Revoltech

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

My biggets disappointment wiht revoltch, aside from the ugly choice of DW looking Optimus, was the way the sculpting gets in the way of posing sometimes. As an example with Megatron, tring to get his foot pointing to the side for balance ends up with it pointing down.

They are very dynamic though and one little challenge I like to give myself is to try and make them look bored or just standing around. Its harder than one would think

I do have all of them though and think Megatron and Hot Rod are the best. I must say, overall I like them.

Don't be put off by anyone trying to talk you out of them if you like them. There are enough people who like the Revoltech Transformers Toys, to warrant buying them if you wanted to.

I grabbed my Revoltech for $23 a longtime back on a HLJ preorder but online prices from the eBay seller Shingstar have gone between $24 to $27 to ship just one of them. He seems to have only Hot Rod and Starscream. At the price point of a Deluxe, they're very good for what they offer and even better in mnay cases.

Ummm aren't all toys kind of a novelty?

Ssh! By novelty I mean something that's not really what I consider part of the main Transformers line, much like TF Jrs and Choro-Q TFs.

I have all 5 R/tech tfs. and I must say, as cheep as i got them, I also like them enough to pay upto $25 for them. $50 is over kill though. My words would be, Grab em, they are cool fun to play with.

I agree about Optimus, why did Pat Lee Always make his windows look like boxes?

[GoktimusPrime]

Cos he can't draw? (oh snap!)

Well, he can put a pen to paper so... evidently, he can draw... Perhaps, you should say, he can't draw well?

[turtle boy]

Or he has no idea what a truck is supposed to look like?

While I'm not a fan of Pat Lee as a human being his art was decent enough. Not the best of the IDW artists but still very solid. I had serious issues with his storytelling too as always think of that sequence between Superion and Devastator and how poorly it was thought out.

That said, you have to give him credit. He took the TF licence and was instrumental in the franchise's success as a comic series. All of his series and issues averaged around the 60K mark. The current comics don't even come close to that. I think he's an abominal human being and have nothing but contempt for him but I think that allegations that are constantly made against him that he cannot draw or is a pathetic artist are unfounded and fail to objectively view his contribution.

It's all relative as to who is a good artist and a bad artist. Different artists have different styles too and that means that one style might appeal to you and another may not. If at least 60K worth of fans warmed to him once upon time and Marvel Comics and DC comics, and Image Comics hired him he can't be a clueless hack. There's a difference between not liking a person and objectively viewing a person's achievements and I feel that that distinction by many fans cannot be made.
