PLAMATEA is Good Smile Company's line of articulated assembly plastic model kits, and its recent releases reach across game enemies, Kantai Collection, Apocalypse Hotel, My-Otome HiME, Evangelion, Cutie Honey Nova, and original characters. The most recent addition is the Dolls Nest Unknown Armored Soldier, with preorders open at Rakuten Books.
PLAMATEA is Good Smile Company's line of articulated assembly plastic model kits. Through 2026 the line has added character kits from several franchises and one enemy unit from a game. The Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Shikinami kits from the Rebuild of Evangelion films are scheduled for December 2026 at 7,700 yen each, both about 170mm tall, with prototype production by SELECT D. The Cutie Honey Nova Black Honey kit is also set for December 2026 at 8,800 yen and stands 170mm. Two kits are dated April 2027: the Apocalypse Hotel Yachiyo, about 150mm and 9,800 yen, and the My-Otome HiME Arika Yumemiya, about 140mm. The Kongou Kai Ni C kit from Kantai Collection is about 155mm with a suggested retail price of 11,000 yen, listed at Rakuten Books for 9,581 yen.
Preorders and retail listings are part of the picture. The Dolls Nest Unknown Armored Soldier is open for preorder at Rakuten Books at 11,031 yen against a reference price of 12,799 yen. The Kongou Kai Ni C listing at Rakuten Books is 9,581 yen against a suggested 11,000 yen. The Apocalypse Hotel Yachiyo reservations began August 25. The Black Honey kit took first place in Amazon Japan's Hobby Bestseller Ranking as of June 18, 2026, and the Max Factory PLAMATEA MX-chan ranked second in a separate Amazon hobby new arrivals chart. Both show the line moving through the hobby retail charts alongside non-PLAMATEA kits.
The range of subjects is the throughline. The line covers anime characters, a game protagonist, a game antagonist, a classic character, and an original character. The Dolls Nest Unknown Armored Soldier is the most recent and the first time this cluster shows an enemy unit as the product rather than a hero. The MX-chan release is from Max Factory, not Good Smile Company. The accessories vary widely: the Unknown Armored Soldier includes weapons and a stand; the Kongou Kai Ni C includes rigging and a sitting-pose skirt; the Yachiyo includes tank-mode vehicle parts and a boiling pot effect; the Arika Yumemiya includes a broom and bag; the Evangelion kits include expression parts and can hold weapons from a separately sold MODEROID Evangelion Unit-01. The line has no single format beyond articulated assembly and swappable parts.

Good Smile Company is turning Yachiyo, the hotelier robot protagonist of the TV anime Apocalypse Hotel, into a plastic model in its PLAMATEA series. The kit is non-scale and stands approximately 150mm tall when assembled. It uses molded colors and pre-painted parts so that assembly alone brings the model close to the in-series color scheme, and it comes with a base with a movable support. The figure features movable joints, plus various expression parts and interchangeable hands to recreate scenes from the show. One pre-painted face part is included, and additional expressions can be reproduced with decals. The model also reproduces Yachiyo's 'boiling pot' function, with a dedicated expression part showing hot water coming out of the mouth. The shampoo hat, which Yachiyo cares about as a hotel amenity, comes in two types: one that can be hung on a hook and one that can be placed on the head. Most notably, large vehicle body parts are included, and by swapping some parts, the 'Yachiyo Tank' mode can be reproduced. The kit is priced at 9,800 yen (tax included) and is scheduled for release in April 2027. Reservations begin on August 25 at 12:00.
