Really nice, Cap. I almost bought that one off ebay but I got f***** out of FW Anguirus and I didn't want to risk a second sniping. The filled in mouth is a bit goofy, but it's the only flaw IMO.

Got back from work two days ago, and the SH Monsterarts Garuda that I ordered from Clawmark finally arrived.

^Thanks!

I have the mantle as well, buuuuut...well, I've got huge reservations about it right now. The connector piece is kind of a nerve wracking nightmare to put in and remove...I feel like I'm either going to break the figure or the mantle, one or the other every time. And you know I've been vocal about not having any "delicacy" issues with my Revolts or any other figures...

I know how you feel. I hold my breath when I mess around with my Mechagodzilla's extra parts.

Speaking of Mechagodzilla ( Something I forgot to mention ) I recently brought the GD-98 Chogokin Mechagodzilla and it arrived today. It is brillant. LOVE the spike button on the back of the neck that makes MG's head spin, its a neat feature. The Space Titainum piece is also a nice bonus.

That fig's one of my favorites. Fantastic likeness, and in terms of durability blows away nearly every other SA kaiju fig (The MAs are nice and sturdy at first ut the joints loosen over months of excessive posing), and the accesories are great. Probably my favorite Super articulated figure along with the MA Spacegodzilla.

Durability wise I will agree with you on that. In terms of articulation it is perfect, nice and chunky as well as robotic. Details are outstanding, its as if someone shrunk the suit. Very happy to have it :).
Got it at a decent price of £44 to add.

Shame Chogokin stopped doing Kaiju.

My Y-MSF Megalon arrived. I like it, cool sculpt and pose. The actual figure itself feels hollow and weak however. I'm happy with the $30 I spent on it, it's definitely a cool figure, but no way in the world is it worth the $70 Tempting Toys is selling it for.
Making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

All right, so I got my Revoltech Mogera in the mail, but I have to give this guy a so-so rating.

The figure itself looks very nice and is an excellent likeness of the film's suit. The sculpt and paint are both quite attractive.
Image

However, he was a real bitch to put together, and, to be honest, he doesn't pose all that well, especially with those awkward legs. Granted, it's a tough design to work with, but I found him kind of frustrating to set up.
Image

Most annoying, though, were the accessories. This little dish thingy broke when I was fixing it to its stand--one of the legs is snapped, and the dish doesn't sit fully upright. A minor annoyance, but... wtf? Oh, and the Mysterian dude doesn't like to stand up.
Image

All in all, I'm satisfied for the $22 or so I paid for it (including shipping) but found it to be the least effective Revoltch I own so far. .

^He is pretty "fiddly" and I agree, he's the lesser of the Revolts I own, but the only thing I've ever had trouble with is that center "plate" that his torso sits on to connect to the legs is almost impossible to keep straight.

Just got home to my Revolt Gamera 2. Pics eventually...
