arsia2 Another Color with FGM148 Type Anti-Tank Missile

Kit Review

Straight build

This kit is a Kotobukiya arsiavariation released as the arsia2 Another Color with FGM148 Type Anti-Tank Missile. It takes the original arsia and changes the molded color, with an added weapon — specifically the Tomytec Little Armory FGM148 Type Anti-Tank Missile.

So all the characteristics of the main body are identical to the original, and it's a solid girl-pla that delivers great sculpt quality, articulation, and joint strength. The included FGM148 came out looking pretty convincing, as you'd expect from Little Armory — well known for its real-world weapon kits for girlplas. The quality of the FGM148 is decent enough, though it's a bit less sharp compared to Kotobukiya's own kits. That said, the material is on the softer side, which does make cleanup easier.

The FGM148 is a well-known real-world anti-tank missile, and just like the actual weapon, the LTA (Launch Tube Assembly) and CLU (Command Launch Unit) can be separated and reattached. The muzzle and scope covers can also be opened and closed, and the separately included missile can have its rear parts swapped out so you can recreate a launch scene using the included stand.

So while it is a color variant kit, it comes with a well-matched weapon added in, making it a pretty fun variation kit in its own right. With the FGM148 included, the price jumped from ¥5,200 to ¥9,000, which does feel a bit steep for what you get. That said, the base quality is solid and the weapon looks the part, so if the style appeals to you, it's definitely worth giving it a shot. :-)
