All right, you talked me into it.



I really question Kaiyodo's initial choices with these characters. Baragon was a fantastic character to start with, one that really shows how cool these little figures could be. But then as far as Toho items go they followed it up with a moth, the stiffest robot ever to come out of Toho, a maser cannon and a monster with large wings. Fantastic posing potential just isn't there with any of these figures and I hope they aren't losing steam with these releases because Angilas and Gigan make much more sense as far as character choices go.

The Rodan, Mogera and Mothra Revoltechs were basically Christmas presents to myself and since we've pretty much been snowed in here on the east coast for a couple of days I figured it was a good time to play around with these figures a little bit and finally snap some photos of them. I didn't unpack all the accessories when I took picture though. Just the necessary ones.

I like Rodan the more I break it in. I wasn't expecting this much articulation to be honest. The head can move forward and back or side to side (though because of the type of joint Revoltech uses never at the same time) and can turn a full 360. That's a great variety of motion there and with the mouth that opens (not very wide, but it opens) Rodan has a lot of personality you don't see on most figures of this guy. The waist articulate is also very useful for dramatic poses.



The wings are great. You can get more poses out of them than you'd think. Even the little claws can move up and down. I was even surprised by how easy it was to stand the figure without placing it on the building it comes with. Granted it looks better on the building but at least it does stand. The bendable wing tips are a nice touch too. The pictures really don't show just how nice this figure is.



As far as the Toho Revoltechs go so far I'd probably rate Rodan as my second favorite of the bunch, second only to Baragon. They really pulled off a winner hear and added more articulation than I thought possible. I'd go on record as saying this i probably one of the very best Rodan toys ever made. It perfectly retains the spirit of the original Rodan. If you haven't already picked this up and are on the fence about it, get it.



I'll post my thoughts on the other two soon.

nice pics Legion. I am one of those who are "on the fence" and I still am to be honest. It might would change if you would post a Mothra Revoltech and Rodan Revoltech pic of them together so I can maybe judge how big Rodan is compared to Mothra. Could you also show more of Rodan's wing articulation? Like can the wings fold up sort of "bird-like" or something where the wings can tuck in closer to the body?
