Revoltech

For the discussion of Toho toys, models, figures and other collectibles of this nature.

Revoltech

Postby borodan » Thu Jul 29, 2010 7:43 pm

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.

I'm supposed to be getting my Baragon delivered tomorrow and I can't wait :p The joints do look a little strange at some angles in some of the pictures I've seen online, but I'm waiting until I have the toy in my hands to judge that (I've never owned a Revoltech before since none of their other lines really interest me).

I'm psyched for Anguirus and Rodan, and if I find Baragon to my satisfaction I'll probably be preordering both of them (which is very unusual for me). I just like how accurate they look in the photos I've seen, and I love figures with posability and playability, which these certainly have. If they release a Varan, Titanosaurus, and Showa King Ghidorah I'm going to be broke, lol.

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.

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.

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.

I still haven't gotten mine, for some reason the estimated delivery date was rescheduled for Monday :\ I don't know if this was because of BigBadToyStore or because of USPS though.

I ordered from Clawmark a lot in the past and I really like them. They shipped fast and were very helpful whenever an issue arose. The only thing I don't like is that sometimes their prices are a little higher than other places. I haven't ordered from them since they've moved to Japan though.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thats too bad. Any chance that they will do a Gabara or Varan? As for the Rodan & Aguirus, any release dates yet?

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