Neo-Revoltech Gurren and Lagann

Posted by R-1 [www] 

Hello! First test post here. Wanted to share some pics and a review of one of my latest acquisitions.

Messing around with the posting is fun, but I still can't get a hang of certain things. My descriptions of pictures won't come out so I have to quote them. Is it because my pics are too large?

Overall, a figure worthy of its Revoltech lineage, and a lovely addition to any Gurren Lagann fan's collection.

Figure mobility is good, with all the limbs able to move around reasonably well. The front armor actually has a revolver joint, allowing the legs to move around more than what it actually appears.

He comes with plenty of optional hands, as with most Revoltechs, and they have large pegs as well, meaning that they won't pop out easily during posing. The boomerang fits snugly in his hand as swell.

I love the face parts! The uppermost part has a revolver joint, so you can mess around with it to make different eye shapes for Gurren's face.

The figure is not painted all over, but whatever IS painted is done really well. The markings on Gurren's shoulders are very crsip and clear.

Lagann has a few accessories as well. An extra face, two drill hands, and a larger drill which you can attach to the bottom, for those "fastball special" poses with Gurren.

I highly recommend getting this figure. Great poseability all wrapped up in a comical robot character.

    I added the word "test" on your last photo - you do not have to quote.

    My only Revoltech is a Saber I pair of years ago. This gurren looks pretty nice, but my only experience with the aforesaid Saber was quite dissapointing so I've ignored Revoltech since then. GS' Figmas really beat Kaiyodo's Revoltech (in my opinion).

      Sorry to hear about that man. But seriously, give Revoltech another try. Saber wasn't really a good one (The Revoltech version was the only one out at the time), but the rest are decidedly awesome.

      Agreed with R-1.
      I have plenty of them, and they didn't give me that much dissapointment.
      But I can't really understand your troubles, since Saber is Fraulein series, while in 10 Revoltech that I have(yes, my collection is that little thanks to the last move), only Yotsuba Summer DX that's non-mecha, so I can't really know how Fraulein works.
      So why am I agreed to R-1 is because I think you should try to start over with the mechs.
      I don't know if you like the mecha series, but if you try to give another chance for it, you'll know how good they are^^

    I picked this set up at AX last Thursday. It's so much fun! I have my Gurren holding up Lagann with the drill bit in victory XD Don't have a Fraulein Yoko though =/
