Max Factory's product lines are broadening across multiple categories. The PLAMAX brand added four Honda motorcycle kits to its Rider's Portrait series, each including a rider figure and offered in three color variants, scheduled for December 2026. The same month sees the 31st installment of the Naked Angel series, a 3D-scanned 1/20 scale model of actress Alice Otsu. PLAMAX also released a 1/72 scale VF-19P Excalibur from Macross Dynamite 7, the first kit for that variant, with new parts for speaker units and a Nekki Basara figure.

The PLAMATEA line, a collaboration between Good Smile Company and Max Factory, expanded beyond mecha into character figures with Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Shikinami from the Rebuild of Evangelion films. Both 170mm movable kits include multiple expression parts and accessories, and are set for December 2026 at 7,700 yen each. Prototype production is by SELECT D.

In the figma line, Max Factory announced Kurukai from Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium, the first character from that game to join the line, scheduled for April 2027. The figure includes three face plates with movable eyes and multiple weapons. The same figma of Kurukai topped Amazon Japan's Hobby New Arrivals Ranking as of June 17, 2026, indicating strong consumer demand. Max Factory also re-released Nendoroid figures of Amaterasu and Shiranui from Okami for the franchise's 20th anniversary, shipping in October 2026, with regular and DX versions supervised by character designer Kenichiro Yoshimura.
