IXTL Posted October 23, 2008 Author Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) The next 2 Revoltech SFO figs Edited October 23, 2008 by IXTL Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 That new chick is cool. I got meself a Figma Kanu Uncho and i'm pretty impressed with what they have acheived with such a small figure. Around the same size as Revy Revoltech, and nice stiff joints. Highly recommend. Quote
emajnthis Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 i'm not a big fan of the new characters, they look less street fighter and more guilty gear or samurai spirits. Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I wonder what Kaiyodo's got planned for today's Expo. Quote

Lots of Fraulein, Assembleborg and Hakuto no Ken products. And of course the one Revoltech people have been dying to see since the teaser at an event earlier in the year... The only new Yamaguchi line figures on display were Black Overman and Enkidudu. Edited October 25, 2008 by IXTL Quote

VFTF1 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 But...but...but... That Alien in the pictures...it's not a Revoltech...it CAN'T be.. I mean...where are the joints? If that thing is a Revoltech then they did a darn good job of hiding the revolver joints! Clearly got it posed in "man in rubber suit" Alien 1st movie edition stance... but still...very...well done?

Black Valkyrie Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 All we need now is the Predator and some SW figures based on the manga designs. Quote

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Is that black and red King Gainer just a special repaint, or based on an actual paint scheme in the series? I just started King Gainer and like it so far, that Revoltech black and red version looks great. Quote
protostar8 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Anyone think we'll ever see Zone of Enders Revoltechs? (or has anyone ever asked the company directly if they'll make any and gotten a response)? I've always wanted one of those Jehuty 2.0 kits but could never find one at a decent price (as most are just recasts). Edited October 29, 2008 by protostar8 Quote
Mr March Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Revoltech Expo 2008 pics. And of course the one Revoltech people have been dying to see since the teaser at an event earlier in the year... That is beauty at it's most grotesque Wow! That sculpt is unbelievably amazing. It's a near perfect replication of the original suit; telltale translucency and all. I second the query about joints; where the heck are they? I suppose the shoulder joints could be hidden, but what about the knees, elbows and wrists. The only joints I think I can see are the ankles. Perhaps this is only the sculpt itself, before the pieces are molded for joints. If I follow IXTL's links, a larger photo shows the same figure in a Kaiyodo Revoltech display, so it's definitely a figure and not a statue. Well, I knew I was going to get one, I just didn't know it was going to be THE Revoltech figure to own. Quote
Valkyrie Nut Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 HLJ payment request for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann came today. Only a month long wait now... Mine just arrived today, not tested the poses yet but it looks good Quote

ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU stupid office comp cant' view the pics! I'll have to track it down elsewhere! Woo Hoo Ken is out! Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Checked out the pic barely with my craptastic usb device in an un-holy internet service land. Ken looks ok! Was hoping they'd give him the longer hair treatment, but i will certainly be getting him. Hope the face isn't too gawky, the quality on these SFO Revys are alot to be desired. Ryu looks ok though.

UN Spacy Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 BAD NEWS fellas. Yamaguchi is taking a LOOOOOOONG break. http://eyeonasia.wordpress.com/2008/11/12/...ve-immediately/ It has been announced in recent days that the Revoltech Yamaguchi line, Revoltechs first and best selling range is to be discontinued with immediate effect. Decembers scheduled release of figures (Enkidudu and Black King Gainer) are to be made as magazine exclusives, and won’t be easily available outside of Japan." "This news will certainty come as shock to Revoltech fans. The Yamaguchi line is considered to be the best and be the heart and soul of what Revoltech is all about. This could be one of the results of Good Smile Companies acquisition of the Revoltech brand. Kaiyodo do seem to have been having some problems with Revoltech over the last 12 months, there are been some serious QC issues and the fact that Fraulein, Hokuto No Ken and SFO ranges have all massively under-performed. Still it seems hard to imagine why they would cancel their best selling range. Perhaps Yamaguchi just needs a break, he has been sculpting 2 figures a month since 2006, that’s alot of hard work, and certainly worthy of a break. Quote
bandit29 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 BAD NEWS fellas. Yamaguchi is taking a LOOOOOOONG break. http://eyeonasia.wordpress.com/2008/11/12/...ve-immediately/ aw crap... Kaiyodo do seem to have been having some problems with Revoltech over the last 12 months, there are been some serious QC issues and the fact that Fraulein, Hokuto No Ken and SFO ranges have all massively under-performed. I haven't picked any of them up yet but the Hokuto No Ken and SFO lines aren't that old. How could they be under performing already? Or is it just QC problems? Another case of the strong yen hurting JP exports? Quote
Vifam7 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 aw crap... I haven't picked any of them up yet but the Hokuto No Ken and SFO lines aren't that old. How could they be under performing already? Or is it just QC problems? Another case of the strong yen hurting JP exports? I'd bet on the strong yen and rapidly deteriorating economy. News of the Yamaguchi line taking a break might be a conscious decision by Kaiyodo to step back in light of the bleak future. Quote
Mr March Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) As long as this doesn't affect the release of more Macross or the Alien figure, I'm happy But it sounds like all the best lines are going. This is bad. Edited November 13, 2008 by Mr March Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Thanks for the new pics IXTL! i am liking the figure, maybe i can sculpt a better head for him... The body rules! If Revoltech won't take up Macross then i hope Figma will. Otherwise CM is our only choice. Quote
UN_MARINE Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 i hope they tie up loose ends before they pull the plug. "Oh, it is sad day..." Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 My guess is Fraulein is underperforming because there's really only like 3 sculpts yet 40 releases... Quote

the white drew carey Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Guile has camo boots? Is that canon? Its hard to tell. In some screenshots his boots do look brown and green, in others they just look brown and darker brown. Hmmm... Quote
