It's a weird choice, tho. This kit feels more like a HG than a 30MM kit. IDK why Bandai branded these AC6 kits as 30MM without the exact compatibility with other 30MM kits 🤷♂️
@@alfianfahmi5430 They chose it because the armoured core kits are meant to be combined so that you can make your own AC. Simmilar to how 30mm kits are meant to be compatible with each other.
These kits don’t have a official scale. But with Armored Core bipeds being around the 10-12m mark, they are around 1/100 and approximately to scale with a MG.
As big and impressive the Kotobukiya kits are for AC, Bandai engineering on these new kits is a massive positive. I hope Bandai does eventually make some more of the older ACs as well, like the Noblesse Oblige and White Glint.
check the 30MM channel live stream! they did reveal that there will be more Armored Core products later down the line! If I am remember correctly there will be a green color armored core with 4 legs 😅 and add-on sold separately weapons option parts for armored core 💸💸
@@myhonestopinion3334 Unfortunately it seems that the ACs are all from AC6 that are currently planned... the Noblesse and Glint are from earlier AC games
I wish bandai went full force with these and gave them a proper MG or RG treatment, they kinda threw it into their cheap kits line with really bad plastic similar to the code geass kits which is a shame
@@MechaGaikotsu Well they despirately need to be taken away from Koto, since they still use old polycaps and won't do a 2.0 that doesn't break like what was seen in your review.
@@LoliconSamalikdude koto plastic are fine, pretty good even, its just that the vob white glint in particular that have really bad plastic. Plus koto stuff gets reprinted with better quality control too and the new stuff have better quality in general
@LoliconSamalik from what I've seen, koto is very good nowadays and have improved alot since their older kits so I think their AC6 kits are gonna be very good.
Fun Fact: The ALBA stuff for Steel Haze was literally designed by Takayuki Yanase who did the designs for most of 00, Gundam X and Witch from Mercury's units. So if you've got a whole bunch of 00 or Witch From Mercury Kits you could probably make a really close lookalike. It's mainly just the Head and Shoulders that would require either scratch building or some 3D Print work, and the chest you could probably get away with Barbatos and/or Gundam Aerial. I think it's actually one of the more doable ones to make work with Gundam and 30 Minute Missions parts, for the frame at least.
I really hope bandai gets a full license for AC. As koto hasn't done a good job with their ac kits in their whole line. While I would prefer a full 1/100 scale. This one is one awesome step to the line.
Hey bro, Im a big fan, im new to gunpla and was looking to get into mg. Which one do you recommend? Ive already built the command wan t desert type and the RG eva unit 1. Thanks!
Give the kits their own ranking system of Rummy, Iguazu, Carla, Rusty, and Raven. The 30MM kits are their own beasts, they definitely deserve ranking, if all of the AC's are going to be included.
I do hope Bandai gets license on other AC games considering this one is more solid than the Kotobukiya ones would love to see White Glint and Nineball Seraph in this line
Sold out everywhere in my area (Kobe/Osaka) but got lucky at a Bookoff way out in the country side. I picked up the last two Steel haze and Orbiter for retail price. Even Amazon JP has resellers asking for double the price. I expect these to be overpriced commodities for some time.
i really wish they would make MG sized AC kits. These are just too small for me, though I do see if you where to paint these kits, they would look amazing.... just small
I hope we'll see some tetrapods and tank legs kits, very little of the main characters use them in game but it's such a unique aspect of armored core compared to other mech universes, it would be a shame not to have them available. edit : just checked, G1 Michigan AC's (Liger Tail) is available, so that's one tetrapod !
Armored Core is awesome! Fires of Rubicon was so much fun - they should really do a content expansion or sequel. I hope we get most/all of the ACs from AC6 as model kits.
25:23 It doesn't bend in game either. The nacht legs are regular bipeds, meaning they only gave the one knee. The part with the piston doesn't move at all
@@MechaGaikotsu Imagine if they remastered and localized Another Century's Episode games, that'd be like the closest we could get to a Gundam and AC crossover project haha
I wish someone would release kits from the original PS1 and PS2 games. I liked the beefier simpler designs of that period. The Shoji Kawamori period is in my opinion far better in terms of style.
I would much prefer some high quality figures rather than model kits. I don't want to have to panel line it myself, or colour the eyes... Some nice metal frame figures, made to the same quality and scale as the Moshow Toys Progenitor Effect series would be awesome.
Give me a 1/60 scale model of that PCA helicopter Bandai. [The scale conversion in 1:60 is 1.33m (H) × 3.16m (W) × 3.86m (L)]. GIMME THAT MODEL KIT BANDAI!
Personally I think Steel Haze is a much cooler looking AC and way more deserving of being the main character AC than Nightfall or LOADER 4. Steel Haze also gives me serious White Glint vibes (both AC4 and ACfA). I still VANT the Alba parts as they are my favorite parts in the whole game.
This looks amazing. But my once concern about these kits is the same issue I've had with every previous attempt at making Armored Core kits: They release the boxart AC and one or two "rival" ACs, and "Weapons Pack 01". ...And that's it. The one thing I want out of AC kits is to make MY AC, and I'm sure others are the same way. They need to release the FULL line of parts, and hopefully because it's Bandai this time, they might pull that off.
Seriously? I preorder Nightfall Raven months in advance and the second it releases, they suddenly are out of stock and on back order... Does this happen often with Hobbylink Japan or was I just unlucky here? Either way, it's good to see Rusty getting the due he's rightfully earned. Now, I eagerly await the day... We see a True Raven take flight.
I crunched some numbers and it’s kinda convoluted since ACs are canonically much smaller than mobile suits A source said Loader 4/Nightfall is around 10.3 m tall - and the kit itself is 130mm in height so 10,300 / 130 = 79.23 times smaller than the real deal A bit of a funky size but it’ll do for now
Can you panel line this model kit, it would be great if we could see the panel lined of the Steel Haze model kit. I was thinking of buying AC model kits since the release of Steel Haze and Nightfall(both AC from 30MM), thanks!
I currently have 2 Gundams on the shelf and when I was assembling them, I thought it gonna be so cool if we have AC6 kits also. And today I saw this video on yt right after I played Armored Core. Such a cool video, gonna buy this Rusty kit for my own birthday coming next April. Hope there will be more AC model released soon.
Oh, good, u got one. All my pre-orders on HLJ have got straight to back orders for the last 3 months. All of them, if they are Bandai. 😢 Is anyone else having the same problem?
I'm so excited to build suits I created and used. I'm laughing at how the paint will be easy as well because I did black with a small amount of silver, with blue or red lights during my play-through. Is it weird that for these AC kits I'm happy I can haphazardly paint these? I'm usually stressing when I'm doing paint corrections on gunpla.... I usually just paint to get color accuracy since I'm a fan of the source material.
Overall I think these are 30 mm kits and not HG kits. HG kits have more playability and gimmicks. 30mm are more focused on being detailed affordable model kits. It is very nice to see more color separation on this one. Really looking forward to seeing this one painted. I’m sure we will see more cross compatibility between the specific AC 30mm kits
Pre-ordered both of the 30MM AC kits as well as the Duel Blitz and Lightning Buster within 6 hours of the pre-orders opening on HLJ, still missed every one. 😢
Glad i watched this before i got and built mine, now i know to superglue the shoulder connector parts togegther so they dont try and come apart while posing. Also, that plastic on plastic for sed joint, getting FMP M9 Gernsback shoulder shield flashbacks.
man if only resellers in my country doesn't bring up the price up to $80 (i'm not kidding, the downpayment for this kit is like 30 bucks in my country and full price can go up to $80 it's ridiculous)
Again every time I see steel haze I Always Scream I want this but I have to wait a good couple more weeks until It pops up on Amazon moderately in price because seeing the Orbiter cost 102 dollars was a goddamn heart attack. Thank God the pricing is going down but seriously what are you doing Amazon? Really though I'm impressed that this still looks really really solid even with some small hiccups here and there and I can already tell the back weapons are gonna get some great use with specific model kits in mind, especially the Zowart line. With how well done steel Haze is looking, I think we can safely say that these are definitely better than the Kotobukiya line because at least it doesn't explode so definitely excited to get this first first since I got to rep Rusty.
that amount of surface detail should be the norm, or maybe another line of gunpla, since HG is kind of "anime accurate", gundams with this amount of surface detail could be some kind of RG-lite or HG+, insane panel lines, simple construction
I do hope Bandai eventually go on to make every weapon found in the game so that we can truly have our own line of AC kits to build our own. I would also love to see the IB-C03: HAL 826 done in a model kit sometime down the line too.
I had an open order since march and still didn't get them. But that just led me to ordering G1 and 621. Hopefully they come back in the same time frame so I can order them all together. And if not I will just ad whatever comes next too.
Wouldve been great to have working pistons, but i suppose that’s asking for too much. As long as it articulates as much as the in game mechs, then I’ll be satisfied.
I wonder if they’re this size so that they scale well with the Armored Core 2 action figures from way back when. I have a couple of them, so I bet they’ll look great together.
@@mau7522 they aren’t in scale with typical HG kits though ACs are much smaller than Gundams. Most ACs being around 10 meters tall, where Mobile Suits are averaged around 18 meters. Yet a HG RX-78-2 is smaller than Steel Haze, which should be at the Gundam’s hips. These AC figures are still a bit too big to be in scale with MG, but way too small to be in scale with PG.
@@Automata_Eve Yeah I know they aren't the same scale, I'm just saying that bandai generally seems to like the size of the hg gundam kits and whenever they do kits for other franchises they are around the same size, for example the macross kits are 1/100 but look good next to other hg kits

They are around 1/144 Nu Gundam size.

Actually the nachtreiher legs are bipedal and not reverse jointed, I suppose the piston is for when the metal bends with pressure.
I really love the lightweight legs of Steel Haze. I stuck with it from the moment I obtained it to end of my AC6 playthrough.
Any time I used a light AC I was blown to smithereens in seconds

Cant wait for the tetrapods, they look so cool
They look awesome, I hope they do the entire roster
I love these 30mm kits. Being a fan of gundams and armored core, it will end up being part of my collection. Sure. Greetings from Spain.
Imagine if Mamoru Nagano didn't burn bridges with Bandai for Kodansha. We could have had some Five Star Stories Kits by now.
I do hope Bandai eventually go on to make every weapon found in the game so that we can truly have our own line of AC kits to build our own.
I would also love to see the IB-C03: HAL 826 done in a model kit sometime down the line too.
I had an open order since march and still didn't get them. But that just led me to ordering G1 and 621. Hopefully they come back in the same time frame so I can order them all together. And if not I will just ad whatever comes next too.
Wouldve been great to have working pistons, but i suppose that’s asking for too much.
As long as it articulates as much as the in game mechs, then I’ll be satisfied.
I wonder if they’re this size so that they scale well with the Armored Core 2 action figures from way back when. I have a couple of them, so I bet they’ll look great together.
I think it's just supposed to be similar to a standard hg kit, but it's nice to know they look good next to the old figures
@@mau7522 they aren’t in scale with typical HG kits though ACs are much smaller than Gundams. Most ACs being around 10 meters tall, where Mobile Suits are averaged around 18 meters. Yet a HG RX-78-2 is smaller than Steel Haze, which should be at the Gundam’s hips. These AC figures are still a bit too big to be in scale with MG, but way too small to be in scale with PG.
@@Automata_Eve Yeah I know they aren't the same scale, I'm just saying that bandai generally seems to like the size of the hg gundam kits and whenever they do kits for other franchises they are around the same size, for example the macross kits are 1/100 but look good next to other hg kits
@@mau7522 I’m kind of a perfectionist, so them being next to each other wouldn’t look good to me.
