nihongo|Revoltech|リボルテック 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 utilize. This gives the figures a high degree of articulation, 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 andHumanoid , with the Real Robot line being the best served at present. Thus far, only mecha/characters fromanime andvideo games have been covered.Lines
