Mr March Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 IIRC- Revoltech is coming out with a "Patlabor: The Movie" version of the Alphonse, with all the bells and whistles (leg opens, collarbone lights open and close). Thank you drew. That is fantastic news! You don't know how lucky I am. I was debating purchasing an AV-98 Ingram Unit 1 or a Unit 2. Even though I wanted the Unit 1 more, I purchased the Unit 2 to get the shotgun. Now I can purchase this new "film version" Unit 1 with all the goodies without having to double dip!

the white drew carey Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 No worries. I have Units 1, 2 and Zero, yet I still plan on getting the movie version if/when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Well, it's not like they are Yammies, so I suppose double dipping isn't a big deal. And let's face it, these little figures are so cool any owner could certainly find plenty of buyers to sell what they don't want. Btw, the Type Zero looks really cool. I may have to pick that one up with the next batch of three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Btw, the Type Zero looks really cool. I may have to pick that one up with the next batch of three The Zero is cool to have for the big riot shield. I like having 1 and 2 stacked behind the 0 like an entry team.

Lynx7725 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Like so? Amazing what you can hide behind that shield.. Also, the VF-1J arrived; it's quite fun to play with, and the stand provided is great for airborne poses. The VF-1S should be arriving soon too.

Dante74 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Don't know if this link has been posted before. Lots of Revoltech pics on Danny Choo's site from his wonderfest summer 2007 coverage. (Helldiver etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermillion01 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I cant wait for those new Patlabor revys... i've been holding off on buying the others because of too many valks syndrome - PPMTCSG (damn you Yamato), but i'll have snap those puppies up as soon as they become available. The Helldiver looks amazing, and as for a deluxe movie version unit1.... bring it... i will buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Once my cam arrives (stupid seller had to send by a courier which means he had to wait till next week to send...) i'll post a huge ass battle diorama that includes all my available Revy's. (around 16 or more) It's gonna be filth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Crap.... I WILL buy the new Alphonse (I don't have Unit 2 or 0 cuz 2 is just like Alphonse and I don't really like 0) and I will HAVE to buy the HellDiver, and the new mecha, and Testuijin, and I might actually gave to a getter with that Shin Getter fig.

Fly4victory Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Like so? Amazing what you can hide behind that shield.. Yeah that is the one. I copied your idea a while back but was a little off on the position of the Type 0. After watching the movies I do not know if I would feel comfortable in such a formation.

Jeremy007 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 whoever did this did a really nice job. i agree, the BG looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx7725 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 i agree, the BG looks great. 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.

Dante74 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Why a big ol' robot would need a flight helmet is beyond me but that it sure looks good so who cares right?

Two heads makes the visor look like it moves up and down. Look at the color difference and the position of the slider on the center front of the helmet.

Mr March Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hehehe, similar to me an Neon Genesis Evangelion. I have seen some of the show, but I purchased a Revoltech without even knowing much about it. It just looks cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konimon Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Love the new labors but am slightly disturbed by the 'sliced off' feet hydraulics... especially when they've painted them so shiny! Although I like the greater feet articulation, it does kind of bother me. It would be cool if hydraulics were spring loaded metal shafts. What really bothers me though is that Brocken comes only with a steel pipe... Shouldn't Brocken come with a Walther MPL submachine gun??
