Model Kit","summary":"Kotobukiya is taking preorders for a 1/72 scale plastic model kit of the Crest CR-C75U2 Delta Ver., a quad-legged unit from the game Armored Core 3. The kit is the fourth entry in the revival production project of the Variable Infinity Series. It has a total height of about 160mm and is priced at 9,900 yen including tax. The preorder deadline is October 27, and the release is set for February 2027. The design includes shoulder chain guns (CR-WB69CG) on both shoulders and weapon-arm machine guns (CR-WA69MG), armaments that the product description says deliver overwhelming firepower in close combat. Each of the four CR-LF93A2 legs moves independently, a feature intended to reproduce the movement seen in the game. A Kotobukiya Shop limited bonus adds an additional armament parts set. Preordering by the deadline guarantees the kit.","whyItMatters":"Kotobukiya's Variable Infinity Series revival reaches its fourth release with a quad-legged Armored Core 3 unit, a configuration that is uncommon in the line's current output.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe kit is the fourth entry in the Variable Infinity Series reissue project and marks a return to Armored Core 3 units.
