Eddas 1/100 Nomes

Eddas has been consistently improving the quality of its model kit lineup, and its latest release is the 1/100 Nomes, a tactical urban combat mecha featuring a die-cast inner frame. Scheduled for release in Q3 2026, the kit is priced at 168 RMB.

In terms of design and loadout, Nomes appears to be a relatively lightly armored machine specializing in rapid assault and urban operations. Its armament is centered around lightweight firearms, with a submachine gun serving as its primary weapon, while a shoulder-mounted cannon provides additional firepower when heavier targets need to be dealt with. Overall, Nomes gives the impression of what an urban warfare counterpart to the Jesta might look like—agile, tactical, and purpose-built for close-quarters engagements rather than frontline slugging matches.

Despite its appealing design, the pricing may prove to be a tougher sell for overseas collectors. With the appreciation of the Chinese yuan in recent months, the overseas SRP rate feels less competitive than it once would have. Compared to Eddas' previously released Asgard—another die-cast frame real robot kit packed with weapons and equipment—Nomes offers a lighter loadout while costing slightly more. Even so, for collectors who appreciate modern tactical mecha designs over heavily armed super prototypes, Nomes still stands out as one of Eddas' more distinctive releases to date.
