the white drew carey Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Ahem ahem ! 389381[/snapback] No way. 389441[/snapback] I allready posted earlier in this thread that an Ingram was in the pipeline. I'm down for Getter 1, 2, Eva 01, Ingram and maybe Dougram for now. I look forward to seeing what else they do, the selection is delightfully random. 389657[/snapback] Oh, I do remember that, have no fear. It's just exciting to see a page online that looks vaguely official!!!
Black Valkyrie Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Oops I forgot, well at least I found a link

Besides, I never read your earlier post, Fort Max But I really shouldn't get too excited until I see pics of thing, and I would squeal with undying glee if a Griffon was made.
Black Valkyrie Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Lets hope they`ll make some Mospeada stuff.
promethuem5 Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 I can't believe I somehow missed this toyline entirely, but I just saw it in ToyFare, and now I am totally psyched. I'll probably end up getting one EVA, but for now, bring on the Dougram, and maybe even some same scale/size VOTOMS figures. That would be tight. I'm gonna need like 6 of that Dougram figure tho... cuz I'll have to repaint some in Battletech schemes

promethuem5 Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 Oh man! I want one of those clear ones sooooo badly now. I already brokedown and preordered the Dougram off of BBTS, which says June *tear*... Here's hoping they do more deserving obscure old school mecha....

Because if's a pack in with the magazine, it looks like i'll be picking up this issue in a heartbeat. Otherwise it looks like i'll just have to wait for the standard releases.

promethuem5 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 I wanna know too.... I want that clear figure really badly... but I have no idea how to get Figure Oh in the states...
promethuem5 Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 That's not fair...howcome we don't get full sized action figure pack ins in our American magazines? You guys get resin coinversion parts, special decal sheets, and whole figures, and all we get is cards and postcards... So, anyone got any ideas on how to get this issue?

Veritas Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 w00ts...revoltech Ingram protoype. 400265[/snapback] Ahh so it's number eleven now... i thought it was stated as being number 10 before? Any one able to read Japanese well enough to tell us what took that spot over?
promethuem5 Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 Woah, kickass. Yeah, anyone able to tell us what the other ones on the list are? I'm hopin for more awesome classic mecha, and the Ingram certainly fits the bill.... now I'll hvae to preorder another one.. I'm waitin for my Dougram, and I'll probably end up with an Eva... and Prime once I see more pics, and now this...
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 I just picked up my Dougram today from the shop. Yes, it can do all those poses seen in the photos. But the thing is made out of that rubbery soft PVC stuff though. I was hoping for harder ABS plastic. One downside to the ability to do all that dramatic posing is that the figure can't stand straight. You see all those 'big nut' poses with the legs spread apart? You can only stand them that way. They won't close their legs! The pic of the Ingram above with the big nut pose says it all.
promethuem5 Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Oh man oh man oh man, I want my Dougram NOW! I don't mind the big nut poses at all... truth be told, every single figure in my room on ym shelves is in a spread leg pose... only thing standing up straight is the Yamato Scopedog and GBP-1S 1/48 so they don't fall over But seriously, how does the figure hold up? Is it really soft PVC, or like, pretty rugged, but not ABS? Is there barrel sagging? I figured that the big gun would be all warped outta whack in the box, and I'll have to fix it with hot water or a hair dryer... gah, I can't decide if I'm really upset or not yet about them being PVC...
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Its not eraser rubber soft but PVC is still PVC. Don't expect a crisp paint job like in the pics too. Real thing is more matt and not as crisp. The linear cannon in my example wasn't the slightest bit warped though. But its still made of that PVC crap.

promethuem5 Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Same here... I've already got my Dougram pre-ordered, but I'll certainly not pre-order anymore until I get it and really go over it... stupid PVC bastards.
Mowe Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Who's the dumb ass executive making the PVC decision? That is like you finally got Carmen Electra onto your bed and decided to play scramble... Same here... I've already got my Dougram pre-ordered, but I'll certainly not pre-order anymore until I get it and really go over it... stupid PVC bastards. 400904[/snapback]
wolfx Posted May 21, 2006 Author Posted May 21, 2006 PVC over ABS is probably on a cost issue i'd think. That's why the Revoltech series is quite cheap compared to other japanese action figures. *shudders at the thoughts of Bubblegum Crisis*
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Well, they are very poseable, but within their own limits (e.g. the big nut limitation). Don't expct as much flexibility as those old GI Joe figs with the rubber band thingy though. E.g. on the dougram, some of the joints allow 2D movement only, not 3D.
eriku Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Hasn't Kaiyodo used PVC for almost all of it's figures for a long time now? I guess my point is I'm not surprised they used it on these. Disappointed, but not surprised. I might check out an EVA, but the rest of this line doesn't appeal to me. Not because of the characters, but because of the apparent inability to hold a neutral pose. The new joints are cool. I almost hope a better toy company steals the design to use on better toys.
Veritas Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Well don't know if anyone is still interested now that we found out the Revoltechs are made out of PVC , but FantoFan is offering up orders for the Figure Oh #100 that comes with the clear yellow EVA 00 that was mentioned on page 3: http://fantofan.jp/
zeo-mare Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 pics and reveiws, i love the Dougram http://pony-hp2.web.infoseek.co.jp/REVOL-GETTER1.htm
promethuem5 Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Well, even if it IS PVC, I am completely sold on the Dougram.... but I'm not sure what to say about those last two photos in the Dante review of Dante-ougram...
