You won't regret them, BWP, I think they're the best 'human' Revoltechs out there. There's a lot of parts recycling though, I think the upper legs are all the same, a lot of the veiny biceps are the same, and a lot of the hands are re-used.
Btw, the chains that come with Toki aren't at all significant to his character. He's chained up in a cell when Kenshiro goes to find him, then he breaks his chains like they were nothing, that's all. You never see any chains with his character after that.
I just ordered myself another Zeed soldier.... I may repaint some parts on one of them to differentiate the two.

@bro mpchi, good news bro, Raoh is bigger than kenshiro. Not as big as your photochopped there but its better than being the same scaled as the main cast. This is a good improvement!   pix from hobbystock. I hope DMC Krausser's cape is compatible with Raoh to complete the look with his helmet accesories. |

Good to see Raoh being bigger like he should.
So far, I like Shin the most. If I end up collecting these afterall, Shin probably would be my first. His proportion is nicest, and not so affected by the sleepy eyes.

Shin looks cool. He comes with two weapons, but I've never seen him use weapons before. These figures are really great, there's just a few quality issues though as usual.

Wow, this old dude was pretty tiny. Thought he was like a giant in the comics.

i second that bro mpchi.. I thought at first he was Gigantic.. atleast bigger than Raoh.. I thought wrong. LOL. But still, he's a cool figure. He does resemble this guy from Marvel series.  Maybe when this old dude is angry..he'll also turn..nevermind. |

Yeah, this dude is the jailer and he was huge in the comics, like a giant! But just a bit character who got killed nearly right away. So looks like Revoltech will totally milk the Hokuto no Ken series dry! One figure a month, I can see this line going on for a few years at least!
As for Raoh, he has blonde hair or at least he does in the beginning. I don't know if he gets white hair later on in the series tho...
Who here other than myself is buying these figures?

Still in their boxes? You gotta break them free and play with these guys! Btw, how is your Rei? Mine has this unsightly shiny glue on his forehead...
See no.14? That's Kokuoh, Raoh's horse! My friend claimed he saw the horse at some toy convention earlier this year in Japan but I didn't believe him (I thought he was looking at the Kaiyodo 20XX figure or something).
I'll be buying them all!

What?! I'd better check mine out...and also Opening them is not an option right now. sigh.. currently overseas.   Your friend probably saw Kokuoh at the pre release of HNK convention way back. Just assuming though but for the longest time (before the HNK update) i was led to believe that those images above were showcasing a HNK revoltech horse.. Lol.  (images courtesy of hobbysearch) |

The horse is indeed coming for Revoltech. They showed the silhouette teaser image. Maybe mid to late next year.
I have to admit I am being more tempted by this line. Shin & Rei are the main factors. Toki & Jagi too. While I still have some issues with some of the proportions, the comprehensive line do provide characters that you don't normally get. But if I let myself buying one, it'll be like opening a flood gate, since there will be so many to buy. I better hold my horses...and the new versions of Kenshiro & Raoh has not sold me just yet.

Hopefully this line will deliver the same breadth of characters that the original Kayodo line did.
This is currently my favourite revoltech line!

Haha, the other two new annouced guy is Kenshiro & Raoh version 2. Both are shirtless (last battle scene) version. Kenshiro appears to have some scratches/wounds. Not Raoh though. Raoh has a better head sculpt, but still on the skinny side. Though if I end up collecting this line, I would go for Raoh version 2. Kenshiro, not sure. The new head seems a tad better, but still not as good as hope for. But need to look at more pics to see how the final product goes.
As of white hair Rei, he does tend to show up with a lighter blue outfit often (sometimes in anime, sometimes in color posters...etc.), so its a good enough excuse to have a 2nd release. I am a big Rei fan, so if I do collect, I'll get both, and swap some parts to get the 'perfect' Rei. Like the outfit colors on white hair Rei, but not digging the white gaunlets.

The 200x series is already out...and sold out in most places... www.hlj.com/product/KYD01172However, the back of Toki's (HNK) box clearly shows that the 14th figure will be Kenshiro's horse Kokuoh-go. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the last figure in the series as well, but I may be wrong. There's a few more characters that they could make, I'm just kinda surprised at how extensive this line has become and how quickly they are pushing these out. I'm also a little disheartened that certain other lines haven't seen such treatment of late, including unreleased figures that we've seen prototypes of from WF images...ah well, V3 brings hope for those items and more... |

I think its quite safe to say the horse won't be the last figure of the entire line. It might be the last of wave 2 (listed for a Sept 2009 release if I remember correctly), but there were quite a few colored prototype shown before, including Falco, Juuza. And since they already made 4 of the Nanto, might as well make a Yuda & Yuria to make up all six. Saw some more pics of the Shin release. Looks awesome with the best face & proportion by far. Enough to get me this 'nay-sayer' to break down and collect this line (while re-reading my comics again...LOL). End up need to cancel a few other stuff to get fund for this. Oh well.  |
