Exciting News for Model Enthusiasts: Shimakaze from Kantai Collection

Fans of the popular browser game "Kantai Collection -KanColle-" have something special to look forward to: the release of the stunning model of the destroyer Shimakaze. Available for pre-order at the leading hobby retailer AmiAmi, this model is part of the renowned Reincarnation series and is brought to life by Good Smile Company.

With a reference price set at ¥12,500 (including tax) and an expected release date in July 2026, this model promises to be a must-have for collectors. Standing at an impressive height of approximately 250mm, this non-scale model beautifully captures the essence of the character while maintaining a refined aesthetic standard.

A Closer Look at the Model

The design of Shimakaze takes inspiration from a whimsically cheeky illustration that graced the cover of "Febri Vol.19". This model not only rejuvenates that iconic look but also retains the expert craftsmanship that Good Smile Company is famed for.

The model features Shimakaze's slender physique along with her charming triple turret companions, each adorned with playful expressions that reflect their animated personalities. Detail is paramount, and the color differentiation is achieved through a combination of pre-colored parts and the inclusion of water-slide decals.

Moreover, the striped design of Shimakaze's knee socks is constructed entirely through part division, ensuring authentic representation. The model comes with two types of face parts: one featuring printed eyes, and another left unpainted, suitable for those who enjoy customizing. Fans can also display the small type of the turret separately, thanks to the included exchangeable feet parts.
