Kotobukiya Reissues Crest CR-C75U2 Delta Model From ARMORED CORE 3
A reprint of a licensed FromSoftware mecha kit matters less as a collectible than as a sign that Kotobukiya is still filling gaps in the V.I. Series back catalog rather than leaving older ARMORED CORE units to aftermarket prices.

Kotobukiya's V.I. Series 1/72 Crest CR-C75U2 Delta Ver. from ARMORED CORE 3 is back in production and open for preorders on Rakuten Books. The kit is the fourth entry in the line's reprint project and represents the quadruped unit piloted by the Raven Scylla. It packs shoulder chain guns and a weapon-arm machine gun, and its independently poseable legs allow in-game poses. Reference price is 9,900 yen, listed at 8,143 yen with tax.
The kit is the fourth entry in Kotobukiya's V.I. (Variable Infinity) Series reprint production project, which has been returning older ARMORED CORE molds to circulation. The Delta Ver. is built around the quadruped CR-LF93A2 legs, and the legs are independently poseable, so the finished model can be set in poses drawn from the game. The package includes the CR-H84E2 head, CR-C75U2 core, CR-WA69MG weapon arms, CR-WB69CG shoulder chain guns, and IWATO DATA extensions. Kotobukiya lists a reference price of 9,900 yen; Rakuten Books shows 8,143 yen with tax. The photos are of a painted prototype.
