summer of wonder fest toy convention

Cyrano, thanks for catching my mistake. So many exclusives came out around that time, I got them all confused.

GID Eva 01 is the Glow in the Dark Eva that was a SDCC exclusive a while back.

There is also a yearly Winter Wonder Fest. The GL in the brown packaging with the clear drill was released at the Winter 2008 WF (I think).

[Cyrano]

Yeah, I believe the glow-in-the-dark EVA 01 is the only non-Japanese exclusive Revoltech. Kinda cool, but kinda expensive too.

I'm pretty sure you're right about brown-box clear/glow/spiral energy drill GL being from last year's winter WF. The metallic one is from this year's summer, if I have it straight.

The most expensive single Revo seems to be the Black Shin Getter at around $100, as far as I know. The set of clear EVAs (00 Kai, 01, 02) probably goes for more, but it is three figures.

(Side note: if anyone has and wants to part with said Black Shin Getter, PM me!)

Cyrano. I don't have a spare, but I'll keep my eyes open for a Black Shin Getter. I think it could be found for cheaper than $100.
The Metallic GL seems to be the most expensive from what I've seen. I don't think I've seen it for less than ~$120.

Found a couple of auctions:

Thanks for clearing GID. I thought i miss out something there.

In my opinion, the best limited series are go nagai 40th anniv. Black MAZINGKAIZER and Black Shin Getter.
The paint app. and details are just superb compares to other rare "repaint/additional weapon" releases.

They are best compared to (overpriced) Metallic GL and the upcoming Dark Overman exclusives.
D**n you Ebay!! lol

Hmm i wonder does the Black series QC is far much better thant the original?

[roboto]

The winning bid on Yahoo! Japan for the Black Shin Getter was 5,800 Yen, which is around US$ 60.

is the shin getter OVA a good figure? i was on and off about it on so many occasions

[faiz625]

Shin Getter 1?
hmm you might want to wash your hand over and over again befor you touch the figure.

Why?
The White Part is somehow sensitive to dirt, so if you accidently wipe it with your dirty hand. It'll mark there forever.
