been looking for FMP merchandise particularly a bonta kun plushie and models/figurines of the mecha. Been looking around the usual places like hlj.com and evilbay but no good. Any suggestions?

SpyderG6 · 2007-04-25, 20:32

Sadly FMP merchandise is severely lacking in the AS and bonta kun areas.
The was an Arbalest model made by Romu ,but it was discontinued by HLJ and I have never seen one for sale. http://www.hlj.com/product/RMURSR-01

There are also trading figures that HLJ also used to sell.
http://www.hlj.com/product/ATS82006 I got a set on e bay where they pop up from time to time, but I was really disapointed in the quality and would not recommend you to get them.

I haven't seen any plush bonta kun merchandise. I actually haven't seen anything besides a bonta kun t-shirt on ebay and a figure of Souske in the bonta kun suit. If you find anything let me know I would be interested to at least see it.
I'm just wondering what is taking so long in getting these 1:60 figures out.

aikming · 2007-04-25, 21:23

hope they do well in the painting considering it's a 1/60 figure and a lot easier to paint.

hobbes_fan · 2007-04-26, 01:50

Wow, that's pretty dissappointing. All I can find is Tessa the Race Queen (I have no idea where that came from) and Chdori in the white swmsuit. If there is a new series to be made I hope they go all out with the merchandise

ive been looking for quite a wile and can only find that tessa race queen thing no AS stuff anywhere its a big shame to be honest

Sweet! I always wondered why there didn't seem to be any models available for the Full Metal Panic! Arm Slaves. If these ever actually hit the streets, I will definetly be picking them up.

I thought they gave up on it...

wow, i want one of those lol.

dodgethis_sg · 2007-08-12, 21:26

Considering the picture is found in the Alter section of the page, I is a happy man.

*prays for it not to be too good to be true*

Illsteir · 2007-08-14, 06:59

DO WANT!!!

BTW, Is the model already painted or do you still need to paint it?

dodgethis_sg · 2007-08-14, 07:12

Completed figure.

Illsteir · 2007-08-14, 09:14

Oh... So it's like the GFF or MSiA of Gundam model kits

cf18 · 2007-08-19, 09:28

Given the size and the expected price - 10 months ago they wanted 5000 yen - GFF like, hopefully without the GFF QA issues.

Here's news for you. This new one is from a different company at the beginning of the year, Alter, as opposed to Ateler Sai. So expect the price to go up for the quality and engineering which is a given since this one will have cockpit detailing

I would pay so much to get my hands on one of those...Hopefully they make M9's and Venom's, etc.

PlasmaFire · 2007-09-17, 21:26

Just joined AnimeSuki because I got excited over the ARX-7 model kit...which apparently now has pre-order (TBA) on Image Anime:

http://imageanime.com/ararfudeacmo.html

$0.01...haha. If only that were the real cost! Of course, anything within reasonable price, like less than the cost of a Perfect Grade Gundam model (~$100-$200), would still be quite good. So, if Alter indeed does ship the ARX-7 kit out by the end of this year, that'd be truly awesome.

[Edit] Hmm, the Alter image in the first post of the first page says 5250 yen, which is $45.67 for today's rates. That's a really great price for a 1/60-scale model of such detail, even if they tack on an additional $20 for import/shipping costs.

cf18 · 2007-09-21, 11:07

New from Hobby Japan. Great photos!

Spoiler for big scan:

The only thing missing is the price, and may be a pilot figure, given that the cockpit opens.

Raishinshi · 2007-09-21, 15:10

Holy f**king s**t....I must have one of those...

I will pay bundles and bundles for it!

PlasmaFire · 2007-09-26, 17:32

cf18: MUST. HAVE.

I got excited over Halo 3's release yesterday, but the ARX-7 model is going to make my day once again...just look at the detail and all of those accessories...

There should be a pilot. A mini Sousuke in AS gear, likely?

And now, ARX-8 Laevatein model, please. :D
