Our first stop of Toy Fair was the Organic Hobby Booth. Organic Hobby is the company that distributes Revoltech and CM Corps product in the states. Their booth was large and spacious. When other companies seem to be scaling back, organic was moving forward.
Revoltech was out in full force - Organic had a whole wall of Revoltech to show off, including in-package shots of the new Rodimus and Starscream:
Also on display was FRAULEIN REVOLTECH, featuring the new Pocco figure by Shunya Yamashita:
Other new Revoltech on display were BLACK OX
Griffon Aqua Type from Patlabor:
And again, Rodimus and Starscream:
Another Revoltech from Doko Demo Issyo called Suzuki. :
And Fan-favorite Gurren Lagann. This one is the Wonderfest Limited edition, the regular edition will be the one in the states.
REVOLTECH NEWS
We managed to pry a few secrets out of the Revoltech brand manager from Kaiyodo:
- There will be a Macross REGULT battle pod Revoltech!
- There will be both MAX and MIRIYA VF-IJ Revoltech
- There will be a new "name" sculptor coming on board to the Revoltech line in addition to Yamaguchi and Eyewater. He could not say who though
- Revoltech Mini was an experiment to get the line out to other places like convienence stores. If there are any more released, it would have to be of characters with a mass market appeal
- Apparently Hasbro did NOT license the Revoltech Joint from Kaiyodo - they basically just copied it.
In addition to their Kaiyodo goods, Organic had some new items from CM's Corp
Patlabor Brave Gokin Ingram with Reactive Armor
Ingram 1 + 2 OVA Version
Patlabor Hercules Vinyl
CM's Votoms - looks very detailed but kind of small...
Other lines being shown at the Organic Booth
TOP Collection - fixed pose statues
Afro Samurai
Hellsing Trading Figures

7 comments postedConsidering the sculptor of those Macross Gashapon is Kaiyodo's main Revoltech dude, the Regult and Destroid Tomahawk are all but confirmed. I'll bet the Armored VF-1J is inevitable too. I see pics of that Soltic Special that's impossible to get now. If they bring that out here I'll be a happy man.
I hope the Regult either gets an accessory pack like the Evas, or multiple releases for the various types (Scout, Missile, Rocket,) hell, maybe in one box.
Cool stuff. Do we know what stores actually carry the stuff that Organic Hobby distributes? Is it comic stores? Online toy stores?
Thanks for the report.
Josh,
If you had talked to Stephan a little longer you would have learned that Organic Hobby will NOT be releasing Rodimus or Starscream in the US under their label. You can still get it through an importer, but due to licensing issues, these guys won't be offered by OH. Just thought I'd clear that up! They were awesome though their paint jobs made them look like die-cast!
Right - they did mention they won't be available through Organic, but you can get them through your favorite importer.

Hm... seeing their upcoming line... it seems I might join the revolt bandwagon... the macross line is so cool...
Just when I thought I was done collecting the revoltech line, they come out with more cool characters.
I was hoping they would be releasing King Kittan along with Gurren Lagann but I guess we'll be treated to Razengann. Which is fine, just a far less distinctive design.
