Those Ganmen figures look really nice, I was wondering if there were any other GL figures that don't get talked about more often.
I'd love another GL toy aside from the Revoltech that's affordable. Was considering the Impact one but I'm not sure the red plastic looks a bit cheap.

Revoltech-wise, there are a whole bunch of figures: - Gurren & Lagann (uncombined)
- Gurren Lagann
- Gurren Lagann Fulldrillized
- Arc Gurren Lagann
- Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann
- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
- Enki
- Enkidu
- Enkidudu
- Lazengann
Along with the two Yoko Fraus. Revoltech aside, the only other full-fledged completed figures that I know about are Konami's 'Impact Model' series and the 'Great Impact' chogokin. The Impact series only has a few figures, though; two versions of GL (one without the Gurren Wing and the other has a removable one), Lagann, and Enki. I have the Wing version of the Impact GL, and it's nice. It has a smoother look than the more angular Revo version. The plastic has a nice matte finish and I don't think it looks or feels cheap. The biggest downside for me is the color of the darker parts. Rather than being a grayish color, they're a dark green. It works, but I personally feel it looks a little awkward. Comparison image (sorry about the size, it's an old shot) For the other Gunmen like King Kittan, you'll have to resort to model kits. I've heard that Kotobukiya's 'Plain Model Collection' models have some limited articulation, but I don't have any of them. I think GL and the Gimmy and Darry Grapearls made it into the Figumate trading figure series too.

I know I had one sitting in my order list at HLJ for over a year (went in as an early bird) and they eventually removed it from my list saying it wasn't being produced. I have all of them, they're very simple, and require a lot of work to look good. These three, along with the white mass produced version were also released as part of Koto's Tengen Kadou model kit line. Finally there's also the Konami "Real Great Model Series" which were chunky PVC statues of Gurren Lagann and EnkiEmerje
