That's what I'm sayin'. The RAH was what, ten years ago? And since then there's been a Soul of Sofubi and a SIC, around five or six years ago?

Haha, I can't really see that happening... Gavan is more likely, as he's appearing in the upcoming Gokaiger movie.

I do love the concept art for the SIC Arashi, though the figure itself was kind of dull and by-the-numbers by comparison... that art just looks like something from the annals of the Royal Society!]]> asterphage Original Invincible BBS Thu, 27 Oct 2011 14:27:04 -0400 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,180283,238757#msg-238757 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,180283,238757#msg-238757 -------------------------------------------------------

Did you read my original post? There are shitloads of youtube reviews on these that show that they're pretty rugged. Go on...watch 'em...we'll wait...

Has anyone got the FigureRise Goku, or Kamen Rider W? It seems like, if these are as relatively light as many Gundam kits, that they'd need a bit more weight in the feet to keep them standing, since they can't count on the larger feet and calves of many mobile suit designs to keep them up.

Apparently they're also doing a FigureRise of Luffy from One Piece, which looks crazy.]]> asterphage Original Invincible BBS Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:40:11 -0400 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,180283,238733#msg-238733 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,180283,238733#msg-238733 news--I could just be THAT outta the loop on plamo...

[www.1999.co.jp]

I don't think there's been much discussion here about these "Figure-Rise" kits, but I've watched a couple youtube reviews of them, and they seem pretty sweet. 1/8 scale, super-poseable, super-accurate...but most of all, *sturdy, simple, and fun* (unlike Revoltechs and other high-end action figures, in my never-humble opinion).]]> Sanjeev Original Invincible BBS Wed, 26 Oct 2011 12:41:00 -0400 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,180283,238557#msg-238557 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,180283,238557#msg-238557
They’re not “bad” they’re just in addition to what I just said, Are also terribly generic & awkward looking.

On the other hand, Their simplicity will likely introduce Gundam to a young audience that will grow into the better designs from the older shows.]]> MechaBlazeEagle Original Invincible BBS Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:36:11 -0400 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,180283,238263#msg-238263 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,180283,238263#msg-238263 Fort Max Original Invincible BBS Fri, 14 Oct 2011 04:40:28 -0400 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,180283,238230#msg-238230 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,180283,238230#msg-238230 blog.yahoo.com]

That G-Exes looks pretty cool, too. It's so basic and straightforward, unlike the overdecorated AGE-01.

I dunno if it's actually a significant component of the price - it's probably just an RFID chip no more complex than an anti-theft tag.

It's weird that you have to buy the AGE's Titus limbs in two separate sets:
[www.hlj.com]
[www.hlj.com]
and it would be nice if they were CHEAPER - a set of arms and legs costs just 300 yen less than a full figure. I suppose the Titus limbs do consist of more plastic than the standard AGE limbs, though.

On the other hand, this is really cool:
[www.hlj.com]
At no extra cost, you can get a special edition of the AGE morpher with the AGE-01's torso in red. Presumably that shade of red matches either the Titus limbs or the Genoace's main color, but even if it doesn't quite match, it should make for some good-looking combinations with those figure parts.

Damn it, I don't care about Gundam AGE at all, but this gimmick just might get me buying these toys!]]> asterphage Original Invincible BBS Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:58:16 -0400 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,180283,238122#msg-238122 http://toyboxdx.com/phorum/read.php?1,180283,238122#msg-238122
