Hoping so hard we get another bunch of Legacy releases, and they re-release the hard to find QB revo's. Nothing says anniversary celebration like some plastic titties, right?

No, Anon. You're getting reissued 1.0 im@s Frauleins and you'll just have to live with never getting the best waifu revos.

She is one of my favorites, and she REALLY needs a Legacy, her joints are absolute shit.

>>5702240
>tfw no Cham Cham
>>5702439
They made Samurai Showdown figures? Holy shit.
>>5702442
it's a garage kit, and this one probably exists because cham cham was a guest character in queen's gate.
>tfw we could have gotten revoltechs of other girls from other games that participated in queen's gate
>tfw no kasumi, or mai revoltechs with cast off parts
>>5702431
>One in the pink, two in the stink
She's super lewd.
I really want her 2P color version. There are not enough Dark Elf figures out there.
>>5702476
Her 2P is one of the few I've seen that actually goes for more than the 1P color.
Japan loves their dark elf waifus apparently.
>>5702455
Damn it, stop reminding me how nobody ever makes action figures for fighting games, not even the super popular or waifu-baity ones.
We need more Vulvanlog Queen's Blade figures
>>5702508
MK keeps getting figures, and theres a bunch of SF figures.
I'd love to see a Guilty Gear or Blazblue series though. I want a Nu, I-No, Justice, Ky, and Sol.
>>5702508
Still a mystery to me. I guess video game characters don't sell enough to this day.
SFO and Sengoku Basara was a godsend apparently.
>>5702525
Some obviously do, or we wouldn't keep getting MH and MGS figures.
>>5702532
Well yeah, I meant more on fighting games.
Still, MGS is all main characters more or less. And MH popularity is insanely high so relatively to other media like anime and manga still seems there are far less action figures being made for games.
>>5702537
True. Still, happy we're getting more MH figures. They're beautiful.
>>5702523
Slightly off topic, but that's why it bummed me out when the Millia statue got canned, because if the OG Guilty Gear waifu couldn't make it then nobody else stands a chance.
>>5702426
>her joints are absolute shit.
How shit is shit? I bought Brunwen and had her in mail. How fucked am I?
>>5702971
branwen is like the last qb revo so she has pretty modern joints.
>>5702971
Branwen was made AFTER the joint changes IIRC. So she should be fine.
Echidna though, she never got a Legacy and was made before the joint change, so chances are any Echidna is going to be floppy as fuck.
The QB series is a weird one since they were made both before and after the joint change, so one figure in the line might be fine while the other might be the shit older joints that caused people to dislike revo's. It's why people want Legacy Melona and Menace so badly, because they have shit joints AND they were popular as fuck for being tittymonsters.
>>5702235
Will Layton get a legacy release as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations?
>>5703416
No one knows what, if anything, we're getting. From the date we're not getting info on anything until June 6th.
>was going to order the Palico off BBTS since I have a shipment of shit waiting for me there anyway
>sold out
What the fuck. This little bastard was popular enough to sell out of BBTS of all places?
>>5703683
Isnt BBTS popular for western figures like Marvel Legends? I'd imagine MH would be popular enough on our side and sell out like it would on the east if Monster Hunter players saw that listing and wanted one.
I know it's surprisingly popular from where I'm at.
>>5703724
BBTS usually carries a large stock of most things from what I've seen though. Just surprised it sold out.
Guess I'll just wait on it then until it pops up somewhere else.
Well, he's here. And he kinda sucks. The torso hinge is stuck, the face/head is hilariously awful, and the hip configuration looks like a trainwreck.
>>5705364
That's pretty much exactly what I though when I first got him, minus the stuck torso. I was pretty new to revoltechs at the time and I came around on some others since, but I don't regret selling him.
>>5705364
You didn't expect the face to be bad? I figured that's everyone expectations when people plan to get him.
You could try some warm water and move him around to loosen the torso. I do agree the hips could be better since mines keep popping out the hole but he has some surprising articulation.
>>5705364
>the face/head is hilariously awful
Whats wrong with the face?
Then again, doubt it can be worse than the Figma. Fucks sake, dollar store bootlegs look better than that at times.
>>5705418
It really is kind of funny how so many different companies have attempted snake's face, multiple times, even, and they're all between "terrible" and "looks ok, but nothing like him"
>>5705418
Positioning the eyes helps a bit but at this scale a good face is hard believe for Snake. I don't mind it and at certain angles I can see Snake in some stylized form.
I just hope GSC or Max Factory revisit Solid Snake for his MGS1 appearance since they now have better tech to tackle realistic faces.
>>5705364
It's still the best MGS1 Snake figure out there.
>>5705427
Yeah, kind of sad most of the MGS figures never nail the faces. Best I've seen are the revo Raiden and Vulcanlog Venom..
Also coincidentally the only 2 I own.
>>5705415
I deconstructed him, and the actual hinge seems to be fused shut. I've blasted it multiple times with a hair dryer and sliced into it with a blade, yet it still won't budge.
>>5702235
Please, just remake Dante from the ground up so we can have the first good Dante figure.
>>5705497
Same thing happened with my Jehuty's leg joint. Seems like a common problem with Revoltechs.
Fixed it.
>>5705657
So what was the problem, what was gunking up the joint?
So all the Vulcanlogs, Snake, Tigrex, MH Cats, are all 20-30% off on amiami. Did they not sell well? This is kind of concerning
>>5705712
Fused plastic it seems. I just kept trying to use the joint like normal until I heard a click and it started going smooth. Hope the peg didn't warp too much, might snap off eventually.
>>5705729
>did they not sell well?
Isn't that the case with Revoltech sometimes? Opinions seem divided with Revoltech figures and I never saw them as sales juggernauts but taking on interesting IP's for figure creation. Mandarake has a ton sitting around, just wish stuff like Layton gets a Legacy release.
If anything I always found Tigrex to be easy to find post release (all color variants/subspecies). A little surprised on Snake which is funny since my local sellers always sell him at $80 a pop.
>>5705780
Comic/import shops here probably acknowledge the property which explains the cost but also imports in general are marked higher there versus online.
Figma and Revoltech are always marked much higher there than online though they have Legacy of Revoltech FoTNS and EVAs sitting on shelf's for months. Plus the occasional surprise comes when I saw a Grey Fox Revolmini sitting around for $40 though the box was beat to hell.
>>5705798
>Plus the occasional surprise comes when I saw a Grey Fox Revolmini sitting around for $40 though the box was beat to hell.
Lucky. Not only do I not have any shops where I live out in the middle of nowhere, I can't find a Greyfox online for anything less than over 2x that price. Hoping he gets Legacy'd.
>>5705780
Considering they are charging extra for own profit, isn't that normal?
What's truly insane are the prize figures I see in stores here in Toronto. On import sites or amazon Japan each goes for like 2000 yen or under that...I see them for 60-80 dollars WTF what a ripoff.
>>5705808
It's normal but it's like swallowing a large pill for something you can get immediately or saving the extra cash online.
For instance I only visit here on occasion to check out stuff on-hand and maybe if its an exclusive they somehow got in stock and the price difference shipped online versus in-store isn't that high.
http://www.imageanime.com
>>5705818
That places prices are all over the place. Some are great, some are ass.
>>5705780
Yeah I'm warming up to him. FAMAS is huge, he can barely hold it
Revo Senmu is coming along, probably WF exclusive since who cares about the CEO and the guy who runs WF.
Reminds me of those old puppet shows I saw on NHK back in the day.
>>5706036
That thing looks creepy as fuck.
What do you think the next Yamaguchi Revoltech is going to be? The ''topical new hero.''
I think Marvel characters are way more likely compared to Jump characters.
>>5702235
Does anyone know when specific release dates are announced or where they're announced?
>>5706067
I'm betting on either Spidey or All Might.
>>5706067
I fucking hope not. I'm tired of Japanese characters I want to see being ignored in favor of sucking the western comic dick...
>>5706082
Usually like beginning of that month? I check Amazon Japan.
What's with these shitty custom bootlegs all over ebay?
>>5707121
Bootlegs are usually cheap as shit. Cheap+Shitty customizers wanting some practice+eBay=Horrible things.
>>5705459
Goddamnit I don't care how the fucking faces looks I just want someone to continue making Revengeance figures!
>>5707212
So do I. At least a Sam figure, I mean, fucks sake. Venom but no Quiet, BB but no Boss or Volgin, fucking mini Snake but no regular size?
Who is in charge of these shit decisions and how can they be fired?
>>5707212
Maybe Konami or whoever would consider revisiting Revoltech for releases someday. Raiden was like a glimpse into a fantastic line of figures.
>>5707222
Given Venom Snake was made after Raiden was, and was just as good, you'd suspect they're still doing business with the company, right?
Unless Venom sold like pure shit or something because his design was so drastically different from every other Snake due to Kojima going full Keiferface.
>>5707227
Sales matter but that data belongs to the company so they must consider if it's a venture worth going after again.
If MGR2 gets a reveal I can feel that we would see a Vulcanlog figure coming down for release at some point. Same thing with PAK pumping out all those MGS figures, especially Quiet who somehow destroyed my expectations after seeing a crazy Mandarake listing for her. I think she managed to be more expensive than the 1/1 scale Bionic Arm for Venom Snake which ran at 30k for one store.
>>5707227
I don't think venom sold too well, but it might have had to do with how expensive the figure was in the first place. He was pretty up there, considering how revoltechs are usually fairly cheaper than similar stuff. Also, I thought V was one of the better games in the series, but I don't think it was well received among other fans.
>>5707255
Not to veer off topic too much but if it wasn't for the trailers giving off such a distinct vibe about what to expect from the game then maybe reception would be a little different. Barring the loss of the battle at the island for Sally (which still makes me want to believe a Revoltech Metal Gear Rex, Ray, and Sally can happen) and some of the cut content I read about, mechanically I loved V. I just wish I didn't have to revisit so many outposts with a random litter of soldiers and the side-ops being headache inducing to complete 100% unless you approach each with wildly different loadouts and tactics.
>>5707255
>>5707282
Most peoples complaints seem to be the story got worse the further in you got. Which makes sense, since Kojima didn't finish the game because of Konami being a bunch of fuckwits. Huge tracts of unused dialog have been found for Snake, and the story just kind of peters out and blueballed everyone when it should've ended with an explosive finale with Lil' Liquid, Volgin, Mantis, etc.
>>5707282
>>5707290
Story-wise, I went in expecting the usual retarded kojima yarn, and that's about what I got. Mechanically, it easily felt like the best of the series, so I was pretty satisfied there too. And I mean, I get your complaints, but that's not even what I meant. I remember around the time of his release there was a big thread with people who were salty about the ending "twist", and had buyer's remorse about the toy because not mah snake.
I didn't get him until he went on sale, mostly because he was expensive and I wasn't sold on his articulation, but he ended up being really fun despite his flaws. It'd be a shame if we didn't get a quiet because people got butthurt about a fairly obvious twist, but one figure for each game is sort of the norm.
>>5707333
>I remember around the time of his release there was a big thread with people who were salty about the ending "twist", and had buyer's remorse about the toy because not mah snake.
Meh, given he was made to look like Snake (given in GZ it is Snake, and he still has Keiferface there), he technically is a Snake figure. But yeah I could see why people would be mad about that.
Personally I treat'em as Big Boss and not Medic Boss, since again, same face and all that.
>>5705364
>face/head is hilariously awful
Yet you have posted a photo where it looks great.
Only 10 years? Feels like it's been longer
>>5707357
Cause that's the only angle/lighting it looks good in.
>>5707412
Still looks good to me. I mean, he is pretty small. Not the sort of thing you're going to bring as close as that camera shot is to your eye, you know?
...Still better than the figma face too, and this is speaking as someone who is thinking of dropping the $80 on getting the figma.
>>5707412
Still looks good for something that small, especially when you consider the pictures are at least 10 times bigger than the actual head.
>>5707426
>>5707434
I guess it is fine for how small it is, but I still hate how it sticks so far from the forehead.
And I don't get all the hate around the figma honestly, mine came out okay. The beard's a little underwhelming, but it's certainly not that noticeable unless you're really up close.
>>5707446
He just has a really...Mushy. Looking face. He needed hard edges, and instead he looks like someones prettyboy version of Snake. The hilariously bad beard paint doesn't help either.
Solid Snake seems cursed to only have bad figures other than this revomini, who is too small to have truly awesome detail.
>>5707426
>thinking on dropping $80 on figma Snake
Honestly I was hoping the price would somehow drop a little post release.
I think they knew how bad the face was going to come out for the final release so they added in other points like his articulation and even then my Snake and others reported how floppy his torso joint became due to the decision to make his torso extendable for specific poses. $80 feels like overpaying when you consider possible issues to come up not to mention his face. Though a little adjustment on his eyes and using the bandana to hide the face sculpt does help.
Overall he's really articulated which is funny how Leonidas was the first realistic figma they got right but is a bit limited in certain ranges of articulation (no pop-out 2.0 arms for dynamic sword swipes and whatnot and limited ab crunch.)
>>5707446
The prototype face probably set an impression and then everyone saw the final release pics. I'm slightly more bothered how much black paint got all over the angry clinching face's teeth and somehow he has more beard than the default face.
>>5707459
Maybe we'll get a 2.0 down the road at some point? I'm probably gonna say fuck it and grab the revomini. Gonna be bummed he won't fit in with my Venom, but I guess thats why he's called Big Boss?
>>5707456
It's certainly nowhere near the quality of the promo shots, but I still believe it's the best Solid Snake figure out there. Just overall, he feels like the character, whereas the Mini is more a caricature.
As to whether or not he's worth the prices he's going for now, that really comes down to how big a fan of the series you are.
>>5707465
I'm really hoping someone puts out a 6 inch MGS1 Snake eventually, cause it is my favorite look of his. I grabbed the Mini just in case it's the only one, and it might continue to increase in value.
He's fun to mess around with Venom for sure.
>>5707465
The new face printing tech can give them a reason to go for a MGS1 Snake to compliment MGS2 Snake.
The revolmini is a ton of fun if you know what limits it has. I recommend it if you can get it at a decent price. On the plus side the Revolmini's pistol can actually work for Figma Snake and not look totally out of scale. At least on hand for me.
>>5707495
I think that was the idea if it has that level of similarities. Must've lifted a few design notes and applied it to Venom's sneaking suit.
>>5707500
Yeah, it's definitely possible Venom's suit was the precursor to the MGS1 suit in terms of timeline.
Dug out some of my old Marauder Inc. accessories and GIJoes, tons more fun. And yes, I'm fighting the urge to order mini Venom now
http://imgur.com/a/m4FCO
>>5707770
Well, guess I'm probably getting revo Snake. Your pics convince me he is just flat out better than the figma despite the size.
>>5707876
if you're still unsure...
>>5707881
Terrible gif.
>>5707899
did it all on my phone a long time ago so what ever.
>>5707876
He certainly is more fun to pose around.
Forgot to post the group shot here. Still no "real" Big Boss, haven't decided between PW or GZ version.
Also, we need some villains/side characters real bad. Ocelot, Quiet, Liquid, Armstrong, Solidus, Miller, fucking anyone else.
>>5708230
I'd love an MGS1 or MGS4 Ocelot.
Armstrong, Miller, or Sam would also be welcome
>>5708230
Yes to all of those. Bonus points if we get an Otacon's Dad figure with a set of stairs and a pool as an accessory so we can throw him down them/into it.
>>5708230
>tfw no Frog units to do stupid dynamic squad poses
MGS4 has some potential but there's only those Medicom and one RAH I remember being made.
Should I hold off on purchasing a Wall-E in hopes of a renewal announcement?
Maybe we will get some good reveals at SDCC like Gamera 3.
>>5708677
No way in hell he's getting renewed. Bite the bullet and pay the $73 if you want him that bad.

>>5709832
Doesn't really seem worth it to me, especially when I have so much other stuff on preorder releasing in the next couple months.
Wish I could get the accessories of the GZ ver. with the head of the PW version.
Looking good, looking good.
I think I'm just as excited for Black Magician as I were for Venom Snake and Ultron. I know people want the classic version but I have zero nostalgia for the series and I like this design way more.
I never played Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon...and I was in elementary school, in Japan, in the 90's...how did I manage that? I had enough friends...
>>5710217
Maybe you didn't meet up people who played? Shit was popular in the US(or at least in the schools I attended) and you couldn't escape a classroom of one or two guys who had a deck ready to duel.
Only thing I'm not a fan of is hip joints for Yugi for some reason. If anything Dark Magician is looking great.
>>5710280
I think we weren't allowed to bring stuff like that to school, so any dueling was done after school probably. Japanese schools are relatively strict. I hang with a different crowed I guess. Plus I was into Digimon and SD Gundams.
Robot style joint placement of the hips do look odd, but I think posing in hand they wont be too bad.
>>5709771
Interesting use of the muzzle flare effect.

>>5711231
What are you using for lighting? It's not half bad.
And shit maybe I will nab that Snake this month.
>>5711249
This
>>5710217
The yellow part of Yugi's hair is way to flat, but other than that the figure looks better than I expected.
What did they change about the joints with newer releases? I only have some older Revoltechs like Yotsuba, Ultra Magnus, and Krauser and the joints are fine, though a bit stiff.
I also just ordered a Boba Fett on Manda that was listed as "Opened, unused, box damaged" so I'm assuming the box was just opened for some reason. I like the sculpt from what I've seen, Yamaguchi isn't the one who sculpted the Star Wars line, right?
>>5711509
Basically just improved their stability/I think more teeth in the ratchets for a better range of "stop" points?
>>5707446
I'm actually surprised at how bad the face was for mine... Especially since I'm super happy with the figma Guts figures I got. The sucky part is that the grimacing angry face on my figma Snake is the one that turned out bad, while his normal calm face is the one that turned out alright. I really wanted it for the grimacing face.
That being said, yes, I think there is a curse on Solid Snake. Raiden turned out great, then for no fucking reason we got mini revo for Gray Fox and Solid Snake... Then somehow we got a full sized Venom Snake who also turned out well.
Are the old loose revoltech joints any good?
I asked in the customs general but this one seems more active.
>>5711509
>Yamaguchi isn't the one who sculpted the Star Wars line, right?
That's correct. He didn't sculpt them, but he did the placement of the joints to make sure they are just as poseable as his own figures. That*s what he's doing for all Vulcanlog now (besides V Snake) actually.
>>5711704
The ones sold like that were the handpicked better joints so they aren't that bad. Still the old 3 piece type 6mm though.
>>5711678
I think it's cause they painted the eyes on instead of just using moveable ones. Also, disgusting black wash on the teeth, but I guess cigarettes will do that.
>>5711771
>cor blimey those wankah's bollox'd up me teef!
>>5711719

>>5711575
Ah, I see. I'm a little excited at being able to compare the older ones to the newer ones once my order arrives.
>>5711712
Nice. It's been a while since I've bought any figures so it was confusing seeing names like Figure Complex, Kenelephant, and Vulcanlog at first. As long as we keep getting figures with Revolver joints I'm happy.
>>5711771
All I could think of was this

that's a bootleg, r-right?
>>5713130
No, the bootleg is somehow even worse.
>>5713130
The funny part of that is he got a price hike later on. Glad I got in my preorder early but I wasn't and probably many others weren't ready for the final release. Though doing a custom Snake on the side is tempting.
>>5713139
>>5713157
Fuck, I hate looking at those promos. The beard, expression, coloring of the suit, cleanness of the shading, even the glossy finish on the gun was missing on the final one. We could've had a fantastic figure, instead we got an overpriced mediocre one.
>>5713139
Zombie snake
>>5713168
Maybe I'm adding salt to the wound but it's even funnier there's a promo Snake sitting around a GSC office with the original detail and paint job.
Well, I hope the next Metal Gear project would make another figure. Even that Pachinko trailer makes me want a Revoltech MGS3 Snake with the croc hat and a variety of guns. The sculpting on Venom was on point and all you needed to fix was the eye
>>5713174
I'd fucking kill for a MGS3 Naked Snake after the perfection of that Venom, but I just don't see that happening.
That Gurlukovich Soldier's looking okay, hoping it doesn't end up a disaster like Solid did. And is that a fultun ballon in the lower left corner?
>>5713180
Nah I'm sure the soldier will end up good. No face to really fuck up but I hope they learned about Snake's loose torso joint. It's the price that hurts the army building aspect though.
The Fulton is from the Venom Snake Nendoroid.
>>5713182
The price is ridiculous, hoping they don't sell well and end up discounted. Also the articulation looks really weak, almost no forward movement in the legs it seems, and the torso's bound to be heavily restricted because of that vest.
I want to say I'd like a Revo soldier of some sort, but we all know how that ended up last time.
>revomini Solid Snake better than the figma
>but figma is going to put out enemy soldiers that will actually scale with like 90% of figures out there, while revomini is doomed to forever be a manlet

Fuck you, Konami. Fuck you in your retarded asshole. How can one company be so fucking bad at everything?
/r/ing pictures of the Star Wars Revos if anyone has them. I'm thinking of grabbing Vader. I compared it to the Figuarts and Mafex and like the stylized sculpt a lot more. Anyone have it?
>>5713224

>>5713224

AW YISS LADS, wanted this guy for ages after I went for the PAK over it. I can now forgive myself.
>>5713246
Nice. I still have his first figure from mgs2sol
>>5713231
Nice. Aren't his legs on a T joint or something? I know he isn't known for... dynamic movement, but that kind of sucks.
>>5713241
I looked into it briefly, and might get that one as well, but I'm thinking of getting the Revoltech first. I know the cape is bulky and jointed and everyone seems to have it, but for some reason I think it looks cool. I guess I want opinions on it from people who own it before I take the plunge.
How's the articulation on the kit?
>>5713246
Very lucky. I couldn't find a Raiden for cheap so I ended up snagging the white version.
>>5713257
*hate it
>>5713257
They are on a t joint but he has more articulation than the kit. The kit from what i saw on a review can only move his legs out a tiny bit. But arms, knees and head are all gr8. You can get some pretty dynamic poses for being a c3po.
>>5713261
I remember debating getting that one after missing out on the original when it was cheap, but I ended up getting the shitty PAK that came with the game.
I swear I saw him for like 8k yen on Mandy the other day. Crazy.
>>5713268
Last I saw the white Raiden's were around $50-60 on Amazon/eBay. I got mine for around $61 IIRC.
>>5711780
They are made of 3 separate pieces, where as the later 6mm are made of 2 pieces, the are structurally different designs.
>>5713191
I don*t think Konami controls that, it's up to the toy companies to ask Konami's permission to release the figures they want to make. Unless Konami puts a stop to them which I doubt they do.
>>5713774
>I don*t think Konami controls that
It makes little sense to me that a company wouldn't order a certain size/whatever of a figure be made if they're going to give out the license at all.
>>5713782
I honestly don't think most license holders give a damn about things like that. They got asked for the rights, got paid for them, and probably got the chance to thumbs up/thumbs down the end result. I'm sure there are a few collectors at konami, but I guarantee the people actually in charge of rights probably doesn't make much of a distinction between figmas, revoltechs, and posters of big boss, much less action figure scales.
>>5713794
Game companies probably consider merchandising to be superfluous extra income at best that they make little real money from. WoW had little extra stuff when it was making money off the subscription fees- MMOs generally have little merch when they make money off digital sales. Likewise, the small pittance Nintendo gets off figures is probably nothing to them(they have enough money in reserve that they could lose money for 10 years and still stay in business) that it's not a thing they care about. They barely sold merch before, and even now they act like it's barely a concern to license it out.
It's mostly failures like Sega that try to sell other stuff, when their games are horrible.
>>5713157
How did they mess up this bad?
>>5714638

Awesome, thanks anon. I know what C3PO I'm getting now.

>mfuckingfw
I could get it from amiami WITH EMS shipping and it would still cost me less than that.
>>5715105
you gotta pay for your Healthcare some how.
>>5715105
You can't expect stores to get imports and not charge more than the regular online front. My comic and import shops have similar prices.
Though it only works for those who don't know anything about AmiAmi or Hobbylink Japan and/or prefer to pick up the figure in person and inspect it themselves. I saw a guy pick up a Venom Snake for $80+tax at my local comic place.
>>5715166
But this mark up is bullshit because my hobby store buys in bulk from retailers.
>>5715181
Same thing with my places. I'll caution a guess that there is a customer base who are willing to buy at those prices thinking you can't get imports any easier than that. Don't get me wrong that price is ludicrous for a figure like that but if they can move it then they are willing to mark it up. Though they have to also realize that's a pretty nutty price and only one or two people will just buy it while they sit on the rest they bought in bulk.
Hopefully they mark it down at some point unless they plan to keep it eternally at $100+
>>5715181
This is why having no loyalty whatsoever to anyone and buying only from whoever can provide the lowest price is the true /toy/ master race.
>>5715228
Agreed,
Now back on the topic of Revoltechs, anyone have Boba Fett? /r/ing opinions and pictures if possible.
>>5715231
Super fun, replace the cape if you can.
>>5715347
That 2nd panel.
>"Oh fuck I put the jetpack on upside down again shit!"
>>5715231
I'd say I'm happy with him, with a couple asterisks. His torso really is as freakishly long as it looks, so if you ever have him just standing straight up he's gonna look weird. He looks great doing action poses though, and he's got more than enough range to pull them off. His ankles have some excessive molding which makes him a little hard to stand because he can't quite tilt forward enough though. That doesn't really bother me because he's practically made for a stand. I like him ten times more than the black series, but if either of the mafex ones end up being good he's probably getting sold.
>>5715361
I agree about the proportion issues, but I find he's actually quite easy to stand if you know what you're doing
>>5715372
I mean, yeah, it's doable, I just wish he had room past the sculpting for one more click forward on the ankles. What's that fire effect from btw?
>>5715414
If you pull the joint out a little and force it forward, you should be good. The flame effect is from the Star Wars Vintage Collection Shae Vizla, pretty hard to come by nowadays sadly
>>5715361
>Mafex
>Better
Yeah no. Not gonna happen. That line has had repeated QC issues (fragility AND joints popping up super easy as hell), articulation issues (stupid engineering) and sculpt/paint issues. Mafex could have been great but holy shit did they drop the ball. Don't be shocked if it ends up having less range than the Black series and ends up with QC issues up the ass.
>>5715486
Agreed with everything said here. Proportions are pretty bad with those long ass arms and thin little hips, shoulder pads are connected to the torso, and there's no hinge on the front pockets.
>>5715534
Yes, it's a little large, but I think it's looks a lot better, and is more accurate to the film.
>>5715541
How'd you attach it?
>>5715564
Just superglue. It's held up surprisingly well over the past year
>>5705364
I rubbed an eraser on his face to take off some of the orange wash and shaved off most of the eyelash paint and he looks closer to the promo images.
He looks better with his head tilted down a little too, probably why all of the promo images have him like that.
>>5715571
Very nice. I'll probably stick with the cape it already comes with since I don't have the black series one, and don't want to pay late tax for just a cape. I really think the Revoltech is the nicest 6 inch Boba out there.
>>5715580
I tried that, but didn't notice too much of an effect. Maybe I wasn't rubbing hard enough, might try it again. Definitely made to look downward, many people didn't realize that and were pissed when it "didn't match the promos"
>>5715585
Yeah, not worth buying the figure over, I just happened to have it already. I definitely feel that it's stronger than the BS in nearly every regard. An SHF could beat it, but seeing how Jango's looking, I have low hopes.
>>5715588
I rubbed pretty hard and it still took probably over five minutes to get it looking decent.
website updated but I cant read moon
>>5716231
They're taking votes for new Legacy of Revoltech releases. You can vote for up to five Revoltechs each day. If you follow their Twitter before voting you're eligible for a chance to win prizes, unless you're a filthy gaijin.
>>5716249
Nice, you have a link? I want to vote for Megatron.
>>5716251
http://kaiyodo.co.jp/rv10/
>>5716253
Thank you, kind anon.
>>5716249
If we vote for Dante, are we gonna get a shitty shivelshit or are they gonna redesign him from the ground up?
Any way to tell who is winning? I can't read moon so the whole site may as well be sanskrit far as I'm concerned.
>>5716318
Do you know what a Legacy release is?
>>5716318
IIRC the last batch of Legacy's didn't change anything other than the old revo joints, so just assume nothing is getting changed unless it's a revo joint.
And remember, a vote for Melona is a vote for lewd figure headswaps for damn near any female character ever.
>>5716318
It's just a re-release.
>>5716318
they only update the joints, not the scuplts for legacy releases.
Layton needs a comeback. Maybe Zangief, and some other high value releases that could use a reissue. Would be cool if Bandai and Max Factory did something like this too.
>>5716361
>Revoltech
>total bros who do fan vote re-releases
>Max Factory
>lol sure hope you like $200 Ryuko's, $400 Berserker Armor Guts, and $120+ Sabers
I can't tell because I'm in Japan now, but i assume you can see and vote from outside of Japan? Just no winning of prizes.
>>5716370
I'm in the US, I can see the site, but I can't read a damn thing so I've no idea how to do anything.
>>5716363
Do these companies acknowledge places like Mandarake and consider people would get figures off them that way so it saves the work off reissues?
Since we're all on the subject of voting, post which Revoltech you want to get a re-release.
>Megatron
>Melona
>Starscream
>Yotsuba DX Summer Vacation
>Ultra Magnus
>>5716385
Why the Transformers? I mean, they can't transform. Kinda kills the play value a bit, especially with a good bit of those figures existing already that can actually turn into stuff. Especially if you count 3P stuff.
>>5716297
>And Ed and Al from FMA?
I got you there. Really want them myself as well.
Also requesting votes for Wolfwood. Owning Vash without Wolfwood feels wrong.
>>5716387
I actually like the Pat Lee inspired designs, and yeah they can't transform, but they're Revoltechs. They can be put into some cool poses that the actual transforming figures can't. I already have Magnus, but the joints are crappy and I wouldn't mind a new one.
>>5716400
Yeah, I always liked the Dreamwave comics. Those were Pat Lee, right? Or am I wrong?
>>5716397
I'd think Ed and Al have a decent shot of getting Legacy'd. Japan liked FMA enough to get it a few games, movies, a whole second re-done anime, etc.
If Vash and Wolfwood make it I'd totally pick them up.
>>5716405
>Those were Pat Lee, right? Or am I wrong?
You're correct, and yeah I liked them too.
>>5716406
Yeah, he had a nice style. Reminds me a lot of some of the better IDW artists too.
I know many likes the humanoid Revoltechs (Vash, Raiden, Kinnikuman, Ed & Al, QB, piece of shit Dante Revo for some reason, etc) but if you're voting, please show some love to the Yamaguchi Robot Revos. There haven't been a new one since EVA-8+2 (Jan 2014) and they are all great and fun figures that don't have too much alternatives (or cheap).
Priority on the oldy super robots and non-EVA Gainax stuff for me.
BTW this voting site is great for seeing all the Revos, even shows the sculptors. I hope they keep something like this after the 20th.
>>5716722
Also people gave shit to Yamaguchi for the TMNT Revos, but thye are all made by someone else, three different guys in fact. Huh who knew.
>>5716412
Considering many IDW artists were original DW artists who drew Transformers in "Pat Lee's" style, that makes sense.
However, there is some controversy on how much Pat Lee actually did draw and how much was others ghostdrawing under Lee's name.
When DW went balls up because of how much of a real life shit Pat Lee was, Hasbro took possession of much of the art and used it as their own. I think that's why it got handed over for use in the Revoltech versions.
I got the Revo Megs, he's actually pretty neat for a little guy.
How exactly do I vote? Do I have to tweet it or something?
Will there be any new figure announced or are they just gonna try to relive their past glory here? Compared to Figma or Figuarts Revo's been faltering for a while now
>>5716733
I haven't tried yet. but my understanding is you follow Kaiyodo's account, and click the Revos you like and that opens a twitter thing...and that's it? I really don't use twitter much I barely remember my login. But each picture says ''Vote'' on them so I assume that's it.
>>5716738
Underwater Knee Socks. I'm sure there is more but nothing cool...
New Yamaguchi made ''hero'' is a separate thing I think. Main dish is the voting.
>>5716762
>Underwater Knee Socks
Literally who
Also, Arthur from Capcom and Beats from JSR/SEGA. Thanks for all the dead characters that's 20 years too late. I don't understand Revo/Kaiyodo's game plan at all. I love Revo just like everyone here, and it's nice that unlike Figma or Figuarts, you never feel jewed by Kaiyodo, if a Revo figure does suck its never from the lack of trying, but their character selection is so crazy and out of bounds. Do they not need money? Feels like there's absolutely no rhyme or reason at all, other than MonHun being the mainstay in Revo line and the only "exclusive" for the line.
>>5716772
An anon from the last thread did an explanation of Revoltech
>Kaiyodo in general doesn't really try marketing towards the same demographics as their competitors, because collector-focused articulated figures have always been more of a side business for them. The bulk of their business, even before Revoltech, came from capsule figures and products aimed at older audiences (miniature animal and plant replicas, etc.). That's the main reason we've gotten things like the Danboards, Rilakkuma and other mascots, and the Takeya line - rather than the usual "try to predict what will be popular and milk it before nerds move on to the next thing" strategy employed in this field, Kaiyodo instead tries to woo people who don't normally buy posable figures in the hopes of creating new buyers.
>>5716762
Hero and is pretty topical right now...
>>5716772
>Literally who
oh, anon. I have such wonders to show you
>>5716772
This >>5716775
Kaiyodo makes all the money from Capsule figures. they grew so much as a company with Choco Egg figures.
Also WF makes some money for them? I have no clue how an event like that financially works, might be charity level for them.
Also, what you are pointing out is all Union Creative's selection. Different company different ideals. They distribute for other companies like Sentinel and I think their selection is closer to what gets figmas.
>>5716782
I'd buy the hell out of an All Might.
Okay I tried voting. Just follow @kaiyodo_PR and click the Revos you want and hit the tweet tab on the window that appears.
Huh voting tab disappeared after 4...I thought you can vote 5 a day.
>>5716253
Hell yeah, voting for legacy im@s Frauleins, just coz I'm pissed at not getting any more MGS.
>>5716253
Vote Layton you punks
Is there any way to tell who is winning?
Need a new-joints Melona so fucking badly, and I'm curious as to who exactly is winning.
>>5717129
No, I'm voting Mr Incredible and Danbo.
>>5717234
The number that is next to the tweet when you vote is the total so far...? I don't know how twitter works. Or search the Revo*s number.
How are the original Revoltech evas? The very first ones
quick question
do you think there is any chance the EVA EVO unit 05 will be released as a legacy? Or is the evangelion line oficially dead?
>>5718006
Same chance as anyone else with this poll. You want it, you better vote for it, and hope others do too.
>>5716722
Actually there has been a limited yamaguchi release of eva unit 04 this year.
It's a pretty cool figure but sadly it was a Universal Studios Japan / Evastore limited, glad I got it.
>>5718020
I just asked despite the poll since it's weird that it's the only one of its line that didn't get a legacy... how unfair, since it's the priciest one.
>>5718033
I forgot about it, and I got it too haha. Still barely anything new
>>5718080
Because 05 is a shitty unit that no one wants. Only top sellers got Legacy release. EVO body 08 didn't get one either despite the chance of fixing the paint problem. But they might do all the 3rd movie ones in a batch someday.
>Megatron
>Starscream
>Jason Voorhees
>Melona
>Snake (it says Ground Zeroes)
Did I do good /toy/?
>>5718251
Eh, I mean, it's nice because it's very different and adds variety to the line but yeah it was poorly executed indeed, especially the fact that it's out of scale. Guess I'll just settle for the 077 one, since I don't really feel like spending 80+ bucks on the slightly-less-sucky one.
Also, can the 08 be considered an EVO? It's from 3.33 and the box does not say evo and does not have angel parts and so on (Not that there would even be a need for a legacy of any of the 3.33 ones)
>>5718266
>Melona
Yes, yes you did Anon.
Want to vote but fuck twitter. Going through the list was cool though. Would've probably voted the Elric Brothers, Echidna and maybe the turtles.
>>5718362
If I had twitter I'd vote the Raoh/Kokuoh 2 pack. So expensive these days
>>5718281
Did it not? Anyways the same body so it should be. Makes it easier to distinguish than alpha and beta.
EVA-13 is harder to get so rerelease would be nice.
>>5718266
So does it not lock up (vote tab disappears) after 4 votes for you? I can vote again if I erase my History, but then I can go more than 5 it seems. I got to keep track myself but it seems something is broken.
>>5718266
Also that is PW Snake for sure.
> all these ugly snake figs
Just re-release this please.
>>5718409
I voted for the 5 of them and the option to vote disappeared afterwards. I'll check again tomorrow and see if it'll allow me to choose 5 again.
>>5718412
Yeah, the picture is of PW Snake, but the text reads Ground Zeroes, so who knows. I figured why not since I haven't gotten around to picking up either.
>>5718573
If not for the bad hand connector pieces, I would have kept my copy. He was one of my first Revo figures along with Raiden.
>>5718575
Both are up on Mandarake for decent prices. PW at 3500 and GZ at 5000
>>5718583
Nice, I didn't see them last time I was on there. I just ordered aa Boba Fett and a few figmas so hopefully they're still up next time I can order stuff.
