Starship Troopers Powered Suit from Revoltech-finally!

Written By: toyfreak - Feb• 29•12

Revoltech showed prototypes of this somewhat obscure character when they launched the Tokusatsu line over a year ago. It seemed to vanish, which usually means they ran into licensing issues. Big surprise this week-it’s back and looks like it was definitely worth the wait. This powered suit from the Starship Troopers 1988 OVA stands approximately 6 inches tall and is of course-super articulated and loaded with accessories.  It features thirty moving pieces and comes packaged with two alternate hands, a nameplate, a revol-stand and a super cool pilot! Watch for this one in May for about $45.00.

Great likeness of this seldom produced character.

Fantastic articulation!

Includes a super cool pilot figure.
