Xenoblade Chronicles X Formula Skell Model Kit Will Return

Kotobukiya revealed that it is producing a new batch of plastic model kits featuring the Formula Skell from Xenoblade Chronicles X. The company has also opened the pre-order window for the kit, which it will release once again in October 2025.

The company originally released the 1/48 scale Skell model kit in 2016, which was the year after Nintendo released the original Xenoblade Chronicles X for Wii U in 2015. When completed, the unit would have an overall standing height of around 17.5 cm (~6.89 inches). The owner can also transform the unit to its vehicle form.

The model kit will be available at 8,800 yen (~$58.65). People residing outside Japan can order the kit via web stores that support worldwide shipping, such as AmiAmi, Hobby Search, and HobbyLink Japan.

Here are some of the sample images showing some of the available weapons and poses the kit can take when completed. But while some of the poses utilize a base, the package will not include one so the owner will have to purchase it separately.

The model kit’s new batch announcement really could not have come at a better time, as Nintendo is about to release Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for the Switch on March 20, 2025. Kotobukiya has also been restocking model kits from other titles in the series, such as Xenoblade Chronicles 2‘s Siren, which is slated to return in May 2025.

The 1/48 scale plastic model kit of the Xenoblade Chronicles X Skell Formula will be available again in October 2025.
