Max Factory has opened preorders for PLAMAX Flower., a new plastic model kit based on the character from illustrator neco's original series "Flower Imitation." The PLAMAX Flower. kit is priced at 11,000 yen, including tax, and is scheduled for release in May 2027.
Japanese illustrator neco is known for creating distinctive heroines built around themes ranging from different cultures and tactical outfits to firearms and bladed weapons. The artist's best-known original projects include "Heavily Armed High School Girls," "A-Z:" and "FALSLANDER," alongside character design work for numerous games and commercial projects. Flower. from "Flower Imitation." has previously inspired several Prime 1 Studio collectibles, including scale figures with different skin tones and poses, event-exclusive colorways and a 1/2-scale bust. This latest release brings her into the PLAMAX line as an articulated model kit, allowing collectors to adjust her pose and gaze to create expressions and compositions beyond the original artwork.
Standing approximately 6.1 inches tall, PLAMAX Flower. pairs tan brown skin with a stark white techwear outfit. A flower sealed inside a layered clear case is strapped to her back, giving the design a futuristic, post-apocalyptic feel reminiscent of "DEATH STRANDING." The oversized cuffs contrast sharply with the form-fitting suit around her torso, while yellow gloves, compact equipment and printed outfit markings add further visual detail. Three pre-painted face parts are included: a standard face, a smiling face and a masked face. Her eyes are also articulated, letting collectors adjust her gaze to match the direction of her head. The visor on the hood can be pulled down to cover her entire face.
Accessories include a handgun, a submachine gun, an interchangeable upper body without the jacket and an alternate hood, giving the model several display options. The hands are made from PVC, while an articulated display stand and water-slide decals are included to enhance the finished build and faithfully recreate neco's original design. Flower. can also be paired with the separately sold motorcycle "PLAMAX REINDEER-F" for a complete rider-and-bike display.
