What with all of the mannequin kits on the best way for Armored Core VI, we even have some toys too. With the most recent being of one other boss from the top of the sport.
There are three endings to Armored Core VI; unhealthy, good and true. The primary Robotic Damashii toy introduced from Bandai Spirits was from the unhealthy ending and was the IB-07: SOL 644 piloted by Ayre. It appears to be like like a pleasant and beefy toy, however solely round a 3rd of gamers even beat it.
The newest toy announcement is from the nice ending of the sport (proven under) and is the HAL 826 armored core piloted by Handler Walter. This was really the ending I received on my first playthrough. This design was additionally overtly confirmed to have been designed by Shoji Kawamori, and it’s really certainly one of my favourite mecha designs within the recreation.
Nonetheless, that is one more finish recreation boss. If we have a look at the achievement stats for the Liberator of Rubicon trophy, we see that on the PlayStation solely 34.81% of gamers received it. For Xbox players, the determine is even decrease at 27% and gamers on Steam had been a bit higher at 36.35%.
Which means the bulk of people that performed Armored Core VI, of which these toys are clearly meant for, is not going to have even seen this boss within the recreation. So I actually don’t get what the merchandising technique is right here.
On the toy itself, it appears to be like incredible. It comes with the total loadout of weapons, that of the Coral Rifle, Coral Oscillator, Coral Missile Launcher and Coral Protect. You additionally get the overheat setup in full impact as effectively, which is fairly cool.
Whereas this determine doesn’t seem like all that huge, the complexity and variety of the equipment included in addition to the assorted gimmicks will make the engineering extra concerned. To not point out the insanely wonderful sculpt and detailing. The results of all these is that the worth is fairly steep for a Robotic Damashii determine, coming in at 19,250 yen (or round $120).
My solely actual grievance is that the paint scheme is so much shinier than I used to be anticipating. Within the recreation (proven under), the coloring is way extra subdued. That apart, it appears to be like superb and spot on to the sport.
Launched this November in Japan, I shall be positively be choosing this up, however I want we had extra common designs from the sport given the Robotic Damashii and even the chogokin therapy.
Armored Core VI is obtainable to play on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Collection X|S, Xbox One and PC. Be happy to take a look at my overview of the sport, as it’s genuinely wonderful.
