Lonely Soldier Boy Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Oooh! Those are beautiful indeed. Specially the first one. The WWII one is a great idea too. Looks like Hitler's secret weapon. Too bad it came out too late to change the course of the war Thanks Drif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 (edited) Awesome. lol Looks like Hitler's secret weapon. Too bad it came out too late to change the course of the war What do you mean 'too bad'? I can just imagine the Japanese bring out a Valkyrie/s and making mince meat of everyone and everything in the war. Not funny...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I meant too bad for Hitler. As for the japanese, I always tought that they have this huge underground complex were they're making an army of mechas to take over the world, subsidied by taxes on all the merchandising of said mechas, such as Labors, Valkyries, Garlands, and Gundams. Heck, for what we know they could even have a division of Köenig Monsters protecting the perimeter by now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy007 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 well, japan does have bi-pedal robots...maybe what we see on the news and online is a very small glimpse of what they have going on over there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_foul_fowl Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Seeing the Brokken, I can't help but hope for a Revoltech 2.0 Protect Gear. I'd love to have an affordable one, so far recent releases have been 1/6, very pretty, but heckuva ex. Would love to have one that I could fiddle around with...

MangledMess Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) Hmm, was unsure of where to put this, so I'll put here just in case. Mods, if you want to move this, that's ok with me. Was not willing to get another VF Revoltech for the cance-... er, gunpod, so I have Prime lend his rifle for Focker to go John Woo on everybody: Next comes some bit of hilarity: Caption it as you wish Geez, I might have to get a digital camera if I can't stop taking pics. It'll be better than my crappy L6 camera phone. Edited October 29, 2007 by MangledMess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protostar8 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 The BG are actually a series of mechanical base sets made by Kotobukiya, seen here: Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 They are very good and can be chained together. The accessories that come with them are very nice, and for 1/144 models are a perfect scale to display MSes in, though CCA-era MS are a tad too big. Even the Revoltech Labours look very good in them. If you got the space to display them, I heartily recommend a set of 3 -- but they do eat up space, so getting more than that isn't recommended. What mech is that in the first picture of set 2?

konimon Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I would love to get VF-1S just so Roy can steal a gunpod from my Hikaru 1J. Convoy gun looks just as good though. What mech is that in the first picture of set 2? That looks like Koto Demonbane. http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYKP-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i abhor mecha with big kneecap things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Don't like that mecha. Far too busy looking. It's like those over-the-top super robots or uber-gundams with all the crazy spires/fins/wings/protrusions. Way too baroque. Perhaps it might look better to me put into context. Personally, baroque only works for me when done in science fiction-fantasy anime. Specifically, when Japanese mechanical designers adopt western-style motifs to create mecha like the Guymelefs of Escaflowne or the Mortar Headds of Five Star Stories. The setting and a sense of majesty helps sell the baroque mecha designs and they mesh very well with the high fantasy-like fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Can someone in the know explain to me why this is listed as "New Price"? http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD01170 (Revoltech Eva-01 Type F [New Price]) Is it the exact same release as the first which is discontinued? Both look to have the same features, and accessories. http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD01110 (EVA-01 Type F AFC Experiment) Why so much more expensive? Are they that popular (imo it's a crap design.)

ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) Sooo, why not call it Rei? I don't understand where the term or name Fraulein comes from, is that the Japanese name for Rei? I guess if it's the japanese name for Rei for the original series then i missed it coz i haven't watched the series original in Jap yet. And Rei's bootei will never compare to Revy's. And Boobei for that matter..... Edited November 3, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Boobei for that matter..... Fraulein is the name of the new revoltech series. Supposedly the guy behind revoltech saber made this joint system. They feature shoulder and leg revo joints embedded inside the body, hence it's more optimized for female figures rather than robots. As for the reason why they are Fraulein, I have no idea. Maybe it just sounded good... Edited November 3, 2007 by konimon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
