Kaiyodo has officially pulled back the curtain on its latest masterpiece: the Amazing Yamaguchi Deadshot figure. Known for their unparalleled articulation and stylized designs, the Amazing Yamaguchi line is a favorite among collectors who want their shelves to look like a living comic book page.
UPDATE – All new official images have been revealed for this figure. It is expected to go up for pre-order May 15th!
A New Target for the Amazing Yamaguchi Line
The newly released teaser image showcases Floyd Lawton, better known as Deadshot, in a pose that perfectly captures his reputation as the world’s deadliest marksman. This Amazing Yamaguchi Deadshot figure appears to be heavily inspired by his classic comic book aesthetic, blended with the tactical, high-tech flair that Kaiyodo is famous for.
In the preview, we see Deadshot equipped with his signature wrist-mounted gauntlet guns, his primary tools of the trade. The metallic silver finish on his iconic mask and armor plating contrasts sharply against the deep crimson of his suit, highlighting the incredible level of detail fans have come to expect from the Revoltech series.
Precision Engineering and Articulation
While specific technical details are still under wraps, we can draw plenty of excitement from the “Amazing Yamaguchi” branding. This line is celebrated for utilizing the Revoltech joint system, which allows for extreme, dynamic posing that other manufacturers often struggle to replicate.
Given Deadshot’s status as a master assassin, this figure will likely feature:
- Extreme Poseability: Multiple points of articulation to recreate sniping stances, mid-air combat, and tactical reloading.
- Signature Weaponry: In the teaser, Lawton is seen wielding a large rifle with a suppressor, but the Amazing Yamaguchi Deadshot figure will likely include a variety of interchangeable hands and perhaps even effect parts to simulate gunfire.
- High-Tech Suit Details: The image confirms the inclusion of his targeting eyepiece, a crucial element for a character who “never misses”.
Excitement Abounds!
Deadshot has seen various iterations across movies and games, but there is something special about seeing him join the Revoltech ranks. Following the success of previous releases like the Deathstroke Ver. 1.5, Kaiyodo continues to expand the “villain” roster of the DC Universe. For fans of the Suicide Squad or Batman’s rogues’ gallery, this is a must-have addition.
Whether you want Deadshot perched on a rooftop or in the heat of a firefight with the Justice League, this figure is being built to handle it.
Release Details and What’s Next
As of now, Kaiyodo has simply tagged the image with “Coming Soon.” Based on previous release cycles for figures like the Batman Beyond or the updated Deathstroke, we can likely expect pre-orders to go live in the coming months, with a potential release date landing in late 2026 or early 2027.
It is surprising that they release this image the way they have. Typically the first images are of the prototypes. As you can see from the image above, this one is missing lots articulation cuts. It makes me wonder how far along this figure is in production.
