I've been wondering that myself for sometime as well...
Thing is, Revoltech seems to shy away from live-action materials, save for recent kaiju figures. So the chances of a Super Sentai mecha Revoltech happening are slim.
...I would buy Revoltech Super Sentai mecha.

Technically they've only been previewed, but yes, at some point they're going to do figma riders (not to be confused with figma Rider). If I had to speculate, I'd say keep your eye on the S.H. Figuarts line, as they've done a whole lot of Kamen Rider and slowly moving into other tokusatsu-ish stuff. No Ultraman or Sentai stuff, but it's Bandai's figure line, so it's probably just a matter of time (as they've covered most of that stuff in previous figure lines). Though with Booska on his way, I definitely wouldn't be surprised if there were more Tsuburaya kaiju in the works (Pigmon. Make it happen).
GR-2 is an exclusive? Who is it an exclusive for? Or do you know where to get it? It's been a little frustrating trying to find info about these as when you put in "Revoltech Giant Robo or GR-2" it brings up the figures from the animation (which are really nice by the way).
love them as well but i still wanna wait and see as the posable ultraman figures are crappy as hell for their price point, and also there were those hero works action figure series so i'm just gonna wait and see as bandai has recently regressed into anime style figures on their toku products. no problems with the first release but as you saw with recent reviews on the figuarts line is that the proportions are kinda off for me. but aside from that i might purchase one of those pretty cure figuarts figures and kamen rider decade or maybe faiz. figuarts for me is going in to the anime styled route which shook me off as a prospective buyer considering it is evolved from the sochaku henshin line which had good proportions. it just isn't right especially if you have seen the 19 year old hana from kamen rider den-o made into a figuart figure so you can guess that i might be waiting on this side of the fence for those revoltechs to pop out sooner or later.
I can definitely understand your feelings on the new Figuarts. Personally I don't have any, but the proportions on the newer figures, especially the ones without muscles or armor, look pretty wonky (in my own opinion, of course). My response to the Hana figure, as well as the PreCure stuff has generally been, "lolwut".

the sfx series look good, is there by chance that ultraman or sentai mecha will be one of the eventual products?

if i recalled correctly there are figma kamen riders so it might not be out of the question right?

Also, kinda bummed that GR-2 is an exclusive.

The old school GR-2 is apparently a Hobby Japan mail-away
