Armored Core 1/72 scale model kits by Kotobukiya


Recommended Posts

Not sure if this has been discussed here, but I thought I'd share these.

I built these 9 kits in about a week. Finall finished them all this past Monday. Worked on them everyday nonstop, obsessively :lol: . They're all stock, nothing was customized or painted. Photos aren't the best, but still, check'em out:

awesome! I´ve always been a fan of Kawamori AC designs.

Now, where can I get these and how much for them !?

I bought them all from HLJ. Here is the link: Armored Core injection model kits

I'm sure you can find some other online retailers that carry them too.

The thing that really impressed me was how detailed these models are. I'm not a big fan of the AC games, but I can certainly appreciate a well designed modern robot :D .

Another nice feature is that you can swap parts around (head, torso, arms, legs, weapons). The scale is also perfect. I'm really digging these robots!

I've got a few of the Action figures that came out a few years ago. I was thinking of getting the models, but wasn't sure if they are in the same scale. Seeing your pictures has made up my mind, are these kits snap fit and pre-coloured? I'm just too lazy to glue and paint these days, not that I was any good at it.

Cool, I've always wanted to see these kits unpainted-they don't look too bad. The Selena looks nice; I always did like the AC heavies. Too bad Koto doesn't have any love for the 4-leggers.

In the case of the SELENAs, the robot didn't impress me til it was finally assembled. And a more diverse selection of robots would be welcomed :) .

I bought one of those action figures too. They're of lesser quality, I think, made of soft PVC and a bit too heavy to hold some poses. The action figures are the same scale as these model kits.

The model kits are pre-colored, no painting required unless you want to customize them personally. They're all snap fit, and only a few parts will require glue, mostly the extremely tiny parts. I didn't use model glue on those tiny parts because that type of glue is always a messy experience. I used another sticky substance that doesn't run off but is sticky enough and clean enough to work with.

As far as being lazy, well, I had a rush building these kits ^_^ .
