revoltech no. 50 - gurren lagann

i picked up the much coveted and newly released revoltech no. 50 at anime expo earlier this month.  in the first 5 minutes of walking through the exhibit hall, i spotted it and snagged it for a great deal of $15!!!  


yellow sunshine buddy doesn't even know that he's about to be decapitated!  watch out!

the patented revoltech joints allow for virtually any pose to be attained.


i love how the chest plate is a face resembling the demons of traditional japanese art.

this figure definitely has great stance and feel to it.

the logo on the shoulder armor is super cool as well.

it ain't easy being a robot.

no. 50's armor reminds me of a futuristic version of samurai armor that i studied in eighth grade social studies.  the armor plating on the waist, the helmet and even the gauntlets all remind of a samurai.  

if looks could kill, you'd have a plastic boomerang in your face right now.


gurren lagann is by far one of the coolest looking robots i own.  revoltech never fails to bring quality plastic into my display case.

stay tuned for the next photoshoot.
