Why is his costume full of wrinkles? He seems to either have worn a larger costume or that he lost 10 kilograms. That upsets me more than the chewing bubble gum the sculptor forgot to remove from the base.

Some more Toho movie monsters have shown up on the Sci-Fi Revoltech roster:

The original Mothra:

Mogera from The Mysterians:

There was a Sci-Fi Revoltech display at Anime Expo this past weekend, and the Buzz Lightyear figure looked a bit smallish (around 5"-6" tall, but very well detailed).  Didn't see Woody though.

What the hell is with these chewing gum "Bamf!" effects? If
it's that hard to sculpt...why not just forget about
trying? Nice Nightcrawler statue, though.

I love that it also include Galactus' shorts. :-)

Here is a list of the Hasbro Comic-Con exclusives.
 
A couple that I am interested in:

Iron Man Mark VI Mighty Mugg w/ Flip-Up Visor

Transformers Autobot Prowl Mighty Mugg

And I know there are a couple of SHS fans out there.

I'm digging the Mayor! I just wish they'd put a moratorium on including Spider-Man or Iron Man with any new packs for a year or three.

Gotta have that SDCC Exclusive Galactus.  That looks awesome.  Wish it were bigger that 19".  36" would be incredible !!!!!

What would a scale Galactus be for the 3 1/2 inch figures ?

Completely underwhelmed by the SDCC Galactus. What is it with this need to mess with Kirby's elegant (and relatively simple) design? Every time more stuff is added to the armor, it just becomes more clunky and silly looking.

What the heck is up with Darth Maul?  I guess they've decided that he survived being cut in half?


Not that that surprises me but this is one train-wreck of a figure.  I guess the Jedi shouldn't be so quick to burn their fallen heroes on a pyre if Maul and Vader could be saved.  Qui-Gon didn't seem like he was hurt particularly badly by comparison.
