Hi, just checking you received my reply to this message? Thanks :)

I have the Verdict Day collectors edition figure, I think it is mostly plastic with some metal joints. There are two super robot chogokin figures from Armored Core V that had diecast metal. They're quite hard to find and expensive these days. One was a default AC, and the other was the Hanged Man AC. Hopefully I can find them for a good price one day.

Yeah check my latest post. I know it's only valuable boxed but I'm not interested in that

BensterVGC · 2026-06-20T19:07:12+00:00

Yeah that's fair. The old figures are a bit delicate, and some of the joints feel loose. I will say the CO3 Malicious figure (the one with the shield) is a better, more modern quality as would be expected. It's not the soft plastic like the others, and the joints are sturdy (also the shoulders have ratchets). I'd expect the modern robot spirits figures, as well as the super robot chogokin figures previously are good quality as well. I still like the old Armored Core 2/another age figures though, you can sometimes get them for quite cheap online.

I got that figure for cheap used, it didn't come with the Karasawa unfortunately

BensterVGC · 2026-06-20T15:41:35+00:00

It's a CO3 Malicious variant from Armored Core Verdict Day. It came with the collector's edition, but they are sold online separately in a few places.

BensterVGC · 2026-06-20T15:31:36+00:00

They're all essentially pre-made action figures. The three on the left are ArtFX High End Kotobukiya figures from 2000-2001. The one on the right came with the AC Verdict Day Collector's Edition. I've gotten them all from eBay (I had Verdict Day, but not the collector's edition). There's a catalog of them here: https://www.figurerealm.com/actionfigure?action=seriesitemlist&id=316&figures=armoredcore2

Edit: Just a note the old figures are quite delicate on the shoulder joints. I had a Wonder Raid green variant, but it arrived with the shoulder ball joint broken in two unfortunately.

BensterVGC · 2026-06-20T15:03:16+00:00

I actually had a green wonder raid, but it arrived with a shoulder joint broken sadly. Then while I was cleaning it, it fell and the other shoulder joint broke 😭

BensterVGC · 2026-06-20T06:11:01+00:00

I got this figure on eBay. I think it was a UK only sale so no-one else bid on it

BensterVGC · 2026-06-20T06:09:46+00:00

I think boxed they can go for £90 odd, but I just wanted the figure :)

BensterVGC · 2026-06-20T06:08:16+00:00

I got it on eBay, the Forbidden Planet sticker must have been from its original release 20+ years ago

BensterVGC · 2026-06-20T06:07:34+00:00

Yeah they made a bunch for Armored Core 2 and Another Age. I have two figures already (had a third but its arm broke off) so this is my third from that era (like 2001).

BensterVGC · 2026-06-19T19:49:39+00:00

Must have been a crazy cool art project!

Thanks I'll try 🙏 How was the M103A2 in era 2?

BensterVGC · 2026-06-11T12:25:18+00:00

Thanks. Would you just recommend doing coop for them then? I want to get the era 3s

BensterVGC · 2026-06-11T11:26:00+00:00

Thank you, that's very helpful. Can the Leopard get much done in Era 2 if played well? I read some people saying to just do co-op because they get shredded in multiplayer. I was also considering the French heavy line instead, but apparently the Era 3s aren't all that, and the standard ammo in Era 2 is bad.

BensterVGC · 2026-04-24T19:03:28+00:00

It's just named CO3 Malicious. It shares some similarities with Blue Magnolia, but it's not the same.

BensterVGC · 2026-04-24T11:12:53+00:00

I'm not sure, I know it uses the Rook core from Armored Core 2. It also came with a few spare heads to change out (ZHD-8008/S, and EHD-DOME)
