I was going to stop at 4 Sengoku Basara guys, but the two new release ones looked so cool when I saw them in the comming soon window in Japan so now I have 6. Mind you most are still in package waiting for some display space. This Yamaguchi guy has gotta be one of my favourite sculptors of all time when it comes to humans and super robots, not sure about his real (gundam like) robots though.

OOOo! thats good new, after watching the Gurren Lagann anime, I deciede I wanted the figs and they aren't anywhere anymore... that wll amke life easyOriginally Posted by kaiden
Agreed, especially about the robots thing. Arbalest is pretty awesome though! I have been watching Trigun after getting Wolfwood. Now I have to gte me a Vash the Stampede as well... His character reminds me a lot of Lupin III as well. Now that I think of it, Wolfwood is similar to Jigen as well. they both like cigarettes and they both have snazzy suits...
I got Tokugawa, mainly because of the name more than anything else, I would have preferred it if he was more than a boxer though, but that's capcom's fault.
I was surprised at how good the design is as well. Never thought I would get this much into a line that isn't Tf's, especially after the poor version of Convoy they did. The Street Fighter ones are pretty cool and I dont think they are Yamaguchi's.

nice reviews. is buzz supposed to be that short?!?!?

Thanks.
I know he is quite a bit shorter than Woody, but I think the bulk of him has let him down a little bit here as well. He might be a tad shorter than he should be if he is in scale with Woody.
I will have to have a look at the DVD now...

So glad I didn't get really involved with the Revoltech line. Only have about 12 but I wouldn't mind getting the new Evangelion pack but its all sold out at the moment.
