Snail Shell has opened preorders at AmiAmi for SHELLWORKS ARKFRAME A-07 Anubis, the first release in a new assembly-type plastic kit series built on original Snail Shell designs.

Why it matters
Snail Shell is moving from articulated figures into its own mecha kit line, and the 3,160 yen AmiAmi price puts a 287-part, pre-painted, undergated kit in the range of a standard hobby purchase rather than a premium release.
Key Facts
- SHELLWORKS ARKFRAME A-07 Anubis is the first release in Snail Shell's new SHELLWORKS plastic model kit series.
- The kit is 1/48 scale, stands about 161mm to the top of the head, and consists of 287 parts and 16 runners.
- AmiAmi lists the kit at 3,160 yen against a reference price of 3,960 yen, scheduled for March 2027.
- The set includes a heavy-armed greatsword KHERU, a sword shield MA'AT, a beam sword SESHAT, a feather blade FEATHER, and two water-slide decal sheets.
The 1/48 scale kit stands about 161mm tall, uses an internal frame with a linked cockpit that opens to seat a miniature pilot, and runs 287 parts across 16 runners. It is scheduled for March 2027 at a reference price of 3,960 yen.
The kit ships with a heavy-armed greatsword called KHERU, an offense and defense integrated sword shield called MA'AT, a beam sword called SESHAT, and a feather blade called FEATHER, plus seated and standing pilot figures and a Snail Shell exclusive stand base set.
Two water-slide decal sheets are included for builders who want to add surface detail. Some parts are matte molded and some are pre-painted, and the undergate design is meant to make gate marks less noticeable, so the kit is intended to look finished with assembly alone. Two sets of interchangeable hands, gripping and open, are in the box. AmiAmi lists the kit at 3,160 yen against a 3,960 yen reference price.
