Yea. Mainlly him selling "1000% new" when they are actually used! I got a max gokin big-o and not only was the tape sealing it broken? But the figure had the batteries already inside it. So I knew it was used, asked him to refund. This is where is tricky - he kept offering price reductions and taking long time to respond (instead of allowing me to return it) then just started ignoring me after I insisted on my money back.
In this case the golion is a new release so chances are u wont deal with the same issue, but he has shown me he lies. Just be carefule

Watch some of these guys. They are shifty. I bought and SOC from them. "New" was beat up & dusty box from the bottom of a shoe closest. Thankfully, the toy was in excellent shape.

I know in positive and negative transaction threads there are some eBay sellers. I recently stated searching there before I make a purchase. RJ'ers who've had +/- deals with these guys should put them there (if not there already).

Apologies for the late review (life keeps getting in the way. lol. ) Here's a the review for the Dream EX Diecast Series F-01 Goraion. Upon receiving the toy, the first thing I noticed was this: …. Wow. That paint splooch on Blue Lion looks bad. They really should’ve tried to use a nicer image for a box front. Fortunately, the actual toy does not have the paint problem (on mine anyways). Toy requires two LR44 batteries to work. Batteries NOT included. Just slap them into the back of Goraion’s head, no screwdrivers needed to remove the cover. Switch is located at the base of the head. They modified the eyes, instead of being plain clear when the eyes are off, they painted (?) the eyes yellow. This makes the eyes look “active” even when the lights are off but when the lights are on, they now give an orange glow instead of simple yellow like in the promo images. I absolutely love this figure! Despite lacking any ability to separate into individual lions, the toy is solid! Lots of ratchet joints and very good degrees of articulation here. Goraion shield Goraion Sword! There are 3 variations of the sword included. -Forming -Solid -Blazing Faceplates are easily swapped thanks to the magnets on the back of the plates. There are 3 faces that come with the toy, normal, open-mouthed, smirking (yes, happy Goraion!) Display base. There’s a plug-in arm here for the Goraion, it can’t help it hold flying poses or anything though. It just helps hold the Goraion steady, in the event of an earthquake or something, I guess. Beats nothing? Some fun poses with the happy, smirking Goraion. Diecast parts include: -Lower legs -Shoulders -Almost the entire torso The Goraion weighs about 165 Grams and stands a little over 5 inches tall. On a side note, I love how the box is so damn thick. It sure beats most thin cardboards used by Transformers, and the occasional SOC (looks over to DX Mazinger Scrander Set box). Yeah…. Here’s the promotional poster for the figure. Special thanks to a very good friend who got one for me. Gold

Don't know the seller, but I'm sure everything will turn out fine.
You'll LOVE the figure. Gold's review is spot on. Good luck with it and let us know how everything turns out.

I just took this out again yesterday to play with it and AGAIN I'd like to emphasize how utterly awesome and well made this sd gokin is.
If you like sd this is an absolute must have. Great paint, great quality, incredible articulation and lastly, the accessories have such a quality feel! Hard solid plastic, just awesome.
The switchable magnetic faces - awesome! And last but not least that light up gimmick.

You know I did the same thing the other day. I have it on display and decided to switch up the pose. I can't believe how awesome this thing is... I wish they would make the VV. I saw some pictures of their booth and they have it already designed. Based on this one, the VV would come out just as good.

Has there been any info on the VV, besides those teaser posters?

I just looked at these guys fb page, which I think was there only online presence, and it's real quite. What a shame, the sd voltron was a nice figure. I was curious to see what the status of dariugger was.

Can't the angled arm part for the stand be turned around attached at 90 degrees so the long flat part fits under the crotch and the peg fit in the screw hole? Looks like it should but maybe it got changed.

LOL Magengar! All that Gorion needs is a pair of platform shoes.

Oh wow.. I never thought they'd do that. Surprising.
I wonder if that means the Vehicle Voltron will now also be coming via Toynami?

So correct me if I'm wrong, Toynami doesn't ever produce figures in house, and they just re-license other smaller company's creations? If that's true, no wonder their quality is hit or miss and never consistent.
