Depends on the scene, really.

I think the lineart is pretty busty though.

I like 'em with curves, ya dig?


Also I'm pretty sure the Sol Tekkamangs units are green and blue because those are more earthy tone because they were made by Earth people :3

Nobody buys action figures of fighting game characters. They can't even make a decent Sol Badguy.

Also Max Factory showed off a Figma Blade and Evil.

[oniityan.blog.so-net.ne.jp]

Both Blade and Evil in Blastor mode came out.

[p-bandai.jp]

See they're under Armor Plus


"Reason I'm so surprised about Miyuki is I'd think they would have made Tekkaman Lance, who while not that big a character he COULD share the same 'core' as Blade and Evil and thus reduce tooling costs. "

Yeah but that doesn't mean a lot people would want to buy Lance. Aki and Miyuki probably share some parts (being tekkagals) and better to make two important characters than one nobody cares about.

Yeah the SG means there's no removable armor.

>>Me, I'd love to see EVERY Tekkaman made, but I really doubt we're going to see that.

Yeah I think people like Tekkaman Blade more as a character than as merchandise. He gets to be in crossover games. Even sometimes alongside Detonator Orgun.

Did they ever do the Armor Plus Blastor Blade? I don't see it listed at the Tamashii site.

DAMN YOU VEEF!!! We need posable figures of EVERYTHING!!! Preferably with optional soft-goods outfits, like the Saint Myth figures.

You mean like most of the people on this site :v

Well Miyuki is important story wise. She's third after Blade and Evil more or less. Aki's the main girl and probably the only thing people like about Missing Link or Tekkaman Blade II. Other than the whole line about having D-boy spray his seed all over her.

Never saw Blade II myself.

Well the Tekkamans don't really break down as nicely as regular armored figures. It's kind of assumed that they all turn into that weird intermediate step. And plain clothes anime characters are more suited to statues or trading figures.

Because the mere idea of doing a Sol Tekkaman is collecting more dust than the actual Sol Tekkaman kits did. Plus Balzac's rebuilt Sol Tekkaman was kind of lame weapons wise. Like it traded the Powered Suit style shoulder cannon for those little things on its back that spray fermion blasts and the suit has to do a Guncannon pose just to use them. Lame-o.

If they do any Sol Tekkamans, they will definitely be exclusives. Tamashii Web is like the life support for Soul Spec and Armor Plus.

Thank you. I was ranting more about the people who buy the toys without knowing the show and thus wouldn't give a crap about the context and meaning of that particular figure. It boggles my mind that they made a figure of Miyuki/Rapier, let alone Aki,

My big sadness is that since unlike Samurai Troopers there isn't a 'civilian' version of the character under the armor, the Tekkaman Blade figures don't come with a poseable figure of the character untransformed.
