Bandai 30 Minutes Sisters

Launched in 2021, the "30 Minutes Sisters" line is Bandai Hobby's innovative addition to the plastic model kit arena. These kits uniquely blend mecha and anime aesthetics, offering enthusiasts the chance to craft their ideal mecha girl.

The series categorizes kits based on "body types": A, G, and S, with forthcoming releases for T and D. Notably, each type denotes a distinctive body proportion. For instance, the G type stands taller than A, whereas T is more compact. Luluce, Tiasha, and Far Farina belong to the A category, while the taller Rishetta and Alka-Carti identify with G. New releases, Ririrneru and Ruruneru, fall under T, and Nevalia represents D.

These models champion customization. "Option Armour" kits, for example, are designed to integrate seamlessly onto body ports. Moreover, as the kits maintain standardised parts, interchangeability is effortless, promoting creative freedom. However, mixing thighs from different body types might clash aesthetically.

Each kit is colour-coded (A, B, C) to represent the skin tone, simplifying part matching. Typically, these figures measure between 140-150mm in height.

While every character boasts a distinct face and hue, the primary allure lies in the mix-and-match capability. Each character represents a particular archetype, but their inherent compatibility allows for inventive customizations. Special kits like Alka Carti and Far Farina also include "heavy armour" parts, elevating their value.

To heighten the personal touch, Bandai offers various options like hairstyles, armours, and thematic outfits. Importantly, the "Option Hand Parts" set enhances poseability. For those already immersed in the "30 Minutes Missions" universe, these sisters are fully compatible, amplifying the customisation possibilities. Dive into this creative endeavor, and shape your ideal mecha heroine!
