Bandai’s ever-evolving 30 Minutes Missions (30MM) series welcomes a new entry that brings innovation, simplicity, and creative freedom to hobbyists—the 30MM eEXM-40 Iglight 02. As the latest mass-produced unit from the United Earth Forces, the Iglight 02 represents the next step in model kit engineering for beginners and veterans alike.

Available now for purchase in Australia through Hobby Kitz, the 30MM eEXM-40 Iglight 02 model kit redefines what makes a great entry point into Gunpla-style mech building. With its accessible build style, redesigned components, and extensive customization features, the Iglight is more than just a model—it’s a platform for creativity.

What is the 30MM eEXM-40 Iglight 02?

The eEXM-40 Iglight 02 is a 1/144 scale plastic model kit from Bandai’s 30MM lineup. Designed as a new mass-production machine for the United Earth Forces, it replaces the earlier “Alto” unit as the series' primary standard mobile suit. The Iglight brings a refreshed, streamlined design with updated articulation and beginner-friendly assembly techniques.

For modelers new to the 30MM universe, the 30MM eEXM-40 Iglight 02 is an ideal kit, introducing a simplified construction process and offering customization options typically reserved for more complex models.

Key Features of the Iglight 02 Model Kit

1. 1/144 Scale with Enhanced Proportions

True to the 30MM tradition, the Iglight 02 is built at 1/144 scale, offering a compact yet highly detailed build. Despite its relatively small size, the model captures dynamic proportions and modern mecha aesthetics, making it a visually striking unit on display or in action poses.

2. First in the Series with Touch Gate Assembly

One of the most innovative features of the 30MM eEXM-40 Iglight 02 is the adoption of Bandai's Touch Gate system—a first for the 30MM lineup. This feature allows builders to remove parts from the runners without the need for nippers, significantly simplifying the process and reducing build time. For newcomers, it means no tools are necessary to complete the kit, making the experience more accessible and beginner-friendly.

3. Simplified Construction with Streamlined Joints

The Iglight uses fewer parts and simplified joints to make construction smoother and faster. This allows builders to spend more time customizing and less time on complex sub-assemblies. The streamlined design doesn’t compromise articulation, offering excellent movement for action posing.

4. Redesigned RoyRoy Support Units

Included with the 30MM eEXM-40 Iglight 02 model kit are two redesigned RoyRoy support mechas. These compact units come with updated styling and offer dual functionality—they can operate as independent support drones or transform into weapons for the Iglight. This built-in feature expands playability and encourages creative configurations right out of the box.

5. Customization-Ready with 3mm Joint System

Like all kits in the 30MM series, the Iglight 02 is equipped with 3mm universal connection joints. This standard allows parts to be swapped with other 30MM kits and accessories. Builders can create original mecha configurations by mixing and matching armor, limbs, weapons, and equipment across the series.

Whether you're customizing the base unit or integrating parts from the Portanova, Spinatia, or Cielnova kits, the Iglight 02 provides a versatile foundation for endless creativity.

6. Articulated Arm Joint with 180-Degree Rotation

The model features an innovative movable 3mm joint built into the arms that offers up to 180 degrees of rotation. This not only improves the posing range but also allows armor or weapons to be connected from different angles. It enables dynamic armament layouts and enhances the overall play value.

7. Visor Down Mode – Headpiece Customization

The Iglight’s head unit can be swapped to simulate the visor-down “night vision scope” mode, giving it a tactical look reminiscent of reconnaissance mechs. This feature adds another layer of visual depth and allows you to choose how you want your model displayed.

Why Choose the 30MM eEXM-40 Iglight 02 Model Kit?

Assembly Experience

No Nippers Required
