SDCC 06: Kotobukiya Has an "Armored Core"


New plastic model kits receive upgrades...

On display at this year's SDCC were Kotobukiya's two fine scale model kits based on the popular video game Armored Core as well as many other amazing products and figures.

The two Armored Core models - CREST CR-C90U3 and MIRAGE C01-GAEA - were both ready for action with new Weapon Units, a new feature added this year to allow fans the ability to customize their models.
