Revoltech Hokuto no Ken #023- Raoh Musou

The King of Fist is back in Hokuto Musou with a set of new attire.

Out-of-box content. I do not recall getting 2 stands for this figure. I guess that was a technical error on my part while I was taking picture for this figure.

Front view of Raoh without his cape.

Close up on Raoh. There is a slight improvement in terms of the face sculpt.

Back view of the figure.

There was a lot of folds and tones on the clothes and trinkets.

Raoh was a master of the Go no Ken (Fist of Strength).

"Tensho Honretsu".

The king bows to no one!


Raoh with the shoulder guards.

There is a slight improvement in the head sculpt.

The grinning face fits Raoh the most.


Another view of the rear of the figure with the shoulder guards.


Raoh can literally smash anyone into a pulp with his fists.


Raoh with his full attire. He looks very much like a viking lord.

The robe was made up of 3 parts which is similar to the earlier release.


This figure does not suffer the "wobbly head" effect on the previous figure which was caused by the over-sized helmet.


No one can stand against the might of Kenoh!

This figure is a lot more refined compare to the previous release. It basically puts the previous Raoh figure to shame due to the improved face sculpt, joints and design.

Revoltech Sci-Fi #031 War Machine

In order to stop a drunken Tony from hurting himself and endanger everyone in the party, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes was left with no choice but to don the Mark II armour in order to engage Tony in his Iron Man armour. After beating some sense into the intoxicated Tony, Rhodes delivers the armour to the military which later weaponized the Mark II armour into War Machine.

Out-of-box content. The only thing that interest me is the gun effect parts.

Front view of figure. It is retrofitted with conventional weapon such as the gatling gun and machine guns.

Back view of the figure. The big back pack doubles as an ammo storage for the gatling gun.

Close up on the figure. I like the red highlight on the visor.

Guns a blazing!


Gatling gun and machine guns are the way to go! At least it is a lot more fun to pose with then repulsor ray.

The bulky armour and heavy weaponry gives it a distinctive look and character which contrast very well with the slim line Iron Man. The only downside of this figure is that it is top heavy and tend to topple a lot.
