Damn i missed my FedEx delivery by 30 min.....
Ironically i was out returning some stuff by FedEx.
FYI, always go to FedEx Office / Kinkos only, and not the Mail Box Stores FedEx recommends..
Trust me....
The mom and pops Mail Box stores dont Print lables dont give you reciept, nothing....they just take your package and thats that!
Oh BBTS also advise that you dont use FedEx Express drop off box as the package might get lost.

Welp! After 12-days, usps finally delivered my first 1/100 HiMetal-R Regult Tactical Pod. It's ok. Not tight, but not loose. Pod articulation is a bit limited in posing compared to my Revy. In fact, it can't really do my simple Revy pose. Can't quite turn the pod to face properly coz of the hip. Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedA bit awkward, but it's all good, tho. It's nicely big enough overall, and nice enough to be a Battletech Ostroc heavy mech!  The paint is a bit on the dull matte-ish side compared to the rather glossy/vivid Revy. Grey limbs instead of the revy white. Will think of other poses while I play more with it. |

Guess I won't be selling off my Revoltech... besides that, I've always loved it - it's one of Revoltechs better toys in my opinion.

Me too.
I got two too.
In retrospect, maybe i should of gotten just 1 of these......considering Bandai hinted theyre releasing the missle pod and radar versions.

i wasnt sure if the missles were gonna be an accessory set ie: mazinger or its own figure. so i wanted to be prepared. i only paid like 50 bucks on cdj so its not that bad. and i guess you cant have too many battlepods, right?

Just got my Regults in.
After a long month of a harrowing waiting from customs, i had to break it out and let it out.
Pros
Therere no PVC i can see...all quality ABS and few really good diecast bits.
No styro packing and very accessable tray with no tapes on the tray. The packaging box is absolutely beautiful.
The figure otself has an Amazingly detailed sculpt and rock solid joint engineering.
Metal count: The giant rod on the hip joint is metal. The entire knee assembly is metal...that includes the knees themselves. Yes, They are ALL metal. The super complex ankle and foot joint is a solid metal. Toes which looks tobe metal are not NOT metal....its a warm plastic.
Cons
Feels light. Wish it was little heavier with bit more metal.
The cockpit which is very nicely detailed sculpt wise, is not painted.
All in all, this is the Regult to get if youre fan of this mecha.

Wow that took forever!!! The weight was probably less because otherwise it would topple over. Anime never took gravity into account for an actual toy. But I still love mine and can't wait for the Officer Battle Pod now!

The Regult and Glaug look great! I can hardly wait to get my hands on the destroid monster and the rest of the Destroids. I truly hope this line is successful.
