June 2025 Loot

 
 It is the end of the month, managing to score Hat Trick for a full month activity and time for some loot Post! Not particularly flashy compared to the hauls from past 3 months but still a very solid overall hauls. As usual it is a mix of Mecha, Warhammer 40k and some Mecha musume stuff. 

This haul is mostly dominated by Chinese loots but by this time you won't really notice the difference in packaging quality which is a proof how developed Chinese Hobby industry by this time. The best of the haul is easily the Degenerator Industry B'T X which look promising indeed. But my personal favorite will be Earnestcore Anubis and Cang Toys Samael, seriously the Cang Toys Zodiac series do look really promising. 

As for Warhammer 40k, finally I decided to obtain a Tempestor for relatively affordable price to command my Tempestus Scion Squad along with Custodes Terminator. I never expect myself to consider expanding my Custodes squad but I am considering to do so due to their recent entry to Warhammer Tacticus. Overall a solid haul but I will consider to seriously cut down my collection for anime figurines that are not related to FGO or Mecha in the future.

Takara Tomy T-Spark Altered Nano 1/18 AN-EX Alt Frigate & AA-Cavall Set

 
 Out of Takara Tomy factory, a truly rare collaboration between Yoji Shinkawa of Kojima Production and Shinji Aramaki bore a very interesting 1/18 Scale Sci-Fi Toy product. Both designers are well known veterans in Mecha design and Altered Nano is the result of the synthesis of these Two mecha veterans mastercraft! Scheduled for November 2025 release, the first of Altered Nano lineup called Alt Frigate and AA-Cavall will be sold for 13000 Yen SRP.

Megalomaria Unlimited Universe Zirconia

 
 Kotobukiya Megalomaria features Humanoid model kits that blurs the line between a Human and Android and the lineup got another product that catches my attention. To me Megalomaria ventures slightly further into Uncanny valley when it comes proportion which makes it distinct to Kotobukiya's mainline Megami Device and Frame Arms Girl. This time they make something called a Zirconia that appears to be Pale White young adult male figure that caught my attention for many reasons. Scheduled for November 2025 release, Megalomaria Zirconia will be sold for 6500 Yen.

Compared to Ghillie Due, Zirconia comes with barebone equipment, mainly having Skeletal armor structure and an Arm blade as its equipment. The value of this product lies in its Protagonist Aura since appearance-wise Zirconia really resembles Raiden from Metal Gear Solid on first glance. With some suitable extra accessories, you got yourself a Cyborg Ninja in action again. Personally I would see the value of Megalomaria Zirconia could be enchanced even further if Kotobukiya consider making some dedicated accessories for this fellow in near future.

Nokia N-Gage Ashen

 
 Nokia N-Gage introduced me to many game genres and FPS is one of them. I got a taste of FPS through Call of Duty Mobile and Ashen, the latter was abit special. Among the limited N-Gage Library, Ashen is quite a special one being a Survival Horror. N-Gage do have some dark fantasy game in its library like Requiem of Hell, but Ashen is the one that truly embrace the horror vibe, In essence it is a Mobile Doom Shooter game.

In Ashen you play as a character who tried to save his Sister in a City that suddenly infested with mysterious energy emitting Black horror creatures after a particular otherwordly experiments go wrong. Split over several stages, the player explore the city turned into Hellscape in Ashen with assorted weapon selections similar to Doom. When I was at High School, I do feel the horror vibe from Ashen as you have to fight against hellish creatures with limited ammo that are carried out through the stages and you will have hard time on certain parts if you run low on ammo for the best weapons. I also remembered quite well that I used a particular Yellow Orb gun as my main weapon since it has regenerating ammo. Lastly the environment designs in Ashen is heavily similar with House of the Dead 2 with its Rustic Europe Canal City which probably help in making a lasting impression not to mention a sprinkle of Lovecraftian horror incorporated in this game in particular Mountain of Madness. 

By present standard, Ashen doesn't seem to be anything special. But for mobile game in mid 2000s, the Quality graphic was ahead of its time and the FPS experience is rather decent. If you like Horror shooters like Doom and wished to give N-Gage a try, Ashen would be a decent choice for your game library.

Moshow Progenitor Effect 1/72 Lancelot of the Lake Review

 
 It has been quite sometime since I reviewed some higher end stuff from my collection and might as well use this opportunity to review one of my Big ticket collection. This time I proudly present Moshow 1/72 Lancelot! This is my first ever Moshow Diecast Toy that I got into and as expected the value doesn't disappoint for its price point! Even so considering I usually only collect 1/100 Scale mecha, Moshow 1/72 Lancelot is rather stands out in my collection but I will allow an exception for this fellow since it is a very good Fantasy Mecha design.

Considering Moshow released 1/100 Diecast Lineup, It is rather unlikely for me to obtain any more 1/72 Scale Progenitor. It is just a matter of preference since value-wise Moshow Diecast are no inferior compared to Metal Build despite proportionally cheaper.

30 Minutes Fantasy - Dragonia Lord

 After a series of classic JRPG class, 30 Minutes Fantasy ventured on Special Class! This time they brought something that is closer too monster class yet still a cool one. After Liber/Rosan Wizard, 30 Minutes Fantasy introduce Dragonia Knight class which is akin to Lizardman/Dragonborn fighter along with Dragonia Lord Class Up item. Scheduled for November 2025 release 30 Minutes Fantasy Dragonia Knight and Class Up Dragonia Lord will be sold for 2500 and 1000 Yen respectively.

 Armed with massive cleaver and 2 handed sword, on first glance Dragonia Knight looks like a Lizardman Fighter with a touch of Berserker class which gives Neutral/Evil vibe. But this 30 MF model kit still mostly leans on the Neutral side especially when using Dragonia Lord Class Up item. The Dragonia Knight might look like a grunt level unit but the makeover from Dragonia Lord truly gives a presence that cannot be ignored. I am quite sure Bandai could make a Good/Evil variant out of this 30 MF class and might consider add some bulk as well in the process.

Bloodstained - The Scarlet Engagement announcement

 
 It has been like 6 years since Bloodstained Ritual of the Night got released and Koji Igarashi decided he still got the game and decided to make a sequel! Dubbed as Bloodstained The Scarlet Engagement, this Igavania will be released on 2026 with Multiplatform release on Modern consoles and PC, No Nintendo Switch 2 yet but I reckon the likelihood will be still high considering Ritual of the Moon got Switch Physical release. 

From what has been revealed so far, Scarlet Engagement will take on a century before Ritual of the Moon thus serving as some sort of prequel. But what stands out for me from this Bloodstained is the return Dual character tag team gameplay which is from Portrait of Ruins. This is quite big deal for me because among Nintendo DS Igavania, Portrait of Ruin had the best gameplay experience for me. 

To me, Bloodstained Ritual of the Moon is not exactly the best ever Metroidvania game but it is decent enough to satiate the thirst for Igavania and sufficient to make me invest my attention toward this particular Sequel. Hopefully Koji Igarashi will deliver a good Igavania experience with Scarlet Engagement and if things go well, we could still expect a 3rd Bloodstained main series in the future.

Soulingtoys 1/12 Daytime Meteor

 
 I thought Chinese mecha musume lineup are impressive enough with manufacturers like MS General or Nuke Matrix. But another manufacturer called Soulingtoys come to join into the fray and chip in their new designs which is Mecha Musumes with Dragon mount. Dubbed as Daytime Meteor, this mecha musume will be sold for 288 RMB with Q3 release schedule.

Back then we did have some Chinese Mecha Musumes with Dragon like the Xiwanshe's but for once we got something more like western traditional dragon. As a mecha fan, The selling point of this Daybreak Meteor is due to its perfect replication of BT'X vibe featuring female knight with her majestic dragon mount. Seriously ever since the 70cm Dragon Model kit, Chinese hobby manufacturers do keep to try one-upping themselves like this Daybreak Meteor. While the mecha musume unit in this model kit doesn't really look particularly special, the Dragon model kit will look quite well to complement with another Mecha musume like Animester Galahad. I am quite sure that there are markets for Mecha Musume animal mount that Chinese Manufacturer could try to fill in the demand gap, since millenials collectors like myself would love to still have something to fill in the BT'X nostalgia vibe.

Nikke Hyper Body Cinderella

 
 It is undeniable that Nikke Merchandising team is one of the best in Gacha game department and they surprise their fans once again with Hyper Body Cinderella! Less than a year since her debut as Nikke's 2nd Anniv featured SSR character, Cinderella made it as Hyper Body action figure! She is truly getting some preferential treatment as the main heroine, Rapi herself haven't got one. Scheduled for July 2026, Hyper Body Cinderella will be sold for 18500 Yen SRP.

For almost 20000 Yen price tag, Hyper Body Cinderella is armed to the deck compared to another Nikkes from similar lineup, considering she is one of the most powerful Nikke being a former heretic after all who reformed due to main character's charm. In Nikke, Cinderella is a Rocket Launcher type Nikke who fires barrages of Missile through her shield like contraption and one of the meta Nikkes upon release. 

Given my exposure to Nikke series, I have been considering to get at least 5 Nikkes action figures as part of my Nikke roster collection. Cinderella would have been a very good candidate if not for me giving up on Nikke due to her Banner despite I still got a copy in the end. Not exactly her fault, but I just simply unwilling to put up with what Nikke have to offer with their rates. Will still look forward to Scarlet Black Shadow and D Killer wife along with other Nikke candidate though

Sembo Blocks Wandering Earth series Part 2

 After I covered the first part of Sembo Wandering Earth series Brick Models, It is time for me to continue onto the second part of this series which is kinda long due. This follow up post shouldn't have taken this long but I guess real life priorities did make it overlook this one.

I am not sure which Wandering Earth series this particular Brick Model lineup belong to since Wandering Earth 2 does not appear to have this sort of design. But the Mecha designs from this lineup is interesting enough for me to deep dive into Wandering series. The mecha that caught my attention the most is definitely this Bipedal Walker Mecha on this cover page which is called White Death God which just scream Warhammer 40k Tau's Stormsurge Battlesuit. 

I could have included the lineups in the first Sembo's Wandering Earth series. But given the stark difference in design philosophy as this one fully featured Futuristic Military Tank weapons while the First Wandering Earth is more like Planetary exploration stuff. Personally I am do curious with the thought process from Wandering Earth creator on how Space Travel Scifi series transition into Mecha action stuff which perhaps future Wandering Earth 3 could provide an answer for. 

In this Sembo's Part 2 Wandering Earth Brick Model series, I will included the chinese name for all of the Seven lineups if anyone wish to personally dig more information of the series even further. 

Revisiting Jigoku Sensei Nube

With the recent Jigoku Sensei Nube anime remake, I decided to pay a visit to one of my favorite Shonen manga in my teenage years once again after putting the series into backburner for so long. Despite Hell Teacher Nube being one of my favorite Shonen manga at some point as I owed my fascination toward Youkai genre through this series, I never really did complete reading for this series, considering Jigoku Sensei Nube fan translation back then did stuck around 50% for quite some time.

But over past few years Nube’s fan translation do reach around 75% and it is more than enough to allow for a complete reading experience of the series for me. As I did have physical copies to complement the gap for the current missing chapters from Online translation. Given that my old article for Jigoku Sensei Nube in this blog was written when I was about halfway through the series. In this opportunity I would like to write a full-fledged article with broader perspective as a proper homage to Jigoku Sensei Nube after I did a complete revisit.

Sluban Super Mecha Champions Qbricks Group Shots

 
 A very short review this week just to wrap up the last bit of my SMC Qbricks Review with the Group Shots as the final part. Might as well post these materials instead of them going to waste and maybe a reminder to keep spiting Netease in the process. With this, I am more at peace before moving onto Mecha Break which apparently will make it this year. This is as far as I go for SMC Qbricks, perhaps there will be other collectors who can give full coverage of this lineup.

Final Fight ONE

 
 Final Fight being one of the popular Capcom beat em up that literally being the pioneer of this genre obviously had received many ports whether dedicated for TV or Portable consoles and I do have my share of the versions that I have played. But among the many Final Fight ports, one that truly stood out for me is this games port for Gameboy Advance called Final Fight One.

Compared to the PSP and Switch Final Fight port, Final Fight One features more home console experience of this classic Capcom Beat em Up. Final Fight One is given overall QoL upgrade treatment like additional anime style presentation. On top of that, Final Fight One is the only Final Fight game that I ever came across that features some sort of progression which offer unlockables that encourage players to keep playing the game. But the best thing that come out of this GBA Final Fight is having Street Fighter Alpha version of Guy and Cody as unlockables. Final Fight One QoL upgrades are overall quite pleasant, but having the Street Fighter rendition of the main characters as Power Up is overall very fun experience. My favorite character in Final Fight One is obviously SF Alpha Guy and this game contribute alot for my fascination toward the character. But I do have my equal fun in Piledriving the thugs with Haggar. Seriously if you are Beat em Up fan especially Capcom's, consider pay a visit of this GBA port of Final Fight.

Diaclone Transformers x Zoids Synergenex Shield D Prime

 As a collector have you ever curious what happen if Takara toys lineup ever had any crossover which resulted in a High end collector item? Takara recently obliged to humor the idea by presenting Synergenex Shield D Prime! What appears as the hybrid of Transformers Optimus Prime and  Zoids Shield Liger is a High End Diaclone product that unifies Three of Takara Tomy popular mecha toy product. Scheduled for February 2026 release, Synergenex Shield D Prime will be sold for 38500 Yen Price tag.

Pacific Rim Infinity Studio Heavy Mecha Gipsy Danger

 

After Crimson Typhoon and Cherno Alpha, this year Infinity Studio finally releasing Preorders for Pacific Rim Poster Boy, Gipsy Danger! This would be the second time that Gipsy Danger released in its Diecast glory after Bandai Soul of Chogokin which for some reason decided not to continue. Scheduled for Q4 2025 release, Heavy Mecha Gipsy Danger will be sold for 1380 RMB Price tag.

Shining Soul 2

 
 Gameboy Advance are quite well known for its superb RPG Library, but not many notice that this platform also got some great Action RPG. Introducing Shining Soul 2! the second iteration of Sega's Action RPG on GBA loosely based on Shining series. This is one of the few Isometric action RPG game that ever hailed into RPG and when it comes to gameplay, had to be the best one even compared to Square Enix Sword of Mana.

Char's Counterattack Megahouse GGG 1/8 Char Aznable

 
 With Char's Counterattack version of Amuro Ray released as Scale figure by Megahouse couple years ago, It is a matter of time that Char Aznable followed up in his CCA getup soon or later and Megahouse decide that the time is now! Having Char Aznable available in his OYW and Zeta Gundam era, now Char Aznable is in his complete circle with his CCA version. Scheduled for November 2025. Char's Counterattack GGG Char Aznable will be sold for 23000 Yen SRP.

 One thing that I just noticed from this figure rendition of CCA Char Aznable is his ceremonial sword which seem to be a focal point of this scale figure, As it does amplify the presence of Char as Neo Zeon supreme figure of authority apart from being a Charismatic figure in his prime. Since I already picked GGG Quattro Bajeena, I won't be interested to get this figure but I do hope GMG lineup will try to extend to this particular universal century timeline.

With my recent encounter with Gquux take on Char, I came upon realization that Char Aznable archetype is no different than Emiya Shirou from Fate series as his path diverged into three branches like Shirou had. If Gquux Char appear to represent Heaven's Feel and Quattro as UBW, then CCA Char represents his his Fate route. This comparison appears in relation with how Char's attachment toward his father, Zeon Zum Deikun's Ideal just like Shirou inherit "Seigi no Mikata" aspiration from Kiritsugu. I might write an extensive Mechatalk article of this particular analogy for Char once I take a good look with GQuux.

MOSHOW Progenitor Effect 1/72 Lancelot of the Lake - Knight of Ash

 Couple months ago, Moshow returns with a new variant for their 1/72 Progenitor Effect Lancelot! Being a popular design of Medieval Knight mecha, obviously It would be a waste for Moshow to let this cool mecha to waste and they reciprocate the sentiment by releasing an alternate version dubbed Knight of Ash. Scheduled for Q3 2025 release, Progenitor Effect 1/72 Lancelot Knight of Ash are sold for 880 RMB Price tag.

Arknights Taito Coreful Chen Swimsuit ver Prize Figure review

 Arknights Prize figure are not exactly common and even more so for popular 6* OP waifu characters. However with some strange turn of event, Chen got some prize figure treatment by Taito. Based on her Female Tourist C design instead of her Alter Sniper class, Taito Coreful lineup is one of the most affordable version of Chen figurine available in the market. 

Personally, I prefer this type of Prize figure for Arknights despite this particular series tend to get the Noodle Stopper variant and Amiya summer version also available in this Taito Coreful rendition. Overall Taito Coreful Chen solid value for money figurine, only wished that we could have more of these affordable Arknights prize figure despite we will probably more likely getting the semi-affordable variants from Myethos. In any case, nothing can go wrong from obtaining this Chen's Prize figure as part of your collection as Arknights fans.

Transformers Blokees Defender Devastator

 Well, one of the most anticipated Blokees Transformers product for Devastator has finally arrived around last month! Coming as Combiner parts for existing produk lineup, one of the most imposing Decepticon combiners made it in Blokees Defenders lineup. Devastator might come in the smallest current Blokees Transformers product, but it still comes in the size that demands respect and fear for its stature. At the moment Blokees Devastator Combiner parts is only available in Mainland China as Blokees Club where collectors apparently obtain one by showing proof of their collection. This combiner parts apparently priced in 39 RMB SRP which is actually quite a steal.

Wizardry: The Five Ordeals

 Ever since I took my departure from Wizardry Daphne as I believe Drecom no longer fit to be the one in charge of Wizardry series Legacy, I have been searching many substitute Wizardry clones DRPG candidates. This is not exactly difficult thing given the immense influence of Wizardry series in Japanese game industries and Nintendo Switch is blessed with tons of DRPG titles both new and remaster. One of the game that I come across obviously a Wizardry series called Five Ordeals which have been getting remaster few years ago only to make it as Switch Port around 2024 with translation came up couple months ago.

Wizardry Five Ordeals is one of the two available Wizardry series apart from Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord and available in Physical Copy with English Language option. For 40 USD SRP which is equivalent to Wizardry Daphne Gacha currency for a single 10-Pulls, you got yourself a Wizardry game that have 5 main Scenario modules to play with and 2 additional Scenario based on Wizardry Gaiden as DLC option. Apparently Wizardry Five Ordeals was available in PS2 before it gets remastered so we can expect somewhat decent production value that didn't aged too badly but still expect brutal Dungeon Crawling difficulty which is well known selling point of Wizardry Series. 

Each of the Wizardry Five Ordeals Scenarios could last up to 10-20 hours so expect overall more reliable mileage out of the money spent compared to spending it on a Gacha version of this series. In near future perhaps I could discuss DRPG series in regular basis considering I do have deep fascination for this genre probably due to being a Millenial.

Hexagear 1/24 V-Thors Air Assault Thunderstruck

 
 Kotobukiya returned again with another Kickass design for V-Thors! After making some Samurai variant last year, this time they are making an Aerial Heavy weapons version dubbed as Air Assault Thunderstruck. Scheduled for November 2025 release, Hexagear V-Thors Air Assault Thunderstruck will be sold for 10500 Yen SRP.

My first impression on V-Thors Air Assault is that it is Hexagear take on Dragonar 02 and elevate it even further with elements from other mechanical design. The Upper torso heavy style with Beetle Aesthetics also reminded me of designs like Digimon's Beetlemon and One-Punch Man Carnage Beetle, implying that this variants of V-Thors are relatively formidable in melee despite armed with Gatling gun as its main armament. I am quite sure that Kotobukiya will show some interesting melee configuration for V-Thors later on as this V-Thor's backpack got some gimmick as well. Personally I think Kotobukiya could reuse this particular version of V-Thors with Heavy Weapon configuration preferably with Military color scheme.

Warhammer 40k Joytoy 1/18 Blood Angels Predator Annihilator Tank

Nothing fancy compared to the Imperial Knights titan, but Joytoy is bringing out some new Big Guns for Warhammer 40k. This time Metal Bawkses are getting the 1/18 Rendition from Joytoy and the first Metal Bawkses to make it is Predator Annihilator and Blood Angels is the one getting the first honor for the Shiny new toys. Scheduled for November 2025 release, Joytoy Predator Annihilator Tank will be sold for 199 USD Price tag.

Art of Fighting 3: The Path of Warrior

 Discussing about KOF recently make me reminisce with particular SNK Fighting game title in arcade which I played as a kid called Art of Fighting 3: Path of Warrior. Art of Fighting or Ryuko no Ken in Japan was one of those spin-off Fighting games that SNK made during the heyday of Arcade era before they went all-in with King of Fighters. Art of Fighting series featured Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia as the main character throughout all of its 3 installments and added depth to the characters which was initially considered a clone character from Street Fighter series, ultimately succeeded granting the dignity that these characters deserved.

As a fighting game, Art of Fighting 3 might not make much of its mark in Arcade game scene being intended as experimentation subject by SNK. But what makes Art of Fighting 3 stood out among its predecessors and other fighting games was its unbelievably high-quality graphics for a 2D Fighting game. For a 1996 Fighting game, Art of Fighting 3 Sprites Quality was way ahead of its time whether it is the characters fluid animation or vibrant stages. The overall presentation quality of Art of Fighting 3 is top notch for sure easily able to last for a decade in this department, which is why I can still remember this game even if I was never good at fighting game as a Kid and I still remembered had hard time fighting Sinclair with her weapon cheat.

Art of Fighting 3: Path of Warrior might not offer particularly special fighting game experience but this game served as a perfect time capsule of Japanese Arcade game golden era where Developers were still able to put their utmost to bring a quality product in the bygone era.

JAKI Super Mecha Champions Brick Model

 I never thought I would revisit Super Mecha Champions this fast as I have worked with all of materials I had with this series. But a noteworthy occasion still deserve to be given a spotlight! SMC might be completely abandoned by Netease and forced to close down its service early this year, but It doesn't mean that Chinese Manufacturers will stop making any new products for this hidden gem of Mecha game. From my random browsing on reddit, I come across new brick model products for SMC Mecha and this time it is from a manufacturer called JAKI or 佳奇 and they make 2, not 1 awesome SMC Brick Model for SMC new and fancier Mecha skins!

Joytoy Warhammer 40k 1/18 First Founding Loyalist Space Marine review

 
 It has been quite sometime since the last review of Joytoy 40k stuff and might as well resume with something massive! Therefore I proudly present a group shot for First Founding Space Marine loyalists! This has been one of my pet project since I began collecting Joytoy 40k which I managed to complete within early 2024. Back then I took quite a bit group photoshot to show First Founding Battle brothers in action showing side by side which the end result proved to bring some personal satisfaction.

During the early glory days of Imperium of Man, there were 18 Space Marine chapters that is considered as First Founding as they are led directly by the Primarchs, 18 Sons of  Emperor Mankind. However due to some foolish transgression by certain Word Bearer POS, half of the First Founding ended up joining Chaos lead by Horus in the attempt to overthrow Imperium, resulting one of the most devastating event in the Imperium of Man known as Horus Heresy. While some of the First Founding fell to Chaos temptations, The remaining half of the First Founding Chapters remained loyal to the Imperium which are: Dark Angels, White Scars, Space Wolves, Imperial Fist, Blood Angels. Iron Hands, Ultramarines, Salamanders and Raven Guard.

As an enthusiastic 40k Fans who wants to support Joytoy 40k works, I decided to collect at least one representative for each Loyalist First Founding. IIRC my first Intercessor was an Ultrasmurf and concluded with Space Wolves. The candidates for my first founding Space Marine loyalists are a mix of generalist Intercessor type or Specialist representative of their respective chapter. This is the very least I could do even If I am unable to commit equally for each First founding. 

In near future, I will likely post some of my older Joytoy 40k Collections before I move on to newer photo collections

Frame Arms Girl Izumo Destroyer Version

 
 Kotobukiya have several Top Tier Mecha Musume designs but it is only recently that I noticed their battleship waifus based on their Frame Arms. After Kongou, Kotobukiya did release Izumo as Frame Arms Girl and recently they release 2nd iteration of Izumo, simply dubbed as Destroyer version. Scheduled for October 2025 release, Frame Arms Girl Izumo Destroyer version will be sold for 8800 Yen.

Compared to Izumo's previous iteration, FAG Izumo Destroyer version sports Darker armor color scheme and more Kuudere expression. As for the loadout, I think it still remains the same. On first glance, Izumo appears to be a Light Carrier variant of Shipgirl Mecha Musume in contrast with Kongou's Heavy Cruiser loadout. Just like her Frame Arms original counterpart, Izumo does have Ship mode even if it is not the exact gimmick of the mecha version. Ever since I fell into Mecha Musume rabbit hole, I do feel that heavily mechanised version of Ship Girl like Kotobukiya's Izumo do fall right into my Strike zone. IIRC Kotobukiya's Frame Arms only has Kongou and Izumo back then but I wouldn't mind to see new model for Ship based Frame Arms Girl while I am waiting for FAG Kongou rerun.

Shenma Model 1/100 FA Hyaku Shiki Kai Full Armor Golden Warrior

 
 Usually I don't cover 3rd Party Gundam Model kit out of respect for original manufacturer. But I will make an exception given that Bandai have no exact counterpart for my favorite Golden Boy! Ever since I got my copy of MRS FA Hyaku Shiki Kai last year, I still kept my options open for any better rendition for one of my favorite UC era MSV mobile suit and it seems a Chinese manufacturer called Shenma Model tried to fill in this demand capped. Dubbed as Full Armor Golden Warrior, Shenma Model released a 1/100 Diecast Frame Model Kit rendition for FA Hyaku Shiki, scheduled for July 2025 release this one will be sold for 258 RMB Price Tag.

For roughly a 1/4 fraction of MRS FA Hyaku Shiki SRP, Shenma Model offer a Model kit product akin to Master Grade Quality for FA Hyaku Shiki that comes with tons of additions over the original counterpart. Apart from the Diecast Frame, this version of FA Hyaku Shiki comes with LED Gimmick and more diverse selections of armaments like beam Katana and beefed up Mega Bazooka launcher that come with Grenade Launcher addons. But personally I am curious how the manufacturer will deal with the Gold plating color considering Bandai never managed to create satisfactory color palette for their Model kit despite their Action Figure with Gold color palette turned out fine.

Certainly this Chinese FA Hyaku Shiki Model kit will draw ire from Bandai, but it is partially the latters fault on the first place for sitting over top tier Mecha design and makes nothing out of it that a Chinese manufacturers decide to try make a product that could fill in the demand gap. While this version of FA Hyaku Shiki looks definitive enough, personally I don't mind another fantasy Rendition of this Golden boy since it still have plenty of quality from Knight of Gold to be brought out of. As usual I will leave the contents detail that a prospective buyer will get out of this Model kit.

Frame Arms Girl Hresvelgr Qipao version

 
 Hresvelgr has been one of the more popular Frame Arms Girl base design and considering Stylet got her casual version last year, there is no reason for Hresvelgr not getting one either! If Stylet got her alternate form in Summer version, Hresvelgr got herself a China dress version which is a complete different look with her mecha musume design. Scheduled for October 2025 release, Frame Arms Girl Qipao version will be sold for 8000 Yen SRP.

Compared to her regular counterpart, Frame Arms Girl Hresvelgr sports more cheerful appearance with slightly sadistic streak. For her main weapon, she comes with a Two Handed Sword that has multiple configurations and capable of pulling off some cool gimmicks with the right accessories. With her new design, Hresvelgr will pass off just fine as Fantasy mecha musume. Though I am personally quite curious why this version of Hresvelgr cost more than her armored cousin like Magatsuki. Nevertheless I do look forward what sort of alternate version that other mainline Frame Arms girl like Baselard or Gourai will have considering Hresvelgr had gotten one.

SAMG Miniforce Justice Titan Black Ver

 
 Another banger Robot Toy product from SAMG Miniforce Animation series! Originally coming in brighter color scheme and one of the Big Ticket item, The Miniforce Super Police Robot Justice Titan got a cool makeover in Black and Gold Color scheme which will confuse people whether this product is meant for Kids or Adult Collectors. Released around end 2024, this Deluxe Korean Robot Toy called Justice Titan was sold for 195000 Won SRP.
