Bandai Spirits has announced that the first Robot Damashii toy for Armored Core VI will be released in September. Priced at 18,150 yen (around $117), the IB-07: SOL 644/Ayre is a substantial figure with diecast elements, putting it in between regular Robot Damashii releases and the more high-end Metal Robot Damashii toys. However, it will not feature the transformation seen in the game’s Bad Ending, likely to keep costs down.
Bandai Spirits expressed interest in creating more bosses from Armored Core VI in a recent interview with Hobby Watch. The IBIS series of mecha and Balteus were mentioned as potential options for future releases. The company has already hinted at the next reveal being a toy of the IBIS series AC, the IB-C03: HAL 826. It is unusual for Bandai Spirits to create toys of end game bosses, which may be considered spoilers to some players.
Despite potential spoilers, the IB-07: SOL 644/Ayre toy is expected to be a hit among Armored Core fans. Some critics have mentioned that the Coral energy paint job on the figure may be excessive in certain areas. It will be interesting to see how well this toy sells when it is released in September. Fans can follow updates on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, as well as check out toy reviews on Mecha Damashii and hobbylink.tv.
Bandai Spirits’ decision to release toys of end game bosses from Armored Core VI has generated mixed reactions among fans.

It remains to be seen how Bandai Spirits will navigate this issue and continue to release high-quality toys for Armored Core VI fans to enjoy.
Fans of Armored Core VI can look forward to the release of the IB-07: SOL 644/Ayre toy in September, priced at 18,150 yen. This figure features diecast elements and a detailed design inspired by the game. Bandai Spirits has hinted at future releases of more bosses from the game, including the IBIS series of mecha.
