This is why Revoltech Saber fail!

Fat and lack of detail, lousy paintjob, and the face expression.

Haha, but i must admit that Revoltech Saber's face is cuter biggrin.gif and its price is cheaper too, despite being bigger than figma's

Huhu, rather than cute, the figma version looks closer to the actual anime look of Saber

Does the articulation points join nicely? Or do you have to force it in?  blink.gif

Wel, the figma joint fit nicely to PVC joint of 1/144 HGUC RX78-2 i used. For the elbow joint, i (temporarily) didnt use figma joint, instead use cuts of leftover runner from my kits. Heve to replace whole lower arms to enable usage of gunpla weapons

Thanks bro...quite clear about it.....  (another question, any idea the name of the series/version for Gundam which is
ready to play ?? )

i noticed that the price for Macross is very expensive(beyond reach of most people), gundam is varied...from low to High
priced....and revoltech is medium...(BTW, what is the price range for revoltech like...??)
*
I'm going OT, since this should be ask at Hobbytiam thread sweat.gif
Well, to begin with, revoltech and macross are both prepainted action figure, in which they require manual labor for painting(which usually done in China), while gundam (i'm talking about its model kits here), are made almost 100% by machines, in factory in Japan(didnt require as many manual labor as prepainted figure/action figure), therefore cheaper than action figure, despite the same size.
Then, for macross and revoltech, the reason why both of them have large price difference is due to the amount and kinds of material used to produce them. Revoltech are about 16cm+-, while Macross is about 30cm+- and also include diecast parts (while revoltech are made by pvc and plastics).
For gundam (model kits), the principles are also the same, more material used = more expensive, but for the price of average revoltech, you can get a gundam model kit that is bigger than any revoltech (coz plastic is cheaper than pvc)

As summary, price difference depends on whether it's prepainted or not, material used and size

Is it just me or does the paint work of figmas get damaged easily when you play around with them?
One of my Lelouch's face has a black line across his face (cheek) after I was changing the parts  sad.gif . When I first opened the box it wasnt there.
*
Hmm, my figma Haruhi's upper left arm paint also got scratched(although only a lil) after several time i move them. Hmm, but if at cheek, it may be just stain (try to rub it off with clothes), coz the face should be molded with the same color as the skin (meaning, the skin color is actually the color of material itself, not paint)

Quite hard to come off by using a cloth. Rubbing the face part makes it shinier. Had to resort to a blade to remove it  sweat.gif . There's a little scratch there now but its not so obvious compared to the black line.
*
Hmm, most probably the paint from other parts scratched off to the face. From his clothes maybe? Coz I think the color of the clothes is painted

Yeah, maybe the other parts like the cat since when you dump everything in the zippo bag, everything will rub against each other ^^. Still, I wish that they could have made it so that the paint doesn't stick to other parts that easily.

Is there other methods of removing it like using a solvent? Thinner or something maybe and will it damage the original paint?
Most prolly have to use the healing brush tool for close up shots on the face now with the minor scratch there. sleep.gif

Use thinner for gunpla (Danny Choo did mentioned in his blog b4;when he want to remove paint from inner parts of Queens Blade Airi figure). However, take extreme care so that the thinner will not go over to other painted parts

who cares as long as it sell so expensive it wont sell much!

Haha, if the amount of material used are more, how can sell cheap. Furthermore it is an action figure. Action figures usually aare more expensive than static figure of the same size. Figma and fraulein can maintain their cheap price bcoz of their scale (1/11 to 1/12). Static figure of the same scale of figma/fraulein can cost only half of figma/fraulein's price.

Also, as long as the price is reasonable(taking into account the figure size, details etc), the figure will sell. For example, 1/6 Appleseed action figures. Their price (XL price) is about RM 450-650, but people still buy(sold out summore)
