They have gorgeous paint, I love'em.

Both of them look absolutely fantastic!

Nice to see they are doing more figures, and great choices too.
These don't look bad. I particularly like Rodimus.
I don't own Prime or Megatron but might consider picking them up now.

Any chance that that is the same paint job we will see in the mass issue? Sometimes I understand what you see as prototype is a lot better than what gets sold to us eventually.

(Except Unicron, thank Primus!)

They both look of a similar quality to Convoy, Magnus and Megatron so I'd say they're the finished articles or pretty close to.

Starscream! You must be mine! I didn't know that these figures would look so good! Must buy one! Or two!

Damn... now I've got to get the Revoltech series too! They are really good. Wish they could have done the TFTM07 movie figures. I like my Robot Replicas, but I think with Revoltech, the sky wouldn't been the limit! Can you imagine what they could have done with BB? Different heads, hands, shoulder mounted cannons... All the accessories would've been there!

PS: Wow like your new avatar!

Starscream has a big neck :lol:

by **TaiPoh** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 9:34 am

Aside from the huge necks, they look fantastic.

by **Pugnate** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 1:21 pm

Actually they all have huge necks, even though you may not be able to tell from the images. That's the only complaint I have of the revoltech megs and optimus I own.

by **Decatron** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 2:32 pm

Lets see some secondary characters get the treatment. Brawn!

by **Mandamus** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 4:03 pm

These look great, except for Rod's lower legs being red instead of gray. Still, I def want to grab these when they're released.

They're nice, but why do all Revoltech TF's have such elongated necks?

Its to accommodate the Revolver joint in their neck, a lot of Revoltechs suffer from long/fat necks as a result. IMO it's a small price to pay for some of the most awesomely articulated detailed and sculpted affordable action figures ever made.

Thank you very much for answering my question.

These look amazing, I can't believe I had never heard of them before this morning.

I will be doing my best to acquire every single model they produce.

Rodimus looks fantastic.

I'd love to see someone kitbash that into a working TransFormer.

by **gogleman374** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 11:51 pm

Screamer's neck is to big for me, only Reason Im going to pass.

Rodimus on the other hand looks fantastic, Infact I think i will pre-order one right now.
