【ARMORED CORE LAST RAVEN】 A new series bringing Armored Core’s signature weapon and part customization to plastic models! The first release features the “Crest CR-C90U3” from the opening movie!

First off, the very premise of this item is enough to get the heart racing. The revival of Kotobukiya's “V.I. (Variable Infinity) Series” is major news for long-time fans, and choosing this specific unit as the first release is a stroke of genius. Rather than a simple reissue, this is a project aimed at breathing new life into a past masterpiece, offering a hit of nostalgia for veterans and a fresh surprise for newcomers.

You can’t talk about this unit without mentioning its iconic hand railgun, the “YWH16HR-PYTHON.” It possesses an eye-catching presence that instantly sharpens the overall look of the AC just by being equipped. It’s a “showstopper weapon,” providing a level of visual impact when displayed that is better seen than described. This armament elevates the kit from a mere robot model to something that makes you truly imagine the atmosphere of the battlefield.

While “revival” might suggest a 1:1 replica, this model has significantly evolved. The part separation and runner layouts have been refined, improving both the ease of assembly and visual precision. Furthermore, improvements in structural strength provide a greater sense of stability and security once finished. You can really feel how it’s been polished to modern standards while retaining everything that made the original great.

The abundance of included parts is another highlight. In addition to the core components—head, core, arms, and legs—it comes fully equipped with boosters and various armaments. With laser blades, missiles, and rockets at your disposal, you can enjoy posing while imagining infinite combat scenarios. A variety of hand parts also allows for nuanced expressions. The true appeal of this product is that the fun doesn't end with assembly; that’s where the play begins.

What's even more intriguing is that compatibility within the series has been maintained. This means you can combine parts with other V.I. Series kits to create your own unique custom AC. This level of freedom is addictive; you’ll lose track of time wondering, “What if I swapped this part?” It’s a high-quality standalone kit that also offers the expansive potential of a full collection.

The Crest CR-C90U3 transcends being a mere revival; it is a bridge between the past and the present. Combining the impact of iconic weaponry, improved quality, and high customizability, it offers a different kind of fun to everyone who picks it up. Whether you’re looking to soak in nostalgia or seeking a new modeling experience, this kit delivers on all fronts.
