wolfx Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 (edited) w00ts! Chalk another one up for Kaiyodo. Gazelle looks kick ass!!! Said to be released this December at 7800 yen! Edited October 6, 2004 by wolfx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow Yellow Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Since Yasuhiro Nightow is the character designer for both Trigun and Gungrave, this new figure looks like a wild west version of Beyond the Grave. Which is cool, I guess, since Gungrave kicks ass 7800 yen?? So expensive It's probably freakin hugh tho, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpchi Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Is this guy even in the Trigun anime? Or just in manga? Don't quite remember seeing him in the anime show. Looks heck of cool though, but 7800yen is very pricey for a Kaiyodo figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remembered a character from s.CRY.ed with an alter of a big gun like this dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow Yellow Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 (edited) No, he's not in the anime or the manga. I was reading somewhere that he's an all new Trigun creation from Yasuhiro Nightow. Dunno how he can be part of the Trigun universe and not even be in the manga or anime tho Edited October 6, 2004 by Mellow Yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 for a while there I thought it was the guy from Gungrave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 they spelled peacemaker wrongly...i tot it read Pacemaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 It looks pretty good, but I wish they'd put that much effort into giving us a Knives figure. Or even a Legato figure. Oh well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander McBride Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I want a figure of that guy with the really really really long sniper rifle. I just think the gun would be a cool toy to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinmoons Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Folks, just a reminder that this figure WILL make it to the States. I confirmed this with Diamond at Comic Con this year. It should make it to the States early next year and we WILL be stocking it. And I'm pretty darn sure it will be much cheaper than that Yen price.

BoBe-Patt Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 wonder why they would release a figure that was never in the manga or anime? At first when I saw this figure in prototype form, I thought it was that guy on the train with the bright colors and that silly looking gun with colors on it too. Man I forgot his name. But I guess it's not. This guy would've been hella cool in the anime. Maybe there's a trigun movie coming out and he's the main villain?

FlyingPika Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 (edited) That figure is from gun grave, and wasnt it realesed ages (more than a year) ago.... I would reconize that beeg ass pistol anywhere...... Ive had this pic for over a yr, i just changed it to jpeg version now... Maybe they didnt sell to many, so now they re-releasing it marked as trigun to help push sales? looks like a repaint Edited October 9, 2004 by FlyingPika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowerV2 Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 That figure you show has NEVER been released ever. And for the gungrave line only one figure was released and that was "Beyond the Grave". Gazelle the Peacemaker is a new figure for the Trigun line as everyone else has said. Anyway you should try watching the Gungrave anime. Pretty fun to watch. Good story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Jack Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 (edited) It looks pretty good, but I wish they'd put that much effort into giving us a Knives figure. Or even a Legato figure. Oh well.... Actually they are working on a figure for legato. Trigun machine had pictures of an early sculpt for him up before their site went down. It looked really cool, and had more of a manga feel to it. Also they were building this thing on some sort of movable skeleton or something like that, and it was so early that they hadn't gotten around to sculpting the feet yet. In short it looked like Legato was wearing elf shoes Edited October 9, 2004 by Father Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 This figure is out in Japan! Who's getting it? http://www011.upp.so-net.ne.jp/FILITHEYO/PEACEMAKER.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeo-mare Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 beat me to the link wolfx, he looks quite cool indeed i saw the pics on that site before.does anyone here know how big this figure is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 (edited) actually here is a link to the Gungrave figure he is similar but very different from the picture posted above, so i am pretty certain they are not the same toy, similarity does happen often in toys, probably the same artist for the 2 series. gungrave figure chris Edited January 7, 2005 by zeo-mare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 Here's pics for size comparisons. I only hope that they make figures of Junji and RB from Gungrave OD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However i'm not sure if it was ever released as a Gungrave figure or just scrapped....pika says it was released in limited numbers though. And yes Gungrave and Trigun characters are designed by Yatsuhito Nightow hence similar designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 thanks for the pic, kinda expensive right now though. i thought he was talking about the other gungrave figure, i did not realize it, chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 Got mine! Its an improvement over the steallar gungrave figure. Gungrave's racheted points of articulation was all good but too tight, often causing my nails to break and causing fingers to feel much pain. Gazelle is made of softer material and has softer rachets. Only problem I have with it is the stand that connects to the back of his bum. Can't seem to screw that in.

mpchi Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Beyond The Grave seems to have the more appealing overall design out of the two, though its an older release. The new figure looks impressive, but mainly on the Big Gun. The figure itself doesn't look as hot, especially the face. Looked too comical on the eyes it seems. But still a very good looking figure, but with a pretty high price tag. I did get Beyond The Grave some months ago, and still love it very much. The only Kaiyodo figure that I can actually brag about its build quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Kaiyodo figure that I can actually brag about its build quality. You gotta be kidding.....i believe Kaiyodo is one of the best figure makers out there. All their stuff are high quality sculpts! Actually the TRIGUN line is exceptionally good, most notably Monev The Gale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All their stuff are high quality sculpts!Actually the TRIGUN line is exceptionally good, most notably Monev The Gale. Thats why I put 'build quality' on my post. No doubt lots of Kaiyodo figures are very nice sculpt. But many are prone to breakage. My Vash got really loose arms, Wolfwood feels very fragile, both Kenshiro & Raoh 200X figures broke a joint on the leg, peg on the stand broke off and got stuck in the shoe heal...etc. And none of the breakage cost by a drop of any sort. Just broke when handling it, and I am very delicate with my toys. I guess Kaiyodo either improved their quality a lot in the pass couple years, or these two figures are of the higher end release, as Beyond the Grave is the first in my small Kaiyodo collection to ever have ratchet joints and tight normal joints. Definitely a big step up on the engineering side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
