Kotobukiya's Frame Arms

Finally, Kotobukiya announces the release of its long promoted Frame Arms series. Three in one go coming in October:

Frame Architect Type-001











Mechanical design by Yanase Takayuki (柳瀬敬之). This is the basic frame of the series. 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, like the tank's caterpillar and cannon turret shown above. There's a lot of freedom to how you want to modify the frame to create your own original mecha.

1,260 Yen (inclusive of tax). Available for pre-order on Hobby Search.

SA-16 Stylet




Mechanical design by Yanase Takayuki (柳瀬敬之). The content includes Frame Architect Type-001, external armors, missiles and Gatling.

3,150 Yen (inclusive of tax). Available for pre-order on Hobby Search.

32 Series Type 1 Gourai





Mechanical design by Yanase Takayuki (柳瀬敬之). The content includes Frame Architect Type-001, external armors for Gourai, cannon and Super-hard Knife.

3,150 Yen (inclusive of tax). Available for pre-order on Hobby Search.
