I don't know this miss daisy but she scares me. Sounds like my wife.Instead of all plastic arms how about one of these companies makes a joint tha actually works. It seems like it is impossible to do. Maybe some sort of joint using tensioning bands or some sort of locking mechanism. Man I want to design a toy just to reinvent the way these transform and articulate. Either way when is this gonna get into my hand. Im gonna preorder now. after seeing these in color its safe to say this shouldn't be delayed too long. What a difference between this thread and the last thread involving the one we dont speak of, also known as The Guy That Blows ....Voltron....like a trumpet we all remember the pic. was it all the delays and bs that kept that thread going. The once in a while check in to say its almost done. I kind miss that. Damn it wull someone screw someone over so we can get some dramatic threading. What really went on that it took so long to see the VV in stores and this one seems to have just been announced and its already being shown painted. Was this already being produced while MP was doing VV. I fully believe this is a MP product and must have been in the works well before we received our vehicle voltron. conspiracy where are you??? i need some drama!!! MP ws in Hong KOng Mad Toys was in Japan but now they are in Hong Kong labels and boxes very similar aha it is them. Or did we already establish this..Drama guys Im gonna preorder. As a matter of fact im gonna get three or 4 just like I did before so we have something to discuss and if the price drops which I have been assured cannnot happen I will have loads of fun on here like last year..LOL..

NOOOOOOOOO! Not another Ordeal thread! Anything but That! lol Gotta admit it was indeed a fun rollercoaster ride. Joints: I'm highly impressed with the ratchet joins in my Cybertron Starscream figure, and if anyone of you folks have this figure you know how big and bulky he is. His joints are ratchet LOUD, and they lock into position! ...it would be nice to see that joint principle applied to these new modern large figures. zozo-mag

I agree with magenger strong joints make a great figure for some reason my Toynami 30th anniversary voltron can’t hold the blazing sword no matter what, but the 25th anniversary can easily do that For me I will wait until some well knowing stores get it I can’t risk preordering it through an unknowing site

My 25th cant hold anything up or can my godmars. The VV seems to do ok but could be improved. Definitely hoping for solid joints on this guy

Definitely hoping for solid joints on this guy you know crpdiablos some of the 25th anniversary specially the metallic ones not all the figures were done greatly some can’t hold the sword and with some the joint are way tight that you can’t even move the arms, I was lucky mine was good the only complains I have is the black lion legs paint got scratches easily But I wasn’t lucky with the 30th anniversary the blue lion wont attached to the black lion leg, the red lion articulation is not as the green lion it won’t even look the same, I tried to wake the joints to make it at least look right but nothing every time I look at it its look like the red lion is taller than the green lion giving Golion a really weird look and to make it worst it won’t hold the blazing sword but it could be just mine I don’t know For me the 25th anniversary Golion is much better than the 30th anniversary it can do a lot more poses than the 30th and it isn’t collapsing under its own weight Let’s hope this Golion will change the game because so far its look amazing and anime accurate

I only own the 25th but the lions being different sizes is strange for sure.Hang onto it as it may be a rarity one day. I wonder how that could happen. Maybe they have different sets of molds and got mixed upi witch box to put it in.
Every time I see a post on this thread i get happy. Can't wait. Ive been waiting 30 years for this guy to be done properly and i don't care if the first batch needs improving I want it no matter what..I hope they do some special edition version like a Black version. Im gonna do a black VV. I'm gonna paint it with a lamborghini pearl metallic black and maybe some red or orange..silver, just not sure what will look best until I draw it out, then ill do a Golion if I like the VV in black. I may even do a vintage stylye paint and sticker setup on the golion getting the right parts chromed if necessary as well

i didn't include any words in my last post because the photos got misplaced and couldn't upload all of it but what i must say the yellow lion looks really amazing the sculpt and the tricky paint to hide the upper legs of the lions just keep growing in my eyes, i hope they release some photos for the black lion soon with some of his weapon

question, the joints on the legs and feets of the blue and yellow lion are darker grey, are those suppose to be die-cast area as well or is it just a design look sort of speak?
i mean, i don't mind the joints colors but the feets makes them look like they have some kind of shoes on, ironically winter is approaching so how convenient...XD

The weapon ears are freaking bad on the yellow. I can't draw my attention away from that area too long. This thing is a too cool

I'm not feeling the painted areas above the legs. Makes it look like short sleeves and biker shorts. I wish it would be silver all the way up.

Wow, this guy is looking bad ass. I really like the lines/detail in the mold, gives it a great real robot look.

Im still on the fence with this one,put it this way if SOC put one out a day after this was released Id sell it FAST.Ask yourself..."am I buying this because its all there is?"....for me the answer would be yes,but my vinyl Mattel one is still saving the day from Robeasts in my collection.
