Japanese model kit manufacturer Kotobukiya has revealed a fully articulated plastic model kit of KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS mascot LUDENS on its official website. At the time of the announcement, preorders were scheduled to open on September 24 at 12:00 a.m. Taiwan time.
LUDENS is the official mascot of KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Kotobukiya previously released a Bishoujo-style model kit based on the character, while the prototype for this new version made its debut at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles this past July. Created to celebrate the studio’s 10th anniversary, the kit was developed under the full supervision of art director Yoji Shinkawa. Its sculpt faithfully recreates LUDENS’ rounded, futuristic spacesuit design, while a newly tooled helmet accessory has also been teased. The preview images even offer a faint glimpse of what appears to be a flesh-toned face sculpt beneath the helmet!
