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] 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
$62.00Official 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.

Key Features Polar Shark Colorway: White armor with metallic navy and pearl-blue accents and a translucent blue chest core, replacing the original three-shade red scheme. Four Heavy Gatling Guns: Back-mounted multi-barrel cannons fed by 112 individual ammunition chain links for the line's signature heavy-weapons silhouette. Beam Armament: Includes a beam axe, thermal axe, beam dagger, and beam long sword for close-combat posing. Exposed Inner Frame: High-detail integrated inner frame with pre-painted gold and silver accents visible through the segmented armor. Hidden-Gate Engineering: Hidden gates on roughly 90% of parts for clean, near-nub-free assembly. Engineered Articulation: Two-segment waist bending joint, extendable shoulder joints, and spring-loaded calf knees for dynamic posing. Decals and Finishing: Waterslide decal sheet, aluminum-foil metal stickers, and metallic-finished detail parts. Builder Context The RMD Lizard Polar Shark is suited to intermediate and advanced builders. It is a snap-fit kit, but the high part count (43 runners, roughly a 10 to 12 hour build) and the 112 hidden-gate ammunition chain links make nub cleanup time-consuming. The engineering density and inner-frame detail are comparable to MG-grade Bandai kits, and builders who have completed other In Era+ RMD releases such as the Thunderbolt will recognize the construction approach. Why Build This Kit The Infinite Nova 1/100 In Era+ RMD Lizard Polar Shark is the white-and-blue variant of the RMD Lizard, aimed at builders who want the kit's four-Gatling heavy-weapons profile in an arctic-themed scheme rather than the original red. Its factory color separation means the finished build looks display-ready without painting, which makes it accessible to builders comfortable with MG-grade Bandai kits but looking for a non-Gundam third-party subject. At roughly 24 cm with the back-mounted Gatling rack deployed, the Polar Shark has strong shelf presence and a wider footprint than most 1/100 humanoid kits. Buyers should know that the four heavy Gatling guns add significant weight to the shoulders, so posing the full weapon array depends on careful joint balancing, and the 112 hidden-gate ammunition chains are the most time-consuming part of the build. Box Contents Main body and armor parts (1 set) Integrated inner frame components (1 set) Four heavy Gatling guns with 112 ammunition chain links Beam axe, thermal axe, beam dagger, and beam long sword Optional hand parts set Backpack and weapon-mount assembly 2 connector springs and 2 ammunition-belt wires POM joint parts for elbows Waterslide decal sheet Aluminum-foil metal sticker sheet Assembly manual Specifications Brand Infinite Nova Label In Era+ Series RMD Model RMD Lizard (Polar Shark) Colorway Polar Shark (white / metallic blue) Scale 1/100 Height Approx. 24 cm Built Weight Approx. 550 g (with full equipment) Runners 43 Material ABS (with POM joint components) Articulation Two-segment waist, extendable shoulders, spring-loaded knees Assembly Snap-fit; hidden gates on approx. 90% of parts Build Time Approx. 10 to 12 hours Decals Waterslide decal sheet and aluminum-foil metal stickers Type Third-Party Gundam Gunpla-Like Mecha Model Kit PREORDER Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] MS General 1/10 UBP-A04S Black Panther
MS General
$68.00 $65.00The MS General UBP-A04S Black Panther is a 1/10 scale assembly mecha girl model kit and the second release in the officially licensed Mecha BREAK (解限机) x MS General collaboration line. It adapts the Black Panther striker from the mecha-action game Mecha BREAK into a poseable mecha girl figure, carrying over the unit's dark in-game color scheme and its full weapon loadout, and pairs with the line's first release, the white UBP-R02T Falcon, as the "twin stars" of the in-universe Bifrost Industrial Group. MS General (将魂姬 / Jiang Hun Ji) is a Chinese manufacturer known for color-separated, snap-fit mecha girl kits across lines such as its Seven Deadly Sins and Shadow zodiac series. Key Features Officially licensed Mecha BREAK design - based on the Black Panther striker from the Bifrost Industrial Group. Poseable base body - the underlying figure retains articulation beneath the armor. Swappable melee loadout - the "Svalinn" combat defense shield and "Sol" thermal energy sword interchange freely in hand. Deployable "Skoll" shield - secondary defensive shield with an expanding/articulated structure. Extendable "Alsvid" heavy lance - telescoping cavalry-lance weapon replicating its in-game form. Color-separated, snap-fit construction - reaches its base colors without painting, consistent with the series. Builder Context This is an intermediate-friendly snap-fit kit that does not require cement, with the dark armor and accent colors achieved through molded color separation rather than paint, leaving panel lining and a top coat as optional finishing steps. In construction approach it sits alongside Bandai's 30MS line and Kotobukiya's Megami Device kits, but at a larger 1/10 scale and built around a single licensed character. Why Build This Kit The MS General UBP-A04S Black Panther is the kit to buy for Mecha BREAK players who want the Black Panther striker rendered as a buildable 1/10 mecha girl, and it is the second entry in the game's official model-kit collaboration after the white UBP-R02T Falcon. Its appeal is weapon flexibility rather than raw part count: the Svalinn combat shield and Sol thermal energy sword swap freely in hand, the Skoll secondary shield deploys, and the Alsvid heavy lance extends, so one figure covers melee, defensive, and lance poses. In build approach it is comparable to Bandai's 30MS mecha girl line, using color-separated, snap-fit parts that reach their base colors without painting, but it is a larger 1/10 scale and a fixed licensed character rather than a customizable system. Buyers should know this is a fresh pre-order announced as a color-scheme reveal, so MS General has not yet published the assembled height, plastic types, or runner count. Anyone who already builds 30MS or Megami Device kits will find the construction familiar, with the Mecha BREAK license being the main reason to choose it over a generic mecha girl kit. Box Contents Black Panther mecha girl base body and color-separated armor parts "Svalinn" combat defense shield "Sol" thermal energy sword (interchangeable with the Svalinn shield) "Skoll" deployable secondary shield "Alsvid" extendable heavy lance Specifications Brand MS General (将魂姬 / Jiang Hun Ji) Series Mecha BREAK (解限机) x MS General Mecha Girl Series (2nd release) Model Number UBP-A04S Character Black Panther (黑豹) Scale 1/10 Type Assembly mecha girl model kit Assembly Snap-fit, color-separated (no cement required) Height Not yet published (pre-order) Material Not yet published (pre-order) Release July 2026 Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] Animester x Infinite Dimension Infinite Rank 1/72 Sky Blaze Unit 03 Model Kit
Infinite Dimension
$200.00 $192.00Official Infinite Dimension RetailerLA Scale Model is an authorized retailer of Infinite Dimension and Animester. All Infinite Dimension and Animester model kits are 100% genuine and sourced directly from the manufacturer. Overview The Sky Blaze (Unit 03) is a 1/72 scale snap-fit action model kit from the Core Crystallizer series, produced as a joint release between Animester and Infinite Dimension under the Infinite Rank product line. Designed around a heavy-assault concept with a core energy-pulse motif, the kit centers on a sniper-cannon loadout and a fully articulated multi-layer internal frame. It stands roughly 32 cm at the main body and approximately 38 cm in its full-armor configuration, with over 25 pre-painted runners that include metallic-finished armor parts. Key Features Multi-layer internal frame: targeted load-bearing structure with reinforced key joints for stable, high-tension poses. POM gear joint system: gear-driven ratchets at the hips, knees, and ankles produce click-stop positioning, with a high-strength integrated hip axle. Near 80% leg armor articulation: multi-stage linked waist structure allows deep forward-lean and back-bend poses. Pre-painted metallic parts: over 25 pre-sprayed runners, with metallic-color parts finished using a detailed multi-stage coloring process. Five-axis precision tooling: parts cut on five-axis machinery for sharp surface detail. Heavy weapons loadout: two pulse rifles, two heavy sniper cannons, and a tactical backpack. Upgraded exclusive display base: high-strength chassis with multi-position adjustable bracket slots that lock height and angle, plus replaceable bracket heads. Builder Context This is an intermediate to advanced build aimed at experienced hobbyists. It is a snap-fit kit with pre-painted metallic parts, so paint is optional rather than required, and the multi-layer inner frame and gear-joint engineering place it closer to MG-grade Bandai kits than to beginner snap kits in assembly complexity. Why Build This Kit The Animester x Infinite Dimension Sky Blaze (Unit 03) is built for collectors who want a large-format third-party mecha with a display-ready finish out of the box, since it ships with over 25 pre-painted runners and metallic-finished armor that remove the need for painting. In its full-armor configuration it stands roughly 38 cm, giving it a much larger shelf footprint than a standard 1/100 Master Grade kit despite its 1/72 scale, driven by the sniper-cannon and backpack loadout. Its multi-layer internal frame and POM gear joints at the hips, knees, and ankles are engineered to hold large action poses, placing its articulation closer to MG-grade Bandai kits than to entry-level snap kits. Builders should know the load-bearing structure relies on POM ratchet gears that click-stop at each angle, so heavy weapons like the twin sniper cannons are intended to be balanced through the joints and the included display base rather than through hand grip alone. The first-batch release adds two semi-translucent blue ion saber effect parts, which are not guaranteed on later production runs. Box Contents Sky Blaze main body x1 Pulse Rifle x2 Heavy Sniper Cannon x2 Tactical Backpack x1 Posing hands x5 pairs (gripping, charging, fist, relaxed, open) Sky Blaze exclusive display base x1 Three-claw mechanical arm x2 Leg smoked-clear (black translucent) replacement parts x2 First-batch bonus: Ion Saber x2 (semi-translucent blue) Specifications Brand Animester x Infinite Dimension Product Line Infinite Rank Series Core Crystallizer Unit Unit 03 (Sky Blaze) Scale 1/72 Height (Main Body) approx. 32 cm Height (Full-Armor Form) approx. 38 cm Material ABS, POM Assembly Snap-fit, pre-painted Release Q4 2026 Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] SO.SKILL x Eastern Model 1/12 ATK Girl Nine-Tailed Fox Da Ji Model Kit
Eastern Model
$80.00 $75.00The SO.SKILL x Eastern Model 1/12 The Nine-Tailed Fox Da Ji is a snap-fit, full-articulation plastic model kit produced as a collaboration between SO.SKILL (圣斯基) and Eastern Model (御模道) for the long-running ATK Girl line. The kit depicts the nine-tailed fox Da Ji and converts between a light form and a fully armored "berserk" configuration through swappable limbs, a swappable head, and a rear-mounted Nine-Tail Annihilation System. ATK Girl is Eastern Model's articulated female figure series, and this release introduces a newly tooled base body with revised proportions, updated face sculpts, and reinforced one-piece arm and leg parts. Key Features Dual Light and Armed Forms - swap the limbs and head and attach the Nine-Tail system to convert between the unarmed light form (approx. 17 cm) and the armored form (approx. 19 cm). Nine-Tail Annihilation System - a rear-mounted array of eight articulated mechanical tails with multi-segment joints, integrated thrusters, and six transparent "Huanmei" blades that slide out and detach for hand-held use. Ten Face Options - five pad-printed expression faces plus five blank faces for water-slide decal customization, all swapped by removing the front hair base. Transformable Ninth-Tail "Qingshi" Weapon - a single hand-held armament that functions as both a staff and a rifle and stows on the Nine-Tail system's weapon rack as the ninth tail. Newly Tooled Base Body - revised proportions with one-piece arm and leg parts and combination interlocking joints, described by Eastern Model as a no-fall-off articulation upgrade over earlier ATK Girl bodies. Posing Accessories - multiple replacement hand pairs plus OK, pointing, and finger-heart gestures, a wire-cored fur boa for the light form, six thruster effect parts, and a universal display stand. Material and Finish - PVC/ABS parts with a matte finish and slightly translucent skin-tone plastic; red markings and panel lines applied via the included water-slide decal sheet. Builder Context This is a snap-fit kit suited to beginner and intermediate builders, with no cement required and pad-printed faces and pre-colored armor that allow a complete look without painting. Decal application and light seam cleanup are the main finishing steps. The build and articulation are comparable to other ATK Girl machine girl kits and to entry-level Bandai 30MS figures, though reviewers note loose ball joints and tight leg joints that benefit from careful handling. Why Build This Kit The SO.SKILL x Eastern Model 1/12 The Nine-Tailed Fox Da Ji is best suited to collectors of articulated machine girl figures who want a kit that displays in two distinct configurations rather than a single fixed pose. Its main point of difference within the ATK Girl line is the newly tooled base body, which uses one-piece arm and leg parts and revised proportions that depart from the thinner limbs of earlier releases in the series. On a shelf the light form stands about 17 cm and the armed form about 19 cm, placing it close in height to a Bandai 30MS kit but with a denser accessory count, including ten face options and the multi-tail Nine-Tail Annihilation System. Compared with snap-fit Bandai kits at a similar price, Da Ji reaches a display-ready look without painting thanks to pad-printed faces and pre-colored armor, but the red detailing relies on the included water-slide decals rather than molded color separation. Builders should know that reviewers report loose ball joints, tight hip joints, and small parts such as the side bangs and tail blades that can pop off during handling, so gluing select connection points and easing tight joints is recommended before posing. Box Contents Da Ji main body (light form) x1 Pad-printed replacement faces x5 Blank faces x5 Replacement hand pairs x4 "OK" hand x1 Pointing hand x1 Finger-heart hand x1 Replacement front bangs x1 "Tianhu Face Armor" (天狐面甲) armed-form head x1 "Pouxin Claw" (剖心爪) armed arms x1 pair "Zhonggu Hook" (踵骨钩) armed legs x1 pair Nine-Tail Annihilation System (玖尾歼灭系统) x1 "Qingshi" (倾世) ninth-tail staff/rifle x1 Thruster effect parts x6 Wire-cored fur boa accessory x1 Water-slide decal sheet x1 Universal display stand x1 Specifications Brand SO.SKILL x Eastern Model (御模道) Series ATK Girl Character The Nine-Tailed Fox Da Ji Scale 1/12 Type Full articulation plastic model kit Height (Light Form) approx. 17 cm Height (Armed Form) approx. 19 cm Runners 26 Material PVC / ABS Assembly Snap-fit (no cement required) Finish Matte, pre-colored; water-slide decals included Face Options 10 (5 pad-printed, 5 blank) First-Edition Note Light-pink armed-form hair; standard release uses two dark-tone hair parts Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

[PREORDER] Orange Cat Industry x Wave 1/35 ARX-8 Laevatein with XL-3 Booster Full Metal Panic Model Kit
Orange Cat Industry
$185.00Overview The Orange Cat Industry x Wave Corporation 1/35 ARX-8 Laevatein is a large-format assembly model kit based on the iconic Arm Slave from the Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory anime series. This version recreates the Laevatein in its Last Decisive Battle configuration, bundled with the XL-3 Emergency Deployment Booster that Sousuke Sagara uses during the final arc of the series. The kit is a collaboration between Orange Cat Industry, a Chinese manufacturer known for high-detail licensed kits, and Wave Corporation, a Japanese hobby company with decades of experience in mecha and sci-fi model engineering. Key Features 100 Runners with 13 Pre-Painted Plates: Multi-color injection molding with 13 runners of factory-painted parts covering metallics and accent details, reducing the need for hand-painting to achieve a display-ready finish. Built-In LED Light Units: Includes LED modules for the camera eyes, heat dissipation lines, and cockpit interior - no aftermarket lighting kits required. Full Weapon Loadout: Ships with the 165mm Demolition Gun (with folding gimmick), GRAW-4 Monomolecular Cutter, and Lambda Driver Canceller ("Fairy's Feather"), all faithfully recreating the Laevatein's in-series armament. XL-3 Emergency Deployment Booster: The massive dorsal booster from the final battle is included as a separate assembly with a 46.5 cm wingspan, mountable to the Laevatein or displayable alongside it on the included stand. POM Joint Construction: Dedicated POM material runners for joint components provide long-term articulation stability and resistance to stress whitening. Sectioned Runner Organization: All 100 runners are sorted and bagged by body section, keeping the build manageable despite the high part count. Articulated Pilot Figure: Includes a poseable cockpit pilot figure with an openable head unit for cockpit display. Builder Context This is an advanced-level build suited to experienced modelers comfortable with high part counts and extended assembly sessions. The 114-page instruction manual guides the builder through an inner frame-first construction sequence. The kit uses snap-fit assembly but the volume and complexity - 100 runners across a mech and a full booster unit - place it closer to a Bandai Perfect Grade in scope and build time. Three types of decals are included: waterslide decals, adhesive sticker sheets, and 3D detail stickers for color correction on small parts. Springs and wire are also included for mechanical detail construction. Why Build This Kit The Orange Cat Industry x Wave 1/35 ARX-8 Laevatein is currently the most comprehensive plastic model kit of the Laevatein available from any manufacturer, surpassing both the Bandai 1/60 HG and the Aoshima 1/48 ACKS versions in scale, part count, and accessory density. At 24 cm tall with a booster wingspan of 46.5 cm, the completed build has display presence comparable to a Bandai Perfect Grade, and the included LED units for the eyes, cockpit, and heat dissipation lines mean it looks display-ready without aftermarket electronics. Builders familiar with large-format third-party kits from brands like Motor Nuclear or DLKHobby will find the build philosophy similar - inner frame first, sectioned runner bags, POM joints - but the licensed Full Metal Panic! IP and Wave Corporation co-development set this apart from original-IP Chinese mecha kits. This is not an entry-level kit: the 100-runner count and 114-page manual make it a project build best suited to hobbyists who have completed at least a few MG or PG-tier kits and are comfortable with multi-session assembly. Box Contents 100 runners (including 13 pre-painted runner plates) POM joint runners LED light units (head, torso, cockpit) Articulated pilot figure 165mm Demolition Gun (with folding gimmick) GRAW-4 Monomolecular Cutter Lambda Driver Canceller ("Fairy's Feather") XL-3 Emergency Deployment Booster assembly Display stand (supports both Laevatein and XL-3 Booster) Waterslide decal sheet Adhesive sticker sheet 3D detail sticker sheet (for color correction) Film/membrane decal sheet Springs and wire 114-page instruction manual Line art card Specifications Brand Orange Cat Industry x Wave Corporation Series Full Metal Panic!

[PREORDER] Motor Nuclear BV-XH02 Wen Zhong Grand Preceptor Lei Sheng Pu Hua Valiant Grade Model Kit
Motor Nuclear
$30.00Official 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-XH02 Wen Zhong is a plastic assembly model kit from Motor Nuclear's Valiant Grade (Xunyong / BV) line, part of the Legend of Star General series. Designated as the Tian Li Star - Lei Sheng Pu Hua, Wen Zhong is inspired by Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong from the classic Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods (Fengshen Yanyi), reimagined as an original mecha design with a lightning-elemental theme expressed through blue-green transparent accent parts with metallic backing, spike-style armor geometry, and wide-shouldered aggressive proportions. The Valiant Grade line is Motor Nuclear's compact, budget-friendly entry tier - smaller in scale and part count than the flagship MNP kits, while retaining the brand's mechanical design language and articulation focus. Key Features Valiant Grade (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. 13 Runners with Pre-Painted Details: Includes pre-painted gold runners and pre-painted metallic blue-green eye parts for display-ready color accuracy straight from the box. Lightning-Themed Transparent Parts: Blue-green transparent components are integrated throughout the shoulders, arm armor, and frame, with silver metallic paint applied to the interior surfaces for enhanced reflectivity and visual depth. Transformable Dual Gold Whips: Two multi-segment gold whips serve as the primary weapons. Each segment rotates independently, allowing the whips to be reconfigured into dual sword mode or combined into a single large weapon. POM Joint Components: Dedicated black POM runner provides durable, stable connection points across the frame's articulation joints - the same frame structure used in the BV-XH01 Xiang Yu. Four Pairs of Interchangeable Hands: Fists, straight grip, and angled grip hands provide versatile display and weapon-holding options. Full Articulation System: Head tilt and 360-degree rotation, pull-out shoulder joints, full arm raise and bend range, waist tilt, pull-down hip joints, and front/rear skirt armor with dedicated clearance mechanisms for leg posing. Builder Context The BV-XH02 Wen Zhong shares the same frame structure as the BV-XH01 Xiang Yu, making it an entry-level kit suitable for beginners. The 13-runner part count and snap-fit construction make it a quick, satisfying build that experienced builders can finish in a single sitting. Comparable in difficulty and scale to a Bandai HG kit, with no glue or paint required for a complete appearance. Some individual part connections may be tight due to POM joint tolerances - standard for this frame system. Why Build This Kit The Motor Nuclear BV-XH02 Wen Zhong is the second release in the Valiant Grade line and offers a meaningful upgrade over the BV-XH01 Xiang Yu in weapon complexity - the transformable dual gold whips that convert between whip, dual sword, and combined modes give it more display versatility than Xiang Yu's single Overlord Spear. At approximately 15 cm, Wen Zhong sits comfortably alongside Bandai HG kits on a shelf but offers a Chinese mythology-inspired spike-style aesthetic with lightning-themed transparent accents that is visually distinct from anything in the Gundam catalog. Builders interested in Motor Nuclear but not ready for the 50+ runner MNP-line kits will find the Valiant Grade Wen Zhong a practical entry point that demonstrates the brand's design language - wide shoulders, narrow waist, aggressive silhouette, integrated clear parts - at a fraction of the build time and cost. The character also previews what to expect from the upcoming full-size MNP-XH11 Wen Zhong and Black Qilin kit, which will include an alloy inner frame and a buildable mount. Box Contents 13 runners (including pre-painted gold runners and black POM joint runner) Pre-painted metallic blue-green eye parts Blue-green transparent parts with silver metallic interior coating Two multi-segment gold whips (transformable to dual swords or combined weapon) Four pairs of interchangeable hands (fists, straight grip, angled grip, default) Instruction manual Specifications Brand Motor Nuclear Series Legend of Star General Line Valiant Grade (Xunyong / BV) Model Number BV-XH02 Character Wen Zhong - Grand Preceptor Character Designation Tian Li Star - Lei Sheng Pu Hua Height Approx. 15 cm (5.9 in) Runner Count 13 Material ABS, POM 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.

Mecha Core Industry 1/100 Oberon Dark Angel Ver. 2.0
Mecha Core Industry
$72.00Overview The Mecha Core Industry 1/100 Oberon Dark Angel Ver. 2.0 is a color variant and partial retool of the original Oberon, rendered in a black, dark gray, red, and gold color scheme inspired by dark angel aesthetics. Beyond the new colorway, this version introduces newly tooled parts - a redesigned head, an alternate chest armor option, and alternate foot armor - making it a structural upgrade rather than a simple repaint. Mecha Core Industry (also known as Nucleus Industrial or Tian Wei) is a Chinese third-party mecha manufacturer whose Oberon is the centerpiece of their Star Guardian line, recognized for its MG-scale engineering and 52 cm wingspan backpack system. Key Features Dark Angel Color Scheme - Black and dark gray outer armor over a gold matte inner frame, with deep red accent parts across shoulders, front skirt, lower legs, and collar New-Tooling Parts (Ver. 2.0) - Redesigned head sculpt with a more angular Gundam-style silhouette, alternate wider chest armor with dark gray heat sinks, and streamlined alternate foot armor Transparent Armor Options - Includes transparent black outer armor runner (swappable with solid black) and transparent red parts (swappable with solid dark red), allowing builders to reveal the gold inner frame beneath 52 cm Wingspan Backpack - Large articulated wing system with internal linkage mechanisms and built-in wing-tip supports for freestanding display Full Weapon Loadout - Energy sword, composite gun-shield, dual close-combat sabers, and dual modular close-combat weapons, all recolored to match the Dark Angel scheme Funnel System with Dedicated Display - Six feather-style remote funnels with individual transparent stands and a ring-shaped display base for floating formation arrangements Gold Matte Inner Frame - Pre-colored internal skeleton with hydraulic rod linkage at the waist and multi-joint articulation throughout the legs Builder Context The Oberon Dark Angel Ver. 2.0 is an intermediate-to-advanced build with 25 runners and snap-fit construction that does not require cement. Builders familiar with MG-grade Bandai kits will find the complexity comparable, though third-party fit tolerances apply - some pegs may need reaming or reinforcement. The wing backpack joints benefit from tightening with a joint reinforcement pen for stable posing, and the front skirt's small red accent parts can come loose during handling. An action base is recommended for display with the full wing system deployed, as the backpack weighs nearly as much as the body. Why Build This Kit The Mecha Core Industry 1/100 Oberon Dark Angel Ver. 2.0 is one of the few third-party 1/100 mecha kits that offers both a dramatic color variant and genuinely new tooling - the redesigned head, wider chest armor, and angular foot plates give the Dark Angel a distinct silhouette rather than just a palette swap. At 23 cm tall with a 52 cm wingspan, the completed build has commanding shelf presence that exceeds most MG Gunpla in sheer footprint, making it a natural display centerpiece. The transparent black and transparent red armor options add visual depth by revealing the gold inner frame, which gives intermediate builders a way to achieve a layered look without painting. Builders who already own the original white Oberon will find the Dark Angel version worth building separately for the new head and chest sculpt alone, while newcomers to Mecha Core Industry should note that the original Oberon's known fit issues - tight wing pivot joints, loose heel armor pegs, and small parts that detach on the front skirt - carry over here and benefit from basic tools like a joint reinforcement pen and nippers. For builders looking at Wing Gundam-inspired third-party kits in the 1/100 range, the Oberon Dark Angel competes directly with kits like the Infinite Dimension Genesis and Motor Nuclear offerings at a similar price point, with the funnel system and dual-option transparent armor giving it an edge in accessory count. Box Contents 25 runners (including transparent black and transparent red runners) Gold matte pre-colored inner frame runners New-tooling head parts New-tooling chest armor parts New-tooling foot armor parts Original head, chest, and foot armor parts (builder's choice) Energy sword Composite gun-shield Close-combat sabers x2 Modular close-combat weapons x2 Feather funnels x6 Dedicated transparent funnel stands x6 Circular funnel display base x1 Optional gold pre-painted armor runner x1 Specialized hands x4 pairs (open, gun grip, sword grip, fist) Display base with wing engraving x1 Display base support arm x1 Water-slide decal sheet x1 Instruction manual x1 Specifications Scale 1/100 Height 23 cm (9.1 in) Wingspan 52 cm (20.5 in) Material ABS Runner Count 25 Assembly Snap-fit, no cement required Manufacturer Mecha Core Industry (机核工业) Series Star Guardian Version Dark Angel Ver. 2.0
[BACKORDER] SNAA 1/144 BE The Round Table Knights - Furious Warhammer Galahad
SNAA
$35.00 $33.00Official SNAA RetailerLA Scale Model is an authorized retailer of SNAA. All SNAA model kits are 100% genuine and sourced directly from the manufacturer. SNAA SC-010 Furious Warhammer Galahad The SNAA SC-010 Furious Warhammer Galahad is a 1/144 scale model kit from the Beyond Exquisite (BE) Round Table Knights series. Galahad is the final unit in the Sanctuary tier - the highest of three ranks in the Round Table Knights lineup (Gale, Steel Knight, and Sanctuary) - and is designed as a heavy assault knight-class mecha built to overwhelm defensive formations through raw power. SNAA is 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 Heavy Assault Design: Galahad has the stockiest, most heavily armored silhouette in the Round Table Knights lineup, with layered shoulder armor, a horned knight helmet, and reinforced leg plating designed for a tank-class battlefield role. Oversized Battle Axe: The primary weapon is a large-format battle axe with a broad crescent blade, giving the kit a distinct melee-focused identity compared to the sword and lance loadouts of other Round Table Knights. Arm-Mounted Shield: An integrated shield unit is built into the left forearm, maintaining Galahad's defensive theme without requiring a separate handheld shield part. Assault Hoverboard Base Unit: Galahad includes a bladed vehicle-style hoverboard that the unit can be mounted on, making it the only Round Table Knight with a dedicated ride-on assault platform. Forearm Blade/Claw: The right forearm features an integrated blade or claw attachment for close-quarters combat options beyond the primary axe. 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. 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. Water-slide decals are expected to be included for detail finishing, consistent with all previous BE-series releases. Recommended for intermediate builders or anyone who has completed at least one RG or MG kit. Why Build This Kit The SNAA SC-010 Furious Warhammer Galahad is the heaviest-looking unit in the Round Table Knights series and the only one that includes a dedicated ride-on assault vehicle, making it visually distinct from every other kit in the lineup. Where previous Sanctuary-tier knights like Percival (SC-009) emphasized weapon density and ranged capability, Galahad commits fully to a tank-class melee archetype with its oversized battle axe, integrated arm shield, and reinforced armor plating. At approximately 18 cm tall before mounting on its hoverboard base, Galahad will have the largest combined display footprint of any 1/144 Round Table Knight released to date. 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 Galahad continues that value pattern. Builders who already own other Round Table Knights will find the shared inner frame system familiar, while the mounted hoverboard configuration offers a posing option that no other kit in the series provides.

$90.00 $85.00Hemoxian 1/12 Rusted Brier - Rhande Koskinen The Hemoxian 1/12 Rhande Koskinen is a fully transformable assembly model kit from the Rusted Brier (铁锈蔷薇) series - a new original IP line from Hemoxian set in a dieselpunk world where young women are converted into hybrid combat units known as THMs (Tactical Humanoid Machines). Rhande Koskinen and her transformable mecha vehicle "Feng Ren" can be configured across five distinct display modes: base Mecha Girl form, Armed Form with external leg and back armor, Humanoid Mecha Form, Semi-Vehicle Mecha Form, and a full propeller-driven Vehicle Form inspired by WWII-era fighter aircraft. Hemoxian is the manufacturer behind the Over Zero series and the Reverberation of Medta Jiulian kit, known for engineering functional mechanical gimmicks into snap-fit plastic model kits. Key Features Five-Mode Transformation System - Reconfigure between Mecha Girl, Armed Form, Humanoid Mecha, Semi-Vehicle Mecha, and full Vehicle Form using shared structural components between the figure and mecha vehicle. Dual Build - Kit includes both the Rhande Koskinen figure (approx. 13.5 cm) and her dedicated mecha vehicle "Feng Ren," which assembles into a complete propeller-driven aircraft frame at approximately 19.5 cm in mecha configuration. Dieselpunk Military Aesthetic - Olive drab armor plating, yellow engine nacelles, red-tipped propeller blades, and riveted panel detail draw from WWII-era fighter aircraft and industrial military design language. Pre-Painted Components - Partially pre-painted parts including skin tone, blue hair, brown flight suit, and military green armor reduce the need for painting out of the box. Connective Backpack System - Back-mounted connective module allows the mecha armor to attach directly to the figure body, enabling the armed and semi-vehicle transitional forms. Weapon Loadout - Includes wing-mounted gun pods, blade weapons integrated into the mecha arms, and additional armaments visible across the vehicle and humanoid mecha configurations. Display Stand Included - Heavy-duty display stand supports both ground and flight poses across all five configuration modes. Builder Context Rhande Koskinen is an intermediate-level snap-fit kit that does not require cement or painting for a display-ready build, though nippers and basic cleanup tools are recommended. The transformation between five modes involves physical part-swapping rather than a single continuous transformation mechanism - builders should expect to disassemble and reconfigure components to switch between forms. Builders familiar with Hemoxian's previous 1/12 Jiulian kit or Kotobukiya Frame Arms Girl kits will find the mecha girl construction familiar, while the vehicle component adds a layer of engineering complexity comparable to a Bandai HG kit with a dedicated support craft. Why Build This Kit The Hemoxian 1/12 Rhande Koskinen is the first release in the Rusted Brier series and introduces a transformation system that is uncommon in the mecha girl model kit category - most competing products from Kotobukiya, Bandai 30MS, or other Chinese manufacturers offer armor-up configurations but not a full vehicle mode with propeller-driven aircraft aesthetics. At approximately 19.5 cm in mecha form, the combined figure-plus-vehicle assembly has display presence comparable to a Bandai MG kit, while the ¥218 RMB price point positions it below most 1/10 scale Hemoxian Over Zero releases. The dieselpunk military theme sets it apart visually from the cyberpunk direction of the Over Zero line and the horror aesthetic of Jiulian, making it appealing to builders who want a mecha girl kit with a more grounded, historical-military visual identity. Builders should note that this is a brand-new IP with no prior gray prototype or builder reviews available at time of preorder - first-batch buyers are committing based on Hemoxian's track record with Jiulian and the Over Zero series rather than community feedback on this specific product. Box Contents Rhande Koskinen figure components (partially pre-painted) "Feng Ren" transformable mecha vehicle components External leg armor parts (front and back) Connective backpack module Helmet Wing-mounted weapon pods Blade weapons Interchangeable hand parts Display stand with support arm Specifications Brand Hemoxian (和模线) Series Rusted Brier (铁锈蔷薇) Character Rhande Koskinen (兰德·科茜基妮) Scale 1/12 Type Assembly Posable Model Kit Materials ABS, POM, PVC Height (Base Body) Approx. 13.5 cm Height (Mecha Form) Approx. 19.5 cm Release Date Estimated Q3 2026 Preorder Notice: This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

Cangdao CD-AS-01 Guardian - Sentinels of Azure Dragon (Long Ji)
CangDao
$50.00 $45.00Cangdao CD-AS-01 Guardian - Sentinels of Azure Dragon (Long Ji) The Cangdao CD-AS-01 Guardian - Sentinels of Azure Dragon is a plastic model kit with a pre-assembled alloy inner frame from Zen of Collectible's Four Sacred Beasts Sentinels line. The design draws heavily from traditional Chinese warrior armor, with dragon totem motifs integrated into the shoulder plates and waist armor and an overall silhouette inspired by ancient general's battle dress. This is Cangdao's first entry into the model kit format - the brand is better known for its premium 1/72 diecast action figures in the same Four Sacred Beasts universe, and the CD-AS-01 brings that design language into an accessible, builder-friendly kit. Key Features Pre-Assembled Alloy Inner Frame - The diecast skeleton comes ready to build on, providing solid joint tension and a stable, weighty feel throughout the finished model. Built-In LED Head Unit - The head features a magnet-activated LED system with two modes (steady glow and breathing pulse), powered by an AG0/LR521 battery. No light leakage reported in either head sculpt. Two Interchangeable Head Sculpts - One standard head and one alternate head with a gold oni-mask faceplate, both sharing the same LED electronics module. Modular Weapon System with Multiple Combinations - Two swords, a long halberd, and a round shield can be recombined: the halberd shaft connects to the sword blades to form a crescent blade, while the shield attaches to transparent effect parts and the halberd shaft to create a shield axe. Universal 3mm Hardpoints - Mounting ports are distributed across the entire body, allowing weapons to be attached in various configurations and enabling cross-brand accessory compatibility. Articulated Weapon Mounting Arms - Two multi-joint mechanical arms on the backpack provide additional weapon hardpoint positions with adjustable angles. Extensive Articulation - Butterfly shoulders, pull-down hip joints, two-stage knee and elbow bends exceeding 120 degrees, linked armor panels on front/side/rear skirts, and a retractable neck joint for deep head tilting. Builder Context This kit is suited for intermediate builders comfortable with standard snap-fit model kit assembly. The alloy frame comes pre-assembled, and plastic armor parts snap onto it, so no cement is required. The runner count is comparable to a standard Bandai MG kit. The PVC hand parts and ponytail may benefit from cleanup, and builders who paint will get the most out of the gold and dark gray frame parts, which show some visible flow marks in the molded color. Why Build This Kit The Cangdao CD-AS-01 Guardian - Sentinels of Azure Dragon stands out as one of very few Chinese-style warrior mecha model kits currently available, combining traditional armor aesthetics with a diecast alloy inner frame at a price point well below most alloy-frame kits on the market. At 21cm tall, it has display presence comparable to a standard 1/100 scale MG kit, and the weapon combination system offers more configuration options than most kits in this price range. Builders familiar with Bandai MG kits will find the construction approachable, though the PVC hand parts are a known weak point - wrist joints can loosen when holding heavier weapons, and experienced builders may want to reinforce the hand-to-wrist connection with a small amount of adhesive. The kit is the first release in what Cangdao has announced as a multi-unit Sentinels line with at least three additional colorway and weapon variants planned, making it a natural entry point for builders interested in the series. For builders who want a mecha kit with a distinctly Chinese design identity rather than the Japanese mecha aesthetic that dominates the market, the CD-AS-01 is currently one of the strongest options available from any manufacturer at this price tier. Box Contents Pre-assembled alloy inner frame Plastic armor runner sets (multiple runners, ABS/POM) PVC hand parts (multiple grip types) PVC ponytail parts Two interchangeable head sculpts (standard and gold oni-mask variant) LED unit with magnet control module and AG0/LR521 battery Two swords Long halberd Round shield Transparent effect parts Two multi-joint weapon mounting arms 3mm connector pegs Display base Water slide decal sheet (gold and red patterns) Marking sticker sheet Instruction manual Brand Cangdao / Zen of Collectible (藏道模型) Model Number CD-AS-01 Product Name Guardian - Sentinels of Azure Dragon (巡界使 龙戟) Series Four Sacred Beasts - Sentinels Line Kit Type Plastic Model Kit with Alloy Inner Frame Height Approximately 21cm Materials ABS, Diecast Alloy, POM, PVC LED Built-in head LED (steady and breathing modes), magnet-activated, AG0/LR521 battery Decals Water slide decals and marking stickers included Display Base Included
Sheik Mainland 3MIN Project-A 1/18 Fenrir A2 Standard Type
Sheik Mainland
$25.00Overview The Sheik Mainland 3MIN Project-A 1/18 Fenrir A2 Standard Type is a compact, highly articulated mecha model kit from Sheik Mainland's original 3MIN Project series. Available in five colorways - Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, and Limited Metallic Black - each box contains two identical Fenrir A2 units with weapons and a display stand. The Fenrir A2 features a near-future realistic design aesthetic with 42 points of articulation driven by durable POM (polyoxymethylene) joints, delivering articulation ranges that exceed most kits in this size class. Key Features Two Complete Kits Per Box: Each box includes two identical Fenrir A2 units in the selected colorway, enabling squad displays, kitbashing, or spare parts for customization. 42-Point Articulation with POM Joints: Durable polyoxymethylene joints throughout provide smooth, tight movement - arm swing exceeds 180 degrees, knee bend reaches 150 degrees, elbow bend reaches 135 degrees, and waist side-tilt approaches 90 degrees. Weapon Loadout: Each unit includes four guns (with linkable rifle magazines), one dagger, and four weapon mount connectors for hardpoint storage across the body. Four Interchangeable Hand Types: Open palm, grip, fist, and flat/barrier hands included per unit for a wide range of posing options. 3mm Universal Connection Ports: Standard 3mm hardpoints distributed across the body enable compatibility with 30MM, MSG, and other popular aftermarket accessory lines. Hidden Gate Mark Design: Many parts feature single gate points placed at connection seams, minimizing visible nub marks without additional cleanup. Builder Context The Fenrir A2 is designed for absolute beginners and assembles in approximately three minutes with snap-fit construction requiring no tools, adhesives, or painting. The 3mm port system and compact form factor also make it a strong customization base for experienced builders familiar with Bandai's 30 Minutes Missions line or Kotobukiya's MSG accessories. Why Build This Kit The Sheik Mainland 3MIN Project-A Fenrir A2 is the most accessible entry point into the third-party mecha kit category, with a sub-$30 price point that includes two complete units per box. Its 42-point POM articulation system delivers joint ranges that rival Bandai's RG line despite the kit's compact 11 cm height, making it one of the highest articulation-to-size ratios available in any current model kit. The 3mm universal hardpoints make every Fenrir A2 immediately compatible with 30MM and MSG weapon and armor accessories, which means builders can start customizing without committing to a more expensive or complex kit first. At roughly the same price as a single Bandai HG kit, the two-unit box format gives the Fenrir A2 a value proposition that no other 1/18 mecha kit currently matches in the North American market. Box Contents Fenrir A2 Standard Type model kit x 2 Guns x 4 (per unit, with linkable rifle magazines) Dagger x 1 (per unit) Weapon mount connectors x 4 (per unit) Interchangeable hands x 4 types (per unit): open palm, grip, fist, flat/barrier Display stand Assembly instructions Specifications Series 3MIN Project-A Scale 1/18 Height Approx. 11 cm (4.33 in) Material ABS, POM (joints) Articulation 42 points Compatibility 3mm connection ports (30MM, MSG compatible) Available Colorways Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Limited Metallic Black Manufacturer Sheik Mainland Country of Origin China Age Recommendation 15+
[PREORDER] Earnestcore Craft x Howling Star CZ-011B Kishin Colada Cenozoicera Blade A-Type Model Kit
Howling Star
$120.00 $115.00Overview The Earnestcore Craft x Howling Star CZ-011B Kishin Colada is a partially pre-painted plastic model kit from the Daiblos Core series, based on the mobile game that is widely popular in China. This collaboration between Chinese hobby manufacturer Earnestcore Craft and game developer Howling Star delivers a knight-type mecha design with over 950 parts, 11 independent LED lighting units, and a dual-mode armor system that switches between ranged and close-combat configurations. The kit is distributed in North America by Kotobukiya. Key Features Dual Combat Modes: The "Oath" Detachable Weapon System allows Colada to switch between Assault Mode (high-mobility ranged firepower) and Melee Mode (close-range weapon configuration) 11 Independent LED Units: Built-in lighting across the mecha frame, with some units pre-assembled (9x CR425 stick batteries and 2x CR1632 button batteries required, sold separately) Over 950 Parts: Highly detailed construction using PS, ABS, PC (clear parts), PA (internal frame), and POM materials Partially Pre-Painted: Select armor panels feature factory-applied paint, plus included gold marking stickers for a display-ready finish with assembly alone Massive Weapon Arsenal: Includes shoulder energy cannons, missile pods, shield light sabers, composite greatswords, autonomous spike blades, guerilla javelins, and a core lance Commanding Display Presence: Model stands approximately 160mm tall at the mecha body, expanding to 350mm height with the full equipment and base, and 500mm in length with effect parts deployed Builder Context The Kishin Colada is an advanced-level build with 40 runners and over 950 parts, suited for experienced modelers comfortable with high part counts and multi-material assembly. The kit uses snap-fit construction with pre-painted elements and pre-assembled LED modules, which simplifies the lighting installation considerably. At 160mm, the main body sits between HG and MG Gundam kits in physical size, but the full Oath Armament System pushes the completed display well beyond anything in that range. Some joints require firm pressure during assembly - sanding or applying vaseline to tight-fitting pegs is recommended. The kit includes assembly assist tools in the box, similar to those found in the Rosado Project Starflower Lily MK3 from the same manufacturer. Why Build This Kit The Earnestcore Craft x Howling Star CZ-011B Kishin Colada stands apart from the current wave of Chinese third-party mecha kits by focusing almost entirely on external armament play value rather than complex inner frame engineering or xianxia-themed design. The "Oath" Armament System functions as a modular vest-like exoskeleton that transforms the 160mm base mecha into a 350mm-tall, 500mm-long display piece with individually openable missile pod doors, linked mechanical claw arms with palm cannons, deployable spike blades on bendable wire cables with burst effect parts, and a 260mm core lance that expands into a full ceremonial weapon array. All 11 LED units come pre-assembled as modules with mechanical activation triggers - opening a cover panel, sliding a claw forward, or pressing a cross-shaped switch - rather than requiring manual wiring, which makes the lighting system accessible to builders who have never worked with electronics in a kit before. The combination of 40 runners, linked armor gimmicks with spring-loaded clearance mechanisms, and multi-mode weapon configurations places this kit's play value closer to high-end Kotobukiya Hexa Gear releases than to typical Chinese mecha kits in its price range. Builders should plan for battery purchases separately: 11 total batteries are required (CR425 stick-type and CR1632 button-type), and a red fuel tank replacement part is included for any lighting positions where batteries are not installed. Box Contents Colada model x1 Oath Detachable Weapon System complete set: Shoulder energy cannons x2 Micro high-explosive missile pods x4 Shield light sabers x2 Type-10 composite greatswords x2 Autonomous spike blades x6 Guerilla javelins x6 Core lance x1 Sword hilt parts x3 sets Hand parts (for modeling) x3 sets Effect parts for spike blades (with cable) x6 Effect parts for light sabers x2 Joint parts x1 Gold marking stickers Dedicated display base x1 Specifications Brand Earnestcore Craft x Howling Star Series Daiblos Core Model CZ-011B Kishin Colada - Cenozoicera Blade A-Type Product Code GN193 Model Height Approx. 160mm Height Fully Equipped (with base) Approx. 350mm (13.78") Length Fully Equipped (with effect parts) Approx. 500mm (19.69") Part Count Over 950 Materials PS, ABS, PC, PA, POM LED Units 11 independent units (batteries sold separately) Pre-Painted Partially pre-painted Distributor Kotobukiya Age Rating 15+ Preorder Notice:This item is currently on preorder and will be shipped once available.

Motor Nuclear MNP-CR02A Type-65 JiHu-II Assault Ver. Model Kit
Motor Nuclear
$100.00Official 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. Motor Nuclear MNP-CR02A Type-65 JiHu-II Assault Ver. Model Kit The Motor Nuclear MNP-CR02A Type-65 JiHu-II (Assault Ver.) is a 1/48 scale mecha model kit from the Blazing Stars sub-line within Motor Nuclear's Legend of Star General series. Built around a full die-cast alloy inner frame, the JiHu-II is a land warfare assault mecha drawing its design language from modern tanks and armored vehicles - riveted armor plates, lifting lugs, tread-equipped feet, and a green military color scheme with gradient depth. Motor Nuclear's Blazing Stars (CR) line focuses on military-styled mecha units distinct from the mythology-driven XH character kits, and the JiHu-II is one of the most anticipated entries in the series. Key Features Full Die-Cast Alloy Inner Frame: Complete metal skeleton comes partially pre-assembled, providing weight, rigidity, and stable posing for an imposing display presence 30+ Point Deployable Armor System: Outer armor panels open independently across the entire body to reveal internal mechanical structures, simulating a maintenance/overhaul mode with linked mechanical movement Massive Weapon Arsenal: Automatic rifle with detachable magazines, concealed forearm grenades, thigh-mounted daggers, two grenade launchers (standard and revolver-type with swing-out cylinder), missile pod with linked deployment, a Chinese-style halberd, shield with sliding armor panels, and two back-mounted mechanical arms for ammunition transfer Dual Interchangeable Heads: Standard twin-eye head and mono-eye head with optional face mask attachment, each with distinct antenna configurations 663 Parts Across 34 Runners: Approximately 600 pre-painted parts with optimized runner layout for an improved build experience over previous Motor Nuclear releases LED-Ready Construction: Pre-cut slots at the chest, eyes, and cockpit for aftermarket LED installation (LEDs not included) 1/48 Scale Pilot Figure and Display Base: Includes a buildable pilot figure with two head options and a standard display base Builder Context The JiHu-II Assault Ver. is an intermediate-level kit suited for builders with at least a few snap-fit kits under their belt. Assembly is snap-fit with pre-colored parts and does not require cement or painting for a complete look, though panel lining and topcoating will bring out the military surface detail. The alloy inner frame arrives partially pre-assembled. At 663 parts across 34 runners, build complexity exceeds most Bandai MG kits and is comparable to a large Real Grade in terms of part density, with the added step of integrating die-cast frame components. Water slide decals are included for final detailing. Why Build This Kit The Motor Nuclear MNP-CR02A JiHu-II Assault Ver. is the most weapon-dense kit in the Blazing Stars line, with over ten distinct armaments that store, mount, and combine across the frame in ways that reward posing experimentation. The 30+ point deployable armor system sets it apart from other kits at this price point - no other sub-$110 mecha kit from any manufacturer currently offers a full-body maintenance mode reveal. At 22.5 cm and 1/48 scale with a full alloy frame, the JiHu-II has noticeably more heft and shelf presence than a Bandai MG of similar height, and the military-realist design language appeals to builders who find Gundam aesthetics too anime-styled. Motor Nuclear's runner layout and undergating have improved significantly with this release compared to earlier Legend of Star General kits, making it a reasonable entry point into the brand for builders comfortable with RG-grade Bandai kits. Builders should note that Motor Nuclear parts are known for sharp edges due to precise mold tolerances - side cutters and light sanding are recommended, and the alloy frame joints may need minor adjustment for optimal tension. Box Contents 34 runners (approximately 600 pre-painted parts, 663 total) Die-cast alloy inner frame components (partially pre-assembled) Standard twin-eye head Mono-eye head with optional face mask Automatic rifle with detachable magazines 2 x concealed forearm grenades 2 x thigh-mounted daggers Standard grenade launcher Revolver-type grenade launcher with swing-out cylinder Missile pod with linked deployment mechanism Chinese-style halberd Shield with sliding armor panels 2 x back-mounted mechanical arms Rear skirt ammo resupply rack with 4 removable magazines Interchangeable hand parts 1/48 scale pilot figure (2 head options) Display base Water slide decals Assembly instructions Specifications Series Legend of Star General - Blazing Stars Manufacturer Motor Nuclear Model Code MNP-CR02A Designation Type-65 JiHu-II (Assault Ver.)

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.
