Revoltech #62 - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

In the final arc of the anime, the combined spiral energy from Simon and his comrades gave birth to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. If you were to categories TTGL, it will fall into the "Cosmic Entity" group because it is 10 millions light years in height! That is around 9,460,730,472,580.8 km x 10,000,000 or 100 times the size of the Milky Way!!! It is so humongous that it is seen battling the Anti-Spiral's Grand Zamboa using the universe as their arena and throwing galaxies around like a plaything!!! That being said, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is close to what everyone will call a diety.


Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann along with all the gadjets. Kaiyodo should at least includes Yoko's rifle and Viral's katana here!



Front and rear view of TTGL. TTGL spot a design similiar to Gurren Lagann with a few exceptions notably the 10 red skulls that can be found all over the body.



Close up on the front view. Sorry for the lousy shots. I need to brush up on my photography skill.


Spiral energy burns in the center of the face on the chest that radiates flame which gives TTGL the appearance of the Dai-Gurren Brigade's emblem.


Its abdominal mouth is clenched onto the head of the Lazengann, containing a fully resurrected Lord Genome.



Galaxy-sized GIGA DRILL!!!!!

Kaiyodo has done an excellent job with this figure with minor paintjob problem. One of my complain regarding this figure is the tone for the red. Kaiyodo should use a brighter red similiar to that of the box art instead of the dark red they used on the actual production. It gives TTGL a dull appearance compare to the previous 2 Gurren Lagann release. That aside, there is also room for improvement for the head. Perhaps, it is too small (smaller than Gurren Lagann) hence it is difficult for the sculptor to work with. I find the facial expression a bit emotionless. At least give us a head with that cocky grin!

All in all, TTGL is a great release. Now I will patiently wait for Kaiyodo to release a Great Zamboa so that I can pair it with TTGL. :D
