Revoltech #66 Gurren & Lagann


It has been a while I wrote anything on Gurren Lagann so here is another Revoltech figure from one of my favourite super robot anime, Gurren and Lagann.



The out-of-box content. There are accessories for both Gurren and Lagann.



Gurren and Lagann are 2 separate Gunmen which are piloted by Kamina and Simon respectively.



Lagann is Simon's personal Gunmen which he finds in the first episode while digging tunnels in his village. It draws power from the Core Drill, a small golden drill Simon uses similar to an ignition key. Unlike any other Gunmen in the series, the Lagann sports a unique cockpit and stands just short of an average human adult.



Gurren, originally named "Gunzar" is an above-average sized Beastmen-piloted mecha. It was subsequently captured, rebuilt, stylized and named by Kamina. Being of typical Gunmen proportions, the Gurren is able to fight without the Lagann's power. While its individual power was initially not on the same level as advanced Gunmen/pilot pairs, such as Viral and his Enki, Kamina eventually became experienced enough to hold his own against multiple enemies.



We will pierce through heaven!




The shade on Gurren can be used as a deadly blade.



Thanks to those Revoltech joints, you will be able to pose Gurren on some of the most dynamic poses.




Lagann is able to form drills anywhere on it's body and use it as a weapon. The most well-known form of this attack is the "Lagann Impact".



Gurren would grab hold of Lagann and flung it out towards it's enemy. Lagann Impact can also be used to assimilate other mecha into Lagann.



It is through this ability that the titular Gurren Lagann is created!


If I am not mistaken, Gurren and Lagann might be the last figure produced by Kaiyodo for this Revoltech line. They might not be as cool or as awesome like the other mecha from this show but they are iconic on their own right and is a must-have for any Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann fan.
