3 Months ago we got ourselves trailer for the Yoroiden Samurai Trooper remake trailer by Sunrise and now we got ourselves the first model kit for the main character, Shakunetsu no Gai! Being the successor of Rekka no Ryo, Gai is the obvious choice indeed and for some reason his model kit joins in 30 Minutes Fantasy Lineup! Scheduled for March 2026 release, 30 MF Shakunetsu no Gai will be sold for 5000 Yen Price Tag.
30 MF Shakunetsu not Gai model kit comes with the armor gimmick just like the original Yoroiden toys had and the lineup seems to work as intended with relative less risk compared to Tamashi nation lineup for untested reboot. A minor nitpick however, the new rendition of Yoroiden doesn't seem to come with face mask for the helmet part which the old series had but we will see how the new anime turned out.
As someone who watched the old Yoroiden series, Shin Yoroiden doesn't seem to promising as reboot. Considering the overly modern character design rather clash with the traditional Samurai aesthetics. Shakunetsu no Gai wasn't too bad as Rekka no Ryo replacement but Kourin no Seiji replacement's character design is rather questionable. In any case while I will skip Rekka no Ryo since I already have both version of Rekka no Ryo, I might look forward for the Water and Earth Samurai counterpart in 30MF lineup.
