Wonder Festival 2010: New Kotobukiya AC Kits
Kit-maker Kotobukiya exhibited several new (and a few recycled) Armored Core model kits for the recent (Winter) Wonder Festival in Tokyo, Japan. Among the new kits are the SD White Glint (pictured above) and the Mirage C02-Uranus Marvelous.
More pictures and upcoming products after the jump:
Now That’s An Armored Core: Aaliyah Custom
Found over at Armored Core-Wiki. Looks like Nineball Seraph isn't the only awesome bird in the sky. This heavily modded custom Aaliyah made by "Riyu Mu" (ゆむ) looks like it can dominate the heavens and rule over the throne held by Armored Core's big bad guy. Safe to say, it'd be interesting what a four way battle will look like between this guy, Nineball Seraph, Crest Black Rain, and the Cronus Vestal. More pictures after the jump:
Oh you sexy LAHIRE!
The LAHIRE model kit will be available in local hobby stores (hopefully) by April or May 2010. The kit features Otsdarva's AC Stasis, the No.1 Collard ranker featured in Armored Core: for Answer along with all the weapons and trimmings. The kit includes the 0700 assault rifle, 0507 heavy laser rifle, PM missiles, and a radar pack along with some stabilizers. Its unusual joints and small limbs make it an unusual design in a series filled with beefy giant robots, but otherwise it's mech sexy as any other AC. Go grab one if you want your AC on a diet.
EDIT: Thanks cabs for the correction.
You’ve Got A Robot Doggie In My Noblesse Oblige
It seems that there is a hidden part discovered in Kotobukiya's 1/72 scale Noblesse Oblige model kit from Armored Core 4. Can you tell from which part of the model kit this cute robot dog comes from? The answer after the jump.
1/72 Tellus Gunmetal Version By Kotobukiya Released
The limited edition gunmetal version of Kotobukiya's Tellus model kit from Armored Core 4 has finally been released and is (hopefully) available in your local hobby center. The gunmetal version considerably has different weapons compared to the original, most noticeable is the absence of the backmount folding laser cannon replaced by a radar part. Go grab one if you feel like having your Tellus kit with different colors.
Thanks to Isburai for the heads-up.
Now That’s An Armored Core: Cronus Custom VESTAL
Oh boy here we go again. From 507 the creator of the ever so beautiful Crest Heavy Fighting Type "Black Rain" comes another beast of an AC machine simply called VESTAL which is a (heavily) modified CRONUS model kit. In contrast to his previous creation, this one seems to be built for speed and flight. Read on for more pictures of this beautiful AC.
Now That’s An ARMORED Core!
Crest Heavy Fighting Type "Black Rain" by 507 from FG-SITE
UPDATE: Now with more pictures!
At least it's good to know this bad boy's the one gonna finish you off. This AC is so mean, it looks like a match for Kojima Core ACs. Heck, it even has missiles on its crotch! More pictures below.
Raven Republic Armored Core Kit(ty) Bash 3
Raven Republic members held the 3rd AC kit bash event last October 10 in forum member Trace's residence. Kit Bash 3 is a combination AC model assembly, painting, model mash-up, and photo-op, members try to assemble model kits, paint them, and see which one fits with another, though the actual AC kit bash hasn't occurred yet (a true mix-match of parts resulting in an original creation hasn't materialized as of the moment). Of course, it wouldn't be complete w/o Japanese curry, the official food during an AC kit bash meet.
Anyway, pics of the model creations after the jump.
The Unsung Warrior
ORCA Brigade leader Maximillian Thermidor's personal NEXT is the next (pun definitely not intended) Armored Core to be immortalized in plastic model form, courtesy of model maker Kotobukiya. This kit is the twenty-seventh model to be produced for the Variable Infinity series, joining the likes of Supplice, White Glint and Noblesse Oblige from the Playstation 3 Armored Core games.
Thermidor's Rayleonard-based NEXT consists of most of the standard AALIYAH frame mounted on a pair of reverse-jointed ALICIA legs, the first RJs created so far in plamo form. Weapons include the MARVE assault rifle and the TRESOR plasma cannon, among others No shoulder parts on this one although it does come with a pair of leg-mounted stabilizers.
Unsung will be ready to fly the banners of ORCA and oppose the League's plans when it hits store shelves this coming January, 2010.
LEGO Armored Core
We have a bit of a LEGO theme going on here. But here's a nice change of pace: this one's actually related to Armored Core.
Flickr user bermudafreze's photostream sports a couple of recent shots of three ACs (one quad, two bipeds) made from LEGO. They're pretty detailed, and are mostly faithful to for Answer-era parts. See more after the jump.
