Revoltech

[Legion1979]

They make these figures look very odd with extended body parts/limbs

...Have you ever actually seen any Revoltech figures?

Whether he has or not, it's a valid complaint. The Angilas prototype has very long arms and legs because of the ball joints. It's an awesome figure but it's not quite right proportionately.

Its those little extensions that make the articulation, well...articulated.

I mean, if they nailed the design to a T from the Showa suit, AND opted to hide the joints as much as possible, the movement of the limbs would be limited by the design of the creature itself, so certain liberties need to be taken to ensure the figure is as posable as need be.

Afterall, if Toho's special effects crew taught us anything, its that design is all well and good, but execution is vital. Just ask those who worked on the original suit. lol.

when I first saw the pictures of Baragon and the other ones that came out around that time, I thought the joints looked really ugly too. I actually didn't even want to get Baragon - I mean, I wanted him, but I wasn't sure about paying ~$40 for something I wasn't sure I'd like. my boyfriend ended up surprising me with it, and now I want all the Toho Revoltechs, lol. I don't know why, but I think they look a lot better in real life than they do in the photos. I guess the joints just aren't as noticable when you're actually holding the figure. I mean, they're there, but you just sort of stop thinking about them so much. honestly I think a little bit of rather unobtrusive joint visibility is a good tradeoff for how posable the figures are. I can't wait to get more of them so I can set them up in all kinds of cool poses together.

although I hate that Rodan and Anguirus are coming out at the same time... I passed up Mothra because I couldn't justify spending the money (she's not really my favorite monster), but I really want these two :p

If anyone is interested, I know where to get the Revoltech Moguera for a pretty low price. I am not too sure how many they have but they are just over $13 + shipping from Japan. They also have Baragon, Mothra, Gamera and Gyoas as well as the preorders for Anguirus and Rodan for $28. I am going to place an order there soon so if anyone wants to pick them up, PM me and we can work out details. I just thought that it would save on shipping if a few people wanted it.

[Hellspawn28]

Less than 6 inches tall, you say? Will probably cost around $30?

Do not want.

You can still buy it and keep in in its box. That's what I do with my figures.

probably sound like a broken record to you saying this again, but if you like the Revoltech Eva Units, check out the Robot Damashii line.

Yeah I forgot that I post something similar a few pages back .

Sounds like a complete waste of money then. I could just get a picture, print it out, and hang it on my wall and get the same effect.

Yeah, I never understood that. The hell is the point in buying a figure if you're just going to leave in the packaging and sit it on the shelf? ESPECIALLY one like a Revoltech, which is MEANT to be taken out and posed.

Don't sweat it. I just think you should look into the RD line.

Because it keeps them nice and clean, and they are going sell for a lot of money in the future. For me, I like to keep them in the box since most of the figures I own will either break like the NECA Alien/Predator figures for example.

I don't buy TOYS with the intent of selling them years down the road for a profit.

What's a good place to order some of these things from?

So far the only place I know where you can preorder and see the price is ToyWiz.

[howze01]

The place I was talking about was Hobby Search. They have some pretty good prices on them too. I also like the points system. Once you build a good amount up, they can really help bring prices down.

[Fire Baragon]

PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who noticed the little Sanda and Gaira you get with the Mazer Canon. I got the Baragon a while back and I really want to buy the rest of them. Probably get the Anguirus next.

My Rodan just came in the mail today.








The panels on the top collapse inwards which reveal plug holes.




There's a joint inside the building which allows it to tip just ever so slightly.


Here's the little model.


Rodan meets Baragon.


I've been having a blast with this guy!

[Orgasmatron]

oh man seeing rodan and baragon together

cant wait to see some revoltech collections once more of these are released!

[Legion1979]

I've had the Baragon since it was released and today I broke down and finally ordered the Mothra, Mogera and Rodan.

[GodzillaXGomoraFight]

That Gigan coming out looks awesome. The only thing is if I'm better off getting this cool one over a Bandai 6 inch so it scales better with the rest.

[Lamango]

No love for Revoltech Woody?

Sadly, the least creepy of the Revoltech Woody pictures I have...but you get the general idea.

[Legion1979]

Those crazy Japanese.
