After laying dormant for more than a decade, Kotobukiya finally decided to revive their Linebarrel model kit lineup. Most likely in limited fashion, Linebarrel Overdrive and Vardant got their 1/144 Scale Model Kit re-release. Scheduled for May 2025, These 2 iconic Machinas will be sold for 5800 and 5500 Yen which doesn't differ much from its old price.
If Kotobukiya made Linebarrel Overdrive and Vardant in the present, they could have costed above 7000 Yen so we got to be thankful that Koto decided to release them in reasonable price. I used to have 1/144 Vardant before and these Model Kit required some repaint to actually look good. Nevertheless the end result of these two Machinas will look as good as Bandai's as long as the proper work are being put in.
Since the featured mech in this post is Linebarrel Overdrive, might as well put some tidbits about this guy. Linebarrel Overdrive is the upgraded version of Linebarrel after Koichi went angsty enough and it is equipped with some kind contraption on its right hand which capable shooting powerful energy blasts or turn into massive energy Blade which is unfortunately not included in the Kotobukiya version. Regardless, any Linebarrel fans should consider getting this one because it is one of those very rare Re-releases from Kotobukiya. Probably I am going to do some rereading marathon for Kurogane no Linebarrel as well
