WAVE

Wave's model kit and figure lines are active through 2026 and into 2027, with Votoms, Ma.K., and Uzaki-chan releases dated or scheduled in that window.

Synthesized from 30 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 1

Wave's recent catalog work runs on reissues and expanded lines. The 1/35 scale Berserga DT [PS Version] returns in January 2027 at 6,380 yen with a Fyana figure and a leg-stored landing gimmick, and the 1/35 Balarant Army AT Fatty arrives in February 2027 at 5,280 yen as a snap-fit, poseable model with polycaps. The company is also re-releasing the 1/20 scale H.A.F.S. Super Jerry from Ma.K. in December 2026 for 7,480 yen, its first reissue in 12 years, now with Wave-made parts and a dual build option. On the figure side, a 1/7 scale Uzaki Yanagi in a cow-pattern bikini, designed by Take Sensei, is scheduled for December 31, 2026 at 19,800 yen through Amazon Japan pre-orders.

The Votoms and Ma.K. releases sit in Wave's established hobby-kit business, where the company works with licensed properties and adds its own parts to existing molds. The two Votoms kits extend the AT lineup on both the Gilgamesh and Balarant sides. The Super Jerry reissue pairs Wave parts with the NITTO Jerry base. The Uzaki Yanagi figure reprint depends on the original creator's supervision of the pose and expression, and the pre-order channel is Amazon Japan.

The stories give specific format, scale, price, and month for each item but do not describe Wave's broader production capacity, staff, or sales. Coverage stays on the products themselves: what is being released, at what scale, for how much, and when. That is the current picture of the studio's output in these stories.
