Kotobukiya's Frame Arms New Images

GA Graphic has a series of introduction on Kotobukiya's latest plamo series: Frame Arms.

Frame Architect Type-001



Basic frame of the series. Multiple joints for the arms and legs, allowing you to shorten or lengthen them.

All the connector points all over the body are 3mm in diameter each, allowing the frame to mount parts from the completed model itself, or components from Kotobukiya's Modeling Support Goods series. There's a lot of freedom to how you want to modify the frame to create your own original mecha.

October release, 1,260 Yen (inclusive of tax).

SA-16 Stylet





An aerial combat type mecha.

The content includes Frame Architect Type-001, external armors, "S41-R2" 2-tube Missile Launcher and [M547 A5] 60mm Gatling Gun.

October release, 3,150 Yen (inclusive of tax).

32 Series Type 1 Gourai







An land combat type mecha.

External armors are designed to look thick, but won't affect the articulation. The content includes Frame Architect Type-001, external armors for Gourai, 120mm Recoilless Cannon and Super-hard Knife.

October release, 3,150 Yen (inclusive of tax).

The mechanical design of all the three Frame Arms above is done by Yanase Takayuki (柳瀬敬之), who did a lot of designs for Gundam Double O.
