Quick Answer
The FRAME ARMS WILBER NINE / SECOND JIVE ARMOR SET (Ver.F.M.E) is a special append kit that lets you build either the Wilber Nine or Second Jive variant when combined with the separately sold Frame Architect Type-001 (Gray) RE2 frame.
What Makes This Kit Unique?
This set stands out because it includes the exterior parts for two of the most distinctive transformation designs in the Frame Arms series. The Wilber Nine and Second Jive both feature unique transformation mechanisms that set them apart from standard mecha. The Ver.F.M.E variant adds a fresh color scheme and part layout, giving builders a new way to display these forms.
What You Need to Know Before Buying
This is an armor set only—it does not include a complete internal frame. You must purchase the FRAME ARCHITECT TYPE-001 (GRAY):RE2 separately to assemble either form. The kit uses PS and PE materials, which are standard for Kotobukiya model kits and offer good detail retention but require careful handling during assembly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this kit include the internal frame?
No. The FRAME ARMS WILBER NINE / SECOND JIVE ARMOR SET (Ver.F.M.E) only contains the exterior armor parts. You must buy the FRAME ARCHITECT TYPE-001 (GRAY):RE2 separately to build either the Wilber Nine or Second Jive.
Can I build both Wilber Nine and Second Jive from one set?
The set includes parts to recreate either the Wilber Nine or the Second Jive, but not both simultaneously. You choose one configuration per build. If you want both displayed, you would need two copies of the armor set and two Frame Architect bases. Plan which variant you want to build first, or purchase a second set if you want both on your shelf.
What is the scale and size of the completed model?
The completed model stands approximately 6.30 inches tall. It is a non-scale kit, typical of the Frame Arms line, so it will fit alongside other Kotobukiya FA models without strict scaling.
What materials are used in this kit?
The kit is made of PS (polystyrene) and PE (polyethylene) materials. PS holds detail well and is easy to cut and sand, while PE is used for softer joints and connections. Standard plastic cement works on PS parts, but PE requires friction-fit assembly. Use a sharp nipper for clean cuts, and test-fit PE parts before final assembly.
Are the transformation mechanisms fully functional?
Yes. The Wilber Nine and Second Jive are known for their unique transformation gimmicks, and the Ver.F.M.E armor set retains those features. The transformation sequence is part of the build experience, but the exact steps are detailed in the manual. Follow the manual closely during the transformation steps to avoid stress on the parts.
