Azur Lane’s Heavy Cruiser Baltimore Joins the PLAMATEA Series with Full Firepower!
Good Smile Company and Max Factory have teamed up once again under the PLAMATEA lineup to bring Baltimore from the hit naval mobile game Azur Lane to life in an all-new plastic model kit!
Slated for release in December 2025, this articulated figure kit stands approximately 16 cm tall (Approximately 6.3 inches) and is priced at 9,800 yen (Approximately $65 USD). It combines the joy of model-building with the expressive style and combat charm that fans love about Baltimore. 🛳️💪
The Star-Spangled Cruiser with Cool Style and Combat Flair
In Azur Lane, Baltimore is a SSR-class heavy cruiser from the Eagle Union, inspired by the USS Baltimore CA-68. Known for her confident personality and chill catchphrase “just a passing heavy cruiser,” she rocks a bold athletic outfit that flaunts her abs and sporty confidence—while sipping her favorite oxygen cola.
This PLAMATEA version faithfully captures all those design elements and takes it up a notch with model-specific enhancements and incredible play value.
🎯 Key Highlights:
✔ Pre-colored parts and painted faceplate included—no painting required for a display-ready finish
✔ Alternate facial expressions with water-slide decals to customize eye direction
✔ Dynamic articulation with specially engineered joints for natural movement
✔ Removable heavy equipment armor allows you to pose her in either full loadout or light gear mode
✔ Transfer decals provided for coat and gear detailing to enhance final appearance
✔ Poseable coat flaps designed to avoid articulation blockages, ensuring smoother posing
From my own experience building articulated figure kits, PLAMATEA’s engineering impresses me the most. You get the joy of snapping and assembling, but the result feels like a figure from a premium prize line—with excellent surface detailing and creative flexibility.
Baltimore’s casual confidence and muscular silhouette are fully realized here, especially with her fully articulated midsection, sharp expression, and the layered look of her coat and cruiser gear.
Online Exclusive Light Equipment Version Also Available!
For fans who prefer a leaner loadout, Good Smile Company’s Online Store will also offer a PLAMATEA Baltimore Light Ver., priced at 7,800 yen (Approximately $52 USD). This version excludes the heavy cruiser gear for a cleaner, lightweight aesthetic while retaining the full articulation and beauty of the sculpt.
It’s a great pick if you love her in her chill, casual appearance, or want to save shelf space without sacrificing style.
