Kojima Productions Black Ludens Model Kit Figure Coming Back

Kotobukiya announced it will sell the black variant of the Kojima Productions Ludens model kit that lets someone build a figure of a female version of the company’s mascot ahead of the Death Stranding 2debut. It will appear in February 2026 in Japan, about five years after its original January 2021 debut, and in March 2026 in the US. It will cost 7,480円/$69.99. While it is possible to find the older version of the kit online on places like Amazon, it can be more expensive. This Kojima Productions mascot is a model kit along the lines of the Kotobukiya Frame Arms Girls characters. It can be assembled without any glue, though a pair of nippers is recommended for more delicate parts on the runners and tweezers for the waterslide decals. The hair, skin, and armor colors are different for this variant of the model. However, the armor design is similar, there are still two types of flags for her to hold, and she comes with one skull mask she can wear and one she can hold. Here’s a closer look at the kit: Images via Kotobukiya To compare, here’s a video of the 1:1 Ludens statue construction that shows how the actual version of the Yoji Shinkawa-designed mascot looks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSDrSBMlDs4 This isn’t the first Kojima Productions Ludens model kit to return, as Kotobukiya brought back the original white armor version of the figure too.
