This makes me want to watch Escaflowne again. What a delicious anime.

@@FoxyPercival714 Escaflowne is like Rayearth. Some people like the series, some like the movie... For me, I like the series because of the scene where they call the "engineer" people to fix Escaflowne. But you gotta admit Escaflowne has good soundtracks.

Well at least he has a figure and while Escaflowne doesn't have his dragon mode, again at least he has a figure and you can put him in cool poses. Great job as usual Kararot and I will keep praying for Escaflowne and Outlaw Star to be in Super Robot Wars, even though I know it will never happen.

@snukastyle 2 жыл бұрын

Showing it with the Gunpla would put it at about a 1:72 scale or so, as the Escaflowne is only just over 8 meters tall. It'd scale a lot better with Dunbine's Aura Battlers if Bandai took another stab at it.

@First-Name_Last-Name 2 жыл бұрын

I also wished Bandai's gonna make a "Revive" version of Aura Battlers HG/MG. The Renewal released long time ago(HG:2001/MG:2009) has started to show it's age. I have a suspicion the P-Bandai Dunbine MG(2014) is just the old MG Dunbine with gold engravings(cause it still have the crappy sword gripping hand)

Review is fair enough. I have the Moderoid Dangaioh, and while it's quite a bit better than the Escaflowne, you're still paying MG money for essentially an RE/100 model done well (the finished Dangaioh model is 18 cm tall). Part of that additional expense of course is the licensing fees Good Smile Company has to pay to the original IP owners; Bandai doesn't need to do that as they own Gundam.

@@dol_mel7487 the mid 1990's LMHG's are quite bad in colour accuracy, and parts fitting. To be fair, there were rumours that the early Eva LMHG's are Bandai's learning phase in doing non-Gunpla HG's. Based on my personal experience, the Eva LMHG starts to improve on the 7th kit (01-Test type+extra parts) The huge improvement comes when the Rebuild of Eva series kit was released, starting from year 2007. The Eva RG's is essentially the best Bandai Eva kit. Buy it if it's available and affordable.

@TheDarkestPhoenix 2 жыл бұрын

So, it's a RG/MG in terms of price for a HG in terms of color separation and somewhat awful articulation (though it is impressive that it manages to hold the sword with both hands relatively well). The most interesting part is the face being painted, which is nicer than say, a sticker on there, but that's rather disappointing in general. No transformation gimmick either...
