Japanese Wikipedia entry.
It’s suggested the Revolver joint was named after the handgun and considering Nightow Yasuhiro’s apparent gun fetish in Trigun and Gungrave, it seems likely. The Revoltech packaging colour also denotes the figure type: blue is for real robots, red for super robots, green for humanoids, and orange used when the main line was unified and rebranded as the Yamaguchi Series.
