Remember in September when we talked about Alter planning to release the 1/60 ARX-7 Arbalest in December? Apparently, the date has been postponed again. This time, the 14.5cm tall ABS full action figurine has been announced to be released on May next year for 13,440Yen ( estimated to be around $126US dollars according to XE.com). And there’s no confirmation as of yet whether or not the display base is still sporting the name ‘Arvalest‘ instead of the correct spelling, “Arbalest”.
Hopefully, they’ll really deliver the goods on time this time round as promised. It was originally planned for this December release, but now they’ve pushed it back till May next year . Keeping my fingers crossed and praying that it will be spelled right this time. Any thoughts from you guys? Will you wait till May nexy year for Alter’s Arbalest or are you going to settle for Kotobukiya’s cheaper version of Arbalest?
13,440 Yen for 14.5 cm tall mecha? You can get 2 decent MGs. lol. What i want to see its articulations. I will wait for it to come in stores before deciding on obtaining it. ^_^
is this one gonna be made by bandai or revoltech. this would be a sweet kit if it is made by bandai.
lol for sure it would be labelled as “out of stock” for sure xP
there are so many FMP mech fans there especially the Arbalest
so better but it as soon as it get released….
I already made my reservations though xP first come first serve nyahaha
@yasser anas,
precisely what I thought too, I’m in a real dilemma for this baby. I’ll have to wait and see before jumping the gun.
@Frito,
nope, it’s made by neither. This is from Alter, a totally different company. Below is their website:

@ichvon,
my friend, you sure are being fast there, pre-ordering it so soon.
But you’re right about having many FMP fans out there wanting to grab a piece for themselves.
Many FMP fans?i thought FMP’s much more unpopular than FMA..heck,got the kotobukiya one,the M9 has very nice articulation,with the sacrifice of details of course…should see this arbalest first before buying it…hope Alter drop it’s ultra un reasonable price(13,000 yen?!).But still,it looks worth the money you could spend on this baby.
should i be worried? this is the first time ive heard of them. im suprised both didn’t bother licensing this. freaking FMP was the shit when it was online. can’t wait for the fourth season.
Why……The price……

@Jacques
- well its better to have it first rather than having a “sigh” at the end..
——————————————

after all so theres nothing to worry after buying this one. You just
have to find a good spot to display it ;]
