OPS INTENSIFY INTENSIFIES

Speaking of~ I have the Plum Cloud Breaker kit in my stash as well too

@@ZakuAurelius Yes! I'd love to see a review of that kit!

Thanks for the info!

MY CHILDHOOD!!!

Master of Arena

It's also in another century

Target Verified!, Commencing Hostilities! The very first time I'd faced Nine Ball Seraph, Was in Armored Core 2: Another Age. (Never managed to get a copy of Armored Core: Master of Arena)

In my experience, all Armored Core kits are hand grenade

Speaking of them, I'd love a Bloodborne 2.

Watch there be a unit shaped like Siegmeyer of Catarina in all his oniony glory.

I mean, they did put out that monster 20th anniversary OST box a couple years ago. 20 CDs worth of AC goodness. I pity the people who missed it. It's going for stupid money now.

@Churro Ninja wow such an original comment

@Churro Ninja** sarcasm **

Reissues have been confirmed! Bandai is also releasing a couple crossover kits for AC6 in their 30 Minute Missions line to play with 30MM and AC's shared customization aspects

Thanks!

I'm not sure if it's correct but I noticed that he installed the arm cannons backwards and missed them completely, which bugs me.

​​@@patrykjaskowski4226how dud it feel to get bugged by something, yet you were totally wrong?

But where are they? I can see the nozzle on the wrist is likely for the built in moonlight blades but apparently there are also machine guns and pulse guns somewhere in there

Built them last weekend and will review soon!

The 4 answer kits are pretty good im super happy with the stasis kit

You have to treat AC kits like statues. A lot of mistake that people make when moving from Gundam to AC is that they think Koto kits are more durable, but they're not. Koto kits are really fragile and for that fragility, you get some of the best color part separation and detail on plastic. I started on AC kit and then moved onto Gundam so even with Gunpla I still treat them with care like if they were AC kits.

Well, thats just kotobukiya for ya. Also another note for the early AC kits, apparently the joints do *not* last long at all until it becomes loose. Yeah, not fun. But AC kits/figures are a rarity since its kindofa niche genre amongst mechas (Like Votoms & Front Mission) so... P.S; Tho i have to admit, i only have one 3rd-Gen AC kit; Cascade Range (BlackJack) from ACLRs VR arena. (Which is actually shown in the vid @ 1:44, right next to Seraph) But even then i am familiar with how fragile they are. Kinda speaks for itself :/ Or maybe thats just because it was an oooold, out of production kit. Newer kits might be better (Like the Glint and whatever those are from AC5/VD) P.P.S; Also, idk if its just Cascade Range, but it seems like they have unnecessary complexity and a PLETHORA of *reeally* small parts. For seemingly no reason at all... Not fun (2)

@@rinjaniii326 I'm an old school AC fan myself. I prefer Gen 1 to Gen 3 (PS1-PS2 era) AC designs over Gen 4 and Gen 5 designs.

I get that but just don’t find it appealing. Between the three colors it’s like a 60/20/20 mix, I prefer more like 60/30/10

I have two

Already did the gaea, uranus, and got the white glint, but theres gonna be more

Technically speaking the nineballs are related the OG is the nineball seraph, the Nineball standard AC is just the "downgraded" arsenal of the Seraph by using "standard" AC parts (you can get the weapons but the AC itself is custom) by no means its a downgrade though as the Pilot of both units is still Hustler One, the AC2 arsenal of the ordinary nineball and seraph are more or less the same, Moonlight blade, Multi missile, Pulse machine gun on the palms and a rapid grenade launcher when in "jet" form, the only thing it deviates is the ACE:R incarnation where it has a laser cannon rather than perhaps a grenade launcher

Most older Kotobukiya plamo are really hard to get, cuz they won't do any reissue

I don’t know if you already know but there’s a re release and you can preorder off usagundam

its worth it

the advance of zeta and medabots are made by the same artist by the way

I think krow might have.....

I would love Kotobukiya to reprint their Medabot model kits again. Missed out on Metabee when he came out, and now he being asked for at ludicrous prices.

Yeah, I think that’s more to do with the kits being accurate to the games. AFAIK none of the opening cinematics for any of the games showed warning labels or other small details like that on ACs.

@@Brawler_1337 Yea, I guess so, some of the kits do have parts with the Raven's emblem on their shoulder pieces

Do all white people look and sound similar to you? They're nothing alike lol

technically no this is the OG NB Seraph as the ACE:R Seraph has the Drone? or Exceed Units wing binders on the shoulder

Before Another Century's Episode: R came, there was Armored Core: Master of Arena where Nine-Ball Seraph appeared first.

Starting to build that tonight

I know of that review (white glint VOB), hurts to think that kits potential will never be realized...

May i ask who that person is? lol

@@rinjaniii326 I believe there talking about mechagaikotsu who swing a AC leg down with force While saying its so delicate

@@MrCarlos9367 Yip. I saw that already couple of hours ago. And well, he does have his reasons on saying that its....pretty bad. Heck not even my old out of production Cascade Range kit was anywhere near how bad Glint's kit was. From the colors and just pure rigidity. And im pretty much a caveman in terms of kit building skills/handling compared to him Then again, i guess we have to consider that this is (afaik) coming from someone who has probably spent most of his time with high-end bandai kits, so his "rage" is kinda understandable lol Tho he did go overboard with how he handled that leg part i think. He just "cranked" the whole leg just to show off the feet, no wonder it snapped 🤣 Also you have to remember that this is Koto kits were talking about, so yeah... Imma need sum coffee

Understandable! So I try to do both 😉

Was it even good? I heard it was so easy that there was no real thought that had to be put into customization

Do you have any clue how plastic manufacturing works? Im guessing not by your answer haha. Getting those hundreds of parts to fit correctly is harder than youd think. Immagine this: kotobukiya is in japan and their factory is in china. The designer in japan designs the modelkit and then the first tests get made in china and send to japan. Meanwhile the people at the factory will be taking a look at the testshots too and, in advance already adjust some stuff. Then the guys in japan get their test print. They test it and then send what they want to adjust back to the chinese factory. Then they aply the adjustments of both to the mold (making a mold costs bandai around 10.000 dollars apparently) and make a new testprint. But the adjustments might cause other issues so they need to make another testshot and this gets repeated a couple times. Then, say they want to make the red plastic slightly more red or something. So they add more/different pigment to the plastic, but that changes the cooling process and how thick or thin the part might end up etc etc etc. Theres a lot more of those kinda things that all affect the fit of the endproduct. All of this takes a lot of time and back and forth communication so they usually can only afford a couple of these test prints per product and then it HAS to go out the door. You can probably assume bandai "throws a lot more money away" on making lots of test shots and making sure shit fits wel together and because they are such a succesfull company theyve got enough money to make it work like that, not to mention the fact that they have their own factory located in japan. Most other modelkit companies cant afford that luxury.

no

Char would probably drool on this AC 😅

far from it....

Big Fac- 😲 no way!

Apparently it’s related to the game canon, the mech doesn’t use handheld weapons. I can appreciate companies making the kits according to canon, that’s always interesting, but having something as simple as a set of holding hands would have been nice too, yes
