The spiffy revolver joint

Revoltech is a multi-property brand of super-articulated action figures produced by Japanese toy company Kaiyodo. The whole selling point of the line is that the figures are articulated with many of the "revolver joint" that gives the line its name. Introduced in mid-2006, as of April 2007 the line was on its 29th numbered figure, not counting unnumbered redecoes such as Ultra Magnus from Optimus Prime. Unusual for a Japanese figure line, Revoltech freely mixes giant robots with action figures of human characters, such as Dante of Devil May Cry and Revy of Black Lagoon. Regardless of height in the source material, all figures in the line stand approximately 12 cm at the head. With this glaring lack of scale, the Transformers license was a natural, although like a modern-day Action Master the trade-off is a lack of transforming.
