What is the best version of Gurren Lagann to get, keeping in mind I'm on a budget of at most £100 and show accuracy is a must.

Probably Revoltech #119.

And if you're lucky you'll get one of the packaging flubs. Pic related.

The riobot is actually my least favourite of the figures available due to the godawful 3d shoulder pad logo

Quoted By:

If your only concern is "show accuracy", then there's the Impact Model. It has an inferior sculpt and articulation, but it's the most on-model articulated figure out there. It looks ugly, poses like garbage but it follows the exact proportion of the spec models.

The Revoltech has a much, much nicer sculpt but the proportions are fudged to be more dynamic. This could work in your favour as when it's posed, it sort of captures the heavily distorted proportions of Gurren Lagann when it's in motion. This is by far the best option.

I strongly recommend the Riobot regardless. It's a marvel of engineering and absolutely beautiful.

Probably the Great Impact one, but it's really expensive.

Riobot if you want really stylized (but you claim you don't) and sharp one with cool engineering

SRC if you want something better than Revoltech but don't have the money for Great Impact or Riobot.

Revoltech if you want something basic.

I have the SRC. As people usually mention, the knees are a bit odd, but I got used to them, and I love it now. Great figure, in my opinion.

So that rules out the Great Impact, Riobot and probably SRC Gurren Lagann

Revoltech it is for you.

Don't get the Revoltech.
It is garbage.

I like Revoltechs but Gurren Lagann is a complete mess.

Great Impact is overly shiny and ugly.

Riobot looks nice but is pretty off model.

SRC might be your best bet despite the weird knees.

There are no KO Revoltechs.
I believe the Ninja Turtles, and a select few after that were bootlegged, but none o the older ones were/are.

I have owned the majority of existing GL figures, and after all that, my favorite is still the SRC. Yes, the kneepads are huge and look weird in standing-straight-up position, but if you have it in an action pose they look just fine. To me it's a worthwhile tradeoff, as the range of motion, ease of posing, and sculpt crispness are off the charts.

Oh yeah, and it also has an ugly inaccurate shoulder emblem, just like the Riobot. I'm not sure why everyone seems to feel the need to fuck with that thing.

Absolutely agreed. I love the SRC Gurren Lagann. I still need to get the Drillset of Manliness, though.

Well, diecast joints in general are dangerous because once they go loose they're very difficult to tighten again, but for what it's worth, I've had mine since it came out in 2013 and have zero problems with any of the joints. They're still pleasingly firm and tight, yet smooth and easy to move. Every time I pick it up I'm delighted at how solid it feels and how easily it poses. If you haven't already, watch the video posted a few posts up, it illustrates my point pretty well. This thing has a PHENOMENAL range of motion.

I've got the Great Impact Model and the Revoltech. The GIM is expensive but makes a really nice display piece once you finagle it into a pose that doesn't make it looks dreadful, while the Revo is just fun to mess with and looks decent enough however it ends up posed. If you're on a budget, I'd recommend the Revo.

Can anyone with the Revoltech and the SRC Gurren Lagann take a picture of them side by side?
I have the SRC and am tempted to get the revoltech lazengann, so I just wanted to know how big the difference is height wise

This isn't the greatest since the SRC has bent legs, but fwiw Lazengann is slightly shorter than Revo GL. And the SRC is taller than Revo GL. Soooo yeah, Lazengann might look a tad shrimpy next to him.

Boy, I wish Sentinel had gotten around to releasing their Lazengann.

FWIW the show model actually has Revoltech joints in some of the close-ups, so in that way the Revo might be the best option.

Yes yes, we all know by now. Still, even though the Revo is a good cheap option, it has been outclassed and isn't recommended if you can afford something better. The hips are particularly annoying, and also, it was made back when Revolver joints had less ratcheting points so posing it isn't as easy as a modern Revo.
