Graham Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Now that the novelty has worn off, I'll probably sell mine, or just give them to the neighbours dog as chew toys. Really finding the Revoltech ball joints ugly and distracting, especially the neck and shoulder joints. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 To be honest, I find them only a small step up in quality from the earlier gashapons by Bandai and Kaiyodo. Not really my thing at all. Give me variable VFs any day! Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 yeah... and whats up with the no ball joints on the hips on all the revoltechs? methinks... overrated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly4victory Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Now that the novelty has worn off, I wonder if the production numbers were reduced since HLJ has gone from "to be released" to "out of stock" with no shipping notice on my pre-order. I hope the line continues...I would hate to think that the toynami's will out number the Revoltech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really my thing at all. Give me variable VFs any day! Graham Well, they weren't transformables before you purchased them, so they aren't going to transform afterwards either. In all seriousness, I can understand if people demand variable toys. But really, this Revoltechs function brilliantly for their intended use; highly posable action figures. Nothing more, nothing less, but you have to be sure you don't have a problem with the nothing more part before you buy them Edited November 23, 2007 by Mr March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboy00z Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Does anyone else want some pilot figures? I think that would be pretty cool since they already have Rei and Asuka. I wouldn't mind an Isamu figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) Sure, I want all the characters in the Macross universe as figures. I have been wanting a Laplamiz and a Gloval for some time now. I am so sorry that I missed out on the CMS Max DYRL (UN SPACY) Pilot suit (I have the Meltrandi suit version) and also sorry that I missed out on the Hikaru one. But there is definitely lots of uncharted territory. How about Breetai and Kamjin too? And a Guld? And of course a Misa Flightsuit (there is an unofficial one that I want to get). Where is CMS now? If you are listening to us please come out with some more macross figures!!! BTW: You know that you can get a nice Isamu figure (non-articulating) from CMS corp. Twin Moons Anime has them here http://www.tmpanime.com/index.php?main_pag...roducts_id=1527 Edited November 28, 2007 by miriya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 To be fair, I find that the VF-1 Revoltechs are not anywhere near the best of the Revoltech figures... they're fun and all, but I way more enjoy my Ingram Revoltech and my Dougram ones than my VF-1J fig... the design on a whole doesn't totally make a great action figure IMO... same reason Transformers figures aren't nearly as fun as real Transformer toys I think... (G1 TFs > Action Masters. Always.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Well, I never owned Gasapons or any other action figures. All I know is the three Revoltechs I purchased (VF-1J Valkyrie, AV-98 Ingram Patlabor and Unit 00 Blue Evangelion) are all really high quality figures that have fantastic joints, amazing articulation, plenty of properly designed accessories and some of the best small detailing I've seen on figures so tiny. They are so fun to pose and then admire on your desktop. IMO, the revys are a big win for a consumer like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Love the Revy VF-1's. now i want the other mecha, i wonder if Revoltech will bother if yamato gets in first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(G1 TFs > Action Masters. Always.) i completely agree. the best revolteh so far IMO is the Ingram 1. Amazing detail for such a little toy. I love the transformer revoltech's as well...they are probably second on my list. as far as good revoltech figs go, the macross ones are probably 3rd or 4th behind Patlabor, Convoy and Revy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 We've all been spoiled by the 1/48's. In contrast, the Revoltech Dougram and Ingrams were the first toys for their respective anime series in quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I don't really like teh Dreamwave models...so Revoltech Megs and Convoy suffer in my book for being personifications of Pat Lee's nightmarish designs.... But Revoltech in general I find to be absolutely lovely. I own a lot of them and plan on owning many more. My favorites...it's hard to say... Dix Neuf is great... But in all honesty...I really love Yotsuba :) :) :) VFTF1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I just got a VF-1j Revoltech, and I am quite happy with it. When I first saw them I thought it looked very cool and now that I have it here on my desk I am still very pleased. It may not transform but you get a trade off of extreme posability. The joints are tight and the joints to me dont stick out like a sore thumb at all. I think they did a great job of hiding them. Way better than the banpresto valks for posability. And I really like the display stand. My 2 pennies. By the way anyone know what the short black piece that looks like it goes to the display stand is for?

Im a huge comic fan and i love Pat Lee's work so when i found out that the Convoy and Megatron revoltech's were based of his designs they were a must own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqidd Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I love my Revoltechs! I have three on my desk at all times and I think I play with them at least once a day For $20 I am getting a ton of enjoyment out of them. I have also done some custom work on a few and it's nice to mess with something that is $20, not $200! I would never slice up a 1/48 but I will take the tools out and try something on a Revvie without hesitation. And on that note I just got a treat in the mail that is going on my custom DYRL Higgy VF-1S. Details soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vermillion01 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 its for linking the gun to the arm... you pull the gun apart and insert the disc thingy so that it can clip onto the arm armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duymon Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'm Surprised we haven't seen more Max 1S customs. Though we're going to have to wait to get a Hikky 1A before we do a Hikky 1S so that we can color match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfPuppets Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'm sure the 1A isn't the last in the series but I don't think we'll see another Macross release in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkReaper Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hi, does anyone know what the black part is? It came with my VF-1S and I have no idea what it could be used for. It's not on the box image either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
