Recently kotobukiya released a series of model kits based on the very popular video game Armored Core 3 for the playstation 2 console. Kotobukiya has always been know for it's highly detailed and perfect execution of action figures and statues, so the expectations are high for this new line of model kits. As if that weren't already enough, the structural design of the robots come from the one and only shoji kawamori, The mechanical designer of Macross and Masterpice Starscream.
AC-001 mirage C01-Gaea model kit, or AC-001 to make it short, is an armored unit based on the design of the mecha with the same name. AC-001 is a Snap-on model kit, which particularly means no glue is required to stick the parts together. The model kit comes in a sealed box. Inside are 12 sets of spruces ( 11 for parts and 1 for the connector ) and a detailed manual that will help you assemble the armored unit.. the only catch is it's written in japanese, but you don't have to worry about that matter because you do not required to learn how to read japanese because the illustrations are well detailed.
You can move the parts of the armored unit, so that you can choose poses you want.
The Sculpture is excellent, it's better than the one you see in the game plus it looks really really cool!
My conclusion:
This model kit is for hardcore robot hobbyist, or for solid armored core fans. You must have an experience in modeling and maintenance, You don't want to waste a fortune right?!
