Meet 2B, the iconic combat android from NieR:Automata, with this Plastic Model Kit measuring approximately 15 cm. Faithfully modelled on the 3D model used in the game, this build-it-yourself kit recreates YoRHa No. 2 Type B in her distinctive black outfit, headband and combat gear.
The design captures many of the details of 2B’s appearance, including her intricately crafted black dress, ornate sleeves and high-top boots. Several interchangeable parts are included to alter her appearance once assembled. Three face plates and five types of hands allow for a variety of expressions and poses, whilst decals are provided to reproduce the eyes when the headband is removed, as well as the embroidery on the skirt.
The kit also includes 2B’s two iconic weapons: Virtuous Contract and Virtuous Treaty. These can be held in her hands or attached to her back using a transparent part that replicates their distinctive suspension system from the game. The Support Pod is also articulated and can be mounted behind the figure using a transparent stand.
Additional body parts allow you to recreate 2B’s appearance after activating Self-Destruct Mode. A Black Box is also included as an accessory, directly referencing the energy core of the YoRHa units. The model is supplied unpainted and presented in sprues: assembly is therefore required, whilst the fully assembled or painted examples shown in the promotional images are for illustrative purposes only.

Character background and lore
2B, whose full name is YoRHa No. 2 Type B, is one of the main protagonists of NieR:Automata. She is a combat android belonging to the YoRHa forces, an organisation created to combat the mechanical lifeforms that have taken over the Earth. The surviving humans have taken refuge on the Moon and use android units to continue their war against the machines. In official records, 2B is classified as a Type B unit, specialising in close-quarters combat.
Calm, disciplined and particularly effective in combat, 2B strives to adhere to one of the main rules imposed on YoRHa members: emotions are forbidden. Her demeanour therefore generally appears cold and reserved, even as the events she faces gradually call this doctrine into question.
At the start of NieR:Automata, 2B is regularly accompanied by 9S, a Scanner-type unit specialising in reconnaissance, hacking and data analysis. Whilst 2B possesses formidable combat abilities, 9S provides technical and tactical support. Their relationship gradually becomes one of the central elements of the narrative, as they uncover new information about the machines, YoRHa and the true nature of the conflict.
2B fights primarily with bladed weapons and can use various types of swords, spears or heavy weapons. ‘Virtuous Contract’ and ‘Virtuous Treaty’, included in this model kit, are among the weapons most closely associated with her promotional artwork and in-game equipment. She is also accompanied by Pod 042, a support unit capable of carrying out ranged attacks, analysing the environment and assisting the android during her missions.
The Black Box supplied with this kit is also an important element of the NieR:Automata universe. YoRHa units utilise these devices as power cores and systems essential to their operation. By combining the weapons, the Pod, the Auto-Destruction mode parts and the various face options, this Plastic Model Kit allows you to recreate several elements directly linked to 2B’s appearance and abilities in the game.
