After the successful releases of the first generation of Revoltech’s figures, Organic Hobby, Inc in conjunction with Kaiyodo proudly introduces its three new products for the U.S. market, “Revoltech Detroit Metal City (or DMC ) – Krauser II – Jagi – Camus.” The concept of “REVOLTECH” is an innovative joint system that allows the figure(s) to demonstrate any kind of dynamic and realistic pose unlike any other PVC action figure. Not only can advanced “figure modelers” demonstrate “cool” and almost real poses for each “REVOLTECH” figure but also the consumers as well. Organic Hobby, Inc in conjunction with Kaiyodo will release every month, two to three new character figures as part of the “REVOLTECH Series.” The following three figures set to be released in July with a SRP of $24.00 are: - Krauser II, (or Sōichi Negishi off stage) is based on a Japanese manga known as " Detroit Metal City " created by Wakasugi Kiminori.
