Zone of the Enders Vic Viper Model Kit Will Be Restocked

Kotobukiya revealed that it will restock its model kit featuring the Vic Viper from Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner in December 2024. The company has also opened pre-orders for the new batch, and people can immediately place orders for 6,930 yen (~$44) apiece.

The Vic Viper has been a staple unit appearing in numerous Konami entries. However, Kotobukiya modeled this kit after the transformable LEV piloted by Leo Stenbuck in the 2003 PlayStation 2 entry Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner.

The kit initially appeared in June 2012 to help promote the releases of Zone of the Enders HD Collection for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the same year. Other than the transformation gimmick, the set will also include swappable alternate parts for the manipulator hands.

Here are some of the sample images of the Vic Viper model kit:
