...Is anybody else concerned about 3.0's 'mix of robots and humans?' That might mean that 3.0 isn't going to just be Yamaguchi sculpts...and we did see Queen's Blade figures on Yamguchi-style stands, but I don't think he sculpted them. Time will tell... It doesn't bother me at all. Just buy what you like, is what I say. |

Cedar, I totally agree with the "buy what you like" mentality, and I didn't mean to come off as a whiner with that comment. My only concern is that we might not be seeing as many robots per month in 3.0 as we're used to, which would be sad.
I think I'm probably just jumping the gun though. Even if it is for the best, I'm really going to miss having new Revoltech figures for the next few months.

Hmmm I don't think Yamaguchi would have just up and left without making some preperations in his absence. It could be that Kaiyodo is just re-focusing the whole Revoltech line and when it's done Yamaguchi will return after a well deserved vacation.

CMIIW mazinkaizer is Revo 1st generation.
It's QC mostly dissapointing . . . especially to some figure.
I'm just surprise that king gainer and Eva series is just fine.

Here's what i got.
My Mazinkaizer left foot joint is loose, so if you shake the figure a little bit the foot will fall(and this what bother me the most)
His arm swifle joint is not locking anymore so it's kinda hard to pose him(some of friends also have this problem)
His two hand is easily off(i don't know you guys but mine is easily off) and i neve think it as Boosted Knuckle.
Other than that it's pretty much fine. So let's just say me and my friends here are not lucky enough with mazinkaizer.

Let's just hope nothing happen to your mazikaizer.
Cos inspite of that defectiveness, mazinkaizer is sure is a really good sculpt.

On my Mazinkaiser, the joints were super tight, and it felt like they'd snap everytime I repositioned them. And as for the loose hands, the hands on mine were so on there that the peg snapped inside the wrist when I tried to remove them and I had to super glue his hand back on. |

Yeah, after the hand broke right after I opened the toy, I was almost going to call it quits on the series, but a friend bought me a couple as gift, so I started collecting them again.

Two that I have on the way. The GID King Eva 01 and the Clear magazine Special Eva 00.
GL WF edition. Its more expensive than hard to fine.
There was another higher detailed Eva 01 that was supposed to be rare.
I am sure there are others. I don't see the Black Lagoon girl anymore from the 1st release.

There are two different WF GLs.
No Revoltechs are really all that difficult to find, but as coldiron mentioned, some can get expensive.
Other "rarer" Revoltechs would include:
Set of 3 clear Evas, magazine mail-in, I think
Black version Mazinkaiser , event exclusive
Black version Shin Getter, magazine mail away
Different color versions of T-28 and Black Ox, DVD set exclusives.
Different color version T-28 (mail-in exclusive? can't recall.)
Partly clear versions of the mini-Evas, chase figures in the normal box
WF versions of the 2 Movie version Evas, that come with the clear mini-Evas.
Mirya Valkyrie magazine mail-in
There are some Amazon exclusives and at least one Fraulien mail-in, but I can't remember which ones off hand.

The Revoltech Wikipedia entry pretty much covers it, but has a few missing entries. For the core Yamaguchi series though, I believe the only missing figure is the first limited Gurren Lagann. I believe this figure is identical to the normal GL figure, but came with a "glowing" core drill accessory. It was released shortly before the normal GL was released. This year's Wonder Fest GL is metallic and came with a complete Gurren Wing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RevoltechJust a minor correction to domu's post: The "black and white" T-28 and Ox were a mail-in, and the blue "anime color" version came packed with a DVD. As a general rule, the show/convention exclusives tend to be the most expensive. Next up are the mail-ins, followed by the magazine pack-ins. The Friend Shop limited color versions are usually the easiest to find. |
