You may not like it but this is peak GA performance. EDIT: For Armored Core kits don't expect wide range of articulations from them because in the original games they relies mostly on boosters for faster movements. Walking and jumping is something you only do when you are bad at energy management. If you're interested future Armored Core kits reviews, I'd recommend these following: Aaliyah or Alicia Unsung (They are mostly the same kit with different legs and weapons), White Glint (4 Answer ver + V.O.B backpack) and UCR-10/A Vengeance (BIG FUCKING GRINDING CHAINSAWS RIPPING EVERYTHING OPEN).

That is a bazooka my friend, and yes please! Do more armored core kit reviews, I still need to build my white glint vob movie set kit, but as a huge fan of the series it's nice to see you review these kits

The variation in design is pretty impressive in armored core. Try something from hogire or Rosenthal, they're way different from the bulky GA builds.

I am a huge fan of armored core. I've built 6 now, counting this one, and your review of it actually pushed me to get it. I bought this one because I was looking for a VI kit that would properly facilitate the style of the Armored Core V Grind Blade. I will say, the two kits DO NOT fit properly at all, and it was only through some very desperate connections that I was able to put the two together. They do work, however. As a huge fan of the AC series as well as Gundam, Zoids, Frame Arms, Hexa Gear and many other resin kits, I can say that of all the kits I have, Koto's Hexa Gear and AC VI line of models are similar in ratio of sturdiness to handgrenade. I've built the Alicia White Pearl, Alicia Unsung, Sunshine Feedback, Sunshine L, Stasis and Ambient. If you are fond of the amount of detail in this kit, you would be blown away at the amount of detail packed into Ambient and White Pearl.

I want to get one of these for me . it looks like an Abrahans tank with legs . It would be nice to do it in desert colors , and add tank details to it .

Aaliyah is a pretty good armor core kit. It can stand on one leg because of its big data. One thing I don't like is the leg stabilizers, there to flimsy.

it really does look like somebody attached arms and legs onto a tank chassis.

I know I'm a bit late to this party, but I gotta say I generally enjoy Kotobukiya kits more than Bandai ones. With Bandai I'm always left wanting... _something_ more from the experience. Bandai kits tend to straddle the line between model kit and action figure in awkward ways, leaning this way or that at bizarre points in construction, design, etc. Sometimes the engineers get overzealous and just... make something complex just to prove they can. Kotobukiya kits, on the other hand, tend to be much more straight forward. This part looks like this because of that and goes here because of there. They tend to have a more consistent design ethos. Maybe that ethos changes slightly from kit line to kit line and project to project, but as I put a kit together, I get the sense that everyone on the... "Kotobukiya Model Kit Production Team" or whatever are on the same page, and everyone involved in creating this kit or that kit had a shared vision for what they wanted and executed to achieve it. The end result is something that might not be an engineering master class or super articulated or this or that the way Bandai kits can be, but it's also something that doesn't feel like it's simultaneously being pulled in ten different directions.I build a Bandai kit and I come out of it wanting to fix this little aspect, or that little aspect. I build a Kotobukiya kit and I come out of it feeling satisfied.

I just watched this video and until recently I didn't know they had kits from that game series. I actually used to play it building balanced units from different parts and using both melee and gun weapons

Thanks for the review, I'd been eyeing this kit for a while. Will probably get the feedback version down the line instead. I actually started model kits on the variable infinity AC line, as i was a fan of the games. While bandai will almost always have the better gimmicks and stability in their kits, the sheer amount of detail in the AC line is pretty impressive. Most of them have a couple fragile detail parts/accessories, and some tend to fall apart, but they're certainly nice display pieces and really accurate to the game models. I'd objectively recommend checking out Ambient, Barbaroi, AC1 Nineball, White Glint AC4 ver. and White Glint + VOB. Pretty stable, good detail. Subjectively i love the design of Unsung but it falls apart a lot. Noblesse Oblige was my first so it's got a special place in my heart.

Yoooo an AC review!! I need to get around to building my AC kits... Armored Core fun facts: The whole point of the Armored Core franchise is the customization. The longer connection piece for the missile pod is probably there for other core types that might have the connection point lower, like maybe the TELLUS. The missile pods won't fit on the shoulders because they are Back Weapons, there are specific Shoulder Weapons for those connection points lol. The additional hidden boosters are part of the Overboost System. Feedback is the custom SUNSHINE-L from the character Roadie in Armored Core For Answer

Try to build Nine Ball Seraph.

Praise Vishnu, normal audio!

I have the Noblesse Oblige kit and it's one of my favorites, I'd reccomend that one definitely

May you be intrested in Alicia Unsung? It looks lot more flashy, since youre more into Gundams.

I LOVE ARMERD CORRRREEE!!!!!!! I want it !!! Didn't even know there were AC kits up until now

I love this design! Realistic! If you don't want to glue those falling pieces just make the pegs thicker with a micro drop of cyanoacrilic glue.

Don't know anything about Armored Core either (wish I did) but it seem's like alot of people recommend the White Glint, pretty cool looking

I like the unique design especially the legs

This would look great with weathering and decals, maybe some Ma.k inspired paint scheme

SunshineL! i own the rayleonard Alicia pearl white and it was a fresh build from all the usual bandai gunpra.

After the kotobukiya month is it possible for you to be able to get your hands on a kainar kit?

In game you can give it 4 legs are tank tracks but its not fast it march and the rocket launchers they lift up to fire the arms can change out for cannons are minigun if im not mistaken was a fun game

Really nice kit. It would look great after meeting some Tamiya weathering master effects and a topcoat.

Review the mirage c01-gaea it’s pretty good the little turret things on it there barrels break of to easily but the rest is good it has a good range of articulation and it looks pretty good

Some of the other AC Kit's are Grenades lol but this one is one of the better built kit's. I have the Feedback which is pretty solid.

This fits well with 1/100 Gundam 00 S1 kits since this looks like a detailed version of the Tieren.

Oh baby a double

I've always wanted to build an AC kit, especially the Aaliyah and this one

It's a cool figure Bro

I love Armored Core!

Do a review of the white glint vob

Audio fixed. Yeah!

Looks like MSJ-06II-A Tieren Ground Type

ITS FIXED!!!!

DAMN HE THICK!

Really thank you for reviewing this kit armored Core is sort of a really hidden gym I can understand you not liking the designs but those are the default designs it's all about customization and what you can do with what you have I really hope you do review the other models as well I look forward to seeing you come up with your own if you do decide to start going into these units yet again though I have to suggest the white glint with vob backpack unit However if you don't want to check that one out I still suggest the Aaliyah it was probably my first favorite followed closely by white glint in the series of armored Core 4 + 4 answer the Aaliyah is quite iconic if you ask me

More AC please!

And i'm still waiting for kotobukiya re-issue armored core weapon unit 03.

The chest makes him look like he turns in to a tank.

Best 4th gen design

Do lahire stasis please

Oh man Zaku's lack of AC knowledge doesn't do this review justice buy mah god despite hating how GA's Nexts look the model kit does it justice.

please...more AC kits review

You'd think that he'd go for one of the sleeker 4th gen NEXT ACs or a Nineball Seraph instead of this, specially for someone who likes traditional Gunpla but doesn't like AC designs.

Can this kit be used to with Frame Arms

nostalgic, i miss playing AC 2 in ps1 XD

damn I hoped it would be bigger, still a nice figure tho

The holes on the shoulders are actually side boosters.

Aw no echo butt I like it when gaster sings echo

WE NEED MORE AC REVIEWS! Check out alicia unsung Mr. Zak

I'm torn between this one and Feedback

from what ac game?

Yyyeeeessssss

Darn no more echo

It is funny right,when Bandai Namco game but kit buy Kotobukiya 🤣

MEGATRON...

This looks like it belong to Front Mission. Looks more like a Wanzer than an AC. Tell me what i didnt know. Is this suupposed to be an MT or something? That could make more sense in AC.
