Another eyecatching Chinese Model Kit is here and this time it is from a manufacturer called Qianqiushang! Dubbed as Genesis of Stars lineup, this particular Model kit is named after constellation, Alkaid and comes with several versions. Scheduled for Q3 2025 release, 1/100 Alkaid will be available in Basic, Standard and Pro version with the price tag of 188, 238 and 338 RMB respectively.
From what it appears, the more expensive version features better Hangar Base and more elaborate LED parts which are not exactly a big dealbreaker because the core version has plenty of interesting gimmick in the first place. Given Chinese model kit still heavily inspired by Gundam, Alkaid is pretty much heavily derived from 00 Quanta with heavy influence by Astray Blue Frame. The backpack unit of Alkaid is the one that contribute the largest selling point of this product being a multipurpose weapon that can turn into Gun Drones or Large Energy Sword for some obligatory Obari poses. As for the manufacturer Qianqiushang itself, from the track record that I can check, they produce weapon accessories for 1/100 Gunpla Model kit which is why the Weapons of their model kit do stand out after all. Lets see if they can come up with another product for their constellation lineup.
