In Mecha News Update #381, I’m running through a quick, collector-focused lineup of fresh prototypes and upcoming releases—model kits, mecha-adjacent picks, and some Beast Wars goodness. This episode is all about what’s new, what’s been previewed, and what you should keep on your radar if you’re planning pre-orders or just tracking the next wave of plastic and die-cast hype. First up is GOD BRAVE STUDIO’s Avant-Garde-kun from Blue Archive, a compact non-scale plastic model kit that also uses magnets, with a drone and stand included. I also highlight prototype previews for BigFireBird Build’s Nemesis (Mecharashi) in 1/48 scale and CANG TOYS TransAge GRANDSPINO, their MP-scale 6th Dinobot—both still TBA on price and release, but definitely ones to watch. To wrap the update, I point you to YOLOPARK’s AMK Series Beast Wars kits: Optimus Primal (18cm) and Dinobot (20cm), each listed at $29.99 with an estimated April 2026 release.
