>>11030577Please no bitching about store exclusive “DLC”
>>11030580We'll stop when you stop gleefully bending over for an unlubed ass ramming from Kaiyodo.
Marvel Gear Solid
>>11030585The eyes are still a bit rough looking and the kneepad sticking out like a spike for no reason is some classic Yamaguchi nonsense. Still looks like it will be fun to mess with though.Any pictures of the domino mask head?That is the main reason I bought this thing.
>>11030580Then you should hurry up and personally stop them from insisting upon it.
Not sure if this was brought up before, but there's no way we're not getting an AY of this one day.
>>11030607Looks fairly good. I can't wait to kit him out with some of the guns the other AYs came with.
If mecha AY took off better we might have gotten Yamaguchi Leopardon.
>>11030616Huh, I dropped the manga ages ago. They turn All Might into Batman?
>>11030718He combines with his car to makeup for his loss of ofa.
>>11030718>>11030723That reminds me of the Batmobile in Ninja Batman. It transformed/contained the jet, motoercycle, and finally the mech armor. I don't understand why we don't have toys of this.
>>11030714It's kind of tragic to see Yamaguchi being put on stuff like Marvel and DC. He does great work on those, make no mistake, but there is literally nobody else that does robots like him. They're wasting him. There are so many mecha franchises I want to see him tackle.
does super girl have a date?
>>11030585>>11030595>>11030607yawn
>>11030790I think we now have more places doing highly articulated or stylized robots than humanoids, so I get why Yamaguchi stopped making them. This >>11030714 is very Yamaguchi-esque already. With EvaEvo gone I do miss his PVC with simple joints figures of Mecha genre. It's mostly plamo and needlessly expensive diecast stuff. Robot Damashii is throwing in more Metal I noticed. And I think normal release of non-Gundams stopped since they kept flopping.Who knows maybe the trend will flip again and he goes back to robots. He does need to teach one of his underlings that side though.
>>11030585>>11030607Any pics with the mask and domino mask? That's how I've been thinking of having mine setup.
>>11030930He's not out yet technically because release date is 14th. These are from Kaiyodo. Stores will open in a few hours so we should start seeing pictures.
My Iron Spider's torso disconnected like pic related but apparently it's fine since the peg is supposed to be a friction-fit?
>>11031036No it's supposed to be glued on. It works as a moving peg but considering the weight of all the added mechanical legs they want that part stuck.
how is the raiden KO?
>>11030795July
>>11030790>>11030907I remember when mecha fans were shitting on revo sculpts as being trash for years. Not so much the proportions, but the crispness of the sculpts(or lack there of) it's all cyclical I guess. When the Marvel/DC stuff stops some people will wish they were still doing it.
>>11031244The main problem for that was the size, the Revos were too small for the PVC to carry details. That's not a real issue now the figures are like 1.5 times taller. And they could make just the head ABS if honest, that's the only place you really notice the difference.
>>11030577April group's PO starts on 6/18
>>11030616Yeah it feels like this was destined to happen.
This is soooo Vulcanlog Venom Snake.
It's jarring now that we have a standard build WS how jacked AY Cap was.Would you guys like a Cap 2.0, but it has to be tacticool modern comics Cap with same body type as WS or DP?
>>11031259>>11031263I am a bit pissy about the concept of these enhanced editions but as someone who skipped this one the first go around I am looking forward to getting this one.
>>11031273>Would you guys like a Cap 2.0, but it has to be tacticool modern comics Cap with same body type as WS or DP?I just can't bring myself to give a single solitary fuck about any of those Cap designs. They are just so boring. The only 2.0 Cap I would buy would be classic or Bucky Cap.
>>11031275Well you skipped twice since 2.0 had one reissue.Let's see if third time is the charm and they fix the sheath attachment finally.
>>11031280I honestly wouldn't mind Falcon Cap because Revoltech is the only line that does wings right. And I know Yamaguchi would make sure it can recreate this scene.
>>11031244The sculpts were never the problem really. If you look up old pre-production and proto pics you can see the sculpts are very nice. The problem was, Kaiyodo at that time was using very thick, gloopy paint (that also tended to get sticky over time). This thick-ass paint tended to obscure the details in their sculpts and make them all look soft. For certain figures I think it was also a choice to use a softer plastic that contributed to this.
>>11031269Yeah, they're gonna look great together. Glad I never sold my Venom Snake now.
>>11031273I'll lap up pretty much anything if it's Yamaguchi
>>11031339Same. No other figure brand is as fun to pose. It feels kinda nice to be a fan of a brand as a whole rather than the franchises, cause it means I'm generally never displeased no matter what they release.
>>11031280>Cap’s design is so boring>i would buy classic capAbhorrent taste boomer>>11031273If 2.0 Cap were to happen it would most likely be first avenger Cap or WS Cap
>>11031360>Abhorrent taste boomer>Lists movie shitJesus Christ man.
>>11031330Gurren Lagann is the one mecha IP I think AY should pick up if they are ever going to. There are so many good choices not just to redo but make proper action figures. Like the team, Space Gunmens, the mass production models, enemies, and the Tengen Toppa Gunmens from the movie.
>>11031360AY don't make live action movie costumes, ever.
>>11031365he never said he liked it, just that it was the most likely thing to happenthis is why reading comprehension is so important
>>11031370I'm honestly not sure how much pull GL has anymore. People don't seem that excited over the Buzzmod Yoko, and I basically never see it brought up anymore in anime discussion.
>>11031375I think mecha popularity and let's say pilots popularity are completely different. And so is pilot action figures vs statues. GL still gets completed models and kits made for the mecha side and they seem to do okay enough. Like what other new mecha IP in the last 20 years or so have a stronger pull besides some new Gundam series? Code Geass maybe? Is it higher or lower than GL who can tell.
Huh while I was checking on something I found out Gainax filed for bankruptcy just a few weeks ago. Granted I don't think much is left under the Gainax name anymore.
new to toys, and i just got my catwoman, my first AY. i like her a lot, and i'll be subbing her in as black cat from time to time. her right leg has a tendency to pop off. i wish her shoulder pads didnt limit her arms so much. im so fucking excited for arkham batman. im glad they didnt take as many liberties with his design as they did with catwoman. i feel like a pervert just for owning her.
>>11031373>just that it was the most likely thing to happenBut that's still wrong
>>11031463Which is also irrelevant. I never said whether I agreed or whether he was right or not. That was never the point.Like I said, you need reading comprehension classes. Badly. Guess it didn't take the first time you went through the third grade.
>>11031477Holy shit, you're an idiot.
>>11031482No need to get upset man. Your local community college probably has adult education classes you can attend.
>>11031482only idiot here is you thinking kaiyodo would even consider "classic" Cap when yamaguchi has a strong preference for tacticool
>>11031460>80% of the line is bulging muscular men wearing form fitting outfits with exaggerated proportions >1 out of 6 female figures in the line with idealized sexy proportions>i feel like a pervert just for owning her
>>11031490Just pointing out your moronic behavior. No big deal.
>>11031259Where did you get this information from? I'm checking Kaiyodo xitter and instagram and I don't see any info when PO starts.
>>11032172OK I'm retarded, I didn't check their Xitter for past few days and they post about it...
Someone asked for it so here, double mask.
Mostly Revoltecher's photos.
>>11032197Mmm, looks as good as I'd hoped. Thanks for posting.
>>11032197>>11032208I'm glad he has detached holding hands. Aizawa and Catwoman were the same. At some point we kept getting closed loop hands and they greatly limit what they can hold. I think the weapons packs are making future AYs to be more versatile. AV didn't make the cut.
>>11031370>>11031375Don't worry, now that Gainax is bankrupt (again) they'll start remaking their old hits with modern soulless animation like what happened to Spice and Wolf.
>>11032405Rights for those IPs may be going to Khara/Trigger. I don't think a final decision has been made yet
>>11032405I don't think Gainax owns any IP anymore, hence the bankruptcy. Probably couldn't pay what they owed Anno.
>>11031271Only thing that noticeably stands out are the grey joints on the metal arm. Seems like a weird choice.
>>11032706If you mean the elbow joints it looks like lighting affects it a lot. But matching plastic and paint colours are always tough. As for shoulder joint I don't know which one would be better. You could get two and swap the joint colours probably.
>>11031501like i said, its my first AY. i feel like the fact the only one i own being one designed for coomers will be called into question. shes has a face with her tongue out, and the movable eyes means she can do ahegao. all very weird to include. they get away with it because shes a woman, but imagine if they did anime bullshit with batman.
>>11032747>they get away with it because shes a womanEh the males do have movable eyes time to time. The musculature and how much care goes into the hip area being seamless or no visible joints at least is going extra. I wouldn't say it's that one sided. Tokyo Revengers AY even had their own unique fragrances apparently.
>>11032747>one designed for coomers says you. AY Venom, carnage and spidey are practically naked they even have sculpted bulge.>shes has a face with her tongue outso does venom>and the movable eyes means she can do ahegao.AY Cap and joker have screaming face with moveable eyes.You're reading too much into this shit bro. They just wanted to make her feminine and sexy as a counter to their male figures. I'm glad kaiyodo didn't go gay with their female figures like mafex or other mutt toy company.
>>11032804>They just wanted to make her feminine and sexyThis. Imagine if they did westcucks bullshit on their female figures
>>11032747It's fucking Catwoman, you retard, the most notoriously sexualized female comic character of all time
>>11032821>most notoriously sexualized female comic character of all timeI think Poison Ivy is more front and centre with that because of the whole seducing men with pheromones thing.
>>11032828If you were alive during the Burton Batman era, you'd know what impact Michelle Pfeiffer had on millions of teenage boys. Same could be said for Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt and Lee Merriweather in the Adam West era.Uma Thurman probably would have had a greater impact as Ivy had her movie not been directed by a faggot.And Anne Hathaway's ass when she jumps on the Batpod is the most memorable thing from that movie that isn't the opening 5 minutes.Slutted up Harley could also be counted these days.
yamaguchi so good
>>11032874
>>11031375For what it's worth, the movies got an anniversary screening in January with 4D rumble effects or whatever it is so there must be some audience at least.
>>11032427>>11032452Oh yeah, I forgot they sold off everything last time they died.
fellas, who is revoltecher?does he have twitter? i want to see more of his photosanyway attached my red hood with custom jacket
>>11032871Sorry I was looking at not just live action movies. To me Catwoman has more stronger elements than just sexual, whereas Ivy her main thing is being sexual. Maybe in recent years her first move is to fight with plants but I feel like a decade ago she always kiss and controlled men first.
>>11033249konah_u_donI think his instagram is more towards gaijin
>>11032174the pre order dlc is only from the kaiydo store?
>>11031375> Buzzmod YokoShe's not out yet and she looks great, probably the best articulated figure of her for awhile. The only problem is her retarded christmas stockings.
>>11033391Yes and whoever decides to middleman it.
>>11033472I got one but it was a bad choice to test the waters on modern mecha revos if that's what his purpose was, I would've picked Mazinger or Getter.
>>11033472I bought two! Alas, it still made no difference. This was a great figure, I was hoping for more. Most articulated Prime I've ever owned (and I've owned a ton of them).
>>11033555This head is still too big, and looks dead and soulless. This might be an ok fig if someone offers a FOURTH party head for it.
Yamaguchi...I beg
>>11033565So true, Asurabro !
>>11033472It was great and glad Yamaguchi got his desire to put out ABS action figure out finally. But DESU I don't think it was the right move on multiple fronts. The added costs didn't really resulted in a superior product IMO and seeing what he did with OP and Shinkalion Eva versus all the AY and EE he put out mecha or not you can see how much more can be done when the costs are kept low with PVC and shared joints. I just hate that one engineering decision is somehow tied to a genre. But I get they want to do what sells first. Maybe when those new Japanese IP keep failing like TR they get to bots again. >>11033557Kaiyodo get discounts on Takara.
>>11033472This figure was a master class in how to make a very bulky design super-poseable. It blows my mind that the rest of the industry isn't studying figures like this and learning from them.
>>11033565>>11033571Asurabros. Let us dream together...
>>11032821>>11032804>>11032816i dont mean to imply i DIDNT want her sexualized. i get that shes a temptress and all that. i feel like im already gonna be made fun of for being an adult buying action figures, and the added layer of sexiness is something i dont know how to process. ive gotten used to the weird looks people give when they find out i spent over $100 on a single figure, but im not prepared should it ever come up that i have a thicc thigh catwoman
>>11033472As a diehard transformersfag I just can't accept a tf that can't do its namesake... It does look really good, though
>>11033715You're really losing out then. It used to be a lot of people saying shit like this back in the day, when you had like, Action Masters and the handful of Revoltechs. But now there are so many companies doing non-transforming TFs, and so many of them are excellent. You're just forcing yourself to miss out on great toys at this point.
>>11033720I just don't see the point when transforming is a huge part of the appeal to me, third party pretty much has me covered when to comes to tfs that can also pose very well. Yamaguchi stuff is on a whole other level and worth even appreciating even if you dont give a shit about the character, and that fills its own spot in my collection
>>11033586It's not that distinctively different from what Bandai does in RD line, especially the Zeon stuff since they too are bulky. Some places the range is better. There are model kits with crazy shoulders like they have a series of 5 swivels or something like that. So compared to the 1/12 industry that hasn't done much articulation improvements from the Microman Material Force / S.H. Figuarts joint scheme, the robot toys and models have been doing fine. Innovations Yamaguchi is doing for the 1/12 I haven't seen others trying at all. The occasional let's pull the shoulders out of the body in the ugliest way possible to gain range attempts maybe.
>>11033555Nah nah nah, this needs work. Ditch the knee joints, just make them big spikes that are permanently attached to the shins so that they jut out when the knees are bent. And add a worthless bicep cut that barely serves any purpose other than breaking up the sculpt. And what's with that head sculpt? Why does it have a chin and normal looking eyes? It needs to look like it jumped right out of a piece of poorly fanart with giant googly eyes. And the costume? No, it needs to be the SF6 design that everyone knows and loves.
>>11033800Recommend me some good bulky RD Zeon stuff. The last ones I tried were the ANIME Alex and Zaku FZ, which I was thoroughly underwhelmed by and felt they didn't do much past the norm.
>>11033812>Zaku FZ,I thought that one was pretty good. Zaku that can do a 180 high kick, not impressing? Like most won't be that different but FZ has a good side chest section to move the shoulders more seamlessly. Dom types move about the same but with thicker builds. But I tend to like the amphibious MS like Gogg, those try different methods at least. I'm excited for Hi-Zack because the HGUC is ancient and that design looks so stiff to begin with.
>>11033928Not American and also buy kits too, idiot. Not sure why you assume such things.
man just appreciate the body lines on yamaguchis figures, despite all the articulation cuts everything flows so beautifully. all figure manufacturers need to learn from him
This guy comes over and slaps your girlfriend's ass. What do you do?
>>11033555I think I'm ordering it. It's painfully expensive and I can't be sure about the quality and durability of the paint, but it's Chun Li and it's an outfit we may or may not get an alternative for any time soon.https://33toys.bigcartel.com/product/pre-order-kaiyodo-style-chun-li-1-12-scale-action-figure
>>11034027I'm tempted, but I'm also worried about the quality. Is this like a 3rd party product or a customizer taking commissions?
https://myfigurecollection.net/item/2328216Apparently Yugi, Utopia and Yuma/Astral are getting figures.
>>11034138Well that's cool. Is Utopia the character on the right's ace? If so I guess that probably means it's only a matter of time until Revoltech DM.
>>11034145Yea Utopia goes with the character on the right.
>>11034138inb4 we get all 20 forms of utopia before DM
>>11034138Sooooo glad that more is on the way. The Yu-Gi-Oh figure boon continues. This also makes me excited at the prospect of more of those little Kaiyodo YGO figures from different eras, I hope those continue too. >>11034158Only after the 30 forms of Neos.
When the FUCK are we getting a Revoltech Daredevil?
Crazy to think in a relatively short amount of time we have every protag except Yuya now. Would be funny to see Playmaker randomly be in demand now for completion when he was quite the shelfwarmer.
>>11034173Why do I find that appealing?
>>11034173I've skipped the two so far, and I'll probably skip the kid up there and just be a yugiboomer and maybe grab Yugi depending on how good it looks. I just didn't find the prices of the first two, on top of how they looked, worthy of a purchase. I do think the 5Ds protag looked a lot better than GX though, so Ohtsu, of he keeps sculpting the humans, will probably keep getting better. I've been all in on the Monsters though, so looking forward to Utopia and I assume Dark Magician. Yugi had so many signature monsters that if they wanted to go that route and make a bunch of those I wouldn't complain. Same goes for the other chars, whatever makes a cool figure. >>11034173I could see him getting made and a Decode Talker coming. Would look good with the Moderoid Accesscode Talker, if that ever shows up. He was also such a weird choice by Figma... completely killed the line. Revoltech is doing it right by pairing the duelist with their monsters.
>>11034138didnt yugi already get made?
>>11034269That was a Vulcanlog.
>>11034269Also it was the one from the movie, so an older version of regular Yugi, this is yami Yugi/Atem.
>>11034178bussy
It'll never happen but I dream of Halo AY. Spartan as poseable as that AY War Machine would be dope, but I want the Covenant aliens done in full AY engineering glory. Elite that can hit all the poses would be such a treat. I thought Sentinel mentioned doing Elites way back but I'm not sure. Anyways they're not doing anything that crazy with articulation and their armor designs are hurdles on articulation if you want to be accurate. Yamaguchi would just be like "cut apart the chest for butterfly joints and cut the thigh armor for diagonal swivels." I want MC to have 4 human weapons and Elite 4 Covenant weapons that they can both hold.
>>11033928>t. seamonkey
>>11033586>>11033472Is this the AY Optimus or the first Revo one?
>>11034459Halo was ironically killed by Infinite.
>>11034637AY. The first one was nowhere near as good. The big limitation of this guy for me is how he holds his rifle because the butt of it hits up against his forearm. Really do wish we at least got Megatron. Or maybe like they're doing with YGO just making something random from something non G1, like Armada Starscream who'd probably make for a really dynamic figure, and others like that. But of course, if G1 Optimus didn't sell enough, I kind of doubt the chances of others.
>>11034649If they were to do more they should do the Japanese BW characters. Lio Convoy and Big Convoy highly articulated and using their armaments in crazy poses would've caught people's eyes. G1 Convoy has soooo many alternatives it was a shit choice even among TF.
>>11034679Possible, and hey, maybe now with their somewhat frequent limited (Japanese) releases, that could be a possibility. Optimus was a regular release back then and they were probably also considering Western sensibilities, so maybe something like you're suggesting with BW Neo could be a possibility. Doubt they revisit, but would be cool.
>>11034647you mean by 343
>>11033735holy fucking seethe
>>11034138yugi is literally the only good part of ygo. Everything after it is absolute slop. Even designwise the mcs never reached the absolute schizo kino of yugis design. I haven't played a match of ygo in like almost 2 decades now and I'm still might pick him up
>>11034138Someone took a picture of a V Jump magazine or something?
I never thought YGO would be the one Revoltech will go all in on nowadays.
>>11034745It seems to be one of the top 'needle movers' for them on social media. It seems to get a lot of views and likes and what not, and maybe sales are going good too. It's pretty exciting that they're supporting it so much, and also how they're going about supporting it, dipping into 3 different generations before getting to the first.
>>11034767niiiiiiiiiiiiice. The chink one was so bland
>>11034767Base accessories and exclusive
>>11034801I kind of think at least 2 heads could have been included with the base figure, but I guess that's how the price is fairly cheap? Just based on the designs, because I haven't seen the series, I don't much care for Eren's look, the other two look somewhat interesting, especially Armored. I'd have to think that the rest will probably just have the one head as well. For Armored his head will probably have the 'masked' head, then the bonus will also be open mouthed.
>>11034804>2 more comingI hope they make the normies too. Always thought AoT would fit AY movment and all. I'm gonna get the titans for sure.
Yamaguchi is a genius. How does he do it?
>>11034808He definitely thinks outside the box and doesn't let the norms of the industry affect his own process. Not always perfect but he keeps refining the process and gets better and better.
>>11034808Took one look at bandaislop and thought people deserve better.
>>11034806Is batman supposed to be that stubby or is it the aspect ratio of the photo?
>>11034767Ahh good, he has all the current male AY joints even though there are no sculpt details to hide them. The "fuck it" approach, I like it.....Holy shit why didn't I thought about this before. We have our AY base body. Too bad you have to pay for the licensing.
>>11034818I also noticed torso is doing something new maybe? could just be to hide the gaps though.>>11034804>Sakamoto sculptHe's coming along nicely.
>>11034767>>11034801>>11034804i hate that I kinda wanna get this even though I feel like AoT is shit after its ending.
>>11034801lol whatit comes with 3 sets of hands, alternate hairand they can't even give an extra face without it being exclusive?holy fuck kaiyodo is kiking out
>>11034801Did hardening made the skin metallic like this? I only read the manga.
>>11034821I wonder if people are just bandwaggoning the ending being bad because I thought it was pretty good and set up nicely. I mean look at our state of the world. WW2 is over and we still have wars. The author even spelled it literally out before the final arc but the shonenbrainrotten fanbase was probably too dumb to get it.
>>11034826>I wonder if people are just bandwaggoning the ending being badi thought it was dogshit when it was just the mangait's hilariously bad and contradictory
>>11034827Explain how it's contradictory. I was there when /a/ had it's big melty too and I still thought it was good.
>>11034821>>11034826I don't even remember enough to know what people are talking about when they said it was bad... that usually means it was different from expectations and I usually assume people expectations are shit. Wasn't it just your typical, Gundam Seed Code Geass and many others ending where to end wars you need the ultimate bad guy to take all the blame and defeating him is the happy ending stuff? Like it wasn't a big surprise it was going there with the main character so was it bad because we all saw it or am I forgetting something? Never saw the anime btw so if it was just bad production oh well too bad. The prototype manga was kind of like that too but simle for the sake of the one-shot? Like titans were made to have peace among people?
>>11034827>it was just the manga?? I'm more confused lol the anime shouldn't be the manga WTF?
>>11034822>>11034805Price is 7800 yen without tax. If he will be discounted at retail who knows when it's a new IP for them because distribution is shit.
>>11034830cringevengers is one reason why
>>11034845now thats just made up retardation. You do realize it was a manga where people swing themselves from building to building and slay towering titans right? Do you have any actual OWN opinion or are you just an actual npc that alway needs to download opinions?
>>11034847>you're an npc because you don't like garbageokand yet i'm still not convinced and still think aot is dogshit
>>11034859>it's garbageIt's fine not to like something but you should at least be able to put into words why you don't like something. Buzzwords you adopted in some /a/ thread aren't your opinion anon. But like whatever. After looking up how the anime reception was people seem to actually like it too. Solidifying you just being a contrarian even more.
>>11034801I only see lewd use for that exclusive face in the future.
>>11034767>>11034801>>11034804I mean it's ok and enough for him but it's not like there wasn't room for more expressions and effects. Especially steam effects would have been cool. Well at least it's going to be cheap and it's not like you can't make those effects yourself. Though one more face would have been nice
>>11034767>>11034801>>11034804Is it tall or something? Otherwise this seems kinda random. Also should’ve come with some miniature accessories for him to mess around with.
>>11034920I was gonna say they limit the parts to keep it cheap so it can be that Revo body buck everyone wants but never getting. But then I found a flaw in my theory. IT DOESN'T HAVE HOLDING HANDS! That makes the figure a lot more useless for that purpose. You can give Aizawa's I suppose. >>11034801The two types of open hands feels redundant, yet most AY seem to do this. Even a straight fingers chop hand instead of one of them feels more useful. You don't see many AY with those for some reason.
>>11034773chink one?
>>11034924>Is it tallNo? Why?>miniature accessoriesHobby shops are full of such things so I get why they didn't bother.
>>11034767looks like just a spiderman re-mold, pretty meh
>>11034924>seems kinda random>One of the most popular series in the last decade and the titular character who never had action figureyeah so random
>>11034940Get naked. That's probably close enough.

>>11034961why?
>>11034963What story? That would be off topic too. Post your revo making a sleeper hold instead anon
Oh it's the berserk schizo. Could you please just do this...he comes to shitpost and brand war
>>11034961>>11034963>>11034971now post your revoltechs doing a sleeper hold with a messagealso this >>11034976 and sorry for shitting up the thread but fuck this asshole
>>11034984take your meds you pathetic loser
>>11034767Love figures like this, like SHF Venom where it's just basically a Body-kun where they can just flex their basic articulation with no bells and whistles, just a buttnaked man.
>>11034832>Like it wasn't a big surprise it was going there with the main character so was it bad because we all saw it or am I forgetting something?This, for me at least. The final episode just felt like going through the motions which was ironically unexpected seeing how AoT was consistently a show where you expect the unexpected.However the author did sneak in some nazi-propaganda but the execution was so cringe (or lost in translation) nobody was offended by it. Pic related.
>>11034984next carnage reissue when?
YAMAGUCHI, PLEASE.
>>11033472I almost bought one in a Kotobukiya store in Akiba when I was thete in 2007... but I thought I could findnit easy back home... and I never did until I got one used years later.
>>11034767I'm not feeling it desu. Like the other anon said, it's just a Spidey 2.0 resculpt/retool. The "layered" aesthetics and the sliding pecs work a lot better for clothed characters. Here it's just skin but it looks almost like a skin colored nano suit from Crysis or some armor plates.Anyways, when are Deadpool 2.5 and the Flashes going up for preorder? Hobby-Genki doesn't have them yet.
>>11034138I wonder which monsters he'll come withHope this means we get a full revo of some of his too, though I'm not sure who I'd want most
>>11035068"He" being Yugi? Dark Magician seems like a safe bet, since everyone is getting their ace monster. Technically 5Ds should have been Stardust Dragon, but understandable that it wasn't picked but Junk Warrior and Synchron would also count as an ace, just not the generic 2500atk ones. If not DM then it'd be interesting to see something like Magician of Black Chaos.
>>11035103I want an absolute zero. Sure it wasnt his ace in the manga either but goddamn it.
>>11035068>>11035103Kiayodo please give me Buster Blader
>>11034920>>11034927>he barely comes with anythingCommon non yamaguchi revoltech L. Just look at Arkham Batman accessories. The nip sculptor even made the action faceplate exclusive
>>11035123That'd be great. I trust the look of Ohtsu's designs on Neos and Junk that I think he could do some good work on a lot of these. A super articulated BB would be extremely cool. There are way too many monsters I'd want to see if we just start wishlisting though.
>>11035060>>11034933>just 2.0 againNaked man and body suit man is the same figure? No shit! What were you expecting? Male AY have had the same joint scheme since Deadpool 2.0 with alternating shoulder blades methods. He has the same construction as one of the most poseable figure on the market and that's the negative?? What the hell guys.
>>11035422I'd rather this brand not turn into Marvel Legends or Mafex where every figure looks and feels exactly the same.
>>11035423You have peak performance (DP 2.0 for male, HQ for female) and then the rest that are inferior, average jointing. You're just noticing this because you see two that both don't have gear covering it all up. So you want less poseable version like the figma archetype body but the AY line sells on articulation. My only complaint is AY ditched the geo joint knees which are better for posing and perhaps QC. But otherwise why change what works? Because you got bored of it? I really don't get it.
>>11035422they couldve gotten rid of the knee and elbow protrusions and the pec butterfly joint, either by not including them like many figures (ninja gaiden latest) or the other way like moon knight / thor etc
>>11034801>>11034804>>11034805>>11034806>>11034808>>11034811>>11034814>>11034817>>11034818>>11034820>>11034821>>11034822>>11034823>>11034826>>11034827>>11034830>>11034832>>11034833>>11034836>>11034845>>11034847>>11034859>>11034869>>11034920>>11034924>>11034927>>11034930>>11034933>>11034940>>11034942>>11034944>>11034946>>11034955>>11034962>>11034963>>11034971>>11034984>>11035034>>11035451Attack on titans has to be the gayest faggot shit ever written
>>11035451this guy looks good but I wish he came with more effects pieces that are about his destruction/disintegration powers
>>11035437This is me >>11035060Dude, I've been buying Revoltechs for ages and love the line and Yamaguchi in particular. I also got Monev and all of the old Ultimate Spider-Man figurines.Don't act like there isn't still room to improve. Whether his ideas were hit or miss, he would often surprise with ingenious designs and not settle on some basic, established setup. I'm not someone who likes to sacrifice articulation for sculpting, but everyone has to admit that the sculpt factors into a figure's appeal.The chest flaps just don't look as homogenous. I would have liked to see bigger flaps maybe with the whole muscle attach and some sternum-like area beneath. Or more striations/irregular muscle strings to make it look more cohesive - WITHOUT sacrificing mobility. Maybe even improving upon it? Have the chest move back and forth, up and down on a ball joint or something.
>>11035451>not including them like many figures (ninja gaiden latest)Huh? Hayabusa has the butterfly joints though. So yeah you want an inferior version, got it. The other way like the pin rotation one still gives a gap and basically does the same thing, move the position of the shoulder joints. Not having them at all you likely end up needing a more exposed shoulder joints to get a decent range. Notice how >>11035451 conveniently covers that up with the cape?
>>11035459Why haven't you added the slt is a pedophile meme yet, clearly you're the retarded nigger
>>11035463>still room to improve.Sure but why would you think that will happen to a Sakamoto sculpted figure? What you're thinking, if I'm imagining the same thing, sounds like it won't move as much as the current method. Or the ball jointed one, now that's the same as all the other collector's figure no? I think the biggest change they can do currently is not have the moving pieces be on the outside, but inside like most butterfly type joints do. Might be less noticeable the sculpt cut line will be smaller and closer to the shoulder area. Chest muscle will have this carved out lines though where the shoulders go in front of. But for the bask side the moving piece could be external, real moving shoulderblades.I get wanting to see changes but it also has risks like QC greatly suffering or being worse. I think the knees are worse being a big single hinge. But at the same time it is the best articulated body so saying be better also sounds...too privileged?
>>11035471I want the state before this where he still has his shirt. And have the cape be completely removable. I do want a generic looking guy so there's more use out of the AY than just the bad guy from MHA.
>>11035471If I hadn’t been informed this was an MHA character I’d have thought it was a Baki fan character from the face. Wasn’t Shigaraki covered in hands and had a cool design because of it?
>>11035546once upon a time
>>11034767>It's like 50 bucksI don't see why you WOULDN'T buy this. A fucking Revoltech for that price is a steal. Now when will they reveal Saitama?
>>11035558Damn, that looks like shit.
>>11035558Wow, I haven't caught up on this series in a while, but they really took a quite unique design and turned it to generic trash. What a shame.
>>11035720>unique designlol
>>11035745iunno I thought it was pretty neat with all the disembodied hands. especially the one on his face, I thought maybe there was some lovecraftian shit under there. no, just turns out it's a dude.
>>11035720>unique designs It's character development for why he loses the hands but he definetly shouldve gotten something more other than his gym workout uniform.
>>11035778Yeah but they pretty much retconned that the hand fetish thing was AFO's doing (based on his own brother's hand) and he gets the hand mask back for the final form.
Is the Arkham Knight Batman being sculpted by YamaGODchi?
>>11035891No it's done by one of the new sculptors.
>>11034767>>11034801>no articulated jaw>no attachable smoke effects>Final Season brand but has his S1, 2 and 3 hairWhats the point of the cut at the shins? Kinda expected hardening replacement shins and feet but we arent getting those so....why give him a boot cut articulation wtf
>>11035601I think that's what they're hoping, they went minimalist and lowered the price so A. This can serve as the base body for mods, drawing referenceB. Be an entry level AY for newcomers, hoping the AoT brand will reach further than capeshit. As for Saitama he's probably next. It looks like they are showing off one from each IP first.
>>11035971So the legs can get a full bend, heels touching the butt, with the single joint knees that gives a more realistic silhouette. Not the peanut knees of double joints. And shut up about the knee spikes.
SHOW PAINTED LUKE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>11035996You know what colors he has, they're not gonna change it. Seeing Chun-Li is more vital, to see how they handled her dress.
>>11035982I doubt it, it's a pretty blank body, but isn't a 'blank' body like the one they have displayed with the accessories. Releasing one of those with probably 3-4 sets of hands (fists, open, gripping and/or gun gripping hand) and release it for probably 4-5k and it'll definitely sell. And if it does well make a female one.
>>11036031>it'll definitely sellI don't think Kaiyodo thinks that. Especially for completed figures they are very afraid of releasing no brand stuff. So they use AoT as a safety net. Back when they started Tokusatsu Revoltech, they were having trouble with the Jurassic Park license. They could've released the T-Rex as a generic T-Rex but fought hard to get that JP logo because they thought it wouldn't sell otherwise. And you know they got seriously burned on Assemble Borg, an original IP. Oh and then Revo Geo. All of this is telling them IP matters. They're not taking the risk. Weapons pack at least are cheap to make so be less damaging.
>>11035929Why? It's fucking BATMAN.I hope it's good (does look good) but I'll be pissed if he does another one.
>>11035971Don't really care much about the jaw but I get the gripes about the smoke effects. Going for the S1,2 and 3 look is fine too since those are more "iconic", and I bet they're going for those looks for Armored and Female Titan too (and iirc those were the looks that was advertised). Getting this so my Robot Spirits EVA has someone to fight.
>>11036069>And you know they got seriously burned on Assemble Borg, an original IP.Is this really the case though? Why would it have had so many waves? Clearly it reached a point where they weren't succeeding, but most everything now at least at retail stores are sold out. The prices eventually became pretty high, especially at the time, so a pricey niche product was never the way to succeed. Regarding AY, the aftermarket on nearly every AY leaps in price aside from a select few like Gwen. Customers, especially nowadays, and especially those intimidated by the prices but are interested in the product, are looking for cheaper alternatives. They just released a ramen based Revoltech, which I guess you could call an IP, but that did well because it was a Revoltech you could buy for 4k yen. An AY blank at that price would definitely be much the same. But like you said, maybe they don't think it'd work.
>>11036150NTA but I think they're definitely going to sell a proper "blank" AY after a few more weapon/bonus effect part sets. Maybe Eren is to gauge interest? But he also DOES feel like a budget release meant to get people into AY, especially with the general lack of accessories and the lower price tag so it does seem like they're cashing in on the popularity of AoT. Just imagine if they released this when the Final Season hype was in full swing.
>>11035996
>>11036150>so many waves?But a lot of AB were same parts in different colors with some new unique pieces. It was also mostly sold only through their site, only later having a wider distribution. Also when they started to fail, meaning it probably never had a big enough market. You can call it a success but like a frog in a well does not know the ocean it didn't last in full distribution. >aftermarketPretty much any collectors item though since productions are all so small now unless you 're Bandai. Doesn't really mean anything. And yeah, comparing a meme Revoltech to a blank isn't the same thing. Price point was low because they know nobody is spending more than that. Even that AY blank because of the number of parts alone wouldn't be that cheap, probably can't get below 6000 yen, and that's if they can make as many as any of the popular IP AY. >>11036156We will see. I'd like to point out that Kaiyodo had the idea of Revoltech blanks for ages and have yet to act on it. And they weren't in the red back then.
>>11036142DC is shit seller in case you haven't noticed. That's why the two latests are not Yamaguchi sculpted, and why stores don't sell or even carry DC AY lately. On amiami DC AY don't even have discounts.
>>11035929Guess im not POing than.
>>11036260>not made by Yamaguchi>sells like shitI wonder why...to be fair back when Yamaguchi WAS sculpting DC shit they were just perfecting their craft. Look at AY Batman. I honestly think that a large part of the success of recent Marvel AYs like Moon Knight and Agent Venom is that their faces are fully obscured, which gets rid of a large gripe of a lot of collectors which is that AYs have very "anime" looking faces, which tend to make them not fit into other lines.
>>11035161>The nip sculptor even made the action faceplate exclusive>as if it has anything to do with the sculptors
>>11036289The DC movies failed and failed to the point nobody cares about it. That's why. Main man Yamaguchi is used on better projects. Back then the movies were still doing okay and they still had Kenelephant distribution. He still did Catwoman and Flash. The Flashes are getting reissues so it's not as dead as I thought. They have faces. Catwoman might get one too who knows.
>>11036299Oh and Joker too, again have a face. But the Joker movie is like the one DC film that actually performed well so.
Great, a leaf can get Flash on Ami this time. There's that confusing long list of countries again.
Oh great, I was lurking nin-nin-game for Flash, Zoom and new Deadpool to show up.I only noticed regular deadpool without bonus face there so I waited. Turns out I could write their name in searchbar and their pages show up so of course all of them with exclusive parts sold out.Well fuck it, at least all 3 regular versions are on Amiami.
post your revoltechs damn it
>>11036343I can’t until Friday.
>>11033975>everything flows so beautifullyWell, almost...
>>11036351genuinely why do they keep doing these, I almost just want to snip them off
>>11036351doesnt bother me, but whyd they do dat.
>normal Flash and Zoom not available on Nin Nin Game>Exclusive versions are already sold outGod fucking damn it. Getting banned from AmiAmi like five years ago is really biting me in the ass lately.
>>11036367Why didn’t you pay for your orders anon?
>>11036343Does that web-slinging web come with the figure?
>>11036372its from agent venom
>>11036351>>11036359>>11036364That is the one bizarre quirk Yamaguchi refuses to let go of for whatever reason. Agent Venom for example has a knee pad design that could easy has a joint put in it without messing with the sculpt but Yamaguchi didn't even do so there.What makes it extra weird is that older releases like Deathstroke actually had joints for stuff like that.
>>11036373Oh, okay. Thanks.
>>11036343ok
>>11036374He browses these threads and he does it out of spite.
>>11036369I wasn't expecting a financial rough patch when I initially pre-ordered my stuff and they threatened to ban me if I cancelled it all. I figured I was fucked either way so I just paid for what I could then got banned when I couldn't.
>>11036374It's user laziness to blame I bet. So many people can't handle all the tiny moving parts they need to adjust during posing that AY had to streamline. Same reason moving eyeballs stopped being a standard feature.
I have a solution for the kneespikes that I think is doable. With the single hinged knees, you put a middle ring with kneecap/pad sculpted on. When you bend the leg you spin that ring to where the knee is in the center of the leg. 90 degree bend knee the kneecap wil be positioned 45 degree.
>>11036389Yes anon, it's the consumers' fault, of course
>>11036380your poses are goated
>>11030577Why wont amiami ship Flash to Australia? Joker had the same problem but I didn't mind skipping him.
>>11036440You have to ask amiami.
>>11036440There seem to be some sort of weird exclusivity shit going on with Flash. Deadpool is up on Genki and BBTS, but Flash isn't up on either. There must be some local store that will get the opportunity to rape Aussies with the price.
>>11036452They didn't give a reason. Bummer.>>11036487Was it like this when he originally released? I cant think of a good reason why they'd decide to not ship him here.
All three Harley's just popped up on Mandarake if anyone looking for one. Alright prices.
>>11036487>>11036500Technically all of these Revoltechs should be Japan only, so that sounds like bullshit to me. Like with Ami they don't want to tell you "because we said so, fuck off". The reason say DC AY aren't available at many stores is bad distribution not letting stores gain enough profit selling them. So they just don't buy them. And then why certain countries, shipping rates there are bad and again not profitable?>>11036500Flash on Ami was US only or something like that, I remember Canadians couldn't get it.
>>11036487BBTS might just put them up later, you know during the US day time. They don't even have regular DP up and there's no way they wouldn't. They sold the Flashed the first time.
>>11036500Amiami is religious? I wonder what deity they believe in.
>>11035971The shin "cut" on AY is a balljoint. It really helps when pushing those poses to the extreme.
>>11036359Every now and then I try to figure how the knees would look if I just cut those pieces off, because it almost feels like it wouldn't be that bad.
>>11036397KAIYODO! HIRE THIS MAN!
>>11036536Not for a while. Usually just forward-back hinge and rotation peg into the shins. Sometimes a full GEO joint so you can tilt any direction by sniping the joint around.
>>11036343my warping dogdick phone camera doesnt exactly do them justice but whateveralso have arkham knight batman/joker/ryu on preorder. Considering deadpool 2.5
>>11036440>>11036500Nin Nin just put Flash up with the bonus so I was able to snag him after all. Hopefully Reverse goes up too.
>>11036343i wish i had more web effects
>>11036397Doesn't work for AY because of how he sculpts the knee joint. A lot of plastic is removed from the back of the knee to get as tight a bend as possible. The knee ring will have to be very thin which will lead to extra gaping at the front.However it is a valid solution but seeing how Yamaguchi sculpts in Blender, he might not have the expertise to apply the fix. The knee ring has to to have varying thickness, more in the front, little in the back. You need to be very careful with the measurements of the thigh-knee-shin combo and this is something Blender can't do.There's also the issues of tolerances as it can lead to paint rub and ruin the whole figure.
>>11033975I'm waiting for Mafex Bane to come out before I ship Spidey. I'm excited though. Kicking myself for skipping him the first time but glad I got the reissue.
>>11036238What is this revoltech sotai stuff?>>11036621I don't get what you mean with the green shaded gap. Easiest would be to have a simple hinge like in the past... but I like this idea. >>11036340Just go with Hobby-Genki. Tbh I don't know why anyone would use any other site. On this note: I'm undecided whether I should get Flash and Reverse-Flash or just one of them. Leaning towards Reverse-Flash. PSA: I don't care about Flash, but I love the look of these figures. Very toyetic and cool effects that may come in handy with other figures, too. Reverse-Flash seems nicer because his face doesn't look as derpy as Flash's, his color scheme is good. His effects are red and might double as blood effects or just some generic red energy spikes - whereas regular Flash looks nice too with his red costume, but I just wish it was candy/metallic red like Reverse Flash's boots. His yellow effects are also a lot more situational and wouldn't fit a lot of characters. Any input? Buying both when I'm not really invested in the characters and just buying repaints feels... like a waste.
What does Version 2.5 mean? I might get xforce pool since I already got the first red 2.0 but did they change a lot? I can't see anything different
>>11036621He uses ZBrush unless he changed that recently. Not sure of the difference between the softwares. As for gaps, varying thickness, I'm not saying "just put a ring on it", on the existing sculpts, but rework the knee with the idea. So It works and looks okay with a circular shape. It can't be impossible surely. As for friction, yeah I hear you I thought about that too. I can only think of having enough space to not be a problem and not painting the sides or the ring piece.
>>11036880They added accessories to the 2.0. That's what the .5 always mean for Revoltechs. The core body and precious accessories are the same. They might fix the back connector piece but no way to know unless they tell us or on release.
>>11036886There are plenty of pictures of him out there.
>>11036897search 山口勝久
>>11036696リボルテック素体 means Revoltech body buck or base body. Above it says item name. It's a plan sheet caught in a twitter photo for unrelated product. I forgot when exactly but it was like from before AY started.
>>11036696Someine help me with my Flash conundrum!>>11036887What exactly is new? The burrito?
>>11036554Nice display
>>11036974Hands, that, the spherical bomb was the exclusive last time but now included. And then the new exclusive is the exposed mouth head. I only have Flash so can't help you...probably getting another Flash though I'm the opposite don't care enough about the stupid I switched the colors and have same powers villain sorry DC fans. But the AY was so nice I want a backup.
>>11036696I got both flashes because I love the characters. If you're weighing accessories on whether they could fit other characters then just choose the one you could get the most use out of and like the look of most since you won't get both. It's the same body so any issues present in one might be in the other. The biggest issues I had was a thigh popping off.
>>11036981>I switched the colors and have same powers villainLike this is totally personal preference I know. But instead he was same colors but slight changes like the backwards logo, different eyes, but pointy feet and claws. Something like the Nise-Ultraman approach where he pretends he's the Flash and do bad shit to ruin him. I'm sure that must have happened in the comics. But I prefer that to be the default.
Reverse Flash is way cooler, get him.
>>11034767Another near perfect figure ruined again by those fucking knees. God damn it. Why yamaguchi why!!
>>11036994Thank you, anon. Just one question: is the Flash metallic red/chrome/candy? Or is it rather "flat"?
>>11037017People obsess over this too much, they look cool imo.
>>11037020>>11037016 Anon here, Flash is not shiny like AY Iron man if you own that. He is a fairly flat slightly darker red.
>>11037022how do they look cool? They look painfully off putting, like the shin bone has been broken and is poking out of the knee cap. I actually find it hard to look at without wincing.It's a shame, because otherwise I really like ay articulation. This style only works when it is the top of a boot, not flesh.
>>11037030>how do they look cool?Dunno, just does.
>>11037026>>11037020It's hard to describe exactly. Not shiny, not glossy(candy), definitely not metallic. Not matte either. I would say a slight pearl red if that makes sense. There is some reflective effect going on.
>>11037017I just accept them like they are part of the suit design. In this case of a giant naked man though, I have to think as they are hardened knee spikes, one of the titans physical feature. As to why I think it's decided they aren't a big deal. If it was they'd change by now. Same with knee padded characters. Not making them jointed is a constant money saver.
Since Flash sales was good enough to warrant a reissue (or they underestimated the demand the first time) is there a chance for AY to work through the JL members? (fat chance when they haven't done some type of Avengers team) If so then who? What Gunn will do will probably influence the potential AY. Like having Hawkgril might mean more of that cartoon members.
>>11037030>>11037017Yamaguchi still hasn't stopped, so it's almost certainly not a mistake, it seems like it's a personal flair that he likes doing. And at this point, if you're letting it deter you from probably the best articulated figure line in existence, well, your loss. Bye now, I'll be over here enjoying my figures, spiky knees and all, because I can accept a small flaw in an otherwise perfect product.
>>11037108Or stick to the New 52 because that's what the Snyder films were kind of doing. In that case I really hope for WW 2.0 as big or bigger than Catwoman.
>>11037113>>11037017Not only that Yamaguchi isn't stopping it, but Sakamoto is keeping it too. He made Supergirl have new double joints knees, but no changes here. It is hard to tell who is responsible to what extent, but yeah it's staying for sure
>>11037116Oh and yes it's what AY have been doing so far except WW. So more reason for a 2.0 in New52 design. If not I would still like only for the WW to happen.
>>11037108What we can hope for nowadays are Aquaman, Blue Beetle, Shazam, Black Adam, maybe Peacemaker and Bloodsport too. For sure we're getting a 1.5 of Batman and Superman as their movies come out.
>>11037123Why would the bother with the failed films though? Aquaman made money but seeing how AY skipped and went to Flash movie cast (Flash Supergirl and new Batman, game but still Batman) I think they're done with them. Batman might just get a full 2.0 comic version. Superman I can see KAZU doing the cape back piece since it's detachable. Drop the plastic cape and include more heads and hands that can be the 1.5. Besides that I think it depends on the Gunn films.
>>11037128Oh and the smiling face is the store exclusive for Superman of course.
>>11036554Nice display. Is that webbing custom? If so, what materials did you use to make it?
>>11037108If we somehow got Martian Manhunter... Officially the best line of all time.
>>11037108Green Lantern will be next. My uncle works for Revoltech.
Some pictures from Facebook
Don't know where the guns are from, might be Valaverse
Mogged
>>11037349lol
>>11037349Don't start this bullshit again. They're not even representative of the same version of the character.
>>11037346they're all Joe guns
>>11037346This one looks familiar >>11037344 I think it's from G.I. Joe Classified. So might be the other one but I don't have it. They are my go to guns for AY. Not always compatible but you have enough there's usually a match. Easier with open hands for sure.
>>11037389>>11037390Ah ok I was right. I have a different LMG waiting for mine
The one annoying thing about AY Flash is that it really shows off all the bad things about 2.0 Spider-Man. The proportions are overall better like the abdomen and legs. And the neck and torso can move further forward than Spider-Man. Just figure these out before finishing Spidey you know?
>>11037113Yeah I'm good. I don't have any of my yamaguchis on display anymore. I tried to enjoy the crazy posing over the stylized asthetic, but they are just too jarring for me. I'm more of a Storm guy. I'll check in again when Saitama is revealed. If the knee spikes are red , donoting part of the boot then it might not look so bad.
>>11037397Spidey is like THE acrobatic guy. I'm guessing a 3.0 is coming some time in the future, with even better engineering than Flash. He had to come out at some point, so either we accept that he's a fixed point in time and that's ok, or we need to tell Yamaguchi to stop improving, so that there can never be anything better than Spidey.
>>11035983>And shut up about the knee spikes.But they're objectively shit
>>11037116>Batmanlet
>>11037567Nah, they’re ways better than peanut double jointed knees.
>be me>saw that winter soldier is being sold at hobbysearch>”oh so he’s a mass produced AY like the MHA then”>didnt bother preorder and just decide to wait until the end of june/payday>turns out he’s limited>released in the middle of the fucking month>not a single jap site has him instockTell me AY winter soldier owner bros, is he worth the $150 on ebay?
>>11037533Eh it's just a shame 2.0 turned out the way it did. I don't even care about the ANAD suit but I understand why many do. And the issues are something prior releases didn't even have so what it's some random oversight? Maybe it was during Yamaguchi's back pain days and he wasn't fully focused. I think they might do Miles before another go on a bland regular Spidey again. But the next Tom Holland film at least will have the classic style costume so that might make Kaiyodo take action. But the 2.0 isn't that different visually. Yeah there needs to be a crucial update in engineering first for a 3.0.
>>11037600>don't understand perspective
>>11037606It really isn't. People don't have spikes sticking out the top of their shins, but knee caps do resemble giant peanuts.
>>11037533Also we don't even need a new method, just use the same setup as Iron Spider. Add the latest addition the bicep swivels, use a classic design and that would be the best AY Spider-Man imaginable. But I think 2.0 reissues will forever destroy that possibility.
Deadpool 2.5 looks great.
>>11037628Nah. It is objectively better since it has way better range.
>>11037644How do knee spikes give better range?
>>11037644>>11037650It's not about the range, but how natural the shape of the bent leg looks like with the single joint knee and the shin joint. Knee spike is unfortunate side effect of needing to have the knee sculpted there in the straight position. They gave up on making that part move so only solution to keep this joint setup is have the kneecap unrealistically stay on the thigh half, break the kneecap in half or not have kneecaps at all. The pants leg AY like Joker and Aizawa don't have this problem. Double joints always looks like the leg is broken in two. The AY method is still double jointed legs but hides it well being further in the shins.
>>11037658sorry I mean broken in two PLACES.
>>11037650i didnt say the knee spikes give better range.i'm saying the knee setup itself has way better range than the double jointed used on other revo figures. hell, it has way better range than most other figures that use double joints
>>11037628There you see how >>11037665 the overall shape of the leg looks like what a person leg looks bent. Just think of the spike as the costume design like the knee armor of Venom. If you try to get the same range with double joints you have to make the distance between the two hinges longer, giving that square shape bent leg. Humans aren't robots.
Fuck... Already ordered Zoom. Now I'm thinking of getting Flash, too...
>>11037767Anything you'd like to know about AY Flash?
>>11037779I dunno. I pretty much know everything. That exclusive part looks stupid as fuck but I'd probably get it still. Does anyone really use that?I'm the anon who doesn't care much about Flash, but I love how toyetic these figures seem. They are probably a good pair up. So... Either talk me out of it or ake me gush and splurge.Who's your favorite?
where tf can i find the normal version of anti flash? the bonus for him is shit so i dont see the reason to pay extra
>>11037842Amiami but on hobby genki you pay a little bit more and have a private warehouse and better shipping options.
>>11037858on hobby genki they sell just the limited one, that why im asking anywhere beside amiami (got banned because i wasnt sure what the fuck i was doing when i started)
>>11033555Iron Spider has thicker thighs than Chun-Li ffs.
>>11037839I own both but I much prefer Reverse, nice faceplates, the red on him is a nice metallic one and I feel more distorted/dynamic poses fit him better than the Flash.
>>11037864Buy it and then sell the rod
>>11031370>I thought the Yoko and Nia mechs were from Revoltech>turns out they were exclusive event figures made by Daibadi Polynian Only god knows how expensive they are nowadays.
>>11037903Thanks man. Should I get both?
>>11037917>exclusive event figuresIs that your way of saying garage kits from WonFes? I assumed that is what they are.
>>11037903>and I feel more distorted/dynamic poses fit him better than the FlashThat kind of helps with owning both, no? That way it creates a visual dichotomy between the two of them. I wasn't originally going to buy them but I think I'm going to. I see that they've been on Mandarake for cheaper than retail, but it's been extremely hard to get anything from there unless they happen to be put up within minutes to a couple hours of when you see them.
>>11037567So go collect something else, nobody needs your subby-like repetitive whinging here.
Anyone else think a 1.5 Wolverine will be announced in July? No real basis other than tie-in to the movie. I wonder what else he could include, assuming it wouldn't be a straight reissue.
>>11038213Hoping for a 2.0 desu. Would like him/Cap/Venom without the old clicky revo joint for the torso. Those torso joints’ pegs were always loose for me and i had to put pieces of paper or plastic in them for extra friction. Was pretty inconvenient
>>11038228A 2.0 would be cool but the first Wolverine is probably in my ideal costume, so I probably wouldn't want that to change. I'd think in a 1.5 they could change up the joints a bit though, doesn't have to only be different accessories.
>>11038213Maybe. Also the last reissue they did might make them think there isn't enough demand yet. I think mask off head is a must for a 1.5 along with more expressions. Different claws maybe, bone ones, middle only, and then a half claws with like impact effect or blood effect on the tip so when touching against another figure it looks like they are getting stabbed or sliced through. >>11038305They can't do much more with the joints. Shoulders don't have the same type in Geo Joints. And the torso joints needs to be a Revolver Joint because of the peg holes being hard plastic there. 2.0 can still be the same costume.Deadpool was. Also I think the strongest possibility for a different look for Wolverine is Logan in regular clothing.
>>11038382>And the torso joints needs to be a Revolver Joint because of the peg holes being hard plastic there.I think the implication was more that it could be a 1.5 with a new torso, for example. And sure if you have issues with the arms then replace the shoulder part too.
>>110384380.5's don't do that sort of thing. They might as well redo the whole body and be a 2.0.
>>11038497>0.5's don't do that sort of thing.Ya but nothing says they can't. This 1.5 thing is new anyways, just with Joker and now DP, so no real reason it can't also be improvements. It's kind of a slap to the face to earlier buyers, perhaps. 2.0 is fine, but for such an early release Wolverine is honestly really damn good.
>>11038382I would have thought x-forxe wolverine to match deadpool. You can also do the brown outfit.
>>11038628>just with Joker and now DP,And 3 Toy Story Revos. If you don't understand the business model by now just don't bother. The most these .5 do is add new heads/faces. Changing more involves a lot of new molds. That kind of defeats the purpose of saving money with reissue. What is wanted for Wolverine, you need to change the chest piece, 2 upper arm pieces, abdomen piece, and hip piece but maybe just the internal piece. That is like half the AY. With that much extra cost making a new AY from start is beneficial compared to saving money with just an reissue. This is what the 1.5 and 2.5 are doing. This is the reason
>>11038633>brown outfit.>old, classical looksYeah never happening like that when new one exists. X-Force repaint would have happened already and no reason to make a new sculpt. DP X-Force suit isn't that new one anyways. Not sure that exists in the comics but figure makers sure loves just repainting the Now suit.
But both if you canIf you can only afford one, don't buy toys
>>11038735B-but they're the exact same figure.
>>110386761.5 and 2.0 Woody are nearly the same, the 2.0 with just some more parts. There's no real precedent for anything.
>>11038011>>11038745Are you a ketchup or mustard kind of person?
>>11038754Totally forgot they called him that. That supports me even more since it's going the other direction, increasing numbers without the appropriate costs and changes. Plus they just didn't want to say 1.75.If they did what anon is saying they would call that Wolverine 2.0, charge you full new AY price despite using a lot of the same parts and you'll all complain about it I can see it.
>>11038754>>11038767Also it kind of make sense since it is 0.5 level additions twice from the original 1.0.
And Wolverine was made before Yamaguchi went digital. So making new body parts to go with the old parts is just too much unnecessary work. Making a full new AY digitally is much easier than that.
>>11038745But RF just exudes asshole energy
>>11038681Brown suit is what wolverine has been wearing for the last 5 years in the comics, with a new belt. Seems like the same philosophy that got us Bucky's design could get Brown suit. Xforce is unlikely. But I have dreams of AY archangel
>>11038783>same philosophyThat philosophy is what comic suit is closest to the movie suit, not the latest comic suits. So unless wolverine in MCU is going brown I don't see that happening ever. DP3 movie suit is already the one AY picked.
>>11038735I finally went for it.Just gotta wait for a whole fucking year. ._.Seriously, this is the best hobby and the worst one.
>>11038187I'm allowed to criticize things I like, anon. Not everything is binary.

guys need help.Is 150 bucks for brand new moon knight a good price? I know It's not but it is possible to get a cheaper one fast?
>>11039416If you can get a new one from a reputable seller, I say go for it. He's sold out everywhere and I don't think he's getting a reissue any time soon. I honestly didn't know Moon Knight was that popular.
>>11039542I don't think he's popular. I think it was a test for capes for the most part and was a cheaper character to make with simple paintjob and accessories. And I read a while ago in an interview with the AY supervisor that one of his favorite character was Moon Knight. He might've been with Kenelephant I don't know how it all worked back then but I like to think just before they cut ties with Kaiyodo he made his wish come true lol.And selling out doesn't mean it was a popular character either. They rarely make in excess anymore. Being available might mean that they actually made more than what was preordered because of popularity. Then disappearing soon after sounds like it was a good seller. >>11039416He's not getting reissued. Is MK even coming back in MCU besides maybe in Secret Wars cameo?
