The SNAA / IN ERA+ Thunderbolt is a high-profile 1/100 scale third-party original mecha model kit born out of a major collaboration between prominent model makers Infinite Dimension (IN ERA+) and SNAA (formerly Supernova). Released under the Infinity Nova product line, this kit blends the high-fidelity aesthetic of resin garage kits with the snap-fit playability of high-end plastic models.
Key Specifications & Architecture
-
Hybrid Structural Design: Features a robust inner skeleton built from high-strength plastic and integrated premium alloy components to distribute weight properly.
-
True 1/100 Scale: Stands at roughly 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) tall, giving it an aggressive, imposing shelf presence comparable to heavy Master Grade kits.
-
Extreme Mechanical Articulation: Highly poseable across major points of articulation like the shoulders, hips, and knees, allowing for dynamic aerial and heavy action poses.
Notable Engineering Quirks
-
Resin-Like Detail: Known for its signature "more detail is always the answer" design logic, featuring deep panel lines, three-panel deep layered armor plating, and sharp silhouettes.
-
Tight Tolerances: The engineering tolerances are precise, meaning peg-and-socket connections can be incredibly stiff out of the box. Builders generally recommend lightly sanding connection pins on the shoulders and waist to prevent accidental plastic snapping during tight assemblies.
