Ultra-cool Sci-Fi Revoltech Figures

Just a few weeks ago we welcomed a visit from the primary distributor of Sci-Fi REVOLTECH figures in Japan. He brought a few sample products including the REVOLTECH Alien Xenomorph and we were totally blown away. I mean totally.

Take a look at their Alien Warrior for instance. Isn't this like the most detailed figure you've ever seen!? It was quite unbelievable.

Kaiyodo - the leading, detail-obsessed Japanese figure manufacturer - is behind these figures by the way. No wonder they are so cool. They sure don't make any half-hearted efforts when it comes to figures.
If you've never heard the term REVOLTECH before it refers to several product lines utilizing Kaiyodo's revoltech joint system which allows unprecedented freedom of movement. Check out the crazy joint action on their REVOLTECH Batman for example. Almost every major joint on the body is reproduced with a bending range that mimics the real thing. They make these figures more posable than anything else we've seen so far.

The Sci-Fi REVOLTECH series features a mix of contemporary and classic characters from both Japanese and Western Sci-Fi movies and TV shows. Their selection is rather hodge-podge ranging from Jack Skellington from Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas to ancient cult creatures like Mothra, the rather benign monster moth who featured in sci-fi flicks next to Godzilla in the 1960s.

Here's Jack Skellington looking quite dandy.

It's pretty hard to describe all the goodness on this blog, so if you're fanatical about any of these characters or if you simply love well made figures just head on to the Sci-Fi REVOLTECH section on Jzool.com and check out the full selection!
