pondo Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 what's yer preference? I've got the revoltechs which are pretty sweet, but the yamato G-NU flexibles look quite cool too... anyone ever done a great side by side review? Quote
arrow Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I have both. I prefer the clean lines of the GNU. the revoltechs always have limbs at an odd angle since that is the look they were made with. Quote

ff95gj Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I have both. I prefer the clean lines of the GNU. the revoltechs always have limbs at an odd angle since that is the look they were made with. I don't like the design of the revy for the same reason. GNU looks okay, but have an insane price-value ratio. They look better but not worth that much to me. Still, I would pick up a 1S because I am a sucker. Quote
Graham Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 GNUs all the way. They have a good sculpt, nice crisp clean lines and decent poseability. Saw a YF-19 GNU for only HK$60 (US$7.70) the other day. Revys on the other hand are made of PVC which I hate, as it lacks the crispness of line that mecha toys need. The VF-1's have horrible hunched shoulders, Plus, the legs are permanantly spread like a cheap whore. Graham Quote

The M+ ones are dirt cheap (but I am not a big fan of M+ regrettably). Cheaper than revys. Quote
DarrinG Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 No wayyy - Revy's RULE! (I love the smell of fresh PVC in the morning . . .) Quote
eugimon Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 No wayyy - Revy's RULE! (I love the smell of fresh PVC in the morning . . .) then you're leaving them in the sun too long... Quote
IIymij Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I have both but personally I like the revy's more. There seems to be more articulation in the revy's then the GNU's and the GNU's appear more static but that maybe because I don't have a stand for them like the revy's. Quote
Renato Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Revoltechs are way better value for money in my opinion. My GNU 19 is a complete floppy mess right now. Even at half-price I feel like I wasted my money. Quote
Ghost Train Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 For accuracy and looking nice on a shelf - GNU For exotic posing positions - Revoltech Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Never really liked Revos, never had a GN-U cuz they are not worth the price but I1m waiting to see how the Robot Damashii will turn out. Quote
pondo Posted August 15, 2009 Author Posted August 15, 2009 if anyone has both, I'd LOVE to see some side by side shots.... Quote
Valk009 Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 The GNU are for sure a better buy, I am now just waiting for the Fast Packs to be sold locally. It is already out in Japan for quite some time. Quote
ff95gj Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 The price for the VF-1 GNUs are dropping! Already down 20%. I think I would be getting them too when the price is right... Damn it, the Kakizaki 1A is web exclusive!!! Quote
vendetta Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Revoltechs for me. I'm a big fan of the line in general; the poses you can do with these things are phenomenal, and relatively speaking they're a great value. Quote

nexxstrait Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 GN-U VF1J pics with Revoltech (and other VF1)comparison VF1J is extremely poseable but is somehow floppy, much more floppy compared to MPlus GN-Us, especially the chest area joint. Figure comes with transparent display stand. Comparison pic with Revoltech Comparison pic with Yamato 1/48, 1/60v.2, Revoltech, Toynami 1/100 and Banpresto 1J figure Quote

I like the look of that GNU!!!!! great legs! Quote
Ivan Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I agree. The GNU has much nicer sculpt. I personally hate those ball joints on the revoltech. Nevertheless, I must say I quite like the human action figures from Revoltech Quote
anotheran Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 After seeing those pics from nexxstrait, I really want a GNU!!! Quote
