Alter 1/60 ARX-7 Arvalest

Back again with the new stuff, today is for mecha action figure.... :D
Finally, fans of the popular anime series; Full Metal Panic’s ARX7 – Arbalest has been revealed. Coming from Alter and is set in 1/60 scale, it is slated to be release on May 2009 though just exactly on which month has yet to be announced. Click on ‘read more’ to see more images of the prototype model built by Alter.

Alter ARX-7 Arbalest from the anime Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid is a Generation 3 arm slave with an experimental Lambda Drive. In the story the Lamda drive gives supernatural abilty to the arm slave, making it a 1 man army.

Alter has replicate this iconic mecha from the series with very high detailed in 15cm or about 5 inch action figure.

Anyway the good news, is that Alter is still releasing the ARX-7 Arbalest on May. The bad news? Alter is still selling it at 13,440 Yen (inclusive of tax) and the typo error on the display base. Seems like Double’s fear is really coming true after all, where he first reported it on ‘What The Heck? ARX-7 Arvalest?‘ It’s definitely a bad news for us who are going to splash out 13,440Yen ( estimated to be around $126US dollars according to XE.com )on this baby. Let us all keep our fingers cross and hope that it’s a genuine mistake on Alter’s side and they’ll rectify this before they sell them to us.

The gauntlet has been run through as we've had releases for Final Fantasy VII, VIII, X, X-2, XI, XII, and the two Kingdom Hearts games. Notice something missing? Well, that hole in the lineup is about to be filled as Final Fantasy IX will see its first figures being released this August.

Based on Square Enix's Final Fantasy IX, the last of the Final Fantasy series released on the original Sony PlayStation, these Final Fantasy IX Play Arts Action Figures bring the game's protagonists to life. The game's hero Zidane, his love, the Princess Garnet, and his friend, the enigmatic Vivi, are sculpted by the artists of Square Enix and feature detailed sculpts and game accurate accessories. Window box packaging.
