Intro: After long overdue, we present to you Revoltech #30 - DieBuster from the Japanese anime series - Gun buster 2.
OBE: Well, I actually look pretty much to this figure. I've gotta say the moment I took him out of the box he feels heavy! This weight comes from the solid legs that he has. Both of them feel very sturdy but a little bit overweight for figure this scale. The reason being that you need to do a little bit of extra balancing work to achieve the desired poses.
The figure comes with a few accessories such as extra hand/fist for each side, An iron club, a hand drill thing, extra head with the eye closed, a back ghost image and also a display stand.
One thing that I would like to point out is, whenever you wanted to close the elbow so that both hands are positioned towards the chest, you'll have to bend the elbow like close to some 80 to almost 90 degrees or so. If you're not careful, the elbow will tend to pop off very often. The reason being that the revoltech joint which resides inside is too short for the rather large arm pieces as you can see from the pic above. You'll hardly notice the Revoltech joints protruding out also.
I dunno if they have any standard Revoltech joint length for both end of it or not, they could just make it longer to prevent this... sigh. As a result, the infamous Buster Beam! attack could not be executed properly, the fists just couldn't touch each other.
As for the posing, the cloak is splitted into 2 sheets attaching to a Revoltech joint each but I find it hard to bend it to any angle at all cos of the weight and the small joint just cannot hold the pressure.
If you take off the cloak, you can mount the 'ghost' face' armor plate at the back of his..well, back. They have some nice touch of the smoke which emits out from top of the mask.
2 Weapons are available, the fist mounted 'drill' knuckle and a bat.
Pros: Nice solid figure, good paint job overall. Nice add-on ghost mask with fancy smoke effect.Cons: Elbow tend to pop off very often, too heavy legs requires some extra balancing effort.
Rating: 7/10
Until next time, who wants a piece of me?!!
