ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON

Bandai Spirits and Bandai Candy Division are producing multiple plastic model kits of mechs from Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon, with pre-orders open for a large-scale Balteus kit and a VP-40S kit already on sale.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Jul 2

Bandai Spirits began releasing Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon model kits in June 2026 under its 30 Minutes Missions (30MM) line. The first kit, the Arquebus AC VP-40S, went on sale June 13, 2026, for 2,530 yen. It uses a common head, core, arms, and legs structure that allows part swapping similar to the game's assembly system. The same day saw the release of Weapon Set 07, which includes four close-combat weapons: WB-0000 BAD COOK, WB-0010 DOUBLE TROUBLE, BML-G2/P19SPL-12, and SB-033M MORLEY, priced at 1,650 yen. Both kits are non-scale plastic models from Bandai Spirits.

Later in June 2026, Bandai Candy Division's SMP brand announced a much larger model kit of the AAP07: BALTEUS unmanned special aircraft, one of the game's iconic boss encounters. The kit measures roughly 450mm long and includes a 156-missile launcher. Pre-orders opened June 27, 2026, at 49,940 yen, with a release scheduled for April 2027. Premium Bandai began accepting pre-orders for the same kit on July 1, 2026, confirming the price and the April 2027 ship date, and noting that the kit includes weapon parts for recreating the 156-tube missile and variable ultra-high temperature burner.

The two product lines show Bandai treating Armored Core VI as a sustained model-kit sub-line rather than a one-off crossover. The 30MM VP-40S kit and Weapon Set 07 are already in stores, while the SMP Balteus kit is in pre-order phase. No further kits have been announced in the provided stories.
