Revoltech
In addition to Baragon, Mogera, Mothra, Rodan, and Anguirus, (not to mention Gamera, Gyaos, Daimajin, Giant Robo, GR2, and Booska) it looks like Revoltech has a maser tank toy coming out from their sci-fi line.
They're really pushing tokusatsu stuff as of late, and but their selection is so eclectic that it's hard to guess what'll be next (no Godzilla yet, for example). I like that they're doing a lot of robot and mecha characters; the joints looks sort of weird on the "living" ones.

Re: Revoltech
I'm definitely getting that Mazer Tank when it comes out.
I want to get Baragon sometime soon too. Anyone have a preferred site to order from that offers these at a good price?
Gamera and Gyaos look cool but kinda weird because of the articulation. Gamera has more human-like arms. So I'm undecided on if I'll get those and Daimajin or not.

Re: Revoltech
Hobby Link Japan has good deals if you're patient, i.e. willing to wait for a sale or free shipping special.
I've had a lot of good luck with ebay, also.

Re: Revoltech
Fairy Mothra, I love my Revoltech Baragon. The joints really aren't noticeable when he's posed on his hands and "knees" like in the movie.
I ordered mine from Clawmark and was quite happy with the service, for those wondering.

Re: Revoltech
I want to get Anguirus and Alien really bad, but I'm saving up for Bandai's Ultra-Act figures, which are essentially the same but all from Ultraman.

Re: Revoltech
I got my Baragon revoltech from here: http://www.angolz.com/store/
The joints are somewhat weird, but the sculpt and paint job are rather superb. The only nitpick I have is that I wish it was somewhat larger. Other than that, I'd say it's worth any kaiju fan's money.
Also on the subject of robots, revoltech is pretty stellar when it comes to making mechas and such in their Yamaguchi line. With the exception of there Evangelion toys. If you plan on purchasing a reaaalllly good evangelion figure, check Robot Damashii. Their a little bit more pricey, but worth it!

Hey fairy mothra does he go well with your other figures?Fairy Mothra wrote:I got my Baragon yesterday. one of his wrist joints is messed up though. like the part that lets the hand go backward and forward doesn't turn with the wrist. has anyone else had this problem? just a minor gripe, but still.
otherwise I think he's great. the size actually works for these figures, I think. I love the fact that he's pocket-sized and adorable but still highly detailed. and his accessories kick ass.

OH GOD A SIZE ACURATTE BARAGON! *Dies but comes back to life* That is how tall baragon should be.Fairy Mothra wrote:if you're talking about scale wise, not really. he's about 3/4 the size of a Bandai 6" figure. although I don't really know how big Baragon's supposed to be in relation to other kaiju.Mike55 v2 wrote:Hey fairy mothra does he go well with your other figures?Fairy Mothra wrote:I got my Baragon yesterday. one of his wrist joints is messed up though. like the part that lets the hand go backward and forward doesn't turn with the wrist. has anyone else had this problem? just a minor gripe, but still.

Re: Revoltech
Yes, I had that problem as well. You either have mess around with the wrist joint or just take it out of the arm entirely and position it as you desire. Revoltechs sometimes have that problem, or the opposite problem where the joints are too lose. But that can be solved with some glue.Fairy Mothra wrote:I got my Baragon yesterday. one of his wrist joints is messed up though. like the part that lets the hand go backward and forward doesn't turn with the wrist. has anyone else had this problem? just a minor gripe, but still.

You can purchase these Revoltech toys at Hobby Search Japan. Their cheapier than Hobby Link Japan. Shipping also. That's where I get all my Godzilla collectibles.Drunken Kong wrote:I'm definitely getting that Mazer Tank when it comes out.

Thats too bad. Any chance that they will do a Gabara or Varan? As for the Rodan & Aguirus, any release dates yet?Legion1979 wrote:I've heard that (for some odd licensing reason maybe) there aren't going to be Revoltech figures of Godzilla, Mechagodzilla or King Ghidora. Not sure if that's true or not, or how valid the source is, but that's just what I've heard.

Re: Revoltech
I can't decide between the Gamera, Gyoas, and Baragon. Which one's the best?

By far the Baragon one is best. Then the Gamera.

Re: Revoltech
Do as you like, but I'd recommend going with Robot Damashii.Hellspawn28 wrote:Revoltech makes awesome Evangelion figures. I can't wait buy these soon.
Watch this, it's a review of the Revoltech Eva 01 from the Rebuild movies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRuQ-K60pt4
Now here's a review of the Robot Damashii version of Eva 01: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRI5Y4A7QpA
Again, do as you please, but I'd recommend going for the latter.

Re: Revoltech
Alright I just ordered the Baragon, Gamera & Gyaos figures.
I'll probably place an order soon too for Daimajin & a 1/350 scale Gotengo model while I'm at it.
My money stash is gonna be hurting for a bit.

Re: Revoltech
Anyone mind doing me a favor sometime and getting a Revoltech figure with a comparison to a Bandai/Bandai USA 6" figure? Want to know their exact sizes so I don't repeat my Trendmasters mistake.
I used to be a lot more optimistic and outgoing, believe it or not. I used to actually be passionate about this stuff.

I've seen reviews of baragon and he is half the size of a 6 incher. Here is the review there is some cursing in it though.JVM wrote:Anyone mind doing me a favor sometime and getting a Revoltech figure with a comparison to a Bandai/Bandai USA 6" figure?
