Revoltech Figures

Revoltech (pronounced Ree-bowl-tek) is a special line of figures from Kaiyodo. The name "Revoltech" comes from "Revolver Technology." This name refers to a unique joint system. All figures in this series use a special "Revolver Joint."

How Revolver Joints Work

The Revolver Joint gives figures a wide range of movement. It also makes them very stable. This means you can pose the figures in many exciting ways. The joint has three parts. Two half-spheres create friction for movement. A pin locks the parts together. These parts connect different body pieces of a figure.
