Armored Core VI: A 50,000-Yen Balteus Figure Announced as a "Candy Toy" — Japan Reacts

A pricey (~50,000 yen) Balteus figure from Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon was announced half-jokingly as a giant "candy toy" — and Japanese fans piled in. The thread cracked up at the idea of a 1,000-to-1 Xylem being physically impossible, got genuinely grateful that FromSoftware keeps the IP alive through merch even without a sequel, and argued Balteus really is near the top of the PCA's combat roster — "of course they sent their best from the start." Affectionate, broke, and ending on a line about the thing prowling your room at night.
