Kaiyodo, makers of the Dreamwave Inspired Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Megatron Revoltech figures will be releasing Revoltech versions of Rodimus and Starscream in 2008. For those who don't know, Revoltech figures feature are incredibly poseable, but do not transform.

Fantastic, I really like the Revoltech figures. The picture isnt great but they look decent enough.

You can't add IMG tags to a HTML link, son. Besides, what should we be looking at exactly? The figures in the centre of the page are too far to discern. :-?

Half a decade working on this site and it still takes me 10 minutes to get a picture working. Urgh.

Up now.

Rodimus just might have to be my first Revoltech purchase. Can't wait to see better pics.

Nice! A piece of news relating to toys that interests me!

And I am sure we can then expect the inevitable Skywarp and Thundercracker repaints.

Wow, that is cool.. finally... I hope they decide to do Skywarp and Thundercracker, then I could be very happy.. next they should do Hound, Ironhide.. or Soundwave and Shockwave..

ohhh maybe they'll do little but highly posable versions of Rumble and Frenzy... :-?

I got Revoltech Megs, Eva Units 0,1,2,4,5(with the wings), and The Yashima Weapons Set (Shield, and Sniper Rifel for Eva). I want to buy the Valkyrie VF-1's as well, and maybe the Patlabor mechs... :-P

I love em! But I had to repair a broken arm on Eva Unit 1

While I don't know what Forbidden Planet is, my guess would be probably not. Far as I know unfortunately, you need to get these either from Japan or someplace that imports toys from Japan. They are extra cool figures, but are not domestically available.

Hmm, and there I was, thinking that the Convoy would be my last revoltech (and I don't even have him...yet). Guess not.

Hey look at them all tiny in the backround.

Not keen on the spoiler on Hot Rod, either.

I'd make those points too, but that figure (Starscream) would make a great artist's maniquin. I love things like that as drawing aids, and if it poses better than Mega SCF (My fav) then I will love it.
