Welcome to part 2 of our Revoltech Expo report. This will foucus more on the domesticaly popular line such as Hokuto no Ken Revolution and the soon to be released Haruhi and Queensblade lines.

    

The Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) Revolution series is doing well in Japan with many fans of the original manga series that ran over 20 years ago picking them up due to nostaligic factor. The characters that will be released after #007 Raoh were displayed for the first time and some were surprising choices to say the least.

#007 Raoh: The last character of the first batch of seven. Though he may be the main villan of the story as he was not a true figure of evil grew to be one of the most popular characters in the series. Got so popular that a mock funeral was held in his honor when he died in the manga

Release Date: February

The following will be the second batch of characters following the first seven. No exact release date is available but they are all scheduled to be released during or after Spring 2009.

Juza: Also known as Juza of the Clouds he is one of the members of the Nanto Goshasei who are sworn to protect the last Nanto General.

Shuu: The proud blind warrior of the Nanto Hakuroken who in the end sacrifiices himself to save the future generation from Souther.

Souther: The self proclaimed “Holy Emperor” he was destined to rule over all the other Nanto styles He too like Raoh is not a true figure of evil though this is only revealed when he dies atop the pyrimid he built for his mentor.

Falco: The Golden General of the Imperial Capital’s army and the chief rival of Kensiro in the second arc of the story. A honorable man who is held in high regard by his army who will sacrifice themselves to protect him. Forced to serve evil to protect Empress Lui he is the “tragic hero” of the story.

Uighur, the Warden of Dungeon of Cassandra. The cruel giant in viking armor who uses his whip to kill any who dare try to escape from Cassandra.

Of all the characters that will be released Uighur and Shuu are probably the most suprising. Both are essential characters in the story but are more popular among the hard core then the average fan.

It finally looks like Revoltech caught the Haruhi bug. As you can see from their display expect to see alot of Haruhi related releases next year. Starting with the Haruhi figure that will be included in the soon to be released Wii game three Haruhi figures will be released in consecutive months starting from February.

Seperate from the Revotech Haruhi line the Haruhi bust statues that will be included in four magazines were on show with the Oh My Goddess! character item that will also be available with a magazine.

The Queensblade characters will also be making their much awaited debut next year. Called by many the odds on favorite to be the best selling figure line of 2009 it was considered by many “the real main attraction ” of the show.

The Revoltech’s many hobby magazine limited version will be last.

 

Dengeki Hobby will be selling through their December issue “Black Overman” the first original character to be released from the Yamaguchi Revoltech line.

This will be a different version of the already released Revoltech Gurren Lagann Enkido which will be made available in the November issue of “Figure Oh”

This will be all for the Revoltech Expo 09 report. Hope you enjoyed it
