SNAA has become one of the hottest names in the Chinese model kit scene over the past few years, particularly with its Knight Mecha lineup. While the company isn't as well known for its 1/100-scale model kits, it has released several in this scale, including the recent Nether Emperor. A few months ago, SNAA announced an upgraded Full Armor version of the Nether Emperor, scheduled for release in Q3 2026 at 168 RMB.
In essence, Nether Emperor FA feels like a top-tier showcase of SNAA's Knight Mecha specialty. It is essentially what you would get if Vilkiss from Cross Ange received a Full Armor treatment, with aesthetics that also remind me of the Full Armor Crossbone Gundam X-1. The machine is armed to the teeth and capable of both melee and ranged combat, but it is clearly designed as a melee monster. It carries an absurd amount of weaponry, giving it plenty of options to stay in the fight and wreak havoc on the battlefield.
I've only picked up Fire Lord from SNAA so far, and despite my decision to stay away from model kits for a while because of my ever-growing backlog, the Nether Emperor FA might be another one I end up making an exception for. It is simply too good a showcase of what SNAA does best to ignore.
