What I like about these is that you get the hero character released around the same time as its villian counterpart, so, that should make it easier to "complete" a collection of revoltech specimens for that character's line. Like in this case with Gamera and Gyaos; and then there's Giant Robot and GR2 (Torozon)... two "completed" lines right there, for a decent price. zozo-Magengar

You'd be amazed at how many foreign plastic objects will fit these revoltech stands, joints, pegs, figure parts, whatever! zozo-Magengar

Yah i was surpised that the gashapon fit the peg/joint when i did the photoshoot. ^^ I still dont get why zero wasnt incuded in the package..maybe there's an Xmas version of Jack in the future where Kaiyodo will include zero this time.. who knows. Oh when i received jack, he came with a set of stickers..It also shows a Scifi set with a very neat (limited edition?) box..Cool but otherwise unnecessary for me since i already bought a couple of scifis Revo.

The Gamera figure is a rip off. It's so small and only a few accessories.

Gamera looks like he bit a chunk of that basketball, didn't like the taste of the rubber, and is Puking it out. ;D As for having only a few accessories: realisticly, Gamera is a kaiju monster... unlike your typical Japanese hero robot which has Many weapons/accessories, Gamera's only weapons are his limb-jets (when he tucks his limbs inside his shell for Spin-flight mode) and his fire breath, depending on the Gamera year verision... The old-school Gamera only had his flames. While the modern Gamera had stuff like sharp fins, his flames, and a chest fire blaster-- in his more recent movies. zozo-Magengar The Gamera figure is a rip off.

I would have liked to see a G3 version Gamera . Then Kaiyodo could have included a "plasma fist" accessory, and perhaps even a "torn out enemy core" hand ... It would have even fit with the Gyaos, but it was clear that Kaiyodo wanted to replicate the Gamera and Gyaos showdown of Guardian of the Universe.

Gamera is definitely not the greatest value in the series to date, but I don't think he's that bad either. Making that solid rocket-leg effect/base and Gamera's necessary hunched stance, being a turtle monster, certainly didn't help.
Didn't even occur to me until just now, but he'd look awesome displayed with the Iwakura Gamera pendant I have.

I just got my Diamajin today (a score from ebay for $20.00) and I love it!..not as playable as my other Revo's but just lovely!!..he fits perfectly on my shelf full of ancient artifacts.
it came with a plastic revo coin?! ..is there a revo vending machine out there that I should be aware of?
Can't wait for Mothra, Mogera and Lupin!

well, maybe revoltech could have included damaged buildings as accessories.

It would be great if they released a Biollante figure. They should put the two forms (the giant rose and monster) in one box!

If you're in Japan, once you get enough points you can trade them in for various items. well, maybe revoltech could have included damaged buildings as accessories. Well, Mothra has a kaiju'd Tokyo Tower, and Baragon has...a house. I guess that's a start! It would be great if they released a Biollante figure. They should put the two forms (the giant rose and monster) in one box! Yes please! Megalon, Jet Jaguar,and Battra!!! There's not enough of those three out there... }D Yes, yes, and double-yes. Maybe Jet Jaguar can come with a display stand that plays his theme song. I'd wear the batteries out in that crazy fast. Come to think of it, it would be cool if the Revo-kaiju could make their distinctive cries, so long as it didn't interfere with the sculpt or articulation. Oh well, they're still awesome anyway.

Jet jaguar is easier to sculpt but Jason is not bad as well.

I also heard a rumor last week that the upcoming Queen's Gate figure was not an official Revo release, but after going back and looking at the images again, it looks completely legitimate to me...
I kinda doubt that they would put the Alien Queen and Predator on hold in lieu of the aformentioned items. I'd bet that those two "characters" each have much larger followings in Japan than Freddy, Jason, and Michael put together. I have to admit that my interest in Revoltech (the brand) is really starting to wane a bit with some of the upcoming items...especially the thought of Jason, Michael Myers, and Freddy...and the lack of upcoming mecha...blech!!!
The Kaiju make perfect sense and have been beautifully executed. Woody, Buzz and Jack S. are all beloved characters and have been turned into fantastic Revos. I stuck with some of this stuff (the frauleins, the video game characters, and now a few of the "American" characters) out of curiosity but more-and-more of this upcoming stuff is just straying too far from home for my tastes. However, if they release a Creature from the Black Lagoon and/or a Pumpkinhead, I'd likely be all in for those...though I will admit that I would definitely buy a WALL-E...
Anyway, this totally supports the direction that I've been considering more and more lately...ie, cooling down the general Revo collecting and re-focusing my sights more on mecha and truly unique items. If nothing else, it means more money in the coffers, and more room for things like Assemble Borg and the Ashley Wood Robots. It's just sad to see the mecha aspect of this line cooling off so abruptly when there's still so many great mecha that we have yet to see from this line...
