Released by BANDAI SPIRITS Company's HOBBY Division in Japan, the original plastic model series '30MINUTES MISSIONS', which features quick assembly, easy customization, and fully showcases the charm of mass-produced machines, unveiled detailed information for three new products – 'Spinatio (Knight Type)', 'Extended Armament Vehicle (Armored Attacker Ver.)', and 'Large Optional Fuel Tank Set' – at today's online presentation, HOBBY NEXT PHASE 2022 SUMMER.
・30MM 1/144 EXM-A9k Spinatio (Knight Type)
Reference Price: 1,628 JPY (Tax Included)
Scheduled Release Date: 2022/11
The Spinatio (Knight Type) is a third-party faction unit designed by illustrator Fumikane Shimada, who also participated in the design of the 30MS series' mecha girls. Its appearance resembles a medieval knight clad in silver-white armor, wielding a longsword and kite shield. As a mass-produced unit, it strikes a balance, appearing neither too strong nor too weak, presenting a handsome and well-rounded image. The design intentionally leaves a large flat surface on the shield, allowing players to paint or apply decals.
The model kit continues the series' characteristics, offering advantages such as low assembly difficulty and easy customization. Various parts of the armor feature standardized 3mm ports, allowing for free customization with parts from the same series. The helmet's visor can be raised or completely detached, and the longsword can be secured to the inside of the shield and hung on the back.
30MM 1/144 Extended Armament Vehicle (Armored Attacker Ver.)
Reference Price: 1,078 JPY (Tax Included)
Scheduled Release Date: 2022/10
The Extended Armament Vehicle (Armored Attacker Ver.) is a unit designed by mechanical designer Takayuki Yanase. It is a small machine developed using third-party faction frame technology, smaller in size compared to typical 30MM units, and features a cute, rounded design. Its seemingly bare head actually conceals an AI-equipped unmanned support mechanism, "Roy-Roy".
The kit continues the series' characteristic of low assembly difficulty. While seemingly simple, it offers a decent range of articulation in the waist and limbs. It comes with a grenade launcher as armament, and the unmanned support mechanism "Roy-Roy" stored in the head can also be fully detached. Furthermore, various parts of the armor feature standardized 3mm ports, allowing for free customization with parts from the same series.
30MM 1/144 Large Optional Fuel Tank Set
Reference Price: 968 JPY (Tax Included)
Scheduled Release Date: 2022/11
The second installment of large customization parts introduces the highly versatile "Large Optional Fuel Tank". This kit consists of white and dark gray molded parts, divided into a backpack base, connection parts, two large thrusters, and two large fuel tanks. The large fuel tanks are composed of 6 segments, allowing for selection of desired length by swapping parts. Each part not only uses common 3mm pegs for connection but also features multiple 3mm ports for expansion, making customization extremely convenient.
