Fucking Kaiyodo is at it again. Just when you think there couldn't possibly be another Revoltech license to do, they are launching an original line-up of characters and toys loosely resembling the venerable Micromen / Micronaut figures of your childhood. The hook is that they will come with a ton of weapons and accessories and even tools to help you mix and match every part to make incredible and insane figures, robots, and vehicles. Despite my love/hate relationship with Revoltech, i'm about to get into deep water with ASSEMBLE BORG. I purchased the first intro set at SDCC at a tiny table way in the back of the corner of the convention hall. Thanks to Jeremy, I found my way back to purchase the set. These are the stock pics at the bottom. Kinda bland looking B&W set, but it comes with a motorcyle so that ain't have bad.
The first set of pics are from Tokyo Toy Festival recently. This 3rd wave (yes, there are already 3 waves) is the most interesting IMO. They must be villians for me to dig them so much.

The 2nd wave which is not completely released yet are thankfully more colorful than the first and feature a Walder homage. You cannot go wrong with that. They sort of bring back memories of your OG Micromen, right?
this last guy is so cool, i could pee in my pants.
Here is Wave 1.
This colorway is deceiving. It looks clear grey, but in certain light, it appears clear purple. Color changing and very cool.
The motorcyle saves Wave 1 and it comes with a separate "Accessory Pack" that you are compelled to purchase.

Ohhhh. I need to find a place to acquire some of these. I have a Tetsujin 28 by revoltech on my desk and I love it but that's because its the character not really because its a revoltech product. I saw a tin tetsujin at Mandarake in Osaka and now I regret not buying one. Och well,... maybe next time.
I have long wanted to check out some AB figs, but could never actually find them to buy any place!
What's the "Accessory Pack" that you mention at the end?
jim, the accessory pack is the motorcycle and some weapons. You have to purchase it separately
