Square Enix will release Xenogears Structure Arts Vol.1 plastic model kit series on March 27, 2021. With just 8,712 yen, you will be able to get a set of four 1/144 kits based on the Gears piloted by the main characters in the classic RPG. [Thanks, Inside Games!] The four Gears included in this set are the Weltall used by the Xenogears protagonist Fei Fong Wong, the Vierge piloted by the heroine Elhaym “Elly” Van Houten, Citan Uzuki’s Heimdal, and Bartholomew “Bart” Fatima’s Brigander. Each unit will have its own pedestal, along with several alternative hand parts. Every unit other than Fei’s martial arts-focused Weltall will also come with its own unique weapons.

Square Enix noted that these Xenogears plastic models comprised the second batch in the Structure Arts series. The first honor went to Front Mission, which saw a set of 1/72 kits of Zenith, Giza, Drake, and Numsekar released in October 2020. The Front Mission kits came in plain colors, so it’s up to the builder to recolor them as you like. Xenogears is a classic RPG that was released by Squaresoft for the first PlayStation in 1998. It is also available to play on PlayStation Portable, PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation 3, with a Game Archives edition released in June 2008. Square Enix also released a Bring Arts figure of Fei Fong Wong in August 2018.
