Japanese model manufacturer Kotobukiya has announced the latest product in its popular "Frame Arms Girl" plastic model kit series, the "Hresvelgr QIPAO Ver.", slated for release in October 2025.
The Hresvelgr series was originally the first popular model in Kotobukiya's "Frame Arms" plastic model kit series to feature a complete transformation mechanism and numerous derivative specifications. When illustrator Eiji Komatsu reimagined it as a beautiful girl, the "Frame Arms Girl Hresvelgr" series was born, faithfully reproducing the differences in each specification and designing distinct appearances and personalities, which also garnered immense popularity.
The "Frame Arms Girl Hresvelgr QIPAO Ver." is a modification based on the previously released Hresvelgr Ater kit. It utilizes the same parts to recreate the Qipao design drawn by Eiji Komatsu, including hair parts for a bun / braided twin-tail hairstyle, a body clad in a Qipao, and more voluptuous thigh parts. The color scheme has been changed to the characteristic blue and purple tones of the original Hresvelgr, and stickers to reproduce the Qipao's embroidery are included.
Some movable joints have also been updated to modern product standards. The hip joint parts feature the pull-out structure adopted by "Frame Arms Girl Izumo," which, combined with pull-out shoulder joints, independent upper arm rotation, and double-jointed knees, grants Hresvelgr Ater an even more flexible range of motion. This allows for dynamic battle poses when paired with the "Great Sword" featuring an expansion mechanism and the "Kwai" which can switch between blade and chainsaw forms.
Accessories include four new expression parts, different from those of Hresvelgr Ater. Furthermore, the product is compatible with previously released "Frame Arms Girl Hresvelgr" series kits; the hair parts can be interchanged with the standard Hresvelgr Ater, and thigh parts are included for connecting to the Hresvelgr series' mechanical legs.
