(PRE-ORDER: APR 2027) KADOKAWA Plastic Model Series Full Metal Panic! Arbalest 1/48 Scale Model Kit

PRE-ORDER: Expected to ship in April 2027.

The ARX-7 Arbalest, the Arm Slave piloted by Sousuke Sagara in Full Metal Panic!, joins the KADOKAWA PLASTIC MODEL SERIES as an impressive 1/48 scale model kit!

Developed under the supervision of mechanical designer Kanetake Ebikawa, the Arbalest stands approximately 7 inches (17.7 cm) tall when completed and features detailed mechanical sculpting, extensive articulation, molded-color parts, and select pre-painted components.

For the first time in plastic model form, the kit can recreate all three of the Arbalest's major tactical configurations: Normal Mode, ECS Activation Mode, and Lambda Driver Activation Mode.

ECS Activation Mode is recreated through deployable armor and interchangeable components, including the system's distinctive lenses throughout the body. Lambda Driver Activation Mode can also be reproduced using deployable armor and interchangeable heat-radiation fin parts.

The cockpit has also been recreated with an opening and closing mechanism based on the original design materials. The chest block slides forward to allow the cockpit hatch to open for additional display options.

A large selection of weapons and accessories is included, including the Boxer 57mm Scattershot, Monomolecular Cutter, Anti-Tank Daggers, and Hand Grenades. The chest weapon bays can store the included Anti-Tank Daggers and grenades, while alternate head parts recreate the dagger mounted to the Arbalest's head.
