Excellent

I love the sheer amount of accessories. These guys plus the Provisional Unit 5 make a full Sentai team...

This isn't a limited item,

This isn't a limited item, right? I think I might have to get this.

I've seen Revoltech EVAs

I've seen Revoltech EVAs up-close, even had a chance to pose one (namely, my namesake), and even though they have outstanding poseability, they just strike me as too fragile and small to get more than one... because I own only one MP EVA, and that's all I'll ever get.
3" is just too action figure-like for my tastes, and crosses that line I tend not to cross. SOCs of the Rebuild EVAS would suit me just fine, but not these.

...This is why, even though I'm an EVA fan, I only have seven displayable items from the franchise (not including three mooks, three CDs, and a wall-hanging).

God, I love the Rebuild color schemes-!

Revoltech isn't really an "action figure"

It's something more like a "posing figure", where the whole point is "look at this awesome pose I made it do". You wouldn't fly a Revoltech around the room and strafe something.

As for the set: I wish that they'd done more stuff like this for Revoltech. Why not do a Valkyrie Team Vermillion? Or the Getter Team? That would be pretty sweet.

I know that they're not

I know that they're not "action figures" per se. The problem I have with them is they're scaled down to typical toy 3" action figure size, and yet are more fragile than a toy action figure. It's the at-scale frailty of them I really don't like.

And I also know Revoltechs are more about the poseability than anything else. (I wouldn't have four Revoltechs if it weren't for that!)

Howsabout a Patlabor team?

That actually may be true-

That actually may be true- Rebuild EVA-03 hasn't been sold generally, only as a limited-issue offer to a magazine.

Gomen na, pliers!

I like how the set includes the Dimension Pliers from Gao Gai Gar ;)

(yes, I know, but that's what they look like!)

Revoltech Yamaguchi - Eva Collectors Box

Nice set but I won't buy it. I don't like the ball joints on Revoltechs. They simply put me off. That's why I have only six Revoltechs.

Pretty impressive set. I

Pretty impressive set. I like my toys to be made out of ABS, though. Rubber doesn't do it for me. I don't see why you'd like a Patlabor team any better, they're made out of the same engineering. Now that all my micromen are sagging and have super loose ball joints, I'm starting to appreciate revoltech a little more, though. If only I could have both...

That's what Assemble Borg is supposed to do

Unfortunately Assemble Borg doesn't really seem to show up much on HLJ or whatever.

Yeah, I was hoping assemble

Yeah, I was hoping assemble borg could fill the microman gap, but it seems the line pretty much died out just when I started liking the art direction (Phantasy Star Online). Oh well, they were bigger than GI Joe scale anyway. Maybe microman can come back with sockets lined with rubber. Maybe I can do that myself...

Not Impressed

Way to make my magazine exclusive Unit-03, and 7-11 Net exclusive Unit-00 not quite so exclusive Kaiyodo...

The only way I'd be more upset is if this set came with extra parts...
