Rosenthal CR-HOGIRE Noblesse Oblige Full Package Version

As an Armored Core fan, I'm delighted to see that Kotobukiya is reissuing their plastic kits. Recently, they announced BFF 063AN Ambient, which is still available for pre-order and set to be released in June next year. Make sure to grab it before it's gone!

The latest entry in their reissue lineup is the Rosenthal CR-HOGIRE Noblesse Oblige Full Package Version, which will be released much earlier in March next year. It's worth noting that there were two different releases back then - the Rosenthal CR-HOGIRE Gun-Metal ver. (Limited) and the Rosenthal CR-HOGIRE Noblesse Oblige. The full package will bundle all the weapon equipment set and retail for 9,800 YEN.

In my opinion, this is a smart move by Kotobukiya, and the price for an MG-size kit is reasonable. However, I'm hesitant to get one since I've already ordered too much for next year!

Armored Core VI Heading to The Robot Spirits

 

Wow, this is unexpected! I never thought Bandai would license Armored Core VI to create action figures. The first release by Kotobukiya, the Decoction Models RAYLEONARD 03-AALIYAH SUPPLICE action figure, is already available for purchase at a hefty price of 52,800 YEN. It's definitely not affordable for everyone due to its high price tag. I believe many fans of AC are looking for an affordable option, but Bandai's market price is not significantly different. However, it is still good to see AC getting some action figure treatment.

If you're curious about whether or not Kotobukiya will still be producing Armored Core VI model kits, rest assured that they announced in May 2023 that they will indeed be continuing to make them. Kotobukiya has a rich history of creating Armored Core model kits, with their Variable Infinity line dating back to around 2005, close to the release of Armored Core Nexus. Keep an eye out for the prototype on the next Hobby Show's official website.

Armored Core Reissue - ALGEBRA SOLUH BARBAROI

Great news for Armored Core fans! Kotobukiya has announced that Algebra Soluh Barbaroi will be reissued next year in April, making it the fourth announcement of its kind. It's frustrating to only see one reissue of AC model kits per month while Kotobukiya prioritizes reissuing Hexa Gear model kits. The Ghost in the Shell SAC Tachikoma and Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo's reissue of Evangelion 13 will be released in the same month.

Fan-Made: Super Robot War - Armored Core

Take a look at this impressive fan-made Armored Core animation video done in the style of Super Robot Wars.

I hope you didn't miss the chance to pre-order the reissued AC model kits in Japan! Additionally, Armored Core 6 is releasing soon, so make sure to place your order on Amazon for PS4, PS5, and Xbox.

Three AC Model Kits Reissue Next Year

Kotobukiya announced three Armored Core model kits to be reissued next year from different series. Each of them will be released in a separate month. This is a piece of very good news for those who are still looking for these kits. Getting these kits in Japan is currently very outrageous hard and the price currently jack up very bad. Can you even imagine the Mandarake marketplace selling Lineark White Glint and CO3 Malicious R.I.P.3/M Blue Magnolia Version between 14,500-16,000 YEN? Hanged Man Rematch Ver. has the most insane price selling at 30,000 YEN. Hopefully, we will see more reissues taking place next year since the Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon Collector Edition (PS4/5 and XBOX) will be launching around the world in August this year. This will definitely help to drive down the scalper price.

 I am quite curious if Kotobukiya going to make a model kit for the latest title.

Kotobukiya Announced New High-End Masterpiece - Decoction Models (DM) for Armored Core Series

Kotobukiya announced and introduced a new high-end masterpiece kit product, Decoction Models (DM). The Armored Core, Rayleonard 03-AALIYAH Supplice, will be the first model kit released next year. The model kit is larger than its previous generation, it will have LED unit parts, improved articulation, and many detailed gimmick parts around the body.

No price announced yet, but we all know it's going to burn our pockets because we already know how expensive Kotobukiya model kits can be in the market. Still, I am very pleased to see them stepping up their game for the Armored Core series. It really took them quite long enough.

Armored Core NEXT - Rayleonard 03-Aaliyah Supplice OP Ver.

Armored Core NEXT - Rayleonard 03-Aaliyah originally released in the year 2007 and decided to reissue again due to its popularity. This time around, it will come different packaging releases in June this year and bundle with additional weapons and parts. There are no newly created parts and changes to the existing production. However, the new pre-order pricing now costs 7,500 YEN which is higher compared to the previous last reissue standard version 4,200 YEN.

MATSUKAZE mdl.2 拠点防衛仕様 Kotobukiya Shop Limited

Pfff...To be honest, I didn't expect Kotobukiya would list 18,800 YEN for MATSUKAZE mdl.2 拠点防衛仕様 and rather the most expensive of all Armored Core series ever release on august 2015. Don't get me wrong, it was indeed going to be huge and great when proper assemble. Die hard AC fan surely won't mind shelling out this money.

The Kotobukiya Shop Limited version will include one of the bonus mounting converter items to allow attaching previous Armored Core series which you can see the photos below.
