ZOE series is one of my fav mecha games, always wanted some figures/kits, but they only do resin kits for this series it seems, I dont have the skill level to take such a thing on, oh well nice stuff anyway.

This is actually an interesting inconsistency, as the Japanese version of Anubis calls the Vic Viper an Orbital Frame in the game itself but the non-game documentation (such as the Visual Works of Anubis) call it an LEV. I’ve corrected the post anyway.

I don’t believe the Vic Viper is an Orbital Frame, but rather an LEV. Some random Googling seems to agree:

Orbital Frames were mainly used by the Martian forces, while the Earth-based forces were either trying to develop their own OFs or were using the more primitive LEVs. In a way, the Vic Viper have a transformation makes sense if it’s an LEV, because it’s the Orbital Frames that are able to float with some kind of reactionless drive, while we always see LEVs maneuvering through the use of thrusters. The Vic Viper looks fancy and “glowy” enough to be an Orbital Frame, but apparently it’s just a hyper-advanced LEV that is able to use an amazing array of abilities but somehow without the usual ZoE MacGuffin of metatron.

Hoho, that’s pretty gorgeous. I cry trying to imagine making it myself though, after the trainwreck of trying to assemble the Kotobukiya Fei Yen model. ;_;
