Overview

The Xinshi Hobby MSX007 Metal Slug X Vehicle Model Kit Set is an officially licensed SNK collection of six injection-plastic vehicle kits based on the classic 1999 arcade run-and-gun shooter Metal Slug X. Each vehicle is a snap-fit assembly kit that builds in minutes, with both sticker and waterslide decals included for game-accurate detailing. Xinshi Hobby (also known as Xinshi Model) is a Chinese manufacturer specializing in licensed video game model kits, and this was their debut product line.

Key Features

• Officially Licensed by SNK - Authorized Metal Slug X vehicle reproductions with game-accurate proportions and detailing
• Six Vehicles Plus Bonus Seventh Build - Each of the six boxes contains bonus parts that combine to form a seventh vehicle, the Space Tank
• Snap-Fit ABS Construction - No adhesive required, with minimal runner counts that allow each vehicle to be completed in minutes
• Dual Decal Options - Both sticker decals and waterslide decals included in every box, giving builders flexibility in finishing
• PVC Mini Figures - Each box includes one soft rubber character figure, covering both protagonists (Marco and Tarma), enemy soldiers, a POW prisoner, and General Morden
• Functional Details - Select vehicles feature articulated elements including rotating turret guns on the SV-001 and spinning undercarriage wheels on the Slug Flyer

Builder Context

This set is suited for all skill levels, including complete beginners and younger builders. Each vehicle assembles from a small number of parts with snap-fit connections and no cement required. The entire six-vehicle set can be completed in roughly one hour. The PVC mini figures are molded in a single color and will benefit from painting for game-accurate appearance, but this is optional.

Why Build This Kit

The Xinshi Hobby Metal Slug X Vehicle Set is currently the only officially licensed model kit collection covering the iconic vehicles from Metal Slug X, making it the default option for fans who want physical representations of these arcade-era designs on their shelf. The set includes seven vehicles for the price of six - bonus parts distributed across all six boxes combine to form the Space Tank, rewarding buyers who pick up the complete collection. At approximately 3 inches per vehicle, the finished builds are compact enough to display as a group on a single shelf or desk without requiring significant space. Unlike mecha model kits that demand hours of construction, each vehicle here builds in under 15 minutes from minimal runners, which makes this set better suited to collectors and retro gaming fans than to builders looking for a complex construction project. The mini figures are a meaningful inclusion for display purposes, but they are unpainted single-color PVC - builders who want game-accurate characters will need to hand-paint them.
