Revoltech Dancougar

Chōjū Kinshin Dancougar (超獣機神ダンクーガ) 1985 Ashi Productions number 78 sculpted by Yamaguchi Katsuhisa

Dancougar, yes I spell it with an R at the end, it just works for me. 

Dancougar was a combining robot series released in 1985 and followed the adventures of a 5 member team of pilots, battling the Muge Zorbados Empire.

This Revoltech figure is a fine complement to the Dangaioh Revoltech that I wrote about back in 2014.

Dancougar is a fine rendition of the combined mecha piloted by the Jyusenki Tai or Cyber Beast Force.

The figure stands at approximately 5 inches, not tall these figures, and has many ball and socket joins distributed amongst its limbs to deliver a variety of poses.

Accessories include a variety of hands (which have been put in storage and I need to find) along with the Dancouken sword.

Well I found the hands, the usual variety. Open expression hands, holding hands and closed fists.

Double handing the Dankouken is a bit tricky due to the wide shoulders.

A fine figure with an incredible range of motion.

Chirico Cuvie Updated and Improved

 

Okay so after staring at the Chirico helmet that I made I concluded that... it really sucks!

In response I decided to cut up the existing piece and add much more accurate improvements through techniques and refinements. 

I added a better looking visor as well as connecting the mask closer to the face.

The results are as follows.

Yeah, I think this looks closer to the anime version.

Update: adding the breathing hose and O2 tank to the mask...

More to follow...

Generations Titans Return Hard Head

Alright Titans Return Hard Head. An interesting figure, highly detailed, with a simple yet satisfying transformation to H-Tank mode. 

The Headmaster gimmick works well 

and looks good.

The vehicle mode serves as a great looking figure fitting with smaller pilot figures.

Alt mode

There's also a hidden Gerwalk mode

Nothing like the obvious face hanging off the back.

Robot mode

Overall a good figure with good articulation and a nice representation of the original G 1 figure.
