MindXpo Launches Original Anime Resin Kits: Nixie & May!
Get ready, model kit fans! MindXpo is diving into the world of anime with their very first original resin statue kits, featuring the delightful characters Nixie and May. For the past 30 years, anime has steadily gained a following in the USA, but the last five years have seen a huge surge in its popularity. MindXpo is one of the first US companies to create anime-style resin kits specifically for the American market. These kits are based on “Summer Beach,” a fun and quirky world filled with transforming water sprites, traditional Chinese medicine, and plenty of lighthearted comedy. Intrigued? You can learn more about the story and characters at http://www.mindxpo.com.
First up is Nixie Schmetterling Arakawa, a 1/8 scale resin kit scheduled for release in September 2003. This kit includes both clear and opaque resin pieces, giving hobbyists the freedom to create stunning visual effects. Optional pieces and a base are also included, along with an instruction sheet and colorful box art. You can snag Nixie for $44.98.
Following closely behind in October 2003 is May (also known as Jade) Lee, also a 1/8 scale resin kit, and also priced at $44.98. Like Nixie, May’s kit features a mix of clear and opaque resin, optional parts, a base, an instruction sheet, and beautiful box art. The best part? You can display Nixie and May separately, or connect their bases to create a hilarious diorama! It’s a perfect addition to any anime collection.
