just open up revoltech war machine.

as expected, hasbro version is better although it's not so poseable.

revoltech version too flimsy and top part too heavy

I just ordered the war machine few days back. Kinda missed out of it in the month of Sept tongue.gif

How in what sense better? Details?

Cheers.

hasbro has better sculpt and it wont do the face plant.

revoltech more joints but cause problem posing coz top part too heavy

Ic ok. Oh well, I guess have to rely on those stands to support the unproportionated weight. At least it's a compliment to my current Iron Man VI.

Btw, what's face plant?

I've gotten mind from HLJ. I've emailed them. Gotten a response to check again and replied already that I did that before emailing them. Waiting again for another reply. I hope they send the missing gun part soon. My war machine just cannot hang out with iron without the missing gun. wink.gif

Uh oh mine will arrive from HLJ also (together with Vash). Hopefully will not be the same case as u

Well, I guess it's just bad luck for me that my War Machine is missing a gun. My ARX-7 came with it okay. So far my friends who ordered things from there have been lucky as well.

how can ar? the box sealed or not?(i mean IMWM box)

Well, it was with the semi-transparent paper around that box and a plastic wrap around the two Revoltech boxes. This was how I received it... The IMWM box is under the ARX-7.

Character wise for Nicholas is not as interesting as Vash but his cross or the other props, there are slightly more than what Vash will have. You have parts to have the cross in closed form, then machine gun or rocket mode. He has individual hand gun as well if you dun open up the cross.

Since I like both these characters in Trigun, it's the reason I bought both of them.

aquilate - any update on the missing part?

so far i found that while amiami is much cheaper, they're not the easiest to deal with when it comes to missing / faulty parts.

hlj and hobbysearch on the other hand, awesome support.

Yup, got an email from them today. They will be sending a replacement IMWM and told me to keep the current one as complimentary biggrin.gif

that's good to hear x) hobbysearch offered me three "solutions" when i had issues with my alter gwendolyn

1. full refund to paypal
2. refund in points  (amount spent to hobbysearch points)
3. a new figurine.

i chose the 3rd option and was told something along the line of "hi, we will send out the item within 2 working days, and just to let you know if there are any more issues with the figurine we will not be offering anymore compensation"

doh.gif

Ic ok. It's good to hear hobbysearch has that kind of service. As for the 3rd option, like most of us do, just hope nothing missing again and me not getting another IMWM without a right arm gun. wink.gif *grin*

monoeye: Yup. So far first impression is good.

Uh... that's bad. For some people, if you tried gluing it back might be worst than better.

Well, it's a surprise for me they are sending a whole unit as a replacement. I just needed one small gun only. So, now I'm feeling a bit on Cloud 9.
