If any kits in this post are backordered when you read this, don’t worry — Bandai is great about restocking periodically. But, you’ll want to get your order in to secure a spot in line for the next restock!
Macross
This plastic model of the fighter’s “face” features highly detailed recreations of the cockpit and landing gear, and comes with pre-painted parts and stickers to recreate its design from the movie. The model can be displayed with character plastic models in the same scale for an even more impressive display.
The series of highly collectible 1/20 scale Valkyrie plastic models, the largest scale in the history of Macross plastic models, continues with the fighter nose from Alto’s Durandal Valkyrie!
Gattai
Aoshima continues its “Gattai” lineup with this model kit of Gattai Musashi, the robot formed from Gattai Yamato’s bridge, together with a kit to build his beautiful female companion Jinguji Nagisa! Gattai Musashi has been redesigned to be heavier and more massive than before; he sports a frame structure common to the series and extra joint parts, so you can replace and combine parts with ease. Gattai Musashi can be separated into four machines: Zet Machine, Cord Machine, Slide Machine and Bulldog Machine.
Muv-Luv
Shiranui Second Yuya Bridges Ki Ver.1.5
From “Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse”, Shiranui Second Yuya Bridges Ki Ver.1.5, the TSF piloted by protagonist and Second Lieutenant Yuya Bridges, rejoins Kotobukiya’s plastic model lineup with an updated form as a NON-scale model kit! The monochromatic coloration is striking and sharp decals are included. The chest parts have been changed to match the Shiranui Type 1 for a wider range of movement, allowing for more dynamic posing. The Assault Cannon has two magazines that can be removed and assembled into a Support Assault Cannon.
F-22A Raptor Infinities (Reissue)
Kotobukiya’s highly detailed model kit of the F-22A Raptor Infinities from “Muv-Luv Alternative” is back! Piloted by Leon Kuze, the Raptor Infinities has a legendary battle record. It’s molded in color, so you can get a result very close to the illustration simply by assembling. Two CIWS-1B daggers and four AMWS-21 main assault guns are included; the sensors in the middle of its back, crotch and knees are reproduced with clear parts. Interchangeable hands are included; slide joints in the shoulder armor make it possible to reproduce dynamic shooting poses!
1/144 F-15 ACTV Active Eagle (Muv-Luv) (Reissue)
Kotobukiya’s amazing model kit of the hardcore F-15 ACTV Active Eagle is back! As seen in “Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse,” this heavy-duty beast, piloted by Tarisa Manandal and Valerio Ziacoza, features forearm sensors, a newly designed head, and more powerful thrusters, but still retains the F-15-based look of the previous incarnation. Fully posable after assembly, this mech includes daggers and AMWS-21 assault cannons.
Mazinger
MODEROID Mazinkaiser SKL (Reissue)
From the plastic model series “MODEROID” comes a new entry in the “Mazinkaiser” universe: Mazinkaiser SKL! Based on a new product design from Mazinkaiser SKL designer Tsuyoshi Nonaka. Ganzanto and his Breast Trigger handguns are removable, and they can be combined to create the Fang Burst rifle. The wing parts include a brand new opening and closing feature.
30 Minutes Sisters

Here’s a set of summer-themed optional body parts for your 30MS (30Minutes Sisters) figure model kits from Bandai! These parts are equipped with the 3mm joint common to 30MS figures, so you can swap and exchange these parts with your 30MS figures to give them a refreshing new look for summertime!
30MS Optional Body Parts Arm Parts & Leg Parts [Color B]

Unpainted face parts are also included so you can create your own custom facial expressions.
SDW Heroes
The newest “SD Gundam” lineup has started: “SD Gundam World Heroes The Legend of Dragon Knight”! Leif Gundam is a new hero with a distinctive cloak and shoulder silhouette and a phantom prototype GP04 motif. His silhouette changes completely when you replace the cloak parts. In addition to the dedicated dagger, a shield for Night Strike Gundam is also included (part of the cloak can be attached to SDW Heroes Night Strike Gundam, sold separately).
The newest “SD Gundam” lineup has started: “SD Gundam World Heroes The Legend of Dragon Knight”! Following the motorbike and horse, here’s a dragon for a wide range of characters from the SD Gundam series to ride! With more than 12 points of articulation, he’s able to be an action-packed mount for characters from the SD W Heroes lineup, as well as the SD Sangoku Sojuden series.
