I'll buy 2. One to keep as is and one to tear up for fodder for a Joe-based Solid Snake, because as nice as that figure is it is in no way going to blend in with Joes on the shelf.

I liked the Mini-RT EVAs, but wasn't impressed w/ the Street Fighters. They were too pre-posed towards action poses rather than being sculpted from a neutral pose like Joes. These look to be the same.

110 mm ≠ 4 inch

4 inch = 101.6 mm

TOO TALL! :-P

Yeah, that's a bit steep.

Pix on Toyark suggest the eyes move. Guess they do. (This would be a first for 1:18 if true.)

RevolTech's been using the eye-pick a lot lately. You remove the back of the head to expose a screwhead or whatnot that moves the eyes around synchronously. It's a feature of all the Pixar RTs, and several others. It's why all them panty-stealing Woody pics make him look so lecherous.

Definitely an interesting feature, but I'd rather have hip balls than eyeballs. What's the play value; he gets to look at all the places he wishes he could walk to?

The hip articulation appears to be different from other Revoltech figures I've had (though admittedly I don't get that many Revoltechs.) I don't know of it will be better though. The hips on the Streetfighter figures were just appalling.
