Continuing the revoltech G1 love, Wheeljack proved to be exceptionally difficult to make in revo form, as his proportions in the cartoon shift substantially from what a real car would. His chest and feet become car parts that are completely different scale from his legs/shins. I ended up casting parts from two different sizes of…

Revoltech Spider-Man
Last week I received a box from Japan, my first revoltech figure in the 6″ scale, Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Spider-Man. While this isn’t a full-blown review, I wanted to take some pictures that really show off the finer points of this figure.

This was my very first attempt to sculpt or shape anything harder than mild curvature, and at such a small scale, it was challenging. Making that helmet from nothing…
Revoltech Transformers – Shockwave

Revoltech Transformers – Mirage
As I explained in an earlier post, I wanted to make additional characters in a line of highly articulated, non-Transforming figures that died well before it’s time. Autobot Mirage, everyone’s favorite blue F1 car, was my second figure. Collecting is half the Battle!

Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus (a white Prime repaint), Megatron, Starscream, and Hotrod were the only characters released before Kaiyodo moved on to different scales, movie figures, etc., and left the G1 fans wanting…
