Corvus Belli, Mindworks Launch 25th Anniversary Shinobu Kitsune Display Kits

Collectors and painters got a new showpiece option when Corvus Belli and Italian maker Mindworks released a 25th anniversary Shinobu Kitsune display kit line. The drop, announced January 25, 2026, offers a 1:24 regular edition priced at about $59 / €50 and a 1:20 numbered limited edition of 300 pieces priced at about $106 / €90. Both are high-quality resin, unassembled kits aimed at hobbyists who want a larger, display-oriented sculpt rather than a tabletop gaming miniature.

The limited 1:20 edition distinguishes itself with two interchangeable heads and individual numbering, making it a clear target for collectors building a small-scale display or portfolio piece. The 1:24 regular edition provides a more affordable canvas for painters who want a big project without the commitment of a low-run statue. Mindworks opened preorders through its US and EU webstores, putting both tiers into buyers’ hands as a prepaintable kit rather than a finished figure.

Scale and presentation matter for this release. The 1:24 and 1:20 scales sit well above the usual skirmish miniatures sold for gaming and offer more surface area for detail work, longer blending runs, and larger basing options. The resin kits arrive unassembled, so expect subassembly, gap filling, and joint pinning to be part of the workflow. That setup rewards modellers who like to kitbash, sculpt extra details, or experiment with texture and weathering at a scale that showcases brushwork and airbrush gradients.

Practical value is immediate for painters planning showpieces. Larger parts make layering, glazing, and nonmetallic metal techniques more forgiving, and interchangeable heads on the limited run let painters explore alternate expressions without sacrificing a full figure. Display choices widen too; the piece will fit larger dioramas, acrylic cases, and gallery-style shelf displays more comfortably than gaming minis. Shipping and storage are considerations: resin parts need careful packing and a dust-free priming area, and expect longer cure times for primers and varnishes on a bigger surface.

Corvus Belli and Mindworks positioned Shinobu Kitsune as an intersection between collectible statue runs and the classic hobby kit, giving Infinity fans and studio painters an outpost for experimentation and presentation. Check Mindworks US and EU webstores for preorder details and availability. For painters ready to step up from tabletop skirmish work, Shinobu Kitsune offers a hands-on route to a polished display centerpiece and a chance to practice finish techniques at a larger, more forgiving scale.
