Revoltech Joint

Revoltech is an action figure line from the Japanese company Kaiyodo. The main selling point of the line is the 'Revolver' joint, which all of the figures utilise. This gives the figures a high degree of poseability, allowing for many dynamic and varied poses.

The subject matter for the Revoltech line can be broadly split into 3 categories - Real Robot, Super Robot and Humanoid, with the Real Robot line being the best served at present. Thus far, only mecha/characters from anime and video games have been covered.

Since Revoltech began in mid-2006 with the release of the first three figures, there have been two new figures released each month. The following list also includes the ones announced for release within the next two months:
