Didn't manage to get any quality pics of the Fraulein Revoltech figures at the Wonfes but luckily there was the WHL this week.
Fraulein Revoltech (click to enlarge)
Been waiting ages for the technology to catch up for makers to be able to bring us articulated figurines.

I guess the tough part is hiding all the ball joints and it looks like Kaiyodo done a good job of concealing them.

This is called a Sotai (素体) which means "blank body" - a bit like the "blanks" in the film The 6th Day.

Will be interesting to see how much the joints stand out on bare legs n arms.

Wow, the fraulein Rei does look nice. It seems Kaiyodo did a good jib concealing the joint. Definitely will buy it when its out...

it looks quite ok since it's still in the technology development stage.. joints seems quite visible to me though..

but the main point of this type of figuring is that it can change it's posture to make it unique to one.. which in turn plays a big part in most fans..

Revoltech has really been amazing in the way that they make these poseable figurines.  They have the same lifelike feel as the jointless figures, especially this one.  Once again Japan proves that it can make quality products... not lifeless unimaginative junk like we see made in America.  I have one of those wooden posable figures used for drawing.  Rei will now replace that.

They really should have rolled this out before releasing other human revolvtechs like Revy.

Looking good, but I don't think I'll be getting these. There's less incentive to pose these figures compared to the mecha or saber figures.

Nice job on the close up Danny. I wasn't able to check it out in detail at WonFes also.

I really like how they conceal the huge Revoltech Joint orb hehe.

I'm a fan of both their mecha and frauline line. When I saw the Saber series, I got them both immediately. Can't wait for Rin Tohsaka. (I'm not a fan of Evangelion to get Rei Ayanami)

I might have missed this, but what IS Fraulein Revoltech? Is it another sculpter or something? That articulation makes my Revy revoltech look stiff.

kintaro Fraulein comes from the German word woman (Frau),lein I think its line or something like that so I guess you can translate it to Woman line or line woman.

This rey is definitely on my buy list

i love the revoltech series, got both versions of saber even.  Definitely gonna be looking out for this.  I hope the final product will look better, there are still some areas that could use some changes. ^^

I'll get Rei Ayanami and check out some othero nes too. I'm still wondering whether or not to get Saber :S

Anyways, they make a great manikin to draw some good poses! :D

the revoltech series looks great, but seems cheaply put together seeing as how much they cost. I bought the Eva-01 f-type, and it keeps falling apart.. luckily it goes back together easy.

It looks good. I'm holdig out for a Rin Tohsaka one, to pair off with my Revoltech Saber. :)

Posability and look have always been a balance issue with figures. If you prefer quality sculpts, the figurines are better, but I personally like posability, so I keep preferring posable figures.

CrazyAnimeTuga, Fraulein (Frau means woman) actually means lass or young lady in German. Little translations like this make less regret taking this course when I was younger.

Kinda reminds me of Microman/Microlady. The latest Microlady figures are pretty good in hiding those articulation joints.

I've been late to the game of collecting anime toys/figures, but I'm glad I've come back to the Fraulein Revoltech: Rei!  It looks amazing and wayyyy better than the toys in the U.S. ::sob::

We can learn a thing or two (or three or more) from the Japanese companies/sculptors.

I'm a fan of Pocco from this series. She is modeled after an illustration by Shunya Yamashita and looks amazing on my shelf! None of the other Frauleins tempt me so far, but I'm sure there will be some more I'll cave into and buy. I have to REALLY like a character or design to buy a figure with articulated joints.
