Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse Getting Shiranui Second Plastic Model Kit as Steam Release Approaches

Today Kotobukiya hosted its Collection Online 2022 Winter event and had a couple of exciting reveals for Muv-Luv fans.

First of all, the XFJ-01a Shiranui Second Phase 2 model kit is getting a reprint. in the final color scheme used by protagonist Yuya Bridges.

Much like Yui Takamura’s Type-00F Takemikazuchi and the Scarlet Twins’ Su-37UB Terminator, this is a very old plastic model kit that was released several years ago and has gone out of print since.

This is a non-scale model part of the Ver.1.5 that comes with higher quality and a ton of parts compared to the scale models of Muv-Luv TSF that Kotobukiya has made.

The release month and pricing have not been announced yet, but as a bonus, we also get a new official image of the prototype of the Type-97 Fubuki from the Muv-Luv Alternative anime.

The news comes just in time since the Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse visual novel (which is awesome, having played it in Japanese) is in the final stage of editing and should release on Steam in English soon.
