Kit includes the full Fighter kit as well as the Warrior Class Up, with the option to build either or add the (not included) Viking Class Up.
This is a retrospective review, as I've already reviewed the standard Fighter and Warrior Class Up individually, and 30MF has just had its 2 year anniversary, making it a good time to write this.
The Fighter kit on its own is my favorite of all of the 'Jobs' and characters - It's a great introductory model that doesn't need any expansions as it looks entirely cohesive on its own.
Aesthetics:
The Fighter uses the Silhouette 2 base, which is a slightly shorter but much bulkier body. Its head is notably squished down, so there are some quirks when you swap face parts/masks from other Jobs.
As mentioned, the Fighter by itself (not pictured) is already a great model. A full plated medieval soldier without leaning too much into fantasy with a round shield and a large one-handed axe, fully in grey with brown-orange Silhouette accents and only two obvious 3mm hard points from the front (the Priest has five noticeable open holes on its front).
The pictured Warrior is a bit of an odd expansion onto the base Fighter, in part because it turns the character into a sort of fantasy 'bull barbarian', but mostly due to the chocolate brown armor and red cloth parts standing out against the light grey. Had they kept it more neutral or the same grey along with blue cloth (for Liber), it would not only have looked more cohesive out of the box, but it would make painting both easier.
The Rosan Warrior version offers a different upper mask with antlers.
Mechanics/Compatibility:
The Silhouette 2 body has largely the same range of movement as the other two and identical hard points.
The Fighter armor is not designed to go on the other Silhouettes and similarly you won't always get a clean fit equipping other armor onto the Silhouette 2, due to the thicker limbs, head and torso, but it's also not impossible, just awkward.
The weapon expansion won't fit on anything else, but you can use the shaft on its own to lengthen any other weapon with a 3mm peg, while the shield 'face' is meant to go on curved surfaces with the exact hard point distance of the Fighter shield, so you'll have to be creative or modify it, to put it on other stuff.
The Fighter is currently the only Silhouette 2 kit, but Dec. 2026 the Liber Land Hunter will release, including its own Silhouette (Rosan version coming later *without* the base body), likely with more to come over the years (maybe once every two years). Note though, that the Viking/Warrior sets require the Fighter armor and weapons.
Was it a good choice to add this body variety? I personally think the Fighter works better than the slimmer Knight as a melee character, visually, so I would say yes and while I hope that Bandai tries to be more considerate about Cross Armor compatibility and modularity, I would actually prefer to see even more Silhouette types, such as a monstrous type (ogre or troll) and a gnome/goblin type.
Equipment:
I won't write out the full list in this review, but you have everything included in the two kits, such as three sets of hands, a weapon, a shield, an expansion to both and pegged/pegless ring parts.
Conclusion:
This kit specifically features alternative (unnumbered) box art and a different manual, which isn't going to be interesting to you unless you're really into the franchise and obsess over product differences. The primary advantage is that you save a bit of money, with nothing else unique to this kit.
Like I said, the Fighter is my favorite kit and I have two of each faction with all the Class Up versions. I think it's a timeless design and a great base to expand on, creatively with direct modifications (cutting, gluing, painting etc).
For my own purposes, I prefer red on Rosan and blue on Liber, so you can swap the cloth parts between the two faction Class Up kits. While the Rosan cloth parts are purple, not blue, they're easy to paint to match with a light coat of royal blue, rather than painting blue over red.
