Sheesh Y’all, It’s More Than Just Anime
After reading 0ne’s introduction to Freedom Formula, I knew that I just had to read it. After all, I fell in love on first sight with the mecha design ever since I spotted the figurines at STCC a couple of months ago. It’s great that Kinokuniya imported it in.
It’s finally out. After months and months of waiting, Revoltech has finally announced an official date for the Laevatein’s release! 15 August!!! You can check out the details at Amiami.
Never have I wanted an action figure so badly, but this is the FREAKING ARX-8, so I suppose I can!
I’ve been waiting forever for the release date for the ARX-7 by Alter to be announced, but after almost a year of playing the waiting game, there was still no hint. Only some prototypes at the various figurine events. In Wonderfest ‘08, there seemed to be no pictures of the ARX-7 taken. I started to worry that it might have been dropped.
Then, I saw this.
This is why you should frequent GA Graphic. They cover stuff no one else covers.
Looks like there’s another Revoltech release to look forward to. Recently, at the Revoltech Expo, this was one of the new prototypes showcased. I did not realise that Laevatein was at featured at the Expo until someone in IRC mentioned it.
Even though the current prototype is not coloured, it already looks awesome. Looks like this would be another must-buy Revoltech Figurine, like Ayanami Rei and Gurren Lagann.
There is currently no official release date for Laevatein, but my guess is some time around May or June.
Full Metal Panic Armslaves seriously need more mecha love. There are only extinct trading figurines of some of the Armslaves, and no official statement on the 1/60 scaled versions. Hopefully, Alter would surprise us with the long awaited announcement. And even if they fail to do so, I do hope that Revoltech continues to complete all the Armslaves. Especially ARX-7 and M9.
