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.

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.

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.

Most Awesome Toy Robot Ever

Ladies and Gentlemen, the future is now. This is the little robot that could, and this video just shows what it is capable of. I’m willing to bet that some of you wished you have gotten this for Christmas, otherwise just watch in envy at what this little I-Sobot can do including slicing a dinosaur with a sword, and shooting various projectile weapons at different targets. Right now, I am only hoping that Santa remembers my request for one.

Volpin Props Make Me Salivate

AER9 Laser Rifle from Fallout 3

Show me a person who’s played Fallout 3, and I’ll show you someone who won’t be able to resist this AER9 Laser Rifle replica. Heck I’m sure even some of those who haven’t played the game won’t be able to resist this. Just look at it! It’s literally having the same damn thing (except it doesn’t fry people to charred skeletons). This one, along with many other video game-inspired swag, was created by Harrison “Volpin” Krix. More samples of his work and links after the jump.

You’d wanna see this, trust me.

Scratch-Built AC ‘Opening’ from AC:fA

No, we’re not dead. It’s just been a slow week.

This AC’s name is indeed Opening, which is Malzel’s AC from AC:FA, one of the high members of ORCA in the game. I was confused for a bit there, but do enjoy the look of this model created by Shinsa in FGsite. Equipped with scratch-built GA parts (except for the HOGIRE core) and a lot of heavy weapons (especially the BIGSIOUX large missiles and the YAMAGA grenade cannon), this is turning out to be my kind of AC. More pictures after the jump.

Scratch Built X-SOBRERO Armored Core Model

A scratch built SOBRERO AC from Armored Core: For Answer created by maro2501 in FGsite. It take a lot of skill and determination to pull this one off. Just look at the back mount quad chain-guns, who knows how much time were spent on making those and there are 2 of them! More pictures of this model after the jump.

The Armored Core Effect

Forum member J.E. Magog was busy creating these model images using an SLR camera, light painting, and a lot of creativity. The resulting images are nothing short of awesome.
