After owning a bunch of Revoltech Evas now, I'm really dissatisfied with Revoltech Prime. The Evas all come with ridiculously show accurate accessories, but this guy does not. What were they thinking?

The Sci-fi line of Revoltechs is kind of...lacking. What you would get in accessories elsewhere pays for licensing here.

That's what it looks like. Although, the Alien figures do look good...

Nevermind... I found that it's only gonna be 5.5 inches tall.... I was hoping it would be closer to leader size!

That'd be a really heavy revoltech figure. They're made of solid plastic. Probably cost over 200 bucks.
I do wish they were a tad bigger though. Like closer to 8 inches. I have the TF revoltech guys, and like them alot, except how they're just under the height of deluxe guys.

No, the revoltech line is JP only, not US.
Though I really think they're worth it.

Mecha Guy has posted a few new images of the slightly delayed Sci-Fi Revoltech 030 Optimus Prime from Wonder Festival 2011. The figure was initially scheduled to release on September 1st, but was moved back a couple of weeks to September 15th. Many more images are available at Mecha Guy, though most have been seen before. The new images are mirrored below.

That's never going to happen.

It's lacking. Comparing it to my Evangelion revoltechs, this guy is a complete disappointment

Man... as stoked as I was about this thing before... I'm glad I never preordered it, because the new pics are not impressing me. I will stick to my DMK Prime.

there is a way to purchase them in the US. I have White Optimus (Naked Magnus?) And Rodimus.
I got them gor around $80.00 USD Each. If you go to a place called Phat Collectables, you can buy, sell, and trade your tfs gundams marvel and more! Some guy buys these revoltech guys and sells them to phats. Iv'e also seen them in japanese toy stores in malls, but that's were you pay like $100.00 for just one, wich is why I hav'nt opened the two I have already... Just saying, they ARE in the us, you just need to look.

Not trying to rain on your parade, but literally yesterday I bought Magnus, Rodimus, Megatron, and Starscream for about $120, total, shipped. Deals are available.

My parade is very high and dry thank you! I bought these, just these two, a LONG time ago. Not only that, but I also bought a crapload of other stuff, so my pricing my be off...
Could have swore it was like 80 bucks each though... Just the reason I never open them. Still, can't say I'm a fan, at lest, not for their TF Stuff, if it doesn't transform, it's not a transformer! Their like expensive robot replicas with little extra features and tweaks! Evangelion in the other hand =P~

that's were their strength is.

I got hooked on Revoltech Evas by Counterpunch at Otakon this year and I've been on a bit of a spending spree to get a bunch of them. The Mass Production (Wing) is still my favorite!

In addition to the new images of Revoltech's Movie Universe Optimus Prime from Wonder Festival 2011, we also have video review. Take a look at the heavily armed and highly articulated figure below.

That Pixely 8-bit music was really getting to me...
Seriously, at least try to make it sound cooler than that! Like in the scott pilgrim game!
I feel like I'm the only one who enjoys scott pilgrim though, now that I think about it...
Still, it's a nice figure, but I like my primes to TRANSFORM.
On another note, these guys would probably be successful doing an animated line, huh?

I'm surprised that the fig has ratcheted joints.

I used to hear complaints of loose joints on Revoltech figs, and was totally surprised to hear clicking sounds beneath that annoying soundtrack when the reviewer moved the limbs.

Nice, overall, although the weapons could have included the axe and shield from DOTM.
