SDFcommander its like went straight out of the cartoons! it is high end! It is the best robot figure of 2016 imo. This is heavy man - torso and legs are full of diecast!
Thanks for the upload! Voltron isn't a fave for me (more of a Robotech/Macross kinda guy), but this is just too special to pass on; and it appears the SOC treatment has served Voltron extremely well. Looking forward to displaying this within my (smallish) 'Super Robot' collection, this'll look great to next Mazinger Z and the like. Thanks again and enjoy!
That's cool, Japan is indeed a dreamland for collectors. Just wondering what you think of the Voltron lion leg connection? do the lions/legs detach gracefully? or is it a bit of struggle?
L.A. November 2019 no issues detaching! very simple and easy to connect and disconnect. there is like a hinge on the back on where you can detach and attach..everything holds perfectly fine
Thank you, that's good to know. I wasn't expecting issues seeing as Bandai clearly gave this their all, but it's always good to hear a fellow collector's confirmation.
Is this the same figure coming out the end of January 2017? I have mine preorder from Amazon. It looks so great with the die cast couldn't pass it up. I always wanted to have the Voltron Lion collection.
Do the forearms swivel in voltron mode? I was hoping to recreate his pose in the anime. I can't wait to get mine from amazon. Congratulations on getting yours
Your even luckier that you didn't get a reissue. The 2nd series seems to be defective with the Black lions Right leg falling off. Anyway I just got mine a week ago after the price drop for 329 + tax and shipping = out to 360 and I can't stop picking him up everyday all day long
Can't wait for you to do the individual lions. Also is he too top heavy? It looks like you had him kinda leaning back. Congratulations on being the first to review.
Heath Day i dont own a kob but on the forums who owned a kob and this one they say that this one is much better..highly recommended bud...looks better in person!
Fantasy Jewels is a KO - I dont own that version but I heard that it has a lot of issues - Figure is too awesome, my holy grail!!!!!! Glad that I was able to get it at SRP during my trip to Japan 2016 - got it 1 day before the release as well.. lol
This would be the definitive voltron to own. Saw some reviews on other Voltrons and they say there is no comparison to this one, from being detailed to the die cast content, definitely, this is the one to get!

AWESOME! That is just BEAUTIFUL! The diecast and chrome just scream high end. Thanks for sharing!

L.A. November 2019 I grew up watching voltron and to be able to purchase it japan it was special! A magnificient figure indeed!

Nice. Can you show the individual lions and transformation? I'm looking forward to getting this. Congrats on getting it early.
batsugun2021 hey bud, will try when I get back home. Its in my suitcase now so wont be able to show it anytime soon.
batsugun2021 hi bud.. just posted a new vid showing the lions..thanks

Ronald Weiss yes it is buddy! I heard that if you order if from the US retailers, the box itself would say Voltron
Teej'o'Mac it is a slipcover and it is gorgeous! Expect a similar result to the SOC Daizyujin/Megazord.

macross1970 can you give me a link of an image so that I can confirm? thanks!
macross1970 yes..it has an arm swivel..you should be able to pose him just like in the anime
Teej'o'Mac thanks for checking. Can't wait for mine

adbier serrano leaning back cause i posed him that way :) so dont worry mate! it holds very nice!
I'm torn between this one and the update Mad Toys/BU King of Beast 2.0....
Heath Day get this one!!! definitely mate..
Doesn't look like the KOB 2.0 has a release date. I'll be picking up a SOC from amazon.They're too pricey on eBay right now.
Heath Day i dont own a kob but on the forums who owned a kob and this one they say that this one is much better..highly recommended bud...looks better in person!
Found that thread on RobotJapan. I pre-ordered the SOC on eKnightMedia. Now the wait begins.
I ended up ordering both.
What’s the difference between Voltron fantasy jewels and Voltron Bandai?? I think the Bandai brand look more fantastic
Fantasy Jewels is a KO - I dont own that version but I heard that it has a lot of issues - Figure is too awesome, my holy grail!!!!!! Glad that I was able to get it at SRP during my trip to Japan 2016 - got it 1 day before the release as well.. lol
Teej'o'Mac how much u got this guy?
the american release of the classic lion set was a joke compared with this
costs about the same though
blvk3 are you referring to the toynami version?
yeah, and also the other one that comes with the pilots, i think that one is sub par too.
