It'd be cool if Kaiyodo revisited Virtual On in Revoltech form. The crapload of accessories the Laevatein came with totally reminded me of the old One Man Rescue Apharmd from a while back. I'd like to see a Fraulein Nono from Diebuster too. Noo, not the potbelly one. (it's cool, but not the one I'm referring to) Tetsujin-28 GO. The '80s version! ;D Haha, that's what I get for not reading closer .

I'm all for a Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger, so that I can at least complete the Mazinger Trio in one toyline. And maybe throw in that Grendizer dude people seem to like so much. There's a ton of Getters already, and I'd be game for more, only if it'll get more incarnations of Getter 3 out there. Poor dude gets no love, I swear... Gundam stuff would be cool, but I highly doubt it'd happen, since there's the Mobile Suit in Action and Extended lines. (And personally, I feel that if you don't put the thing together, it just doesn't seem like a Gundam figure.) I'm surprised there isn't a Jeeg figure yet, and that they haven't repainted Starscream into Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Sunstorm. And speaking of Transformers, I'd like to see some Japan-only characters made, like Star Saber and Deathsaurus/Dezaras/Whatever. I'd also be game for SRW OG stuff. A Revoltech Alt Eisen would make me a very happy Wingus.

I am dying to see the Mazinger Trio: Grendizer, Great Mazinger and Mazinger Z. And aren't we forgetting the Plawres Sanshiro, I think they deserve some revoltech treatment too.

I was interested in the max factory guyver figures too. Are they nice figures? And are they actually worth the price or just rare? I got quite a few of those Guyvers. Its hard to say whether they worth it or not, as they are pretty unique, but also on the pricey side (some of the big figures can cost as much as a low end SOC). They feel more clean & more refined than SIC (though SIC are more creative in sculpt & accessories), mostly on the paint job with airbrush shading on some, and their joints in general are tight enough. None of mine came floppy. But not many of them stands well (the bottom of the feet are also organic shaped, not flat). Good that they all come with a stand. And the bigger figures sometimes have a gimmick or two, like an opening canon on chest or belly. I am glad I bought some when they first came out. But if the prices are sky high now, then you probably don't want to pay the aftermarket prices. Yep, easily the most expensive figures in my collection. I spent quite a while looking for Murakami and ended up paying an unhealthy amount on what is some very nicely painted plastic. I sort of "needed" to have it if you know what I mean. There's actually a couple on ebay starting at 100 dollars.... That's not too bad. Guyver III ( the cool black bio-armor ) weighs in at 180 (!) dollars. Some of the other characters, the Zoaloards and beasts are much easier and cheaper to come by but are prone to breakage in my experience.

Since Max Factory never got around to doing Archanfel (or Archangel), I really wish somebody would make him and Revoltech might be the last hope.

Here's my most wanted [revoltech] list...which no doubt I'll be adding to within the next 10 minutes... Super Robots- Mazinger Z - Great Mazinger - UFO Robo Grendizer - Ultraman - Koutetsushin Jeeg - Voltron - Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV - Genesis Climber Mospeada - Six God Combination Godmars - ChoRyuJin (GaoGaiGar) - Big VolFogg (GaoGaiGar) - Weltall (Xenogers) - Erde Kaiser (Xenosaga) - Anubis (Zone of Enders) - Gespenst Mk-II Custom Weissritter (SRW: OG) - Gespenst Mk-II Alteisen (SRW: OG) - Tekkaman Blade ...I'll probably have more than a few Transformers to note later when I get a little more time.

Honestly, if they went with a similar business plan like they've done for Gurren Lagann, they could easily do the same with GaoGaiGar figures, using pack-ins to add onto GaoGaiGar. Example... GaoGaiGar w/ Broken Magnum, Protect Shade, Hell and Heaven hands, various hands and Zonder Core. EnRyu w/ Pencil Launcher, Melting Rifle, Melting Gun, Chest Warmer flame attachment. HyoRyu w/ Pencil Launcher, Freezing Rifle, Freezing Gun, Chest Thriller flame attachment. ChoRyuJin w/ Eraser head, various hands, Dividing Driver. Volfogg w/ Silver Moon x 2, Silver Cross, Jet Wrapper. Guneagle/Gundober. Big Volfogg w/ Silver Moon x 2, Silver Cross, Murasame Sword, Gatling Driver. And on and on... You get the idea.

There are some really great ideas in here so far!
I couldn't agree more on Big O and Big Duo, and I'd like to add Big Fau to the list...always liked him more than Duo. I'm super excited for the Max Gokin Big O, whenever it finally comes out.
The Z.O.E. robots would be cool too...I always get Z.O.E. vibes from the Griffon, but maybe it's just me.
Xenogears had fantastic mech designs, and I'd love to see them all get Revoltech'd eventually, especially the various stages of Fei's Gear.
More Transformers would be cool too, but I second the lack of Pat Lee influence. No thanks. Wasn't there a false rumor going around about Soundwave and Grimlock a while ago?
And OMG, Interstella 5555! That was such an amazing piece of work. I have to say, though, I think I'd rather see the Crescendolls Figma'd. Ditto with Trigun, but there are some OK figures out there already. As far as human figures go, Figma just has a better "feel." Fraulein is good, but it feels a little...cold. They're improving, but the heads/necks in particular need work still.
For Final Fantasy, the in-house Play Arts line is pretty cool and good quality, you should check it out if you haven't. I'm hoping they'll expand it to more than just FFVII, VIII, X, XII, and KH...Square-Enix has a huge pool of characters...a compilation line with, say, Fei, Elly (Xenogears), Serge, Kid (Chrono Cross), Crono, and Magus (Chrono Trigger) would be super-awesome. I'd not only buy them all, but I'd be excited to give away my money ;D

If they did any other Transformer's in another artists' style I want to the Fug's WW Prime and Megatron.

coldiron, agreed. Those are really solid designs, and the Titanium line didn't quite do them justice. Have you seen the new WW Grimlock and Prowl Titanium figures? I think they're Toys R Us exclusives.
I can't remember if it's been mentioned already, but I'd love to see a Gekigangar III Revo. I found out about Nadesico after it had been around for a while, was there ever really any merchandise beyond some model kits?

Still, I'd love to get Cloud with Fenrir Motorcycle or Cloud with the Hardy Daytona Motorcycle loose joints or not... those bikes look so awesome.

Cedar, I haven't had any issues with the joints being loose at all. Most of the plastic used on the figures is softer than what you'll find on a Revoltech, and the joints of course don't ratchet. So they won't "lock" into a pose like a Revoltech, but the Play Arts line has no trouble holding a pose. In my experience, the Play Arts joints are a little tighter than Figma. That said, though, you do have to be mindful of the softer plastic - I broke the wrist of KHII Sora when trying to rotate it too forcefully. This wasn't a fault of the figure, though. I've got a couple of FF VII and VIII figures here with me at college, I can shoot a quick gallery if you'd like. Both the regular and AC Cloud are highly recommended! Sadly, I bought both before the motorcycle versions came out stateside. Alas.

Thanks for the information Cyrano, I appreciate it a lot, man! My pet peeve is having figures take head first dives off my toy shelf.
Photoshoot would be great! Maybe start a new thread tho!

Btw how about Jeeg?
I think jeeg is the most suitable Mecha for revo. Well Jeeg joint part is kinda round, which it'll make a perfect match with revo joint.

Good point about Jeeg... who's that humanoid looking robot with the karate gi? That may be a good revo as well.

I saw someone mentioned Anime ones earlier that I would also love to see... So a second vote for Akira, Trigun, and Ghost in the Shell.
But I also would like to see:
Rurouni Kenshin RahXephon (lots of opportunities here!)
