Revoltech Asuka

Asuka 1

Every time when I visit the hobby store, I pick this box(above) up and think about few minutes and put it back. Today, I do the same, but I never put it back this time. Instead, I bring it home. Welcome Asuka to my collection.

This Fraulein Revoltech of Soryu Asuka is the 12th figure I have bought so far. I'm not so sure why I buy it. She doesn't look so good, especially her face expression is weird. Also compare to Figma, Revoltech is less flexible in posing, and the arms and legs come off so easy while I struggle to make it to the pose I want. The true is I'm a bit regret buying it, but at least I can have her pair up with my Rei, and Asuka looks cool with the motorcycle; maybe I need to get a red one just for her.

Do you own a Revoltech action figure?

Wait, Now I remember I bought Asuka because she has a gun.

I may be able to photoshop the background of this one and make it into a nice wallpaper.

Forecast says Boston will be raining partly tomorrow. I hope there is no rain at least in the morning because I plan to go out for some figure photoshoot. I guess I will have Chiaki negotiate with the raincloud ^^;

i don't own a revoltech as i find that figma is better in quality overall.

but hey at least it's cheap right? ^^;

I own 7 Revoltechs so far (latest: Gurren Lagann), with two being Fraulein. Yes, the limb joints around the arms and legs (especially arms) are bit loose and tend to fall off. The latest Fraulein that I got (Pocco) seems to fall off a lot less.

Funny thing is, while other people got their Fraulein scot-free, mine suffers from QC problems (glued parts/non-revolver joint parts falling off) but fixable thanks to my modeling skills.
