I wouldn't recomment the acfa white glint. The work of a genius architect doesn't reflect on that kit. As mentioned earlier he's way out of proportion, leg actuators sticking out, lots of parts swapping for the Overed Boost and assault armor mode(which doesn't really help improve his appearance). Also lots of pointy breakable prieces. If I were you I'd go for Noblesse http://dalong.net/review/kotobukiya/nx06/nx06_p.htm

Sorry for double posting; after looking through AC models on Amazon I was very happy when I found that Motorcobras do exist in model form.

You should check on Kotobukiya's site to see their full AC lineup.

Chichaizou.

It's to scale, but 3.3k for that? I'm glad I didn't rush to get one.

Not quite to scale actually. The head should be leveled just above the knees of older gen ACs if it's close to 5 meters.

Here it is side by side with the Bandai Chogokin figure.

Costs too much for some reason. Nearly much as a Dibison or an Iron Kong for that amount of money.

Size comparison of a NEXT (AALIYAH) and the AC from the collector's edition if anyone's curious. Wasn't expecting it to be this big. Wacko



ACV Kit at the left; AALIYAH's the one on the right.

The detailing seems nicely done too. It comes with a load of decals (not yet applied) and its plastic seems like gray/black with a mix of green hue when highlighted. Or maybe I'm just color-blind. LOL

[Image: IMG_9412.jpg]


The kit's articulation is snappy, which I think makes it easy to balance and pose, but isn't as flexible as the other kits.

The book has every part covered too btw; complete with all the close-up views and whatnot. I'm disappointed at the OST though lol. I mean, where the hell are the tracks from the game?! There are only like, 7 tracks in the disc and I don't even think I've heard any of them in the game!

The size of the box itself should've been your first clue. Tongue

I got the Japanese CE version, so nope lol. The descriptions aren't that long though; it's as if they're just part descriptions when you check out their in-game properties.

Yep. Gotta roll my eyes at the fact that ACs now resemble Wanzers more than ever.
