Volks MuvLuv Advanced System of Action Arms 05 Takemikaduchi

The Volks blog has a nice preview of the new MuvLuv Advanced System of Action Arms Line. The latest figure is the Type-00A. I'll admit I don't know much about these...

These robots appear to be fuilly poseable completed kits. They feature a unique ratcheted joint system called "A-Lock" (Sound familiar?)

See-!? I told ya in my SOCSpec XS-01 Evangelion Unit-01 review that there was a battle-damage version coming soon! Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I!?
.
But what I didn't know was that they'd be making SOCSpec versions of the "Revival of Evangelion" versions of the EVA Units (XS-03 and XS-04?)! And they're making an SOCSpec version of the 3rd Angel!? And though it's clipped-off in that image, it looks like there's a prototype for the 4th Angel as well--! O.o? (I don't know why they're doing it because they're both far from being mecha, but I do want them nonetheless!)
.
I guess this means my chances of picking up and SOCSpec version of my namesake just rose a bit! Yay!!!

The angels are actually made out of soft vinyl = sofubi. Bandai's retro soft vinyl line is Soul of Sofubi.

...you know that I know Japanese like the back of my hand! :P
.
Sooooooo... these are just static-pose Angels, or will there be some good range of motion involved here? They look like they're to-scale with the SOCSpec figures...!


Should I mention that physical models/toys have been made of only the 3rd, 13th, 14th, and 17th Angels...?
.
11th was a virus with no confirmed shape; 7th was split in half to form two independently-operating yet coordinated Angels (a clever form of regeneration, if I do say so myself); 9th was basically a giant, very thin spider with only four legs; 15th was made of light (but looked pretty wicked!); and 8th was poorly defined on-screen but had a real shape to it.

That would be the "4th Angel" that I mentioned in my first post earlier... ^_^
.
HobbyLink Japan has it listed alongside Sachiel as part of the Soul of Soft Vinyl line in their "Evangelion" section. So far, these two are to-scale with the SOCSpec line, so I wonder if we'll be seeing some other similar-sized Angels...? The 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th, and 15th Angels are the largest ones so they may still avoid those. (But one can hope!)


Did anyone else notice in that same image the kid-like girl dressed up as the Jet Alone, next to Misato? Kawai!
