QUOTE
Revoltech is a portmanteau for "Revolver Technology," in reference to the unique "Revolver Joint" articulation which all of the figures in this particular series utilize. This gives the figures a wide range of motion and stability, allowing for many dynamic and varied poses.

The subject matter for the Revoltech line can be broadly split into four categories—Real Robot, Super Robot, Humanoid and Creature. Thus far, robots and characters from anime, video games, manga, tokusatsu, film and television have been covered.

The Revolver Joint is composed of three pieces, two half spheres whose flat sections provide the friction surface for the articulation, and a cross section pin that locks the whole ensemble into place. Both half-spheres have round cylindrical pegs used to connect the different body parts of any given figure.

QUOTE
Figma (フィグマ) is a Japanese action figure line produced by Max Factory and distributed by Good Smile Company. A large number of the figures are based on bishōjo anime characters, and are available with various accessories, such as exchangeable faces. Occasionally figma figures are created based on other subjects such as characters from the Japanese voice synthesizing software, Vocaloid, from a well-known bullet hell game Touhou, the subject of a popular Japanese internet meme, Billy Herrington, and a figure of Michael Jackson from his "Thriller" music video.

Figma focuses primarily on humanoid figures, and due to the high amount of articulation and small joint sizes, Figmas tend to be fragile.

Rob Bricken, reviewing a Lelouch Figma figurine for Anime News Network, described it as "the perfect marriage of accuracy and poseability". He later described the Figma line in general as "[one] of the most prolific (and reasonably priced) anime toylines around". In 2008, three Figma dolls were among the top ten 'toy and hobby' items sold on Amazon Japan.

The first figma was a special edition Haruhi Suzumiya based on and bundled with the PS2 game, Suzumiya Haruhi no Tomadoi. It was released on January 31, 2008 with the product code SP001. Since then, figmas have been produced in three different formats:

* normal edition with three-digit product codes, such as 001
* special edition with three-digit product codes preceded by SP, such as SP001. These figmas usually come bundled with a video game, manga or DVD
* limited edition with three-digit product codes preceded by EX, such as EX001. These figmas are sold exclusively at events, such as Wonder Festival, a semi-annual event hosted by Kaiyodo.

QUOTE
A new standard in action figures representing the state of the art of Bandai's design technology. Designed to perfectly mimic the range of motion of the human body, the series name is a contraction of the concepts of "Simple Style" and "Heroic Action." Standing roughly 14cm tall, the highly posable SH Figuarts figures are designed to feel like little treasures.

Play Arts[プレイアーツ, Purei Ashi] is the spiritual successor to Bandai's Extra Knights and Extra Soldier line of action figures that made its debut during the Squaresoft and Enix merger with Final Fantasy X-2's Yu-Ri-Pa as forerunners.

At present the Play Arts line is seldomly being issued along with the successor line-up "Play Arts Kai." Supplementary weapon sets "Play Arts Arms" were also released at limited quantities.

Unlike Play Arts Kai, the Play Arts line is yet to include non-Square-Enix franchises.



Feel free to discuss other action figure line from other Japanese company into this thread smile.gif
