Stay updated with the latest toy news. IN ERA+ released a 1/100 RMD Series Thunderbolt Manta Ray Equipment Version Model Kit. Let's assess its performance through the official photos!

▼ The kit includes 32 runners, including parts for the base, so the outer packaging is understandably large. The box is noticeably thicker than a standard MG kit.
(Reference dimensions: 43 × 32.5 × 17.5 cm)

▼ The new mold runners all feature the marking “MADE IN CHINA 2025” on their nameplates. There are a total of 21 newly tooled runners included in the kit.

▼ The runner detailing remains top-notch, with all mechanical and surface details finely and clearly molded. For the frame parts, not all gates are undergated, but the placement is well thought out and reasonably distributed to minimize visible marks.

▼ The metallic green runner features pre-painted parts, and like most of the outer armor pieces, the majority use undergating for a cleaner finish.

▼ Some of the unused parts from older runners have been directly removed, so once the build is completed, there won’t be an excessive amount of leftover pieces.

▼ The kit includes one sheet of marking water decals and one sheet of foil stickers.

▼ Compared to the standard version of Thunderbolt, the base display cards have been increased to three sheets.

▼ Assembly Tip: The frame mold appears to have undergone some refinement and reinforcement. The joint issues found in the original Thunderbolt version have been addressed—particularly at the knee linkage and waist swivel joints, which are now noticeably tighter. As a result, you might need to use a bit of force—prepare your “Iron Finger Technique”!

▼ As one of the standout releases in the Infinite Series RMD line, Thunderbolt features a fully articulated inner frame with finely crafted mechanical detailing. The main newly tooled parts for this version are focused on the head and shoulder armor, giving the kit a fresh identity while maintaining its robust internal structure.

▼ Once the outer armor is assembled, the overall build becomes noticeably bulkier and more robust. The use of newly designed parts introduces asymmetrical color separation, giving it a fresh and dynamic visual appeal compared to the original Thunderbolt version.

▼ The newly designed head sculpt is a reimagining of the original Thunderbolt, featuring sleeker, more aerodynamic contours inspired by racing helmets. It includes a full faceplate for a streamlined look. The eyes use foil stickers to enhance reflectivity, giving the expression a sharper, more spirited appearance.

▼ The asymmetrical shoulder armor features a design reminiscent of sports car rear wings. The top sections incorporate clear parts backed with foil stickers, enhancing the visual impact and adding a high-performance, mechanical feel.

▼ The hip joints on the main body have been newly redesigned, featuring an added extension lock mechanism. This provides enhanced structural support, making the hip joints more stable under stress and improving overall poseability.

▼ The newly designed assault rifle features intricate detail separation and a fully built-in internal structure. The magazine is also removable, adding to the weapon’s realism and playability.

▼ The main body can be mounted on the Manta Ray backpack, but the balance point is a bit tricky to manage—posing it securely may take some time and careful adjustment.

▼ The true star of this kit is undoubtedly the Manta Ray backpack. In many ways, it’s even more stylish than the main body—especially the central section, which looks like a Formula 1 race car on its own. When fully assembled in Manta Ray form, it stretches over 30 cm in length. Paired with the new support stand that allows for angled display, the result is nothing short of imposing and dramatic.

▼ The height comparison between the main body and the Manta Ray clearly shows the overwhelming sense of scale and presence brought by the backpack’s massive size.

▼ This time, the Manta Ray backpack includes a cockpit and pilot figure. The cockpit adopts a hamster-ball-like design, with an orange-red interior that really gives off high-performance supercar vibes.

▼ When the Manta Ray’s wings are extended, more internal mechanical details are revealed. The propellers embedded within are fully functional and can rotate independently, adding to the dynamic realism of the build.

▼ The hydraulic rods on both sides of the wings are also articulated and can move in sync. Additionally, the entire wing structure can rotate vertically to adjust its orientation, enhancing display flexibility and mechanical realism.

▼ The hydraulic rod at the nose section also features a telescoping linkage mechanism, adding another layer of mechanical interactivity to the build.

▼ The rear ends of the Manta Ray’s wings can be fitted with cable parts to recreate the “Rocket Anchor” launch effect, adding to the dynamic display options.

▼ Inside each wing, there are multi-jointed mechanical arms equipped with several rotating shafts. These arms are primarily used to mount and support the dual gun-blade weapons.

▼ The grip section of the gun-blade weapons features a transformation mechanism, allowing it to switch between different configurations for versatile display and posing.

▼ At the front of each wing, there are missile launch bays, while the large high-output thrusters at the rear can be adjusted up and down for dynamic positioning.

▼ The trident mounted at the rear of the Manta Ray feels a bit out of place compared to the rest of the unit’s arsenal. Unlike the assault rifle and gun-blades, it lacks interactive features or complex play functions, making it more of a visual accessory than a functional weapon.

▼ The newly designed support stand, while lacking joint locks, still offers enough tension to securely hold up the entire backpack—a tightness that definitely justifies some finger effort. There are also two interchangeable mounting methods between the stand and the backpack, allowing you to choose the setup that best suits your display preference.

▼ Since this set includes two support stands, you can display both the backpack and the main body separately while maintaining an interactive setup—allowing for more dynamic and flexible posing options.

▼ The combined form of the backpack and main body delivers a visually striking complete mode—even without applying the water decals, the overall look already feels rich and detailed. If you want to take it a step further, just apply a few well-placed decals to enhance the finish.

▼ With the massive Manta Ray backpack attached, all eyes are naturally drawn to it—its sheer size and detail steal the spotlight. This allows the main body to adopt more relaxed, supportive poses that showcase the backpack’s volume and intricate design. Thanks to the reinforced joints, the main unit can still move freely even while carrying the enormous backpack, which is a huge plus for pose enthusiasts who enjoy dynamic displays.
