I just got this figure from Ebay and I must say it is very, very cool. Hmmm, I wonder if JoshB has seen it... ;D Can companies use the actual names of the characters in their bootleg's package? 'Guess so...! Sorry Josh, but I don't like the helicopter blades in Voltron mode. ;D The first thing I thought was "can this thing actually separate in 15 pieces and combine into the Air, Land, and Sea Teams like the giant Matchbox Voltron"? Well, not exactly... Oh man, and I was hoping for so much more after seeing this... Oh, well... what can you expect of a $14 USD figure. Like I said before, it still ROCKS!!! ;D ;D ;D And it comes with the Blazing Sword!!! It is no Revoltech, but it has a little articulation... Spinning Laser Blades!!! Now, what you folks want to know... how big is it??? With Toynami's 9 inch Voltron: With Bandai's MC Model Mazinger Z: With Bandai's SOC GX-01R Mazinger Z: With Bandai's SOC GX-51 Getter Dragon: With Revoltech's Skeleton: So, it stands at 20CM or just 1/8th short of 8 inches. Not bad for the price. The paint application is not bad for such a cheap figure, actually, I would dare say it is pretty damn good. I'm not too sure if the colors are completely anime accurate, or even if it is assembled with the vehicles in the right spot, but then again, we are talking $14 USD here... Ebay dollars to be more precise. There is one thing with the one I opened that bugs me (but I will fix it very soon): The right leg falls off very easily. Other than that, this figure is a winner in my book! ;D If you get a chance to get one, don't pass it up! }D

I must admit that looks pretty good for a bootleg.
Great Grab TMZ! ;D ~B

Oh 1 more thing, just did a search on ebay and found an 8inch diecast bootleg of Dairugger that also combines. It looks pretty good for a bootleg, but the overall quality is lacking.
The fact that its die-cast metal though and forms into the vehicle formations is cool. Too bad that the aerial formation doesn't separate.
I know its policy not to post live auctions so RJers please do your own search on ebay.
Someone needs to buy that one and do a review on it here on RJ! ;D ~B

That's a cool size compared to those other figures, so you'll have lotsa fun playing with and posing him. Awesome score! zozo-Mag

Okay, I decided I'm gonna chop-chop the Dairuggers. I'm gonna add some Revoltech joints to one and modify the other so it can separate into all XV vehicles and also be able to form the Air, Land, and Sea Teams. I may start the project in a couple of weeks - maybe...

Nice buy themazingerz. The Matchbox version does not come with the sword. But correct me if I'm wrong, Dairugger is suppose to be made up of 15 vehicles but on the picture I only saw 10 vehicles?

Yes, the Matchbox version does not come with the sword... and is about twice as tall as this one! This Dairugger doesn't separate into all 15 vehicles either. But I am gonna customize mine to do so. Still, this is a great figure of Dairugger/Voltron anyway... I highly recommend it! }D

Do it Bro! They are not very expensive at all, and they are very good figures too.
