I was browsing thru HLJ when I found out that Kotobukiya will release their first Virtual On 1/100 scale kit from Oratorio Tangram series! Kotobukiya opted for Raiden [D.N.A. Side] as their first line-up. Great choice!
I Google the web and found their website. It's in Japanese.

Judging by their Armored Core line-up, I hope they can churn out more subjects rather than 'variations' like what Hasegawa did.
Expected to be released in December.

Slightly Off-Topic
Pardon me Harman but seeing I'm Mecha challenged, I hope you don't mind me asking.....does this mean machine have a head? Just curious as all.

It does CK. The huge shoulder that houses the huge flower-petal-like laser thingy somehow gives an illusion that the mecha has no head.
Here's a photo of the unit's torso and head

Ah I see....quite a fair bit of details on this kit. Quite a challenge to bring out all of these lovely details during painting I would think.
Thanks for the "headsup". :D

Looking at the wave of new kits coming out, it's hard not to get them! One of the kit that I've been waiting for so long since I first saw the Virtuaroid in Virtual-On:MARZ, the Specineff!
It's like a Grim Reaper in Virtual-On's world.

Kotobukiya has really gone full gear with their Virtual-On series. The Specineff isn't out yet and they already have these two in their pipeline.
Raiden II RNA Side (August release)
Instead of having the 'flower petal thingy laser canon' as the utlimate weapon, the RNA sports a 'clamp type' of laser cannon (which is similar to Aliens' Powerloader clamp) as it's ultimate weapon.
Cool... B)
Viper II Ver. 1P - that's 'Player 1' for the uninitiated (September release)
HLJ have started accepting preorders for these two Virtuariod.
Viper II Ver. 1P preorder @ HLJ.
Raiden II RNA preorder @ HLJ
Strangely enough, the Viper II is placed under Super Robot category instead of Virtual-On.
