Here's one more shot I forgot to post...

I love the aluminum falcon line.... and the "I love you too"

Dang, I was hoping you were looking for someone to detail your Yamato, which I am trying to start offering... everyone loved my GBP, and I think I'm at the skill point where I could offer services to other people...

The Getter really only has two of the Revoltech joints? Weird.... After looking over it alot more, I think that the Dougram should really really have Revoltech joints in the elbows instead of 2d swivels.... it's got them everywhere else, and the Revoltechs work really well in the Eva elbows... maybe they'll start selling baggies of Revoltech joints... probably wouldn't be too much of a hack job to cut out teh Dougram's elbows and drill holes for Revoltech joints... of well. I'm thrilled with this line so far. Glad to hear the Getter's good too, even if it's only got a few of the new joitns, which is really weird. I woulda expected at least the shoulders as well..... that are a really good solution for shoulders from the Eva at least.

It's almost 6 inches I think... haven't got a ruler close somehow... I'm happy with it for the price...

Yes, yes and yes. My feeling with the past 5 to ten years of comics has been 'meh, give me some 60s and 70s comics instead.' While the printing quality stunk (aweful resolution and often misaligned printing,) I personally think that alot of the raw art (especially the pencil work) is better than ALOT of stuff put out today (Brian Hitch and Turner aside...) to say nothing of the writing. Nowaday's Photoshopped mock-painting styles just suck ass and I hate them... they feel really cheezy and look really ugly. The old comic colorists really had to think about how to push the limited resources they had to the max. All that and, the layout of new comics just seems to utterly suck. It's all gotten real lazy and real sloppy feeling. Then comes the writing.... I haven't really really enjoyed a a new issue of most comics I read (especialy my beloved Iron Man) for at least three years now.... Ultimates is an exception, but alot of other books have been either PC'ed up or dumbed down, or a horrible cross of the two.... And did Wolverine /really/ regenerate from a drop of blood in the 80s? I want to see that issue...

Alright, here's a size shot... and while you're still complaining about the 20 bucks... I think this line fills a great size and content niche, and is arguably the most playable toy line to come out since Marvel Legends, and maybe the best action figure line since ML.... especially with the spread of characters and properties it looks like we can expect.... That said, it's almost (but just barely not) more posable than the Microman figure.... but it still wins to me, because Microman figures are pieces of crap IMO... no durability or detail....

*Sigh*....you're gonna make me go find some figures for a size shot, aren't you? Alright...lemme go dig up some figures....I'll post up a size shot in about ten minutes. I don't think we're paying for size here, I think we're paying for detail and a new joint system, which works really well, and is incredibly durable so far, and much more playable than alot of other super-posable toys... and besides, I'll pay 20 bucks a pop for the first toyline to do make proper toys of old school mecha like the Dougram and Ingram in a long ass time...

It's not really *small* persay, just not huge... what size were you expecting?

Sucks about the rifle....guess I'm not getting one. It comes with gun hands tho, so I can use accessories i've already got. I can't tell you if it's as tall as the old Evas bc/I don't have any, but I've got a comparison shot next to a 6" Snake figure... sorry. It's a little smaller than a normal 6 inch figure... I forgot to take a really difinitive scale shot, unless you want to use my fingers in the one shot.... I knew KingNor was gonna go nuts so I took a ton of action pics and some joint pics.... joints are as follows: Revoltech ratcheting joints: Shoulders, elbows, waist, knees, and ankles.... Revoltech swivel joints: Wrists, and a double joint in the neck PVC on PVC Swivel: 2 2D joints in each leg.... forward and backward hips and swivel thighs... Doesn't sound like a ton, but the thing to remeber is that each Revoltech joint has THREE axis of motion! The middle joint, and a swivel for each mounting peg... all of them move! I ran into one little problem too... the ankle guards are attatched to both the feet and leg in the mold with some little PVC tabs.... after a few forward and backward ankle motions, and tab molded to the foot broke, so now the ankle is just held on at the leg, which I suspect is better anyways as that wey it will be under much less stress....I think they wanted the ankle guard to move to cover the ankle when the figure was pointing its toes, but when you bring the foot in as far as it will go the other way, there is alot of stress there... small issue, but an issue nonetheless. And without futher ado, here are the pics!

These look awesome.... FMA'd be a good canditate for character figures in Kayaido's Revoltech line too....

I've got doubly good news....I got a notification that my Dougram from BBTS is in stock and going to ship soon, AND I got my clear yellow Eva.... judging by this figure (which is skunk plastic PVC cuz of the clear, so I assume that the normal PVC will be better, but this stuff is really fine) you guys are going to love these figures. The revoltech jkoints are simply awesome, great solid feeling ratchet, plenty of clicks for articulation, and they can really pull off some incredible poses. And for all you guys whining about 'big nut' syndrome, the Eva figure can stand with its feet touching and legs perfectly together..... it's got an athletic shape to the legs, so they look like a perfectly fit runner standing straight... legs bow and the hips and come together below the knees... looks great. One thing tho, there's a picture of a clear yellow rifle in a seperate bag in teh magazine.... anyone know where I can get this? it's all in Japanese...I can get a scan up if that'll help.

If only they had the MK II PG.... that's gonna be one of my next big purchases.

I find that straight up violent beatings works better for this.... I'll buy Starscream and Bumblebee and Prime and Hot Rod.... dunno about Astrotrain and Megs tho...

I'd love an F-4.... and to know how to fly <.< Those are some awesome pics...especially of the B1.... my friend flies a B1, but I'm not sure where.

There was that one novel, Starfleet Academy: Year One that was really really interesting.... I loved it... and it was really original and insightful.

WOW! The F-15 and Harrier MIB! Sweet.... the rest look pretty cool too, even if i don't like JMs all that much, but a collection like that is impressive nonetheless.

That would be amazing! A blank valk would be super useful.... I'd buy at least one...

Why not? Think of it as an excuse to buy two!

Godd*mmit, you're right. Ugh.....this sucks.... who the heck actually likes the Doga to begin with?

Now if only we could /get/ a next generation of Variable Fighters.... there's no mention of it with the VF-5000, is there? Or is that even canon? I forget...

I use www.voidgamers.com It's a minis site upload gallery, whcih is what I mainly use it for, and Gundam model's a /preactically/ Battletech minis, so eh, it's all good. It's not like they moderate it or anything, so if you needed to stick a few OT images on there, no issue.

There's a comparison of the Dante next to some litle lookin Dante in the link a page or two back, and there's a shot of the Dougram next to the old school Takara Dougram figure... they're about the same height, and you can compare the 80s robot look to the new stylized Kaiyodo sculpting, which looks awesome!

Exactly, which is why the decals should ome with the Zabi, not the Doga, to punish anyone who thinks the Doga looks good at all. Ugghhhhh!

I actually never did it.... It's on my to-do list...holds together alright in Gerwalk mode wtih only one peg
