Seeing as Convoy will be part of this line in the future, I figured this would be a good oportunity to get a good look at the revoltech joint system. So far I'm very impressed. Hopefully he adds Dante soon. I really want that one.

first one, very promicing, second one, Grrrrr. Friends don't let friends make two nuckle hinges.

Have to admit though, I more than likely will buy the Prime and Megs nomatter how many crappy loose hinges they cover them with.

I really want that Dougram, even though it lacks lateral leg movement. It's just such a cool looking Mech.

but what size are they,

Supposed to be about six inches tall.

What do you mean exactly? The toys or the characters?

If you're talking about the toys themselves, they're part of a new action figure line called Revoltech. Basically they came up with a new kind of joint for action figures that alows a very large range of motion. It apears to be an even greater range than ball joints.

Definately. I don't know much about Dougram. Here's it's wiki though. It was apparently the first successful real robot show after Gundam.

Shin Getter Robo on the otherhand is the last in a series of anime from way back. Getter Robo is among the oldest of the super robots.

i realy like the way you cant see how the joint is moving, they give the robot form an organic movement, id love to bash 1 or 2 but they might be a bit expensie just for joints

I plan on getting a Shin Getter and a Dante at the very least eventually. Might also go for Convoy if it looks nice and has lots of extras.
