Bandai announces Armored Core VI Pile Bunker ballpoint pen set

Bandai has announced the release of the “PB-033M ASHMEAD” Pile Bunker ballpoint pen and dedicated stand set, inspired by the game Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon. The product features a ballpoint pen with a mechanical gimmick that mimics the deployment of the weapon from the game when clicked.

The set includes an LED-equipped stand powered via USB Type-C, which features a touch sensor for three levels of brightness adjustment. The stand can also serve as a display case for the pen. A special memo pad branded by the in-game corporation, Balam Industries, is included as a bonus.

Pre-orders have opened on Premium Bandai, with shipping scheduled for May 2027. The set is priced at 17,600 yen, including tax.
