Not sure about fixing, but you can buy bunches of Revoltech joints on ebay and just swap that dud out for a fresh one. Slow shipping from China, but pretty cheap.

Perhaps Bandai doing a Gamera 3 Monsterarts has legally prevented Revoltech from doing this? (Like I hear Bandai is very restrictive)

That’s probably what happened. When tamashii started the SHMA line they prevented revoltech from making a Showa Godzilla. That’s why the series stopped. What’s the point if you can’t make the big G

It's a shame these were canned after so few (great) releases. They touched characters BANDAI probably won't even touch with pinchers. But you're right, without the main guy it makes no sense to continue at all. That was the reason I sold my Revoltechs back in the day.

They should have done Varan, Mothra Larva and that rumored Jet Jaguar.

I ventured an opinion of this over in the SHMA thread. Entirely possible... :|

Weird coincidence that we are in fact getting A Gamera 3 a few days after this. It's just not a Revoltech one.

Call me the Notorious Nostradamus! :shock:

That awesome WF Varan kit assembled by the Ambleo user Shintaro. I believe it was designed to scale with the Revoltechs.

Beautifully done. I'm with G21 here, I'd love to buy that.

Seeing all three of those guys together really makes me wish we'd get a Legacy of Revoltech reissue for Anguirus.

How can one receive that Varan?
I have Angy just need to eventually buy Baragon and maybe that Varan to complete the original GMK roster.

One does not acquire that Varan for it is a custom.
Yeah, Godzilla wins... sometimes. I mean, he was killed by Dr. Serizawa's patented bubble-bath formula, heartburn, missiles, and poor box office returns, got his ass kicked by a drunken, circus-escaped gorilla, then he was beaten by two newborn worms, yeah some “king”.

It actually was sold in 2 limited quanitiy batches between last year's and this year's Wonderfest. Even got the golden Toho sticker on its box.

Its sculpter has a Twitter account. I.e - the same sculpter responseble for that Bagan mold that popped up recently.

I take it that Varan has since been out of print eh?
Aw shucks! I had hoped some third-party company made him kinda like the third-party transformers.

Third-party TFs can get away with it because the majority are original designs or are unique molds of characters Takara/Hasbro will never make (see: MP Headmasters). They're also a lot less strict with cease-and-desists than Toho, who would unquestionably hammer down any manufacturer that tries to mass produce something like the Varan.
