Forget the 1/60 AS Arbalest...
 

... Don't want to fork out $150 for a 6 inch plastic Full Metal Panic Arbalest?

Fork out $50 for one instead!

Courtesy of Tamashii Nations 2009, Bandai will be adding Full Metal Panic mecha to its Robot Damashii (Robot Soul) toy lineup. Awesome!

Cool i reported on this back in december.. Is there a site where you can preorder these or 50$ ... I was upset when i seen the 150$ on these on ebay and was hoping that something would happen to drop the prices of him. FMP is a killler anime and these Suites are awesome..

Well, it didn't "drop the price", because it's not the same figure as the Alter 1/60 Arbalest. It's from Bandai's Robot Damashii line instead, and while it's probably not going to be quite as big, it's also at least 1/3 of the price.

There's no release date or pricing info right now, but when they're available they'll be on the usual Japanese import sites like HLJ.com, angolz.com, toy-wave.com, etc...

Still awesome news , I been trying to hunt down the orginal PVC versions of all the suits from the animeso this if great still.. I hope they do keep some of the features like the opening cockpit and all the add ons.. Ill keep my eyes peeled for these for sure...

Thanks :)
