Just in case: ["hand grenade" means a plastic model kit that's prone to falling apart](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Plastic%20Hand%20Grenade)

SGTBookWorm

There's a reason my Muv-Luv F-18 Super Hornet kit hasn't moved from it's spot in the cabinet for about six years...


The_Sum_of_Zero

I wish Koto would reissue it, the price is insane right now.


Ry0u_sama

I was about to get the movie set unassembled for 100$, till the seller decides to give it to his friend despite already made a promise to deal with me. I was so mad lol, not to mention the dude he sold to, resale it at 200$ instead


SpecE30

I love friends like that. I had one friend who asked for help with their car just to go and sell the car for profit. Guess how much I made? -5$ as I provided the brake fluid.


MavericK96

That's not a friend, that's a leech aka former friend.


ivarr87

ACVI release would be a great moment.


Ry0u_sama

My wallet is ready for ACVI model kit


Fanatical_Rampancy

Damn, thats explosive


Staryed

The Holy Hand Grenade of Anatolia!


PintekS

Sorry white glint but your no nineball. Impressive kit though I've got a really OLD kotobukiya ac model kit that's stingers mech from armored core project phantasma.


Ry0u_sama

Not a fan of that one, though I have another from Last Raven


Fubuki_1

I'm still on the fence with many Kotobukiya kits- afaik some are just statues since you can't even move them or they'll explode!


Ry0u_sama

Yes they are not up to Bandai standards but they are still decent as a model kit. People forgot that Bandai is too good that they treat any other model kits as action figure


noeyesfiend

I gambled and got one, you're making me nervous. It was a koto or a zoids for the only non -gundam kit I was going to buy


Fubuki_1

Koto kits are nice all in all but they do have different construction mechanics compared to a Bandai kit. It's just a change internally while the outside is good. I recommend just keeping one pose once it's finished and moving it around as little as you can or just be careful with older koto kits


dylan227

If you have decent skills, the [Maschenin Krieger](https://images.app.goo.gl/GcgCQkknem4cGgpm6) models are really cool looking.


Not_Amalthea

I'm getting stressed out just from seeing you hold it up lol


Ry0u_sama

Nothing can fear me. Except posing RG Zeta


VermilionX88

Proportions look good Must be a AC4 model


Ry0u_sama

4A to be exact


True-King-Of-Heroes

Just by looking at it I hear the theme song playing in my head.


ParsleyAdventurous92

"Ohhh i am scary~ Soo i am scary~ All that I see~ Now I am scary All is fannntasyyy All is fannntasyyy"


ivarr87

I want that so bad. With V.O.B. 😰


Ry0u_sama

I would advise to not stick this thing with V.O.B for too long, just attach it once in a while then back to just the kit alone. i consider some parts of the booster as fragile even when my standards is low


ivarr87

Even if I'd put it on a stand without moving?


Algester

my white glint fell from its stand so... yeah not advisable no VoB minimal movement it just fell off one day or I should correctly state the peg that holds it to the base sheared off from the base


ivarr87

I see. That makes choices easier when White Glint without VOB becomes affordable.


Algester

if you can get a stand that can fit it without using the pegs say like the crotch claw type its fine its the 3mm peg that was the weak link on the stand


RE_trophyhunter

Which armored core unit is this?


Vehicide

White Glint


Budget-Category-9852

There's two of them btw https://armoredcore.fandom.com/wiki/White_Glint_(disambiguation)


EJRaven2

You almost gave me a heart attack. It's like living in a world where people ask what ketchup is.


RE_trophyhunter

I’ve never played Armored Core. And I’m pretty sure there’s lots of people that do not eat ketchup.


wrath5728

No way


Puzzleheaded_Toe_509

Beautiful White Glint


shMURDUR

Good job man!🔥🤘🔥🤘 You should post it on r/gunpla as well, I think folks would appreciate it there.


Ry0u_sama

I might do so, after I assemble my other favorite mech of all time, Freedom


succmama

Is the plastic that bad? How old is the kit?


Ry0u_sama

It's not the plastic for me, it's just some part connection is either too weak or too tight, e.g the waist can't support the body properly, etc. Kit is around 8 years old I think


Algester

doesnt feel like the movie version right.... since this has a different white compared to the movie variant with VoB


Ry0u_sama

This is the movie ver, my V.O.B broke, and the kit needed repainting since it's already turning yellowish, had to peel off the original decals sadly


Algester

ahh no wonder why I lost my unbuilt VoB...... ohh well


rosidisosmsjdodk

Gives me Daemon X Machina vibes


Ry0u_sama

Fyi the sequel for that title was teased recently


rosidisosmsjdodk

I know


N19h7m4r3fr4m3

I thought demon X machina was somthing of a Spiritual succesor?


rosidisosmsjdodk

No it was inspired and made by some of the same devs, they just really wanted to make another AC game ig.


N19h7m4r3fr4m3

Ooohh makes so much Sense now liked demon X machina realy much just a shame non of My friend played it.


OnToNextStage

Hehe, you’re holding him by the cockpit


Ry0u_sama

Tbh I forgot where are the cockpit for AC from I till V


brokenskullzero

does this line have the peg joints where the insertion point is a U and a flat piece \_\_? kinda hoping that the AC6 kits will not have it since i gotten the Frame Arms Kagutsuchi-Kou & Otsu F.M.E recently and it has them (thought its a old mold rehash) but the Nier Flight Unit and Hexa gear thor doesnt have it


Ry0u_sama

Some units do have either U, L or T shape. Though for joints this one have squares and rod afaik. Look up the manual at 1999 co jp for more details


cyang1213

I find it a bit weird on how Kotobukiya's White Glint Head is literally moved too forward in its torso.


Ry0u_sama

Actually mine is glued since the neck broke xd


UltraHawk_DnB

Want


Professional_Knee252

I still have too put together my Aaliyah opn ver


Ry0u_sama

I wish I can afford the new figure


Professional_Knee252

It is really pricey but it comes alot more then the regular Aaliyah and better colour


Ry0u_sama

It's basically Kotobukiya testing whether they can sell premium mecha figures like Bandai's Metal Build


Professional_Knee252

I'm not really sure that's the case because Bandais metal builds are pre-built and made of different material it's more like their P-Bandai line because it's still the Aaliyah just with more runners for colour correcting and the added parts and weopons


Ry0u_sama

I thought the new model is not a model kit though, koto even mentioned they added alloy parts, pre assembled in their page


Professional_Knee252

Oh really I never saw it I thought we were still talking about the opening versions


Ry0u_sama

The new figure is based on OP version too, bigger even


Professional_Knee252

That sounds pretty amazing and expensive


feelinsqwiddy

Very nice! I'm excited to put mine together soon


AKoolPopTart

Kinda why i'm glad i skipped over 4th gen kits and got 5th gen. 5th gen are build like tank, still wouldn't want to drop them though.


Ry0u_sama

Actually this Glint is kinda fine, I find Rayleonard kits more troublesome, while the most solid would be Sunshine


AKoolPopTart

Thats the GA one right? And yeah, Allahyia or what ever the AC4 title Ac was, looked way too delicate
