What The Heck? ARX-7 Arvalest?

As much as I’m overjoyed that Alter will be releasing the ARX-7 Arbalest this coming Winter, I’m praying hard that they make changes to this.

Is it just my hallucination, or am I really seeing Aravalest on the base?

Please tell me that this is just a prototype display error. I’m hoping that it might be that the v key was hit instead of the b key, considering they’re neighbours, and that the people behind this marvelous full action model figurine would notice and correct this error. It’s a B, not a freaking V!!!!

The worse thing that can happen now is that it was an intentional V. I’m sure we’ve seen such a thing happen before, such as Nanoha Strikers being spelled as Straikers or Strkers. Those, however, were printed on the box of the figurine, so there isn’t actually an aesthetic harm done to the work of art. Yet, in this case, the text’s to be printed on the base.

Please, let this just be a bad joke. Else, I would find it rather harder to part with 13440 yen.

    that was probably a factory error or maybe they did not do a spell check

    Cover it up with black tape. If there’s one thing you can learn in NS, it is that black tape solves everything.

    Aren’t B&V interchangeable in Japanese like L&R?

  4. 4 LWL

    It’s different.

    Great to hear that the ARX-7 Arbalest from Alter is finally coming but sad to see such a typo-error on the display.

    If the problem stays when it’s released, either i’ll ditch the display stand and get another or sand away the current surface and think of a way to redo the job.

    What the heck are the QC team at Alter doing?

    otaku dan > Hopefully, that’s the case.

    Stifler > I’ve yet to enter NS, so I wouldn’t know.

    Necromancer > Just as LWL stated, it’s totally different. B and V are not interchangeable.

    Jacques > I really wonder what the QC team is doing too…

    LOL this is like buying a Sugintou figurine and having her name spelt as sugintoe or something…

    But still, maybe it’s a just a factory error, as OUTRAGEOUS as it may seem.
