Lack of DVDs Ain’t Stopping Gurren Lagann Toy
I’ve not seen any of Gurren Lagann?what with its North American DVD shenanigans?but I’m told it’s the best mecha show in years, a claim I’m willing to believe, since it’s directed by the same guy who made FLCL. I have played with the Revoltech toys, which are shockingly poseable and well-sculpted, whether they be of mecha or dames. So I find Organic Hobby’s Revoltech Gurren Lagann figure pretty keen, with drill and sunglasses/boomerang blade accessories, a few hands, and 54 (!) points of articulation. There’s another pic after the jump.
