QUANKAI Studio

Robot-girl figures built around one swappable base body

TL;DR

  • QUANKAI's first documented Japanese release arrived in March 2025.
  • Gene Interference pairs articulated base bodies with character armor such as Zombie Armor and the mantis-themed Egurihime.
  • Observed Japanese list prices sit between ¥2,860 and ¥7,040 (about $19-$47 USD).
  • Buy for modular play and expressive posing, with assembly required; availability varied when checked, from sold-out base-body listings to Egurihime in stock at HobbySearch.

A base body built for swapping parts

QUANKAI Studio's clearest idea is not a single character. It is a body that invites revision. Tokyo Otaku Mode identifies QK-ST-001 as the first Gene Interference release, while Mile-Stone and HobbySearch date its Japanese arrival to March 2025. HobbySearch records it as a 1/12 scale robot girl about 15 cm tall, made from ABS and POM, two rigid plastics. The relatively spare base gives builders room to pose it as-is or treat it as the foundation for a more specific character.

The armor releases show where that foundation can go. QK-JS-001 Zombie Armor does the strangest thing in this catalog: the armor converts into a coffin. The styling draws on the Chinese zombie of folklore, and the coffin gives the set a second way to sit on a shelf. QK-ST-002 is the revised 2.0 base body, while Egurihime added a praying-mantis motif and blade-like weapons. This is a small catalog, but its identity is already legible: QUANKAI treats character design as something the collector completes through assembly and reconfiguration.

A small catalog with visible retail footing

Japanese list prices documented by HobbySearch run from ¥2,860 for QK-ST-001 to ¥7,040 for the Zombie Armor Set (about $19-$47 USD). USA Gundam Store lists the line under a different translation, Altered Gene, so it is worth searching both names. These are model kits rather than finished display figures, so the natural fit is a collector who enjoys building, changing poses, and revisiting a figure after the first assembly.

Public corporate detail is still limited. The official profile identifies 全开工作室 as an original-toy design account and shows activity through August 2026, but the sources reviewed here do not establish a formal founding date, legal company name, or confirmed city headquarters. Figurepedia would welcome further company information and product documentation from QUANKAI. For now, the useful story is visible in the kits themselves: a young original-character line with a clear modular idea and real retail routes outside China.
