Nova IN ERA+ 1/100 TR-2243EX Azure Falcon is a transformable RMD Series mecha model kit that converts between a streamlined fighter jet mode and a fully articulated humanoid mode. This is the first transformable entry in the RMD lineup, developed using multi-linkage hydraulic technology upgraded from the 1/72 Fenrir and a new pin-latch locking system designed to solve the structural stability problems common in transformable model kits. The Azure Falcon uses ABS construction with alloy reinforcement in structural load-bearing areas and POM components at key joints. IN ERA+ is the consumer model kit brand produced through a collaboration between Infinite Dimension (design) and SNAA (engineering and manufacturing), with the RMD series representing their mechanically dense, full-skeleton product line. Key Features Full Transformation System: Converts between fighter jet mode (43 cm total length) and humanoid mode through a multi-step process using hidden pin-latch locks under the armor, rotational locking joints, and retractable mechanical arms - not a simple lie-down transformation Alloy + POM Reinforced Structure: Alloy mechanical arm supports the backpack assembly, alloy-and-POM combination at the waist core with a notch-and-protrusion half-turn lock, and POM at key joint points for long-term stability Fully Articulated Assembled Fingers: First kit at this scale in the IN ERA+ line to feature fully poseable individual fingers with different-colored fingertips and an internal lever mechanism that locks weapons in place when the wrist is rotated Detailed Cockpit: Opening canopy reveals instrument panel, control stick, buttons, and independently articulating safety harness, with a 15 mm pilot figure assembled from 6 separate parts - the highest cockpit detail level in the IN ERA+ product line Slide-Rail Linked Weapons Bay: Opening the dorsal bay cover causes the grenade launcher to slide forward into firing position automatically, with rotating surveillance probes on both sides Upgraded Multi-Linkage Hydraulic System: Builds on the Fenrir's multi-linkage technology with additional linkage and hydraulic structures in the legs that drive the knee exterior and rear calf simultaneously during bending Dual-Form Balance Design: Both fighter and humanoid modes are designed as complete, uncompromised forms - the head is fully hidden in fighter mode with no visible seams, and the cockpit maintains a level orientation in both configurations Builder Context The Azure Falcon is an advanced build with a high part count and complex transformation engineering. The manufacturer explicitly recommends that all builders - including experienced ones - watch their official video tutorial before beginning assembly, due to the number of new structural mechanisms and lock points involved. The multi-linkage joints, pin-latch systems, and transformation sequence add significant complexity beyond a standard RMD kit. Builders familiar with MG-grade Bandai kits will find the frame-construction approach comparable, but the transformation mechanism and alloy-reinforced joints are closer in complexity to premium transforming kits from brands like Cang Toys. Basic modeling tools including nippers are required. Why Build This Kit The IN ERA+ TR-2243EX Azure Falcon is the first fully transformable model kit in the RMD series, and it represents a fundamentally different engineering approach from the Thunderbolt, Lizard, or Aurora - those are pose-and-display kits, while the Azure Falcon is designed to shift between a 43 cm fighter jet and a fully articulated humanoid using a pin-latch locking system that the manufacturer developed specifically to address the structural fragility problems common in transformable plastic model kits. The articulated assembled fingers with internal lever weapon-locking and the detailed 6-part cockpit interior are features not found on any other kit in the IN ERA+ catalog, and the multi-linkage hydraulic leg system is explicitly described as an upgrade over the Fenrir's technology. At the 1/100 scale price tier, the Azure Falcon competes with Bandai MG kits on shelf presence while offering a transformation system and mechanical density that no current Bandai MG provides. Builders should expect a significantly more involved and challenging build than other RMD releases due to the transformation mechanisms, multiple lock points, and alloy-POM hybrid construction. Box Contents Plastic runner sheets (ABS) Alloy structural components (mechanical arm, waist core parts) POM joint components Pilot figure parts (6 pieces) Assembly manual Specifications Brand Infinite Nova (IN ERA+) Designer Infinite Dimension Series RMD (Real Minutia Designs) Model Number TR-2243EX Product Name Azure Falcon (清渊) Scale 1/100 Material ABS, alloy, POM Fighter Mode Length 43 cm Type Transformable Model Kit Transformation Fighter jet ↔ humanoid Release Date Late August 2026 (estimated) PREORDER Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

Infinite Nova IN ERA+ 1/100 THB-03M UMD Thunderbolt Manta Ray (Extreme Speed Dark) Model Kit
Infinite Dimension
$75.00Official Infinite Nova Retailer LA Scale Model is an authorized retailer of Infinite Nova All Infinite Nova model kits are 100% genuine and sourced directly from the manufacturer. Overview The Infinite Nova IN ERA+ THB-03M Thunderbolt Manta Ray Extreme Speed Dark is a 1/100 scale original mecha model kit from the UMD (Ultimate Minutia Design) series, and a recolored release of the Thunderbolt 2.0 Manta Ray platform. The original Manta Ray used a fluorescent pink and blue-green cyberpunk color scheme - this Extreme Speed Dark version replaces it with deep black armor panels, vivid orange accents, and gunmetal gray frame sections for a more aggressive, stealth-oriented appearance. The waterslide decals have also been upgraded from the original's standard color decals to metallic silver. IN ERA+ is the consumer label for the Infinite Dimension and SNAA collaboration - Infinite Dimension handles the industrial design work that originated in high-end GK resin kits, while SNAA provides the engineering and injection-mold manufacturing. Key Features Extreme Speed Dark Colorway: Black armor with vivid orange accent panels, gunmetal gray inner frame sections, and white mechanical detail points, replacing the original Manta Ray's fluorescent pink and blue-green scheme. Upgraded Metallic Silver Decals: Waterslide decals upgraded from the original release's standard color decals to metallic silver, enhancing surface detail contrast against the dark armor. Manta Ray Backpack: Over 30 cm long flight unit with formula-racing-inspired central body, extending wing assemblies with hydraulic-style linkages, independently rotating propellers, front missile bays, vertically adjustable rear thrusters, and internal mechanical arms for weapon mounting. Cockpit and Pilot Figure: Self-contained cockpit module housed inside the backpack with a seated pilot figure, adding narrative display potential beyond the main mecha body. Reinforced Inner Frame: Refined and tightened frame mold addresses joint stability issues from the original Thunderbolt, with improved knee articulation and waist rotation joints for better posing under the weight of the backpack. Updated Main Body: Redesigned head sculpt with streamlined racing-helmet profile and full-face visor, asymmetrical dual-color shoulder armor, and hip joint locking mechanism for improved weight-bearing stability. Weapon Loadout: Assault rifle with internal structure and removable magazine, transformable rifle blade weapons, rocket anchor cable effect parts, and trident tail weapon. Builder Context This is an advanced-intermediate kit suited for builders with MG-level experience. The 32-runner part count and layered armor-over-frame construction produce a dense, time-intensive build. Snap-fit assembly with no cement required, though the tightened knee and waist joints may require extra force during assembly. Inner frame mechanical detailing has been compared by builders to Bandai's MG 2.0 line. Painting is not required for a complete appearance thanks to factory color separation and pre-painted metallic accents, and the upgraded metallic silver decals add detail contrast without additional aftermarket purchases. The dark color scheme particularly rewards panel lining to bring out surface detail. Why Build This Kit The IN ERA+ THB-03M Thunderbolt Manta Ray Extreme Speed Dark is the most part-dense kit in the Infinite Nova 1/100 lineup, with 32 runner plates producing both a fully articulated main body and a 30 cm+ manta ray flight backpack that functions as a second display piece on its own. The black-and-orange color scheme and upgraded metallic silver decals give this version a distinctly different shelf character from the original fluorescent release - builders who want the Manta Ray platform but prefer a more subdued, stealth-oriented aesthetic should choose this version over the original colorway. The combined display with the main body mounted on the backpack in flight configuration has visual presence comparable to a 1/60 scale kit, making it one of the highest shelf-impact options available under $80 in the third-party 1/100 category. At its price point, the Thunderbolt Manta Ray competes directly with premium MG Bandai kits but offers substantially more parts, a full inner frame with exposed mechanical detailing, and a cockpit-equipped flight unit that has no Bandai equivalent. Builders should note that balancing the combined form requires the included display stand - the backpack's weight makes unsupported standing poses impractical. Box Contents Thunderbolt main body parts with updated head, shoulder armor, and inner frame components (Extreme Speed Dark colorway) Manta Ray backpack assembly (wings, cockpit module with pilot figure, propellers, missile bays, thrusters, rocket anchor cable parts) Assault rifle with removable magazine Rifle blade weapons with transformable handles Trident tail weapon 2x articulated display stands Metallic silver waterslide decal sheet Metallic foil sticker sheet Assembly instruction manual Specifications Brand Infinite Nova / IN ERA+ Designer Infinite Dimension Manufacturer SNAA Series UMD (Ultimate Minutia Design) Model Number THB-03M Colorway Extreme Speed Dark (black armor, orange accents, gunmetal gray frame) Scale 1/100 Height Approx. 24 cm (9.44 in) Backpack Length Over 30 cm Materials ABS / POM / PVC Runner Count 32 plates (21 newly molded) Assembly Snap-fit, no cement required Paint Required No (pre-painted accents, factory color separation) Decals Metallic silver waterslide (upgraded from standard color) EAN 6912171006177
[LIMITED] Mechanicore 1/100 MEC10-ARC ZMX-42 Firehawk Arctic Combat Mode Model Kit
Mechanicore
$650.00Overview The Mechanicore 1/100 MEC10-ARC ZMX-42 Firehawk Arctic Combat Mode is a limited-edition color variant of Mechanicore's flagship mecha model kit. This version features a light gray base color scheme with military blue and black accents, representing a polar combat configuration. The Firehawk's design draws heavily from the MSN-04II Nightingale and MSN-04 Sazabi lineage, reinterpreted as an original Mechanicore design with a hawk-inspired silhouette. The kit converts between two distinct configurations - Genesic Heavy Assault Type and MS Close Combat Type - each with significantly different proportions and profiles. Mechanicore is a Chinese third-party manufacturer known for extremely high part counts, integrated LED systems, metal parts, and build complexity that exceeds most commercially available plastic model kits. The Arctic Combat Mode is limited to 3,888 units worldwide. Key Features Dual Configuration: Converts between Genesic Heavy Assault Type (520mm shoulder width, heavy armor) and MS Close Combat Type (152mm shoulder width, streamlined profile) Integrated LED System: Built-in LED lighting effects powered via USB Type-C Metal Parts: Includes die-cast metal components alongside PS, PC, and POM plastic for structural rigidity and weight Arctic Combat Color Scheme: Light gray base with military blue and black accents, distinct from the original red version Included Armament: Beam Tomahawk, Grenade Launcher, Beam Saber x2, and light-type shield First-Batch Bonus: Includes a set of clear transparent body armor parts for alternate display options Builder Context The Firehawk is an advanced-level kit that requires glue, paint, and finishing supplies. Build complexity is substantially above Bandai PG kits and closer to high-end garage kit territory, with extensive parts fitting, LED wiring, and screw-based assembly. Builders should expect a long-duration project with careful dry-fitting required throughout. Why Build This Kit The Mechanicore 1/100 ZMX-42 Firehawk Arctic Combat Mode is one of the most ambitious plastic model kits available from any manufacturer, with dimensions (26 cm head height, 52 cm shoulder width in Heavy Assault mode) and a parts count that dwarf even Bandai's PG line. The dual-configuration system that transforms the kit between a massive heavy assault profile and a compact close-combat silhouette is a genuine engineering feature, not a marketing gimmick - the shoulder width difference alone is over 360mm between modes. For builders who want a Nightingale-inspired design without being locked into Bandai's limited kit options, the Firehawk is currently the most detailed alternative at any scale. The Arctic Combat variant is the version to choose for builders who prefer military-toned color schemes over the original red, though both versions share identical engineering. At its price point, the Firehawk competes with premium resin conversion kits but offers the advantage of being a complete, self-contained product with integrated LED lighting and metal reinforcement out of the box. Box Contents PS, PC, POM plastic runners Die-cast metal parts LED lighting system with USB Type-C power Screws and hardware Beam Tomahawk Grenade Launcher Beam Saber x2 Light-type shield Clear transparent body armor parts (first-batch bonus) Assembly instructions Specifications Brand Mechanicore Model Code MEC10-ARC Scale 1/100 Head Height (Heavy Assault) 253mm (excluding head horn) Overall Height (Heavy Assault) 260mm Shoulder Width (Heavy Assault) 520mm Head Height (Close Combat) 234mm (excluding head horn) Overall Height (Close Combat) 278mm Shoulder Width (Close Combat) 152mm Materials PS, PC, POM, Die-Cast Metal, Screws, LED system Power USB Type-C Configurations Genesic Heavy Assault Type / MS Close Combat Type Limited Production 3,888 units worldwide Product Weight Approximately 7.7 kg Box Dimensions 72 x 56 x 26 cm Assembly Required Yes - glue, paint, and finishing supplies required
[PREORDER] Souling Toys The Sin of Dark Moon 1/12 Black Moon Lilithia & Sin Statue Gord Model Kit
Souling Toys
$115.00Overview The Souling Toys The Sin of Dark Moon is a 1/12 scale assembly model kit that pairs the fantasy warrior Black Moon Lilithia with the towering Audo life form Sin Statue Gord, released as the second wave of the AUDO·RESTORE HEART (奥多生命体:龙之心) IP. The set blends fantasy character sculpting with mechanical surface detailing and is built around an extensive linkage system that connects Lilithia, Gord, and a shared sculpted base into multiple display configurations, including a combined "Ruined Moon" form. Souling Toys (塑灵模玩) is a Chinese third-party studio developing an original fantasy-mecha universe, and this release refines the line with upgraded eye painting, reinforced peg engineering, and alloy weapon grips. Key Features Dual-Subject Diorama Set: Combines a 15 cm Black Moon Lilithia figure, a 29 cm Sin Statue Gord, and a 16 cm sculpted base into one connected display. Pre-Painted Faces and Expression Decals: Five pre-painted face sculpts plus four blank faces, upgraded eye painting, and dedicated Lilithia expression water decals. Mixed-Media Construction: ABS and POM parts combined with alloy weapon grips and a tattered fabric skirt with embedded shaping wire; soft-rubber parts at the leg joints allow dynamic leg posing. Reinforced Gord Engineering: C-clip-free assembly with thicker load-bearing pegs and uniformly upgraded plastic hardness for structural stability on the large body. Extensive Linkage System: Shared "Eroding Moon" device, "Dark Embrace" backpack, and Black Blood Church Candlestick; defeated-Gord parts reattach to Lilithia to form the "Ruined Moon" configuration. Alloy-Grip Signature Weapons: Lilithia's scythe "Eternal Sleep" and Gord's heavy "Ancient Trident" use bend-resistant alloy grips. Pack-In Lore Items: Includes the "To Lilithia Argin" novel and an in-universe Lilithia diary. Builder Context The Sin of Dark Moon suits intermediate builders comfortable with multi-material assembly kits. Construction is snap-fit, and the pre-painted faces plus factory-painted armor make the set display-ready without face painting, though panel lining and topcoating will sharpen the finish. Part count, alloy and fabric components, and the linkage gimmicks place it near MG-grade Bandai complexity, closer to a premium third-party figure kit than a beginner snap build. Why Build This Kit The Souling Toys The Sin of Dark Moon is built for collectors who want a large, story-driven diorama rather than a single figure, since it combines a 15 cm Lilithia figure, a 29 cm Gord creature, and a 16 cm sculpted base into one connected scene. Its defining feature is the linkage system: Gord's parts reattach to Lilithia to form the "Ruined Moon" configuration, and the shared base and "Eroding Moon" device let the two subjects be posed as a single display, which is uncommon among 1/12 character kits that ship as standalone figures. On a shelf, the 29 cm Gord gives the set strong vertical presence, closer in footprint to a large-scale creature kit than to a typical Master Grade Gundam. Compared with Bandai kits at a similar price, buyers are paying for mixed-media construction (alloy weapon grips, a wire-formed fabric skirt, soft-rubber joint parts) and pack-in lore items rather than for the runner efficiency and instruction polish Bandai is known for. Builders should know the faces arrive pre-painted while the rest of the kit benefits from panel lining and topcoat to match the promotional images, and that owners of the first wave, Daylight Meteor, can unlock additional linkage poses with Meteor Middel. Box Contents Sin Statue Gord main body x1 Black Moon Lilithia main body x1 Sin Statue exclusive sculpted base x1 Replacement hands x6 types Pre-painted faces x5 Blank faces x4 Scythe "Eternal Sleep" x1 Backpack "Dark Embrace" x1 Special device "Eroding Moon" x1 Tattered fabric skirt x1 Skirt soft-rubber replacement pieces x3 types Black Blood Church Candlestick x1 Heavy weapon "Ancient Trident" x1 "Daylight Meteor" universal interactive battle effect part x1 Ancient Trident grip replacement parts x4 Sculpted base replacement parts x4 Lilithia rear skirt replacement part x1 Sin Statue palm replacement parts x2 Lilithia backpack replacement part x1 Lilithia "Ruined Moon" form backpack connector x1 Black Moon x1 Universal small bases x3 Universal large base x1 Transparent stand rods x2 sprues Alloy weapon grips x2 Hot-silver water decal x1 Lilithia expression water decals x1 Background U-shaped board x1 "To Lilithia Argin" novel x1 Lilithia's diary x1 Assembly instruction manual x1 Pearlescent after-sales card x1 Specifications Brand Souling Toys (塑灵模玩) Series AUDO·RESTORE HEART (奥多生命体:龙之心), Wave 2 Product Name The Sin of Dark Moon (罪斥黑月) Scale 1/12 Black Moon Lilithia Height Approx. 15 cm Sin Statue Gord Height Approx. 29 cm Base Height Approx. 16 cm Materials ABS, POM, alloy, fabric Assembly Snap-fit assembly kit Release 2026 Q3 Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[BACKORDER] Nuke Matrix 1/12 CF01 F.O.X. Long-Range Striker Unit Vivienne Hayha Model Kit
Nuke Matrix
$70.00Official Nuke Matrix Retailer LA Scale Model is an authorized retailer of Nuke Matrix. All Nuke Matrix model kits are 100% genuine and sourced directly from the manufacturer. Overview The Nuke Matrix CF01 F.O.X. Long-Range Striker Unit is a 1/12 scale mecha musume model kit and the debut release in the Cyber Forest (Fantasy Girls) series. It depicts Vivienne Hayha, the Empire's top sniper and a subject of the "Maiden Project," built around a cyborg aesthetic of exposed spinal detailing and prosthetic limb parts, and armed with her signature ZERO System cross unit. Nuke Matrix is a Chinese studio whose Cyber Forest line pairs articulated mecha girl kits with dense weapon and accessory loadouts. Key Features Molded in color: Full character body pre-colored for a display-ready result without painting. Five weapons: Includes the oversized ZERO System giant cross, sniper rifle, assault rifle, dagger, and laser saber. Interchangeable face plates: Three tampo-printed faces plus four blank faces for custom expression painting. Swappable configurations: Changeable armored and standard leg-and-arm part sets for two build looks. Twelve hands: A full set of interchangeable hands for weapon holding and posing. Wide articulation: Broad range of joint motion for dynamic sniper and combat poses. Display base and wire: Dedicated action base plus posing wire included. Builder Context The CF01 is best suited to intermediate builders comfortable with mecha musume kits such as Kotobukiya Megami Device or Bandai 30 Minutes Sisters. It is a snap-fit build that needs no cement, but the small face-plate pegs, hand joints, and heavy under-gating reward patience and careful nub cleanup rather than speed. Why Build This Kit The Nuke Matrix CF01 F.O.X. Long-Range Striker Unit is the debut kit in the Cyber Forest (Fantasy Girls) line and works as the recommended entry point into the series, since it establishes the cyborg sniper aesthetic of exposed spinal detailing and prosthetic limb parts that defines the brand. At 16 cm assembled it sits in the same display class as Bandai 30 Minutes Sisters and Kotobukiya Megami Device kits, so it is a familiar size for builders already collecting mecha musume. The kit is molded in color and snap-fit, meaning no paint or cement is required for a display-ready result, though panel lining improves definition on the armor. Builders should know that Cyber Forest kits use extensive under-gating to hide nub marks, and unlike Bandai RG kits these gate points are not marked in the manual, so each part should be checked before removal. The CF01 is also the most accessory-focused kit a new Cyber Forest builder can start with, bundling five weapons including the oversized ZERO System cross alongside twelve interchangeable hands and seven total face plates. Box Contents Vivienne Hayha body x1 Changeable armored legs and arms x1 set Changeable standard legs and arms x1 set Tampo-printed face plates x3 Blank face plates x4 Interchangeable hands x12 Water decal sheet x1 Sticker sheet x1 Posing wire x1 Display base x1 Giant Cross (ZERO System) x1 Sniper rifle x1 Assault rifle x1 Dagger x1 Laser saber x1 Specifications Brand Nuke Matrix Series Cyber Forest (Fantasy Girls) Kit Number CF01 Character Vivienne Hayha Scale 1/12 Assembled Height Approx. 16 cm (160 mm) Material ABS / PVC Assembly Snap-fit, no cement required Molding Molded in color EAN (2025 re-release) 4573611690046 Backorder Notice:This item is currently on backorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] SNAA 1/144 BE The Round Table Knights - SC-012 Rampage Lion-Bedivere
SNAA
$38.00 $35.00Official 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 SC-012 Rampage Lion Bedivere is a 1/144 scale model kit and the tenth release in the Beyond Exquisite (BE) Round Table Knights series. Bedivere is the first beast-type unit in the Round Table Knights lineup and is classified as a Sanctuary-tier knight - where every previous entry features a humanoid silhouette with handheld weapons, Bedivere introduces a lion-shaped head, integrated claw gauntlets, multiple tail stingers, and a dual-configuration weapon system that switches between a standard combat loadout and a full Burst Equipment mode. SNAA is a sub-brand of Supernova, a Chinese original-IP manufacturer known for Western fantasy-themed mecha designs, and the Round Table Knights line is their most popular series among NA builders. Key Features Dual Configuration System: Bedivere can be displayed in Standard Equipment mode (Rending Steel Claws, single Pursuit Tail Stinger, Lion King Core Cannon at 60% output) or Burst Equipment mode (Lion King's Wrath oversized gauntlet, three Pursuit Tail Stingers, additional heavy melee weapons, Core Cannon at 100% output). This gives the kit two distinct display profiles from one box. Beast-Type Design: Bedivere is the only unit in the Round Table Knights lineup with a non-humanoid head. The lion-shaped helm features an articulated jaw, layered mane armor, and translucent crest parts. 10-Piece Weapon Loadout: The kit includes Rending Steel Claws x2, Pursuit Tail Stingers x3, Lion King Core Cannon x1, Lion King's Wrath giant hand gauntlet x1, Sky-Rend Cannon (giant hand cannon) x1, Crusher heavy greatsword x1, and Soul Devourer knuckle duster x1. Full Inner Frame: Complete articulated skeleton consistent with all BE-series kits, supporting dynamic posing and cross-unit part compatibility. Pre-Painted Armor Panels: Multi-color separated parts with pre-painted accents for a display-ready finish out of the box. Translucent Parts: Clear parts on the head crest and mane area provide visual contrast and depth on display. Builder Context Assembly is snap-fit with pre-painted armor. No painting or cement is required for a finished display. Build complexity is comparable to Bandai RG-grade kits, with a similar part count and inner frame structure. The dual-configuration weapon system means builders will assemble more weapon components than a typical BE kit, but the shared inner frame will be familiar to anyone who has completed a previous Round Table Knights entry. Recommended for intermediate builders or anyone who has completed at least one RG or MG kit. Why Build This Kit The SNAA SC-012 Rampage Lion Bedivere is the first beast-type unit in the Round Table Knights series, making it the most visually distinct entry in the lineup and the kit most likely to stand out in a display alongside other Round Table Knights. The dual-configuration system - Standard Equipment for a streamlined combat look, Burst Equipment for a fully loaded aggressive display - gives builders two distinct presentation options from one box, which is unusual at this price point in any brand. With 10 individual weapon components including the Lion King's Wrath oversized gauntlet, Crusher heavy greatsword, and three Pursuit Tail Stingers, Bedivere matches the accessory density of the Percival Deluxe Edition despite being a standard-priced BE release. The Round Table Knights BE line uses snap-fit construction with pre-painted armor panels and full inner frames at price points that consistently undercut Bandai RG kits, and Bedivere continues that value pattern while offering a fundamentally different silhouette - lion head, digitigrade legs, and claw weapons rather than the humanoid knight profile that defines the rest of the series. Box Contents Rampage Lion Bedivere main body components Rending Steel Claw x2 Pursuit Tail Stinger x3 Lion King Core Cannon x1 Lion King's Wrath (giant hand gauntlet) x1 Sky-Rend Cannon (giant hand cannon) x1 Crusher (heavy greatsword) x1 Soul Devourer (knuckle duster) x1 Water-slide decal sheet (expected, consistent with all previous BE releases) Instruction manual Specifications Brand SNAA x Starry Craftsman Series The Round Table Knights - Beyond Exquisite (BE) Model SC-012 Rampage Lion Bedivere Scale 1/144 Materials ABS, PS (pending official confirmation) Construction Snap-fit assembly, no cement required Weapon Count 10 components across Standard and Burst configurations China Release July 2026 Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

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.
