KaiTianJiChuang 1/12 Mecha Angel Black Swan Elysia Model Kit
Overview The KaiTianJiChuang 1/12 Mecha Angel Series Black Swan Elysia is a mecha girl assembly model kit and the debut release in KaiTianJiChuang's original Mecha Angel series. Designed in collaboration with illustrator TangHuang, Elysia is a silver-haired, heterochromatic-eyed combat unit featuring a dual-mode transformation system that switches between Land-Battle and Air-Battle configurations through swappable legs, backpacks, and shoulder armor. The kit includes two complete armed bodies - a first for Chinese-manufactured mecha girl kits - allowing both combat modes to be displayed simultaneously without swapping parts. KaiTianJiChuang (开天机创) is a new Chinese manufacturer entering the mecha musume space with the Mecha Angel line, set in an original sci-fi universe on planet Terra where paired combat operatives known as "Mecha Angels" are trained to fight an alien threat. The kit builds from 41 runners using PC, ABS, POM, and PVC. Key Features Dual Armed Bodies - Two complete armed body configurations (Land-Battle and Air-Battle) are included as separate builds, not just swappable parts. Both can be displayed simultaneously using the shared base body arms. One-Piece POM Skeleton - The internal frame uses a single-piece molded POM skeleton for tight, stable joints across the torso and limbs. Joint tightness is notably firm out of the box. 10 Face Options - Includes 2 movable-eye face plates (calm and combat expressions) with eye adjustment tool, 3 pre-painted face plates with fixed eye directions, and 5 blank face plates for custom painting or waterslide decal application. Full Weapon Loadout with Multiple Configurations - Dimensional Energy Sword with two swappable effect blade sets (standard overload and particle flame wave), Pulse Wave Ruler with replaceable energy blade, and Sky-Piercing Twin Guns with muzzle effect parts. Support Craft Transformation - The Air-Battle backpack and Land-Battle energy sword combine to form a standalone support aircraft. Transparent standing aids allow the figure to stand on the craft without a support arm. Modular Display Base with Stasis Pod - The display stand splits into two independent bases (each with storage compartments and support arm mounting), and reassembles with the included transparent tube into a hibernation capsule display large enough for other 1/12 mecha girl kits. Extensive Effect Parts - Wing effects, Flame Slash effect, gun effects, backpack cannon effects, leg-mounted cannon effects (two lengths), and jet thruster effects. Every visible thruster port has a dedicated mounting point for its corresponding effect part. Builder Context This is a snap-fit assembly kit with 41 runners, pre-painted face plates, and color-separated parts designed for a display-ready result without painting. The color instruction manual includes chibi character illustrations and a QR code linking to an official assembly video, making it accessible for intermediate builders. The one-piece POM skeleton produces very tight joints - builders should expect to sand ball joint pegs (especially at the hips and shoulders) and may want to apply Vaseline to the hip joints for smoother articulation. Some surface-visible nub gates are positioned in tricky locations where a hobby knife produces cleaner results than nippers alone. The thigh parts have a visible mold line that can be removed with light sanding. Builders familiar with Kotobukiya Frame Arms Girl or Eastern Model A.T.K. Girl kits will find the construction approach comparable, with the dual-body configuration and support craft transformation adding complexity beyond a typical single-body mecha girl build. Why Build This Kit The KaiTianJiChuang Black Swan Elysia is the first Chinese-manufactured mecha girl kit to include two complete armed bodies in a single box, allowing both Land-Battle and Air-Battle forms to be displayed simultaneously rather than requiring part-swapping between configurations. With 41 runners, 10 face plates, two full weapon sets, a transformable support craft mode, and a stasis pod display base, the accessory density at this price point exceeds comparable 1/12 mecha girl kits from Eastern Model, Nuke Matrix, and Hemoxian. The face sculpt quality is the kit's standout feature - Chinese community reviewers consistently single it out as the strongest element of the product, with the movable-eye heterochromatic design and anime-proportioned eye sockets producing a display presence that avoids the uncanny-valley effect common in mecha girl kits with movable eyes. At 17 cm in armed configuration, Elysia has strong 1/12 shelf presence and is display-compatible with figma, SHFiguarts, and other 1/12 action figures. Builders should know that KaiTianJiChuang is a debut manufacturer - joint tightness requires sanding for comfortable play, and the body proportions prioritize the armed equipment over figure detail, but the face quality and accessory volume set a strong foundation for the Mecha Angel line.
