King Gainer Reshoots

From time to time, I like to get some of my figures and gunpla out to take a few pictures, especially if I felt the first batch of photos could have been much better. In this case, I've decided to get King Gainer out again and test out the ghetto studio and since the actual figure itself has already been covered here, I'll save the words and commence the photo-dump.

Re-release of Revoltech Xan from Overman King Gainer

2800 yen...

The figure will be re-released during this year's 2010 winter Wonder Festival for the price of a whopping 2800 yen. As much as I like this figure, the difficulty of me obtaining one is three fold. First of all, there is no way for me to actually attend the festival to buy it in person, two, it would be cost a ridiculous amount of money which wouldn't have been that big of a deal if it wasn't for the third reason, which is the fact that I'm desperately poor at the moment....so poor.....

Sorry for my mindless ranting and as compensation, have a couple of awesome pictures of Xan itself.

Homemade Photo Studio- This is no store bought DIY product, boy, no DIY product!!

Yes, this is a can of Coke, and no, this is not what this entry is about...I think. Nevertheless, read on for more exciting pictures!

After years of using whatever I can find as background, I finally decided to make a photo studio from scratch. Funnily enough, it worked much better than expected, especially considering that it was made from a piece of a spare cardboard box and a few pieces of printing paper, and is held together by a few pieces of tape.

Revoltech No 007 King Gainer Review

Alright! After a long delay and numerous excuses I've made up for myself, here comes, at last my review of this amazingly designed figure. To start, I just want to say this: I was completely blown away when I first took it out of its box and started playing around with it. To my surprise, its sculpting is more than decent and its articulation is as impressive as I've heard and saw from many Revoltech collectors.

"Gee whiz SpeedStriker, I'm all excited about this figure, but just what's so great about this King Gainer figure and Revoltechs in general?" you ask? Well, dear readers, let's just say that it wasn't until I bought this figure that I realize one of the biggest difference b/w gunpla and Revoltech.

King, king, king....Gainer!

Recently picked up this Revoltech King Gainer at a local hobby store and initial impressions are very positive. This is my first Revoltech and after playing around with it a bit, I can definitely see what the attractions of Revoltech figures are. I will post a more detailed review of this figure soon, but for now, let's just say that this is definitely a good introduction to Revoltech figures and what they are capable of.
