----
My name is Tomás Vergara, a self taught 3d artist and a film nut. As for now, I’m 25. I was born in Chile and I live here. In 2011, I left my full time job in advertising to produce The Chase, my first personal project, completed in an isolated cabin in the woods. It took me 6 months to produce, but 8 in total to complete because of slow render times. My budget was US $700.

Revoltech Yamaguchi FullMetal Panic! ARX-8 Laevatein Last War Use

Normally I would be all over this toy. What's not to like? Impressive array of weapons plus the glider gimmick. Awesome right? Well, it's Revoltech. And experience will show that although Revoltech has great intentions, the toys themselves are just not that fun to play with. Putting them in cool positions is a chore rather than fun. Still fans of FullMetal Panic! will undoubtably want this toy. Out in Mid August. Pre-Order yours for ¥2,920 yen at AmiAmi
