Nice... as in, Refrigerator Magnet nice! Duplicate four more faces, and slap some Earth magnets in them, and ya got yerself the full KISS makeup face set! Five, if you include the Ankh-faced dude. lol Swap from normal Closed-mouth face to TMZ's Screaming Doll face, and if this keeps up Boss Borot will be faced with some serious competition... ...don't mind me, I'm just being facetious. zozo-mag

I had a gut feeling they would have to include both face styles for this figure... we've seen GoLion's mouth open in some battle scenes throughout the anime, so then it's cool that the open-mouth expression is included with this set so we can pose it in GoLion's battle stances.
I already forgot how tall this figure will be when it's assembled in full robot mode, probably about 12" inches tall, may 13? If so, it would certainly look good next to the MA-01 V.V. (Dairugger-XV).

Horrible face sculpt, hopefully someone else can make a better one or I might just pull the face of my old Matchbox Voltron, re-paint it and see if I can mod it to fit.

The MA-01 stands at 12.5 inches tall. So then, this Golion would probably come close to scale with the MA-01; similar to how they looked together in that Voltron "Fleet Of Doom" anime movie. zozo-mag

It will be nice to have a black lion that doesn't have VFS. They stated in the comments their shooting for a mid Nov release so not too much longer.

@ magengar : i remember that movie but don't you think the the MA-01 would be much thicker than this slim Golion specially on the waist area @ kamenrider : from what i see the face plates are small it might be easy for you but for me its hard to put small pieces together i cant wait to get it but i will have to wait for CDX review what's taking them so long and speaking of the faces most of the people on their FB page choose the B face paint which is not like the one in the promo picture but its kinda anime accurate if they can mix between the anime accurate and the promo picture on colors and sculpt it will be a great thing

I was just looking at my Toynami Voltron black lion ... the 'human' face looks painted just like the LJN Commander Voltron jumbo! lmao The Toynami has a nice face sculpt, but the paint scheme looks far off from anime accurate. Yep, you can bet there will be tons of custom faces and modifications made once this GoLion figure gets into people's hands; or at least into the hands of those who would take that plunge. zozo-mag

@ magengar : i remember that movie but don't you think the the MA-01 would be much thicker than this slim Golion specially on the waist area That's what I would like to see: the MA-01 in a slightly larger scale than this GoLion figure. I guess it's just how I've been looking at it, the Dairugger-XV being bigger than GoLion... ...I attribute Dairugger's size to all those vehicles which form his robot physique when they're combined. I'm just using my imagination. zozo-mag

You know what i just realized?Even though Golion and Dairugger are not related as animes AT ALL and are years apart,they were still put under the Voltron name in USA and their faces are VERY similar!!what a coincedence!!! This is mT-01 Voltron Dairuggers face ON the Mad Toys voltron,if you have an extra you can remove it easily and stick it right on the Madtoys Voltron!TMZ I sold you an extra try it out if you get this,dying to see if scale fits.Looks ok!

Baron, that's Genius! The Dairugger's face looks perfect for this GoLion figure. Why didn't Mad Toys use it as a sculpt reference! The face sculpt they're using now looks like a plant victim from "Little Shop Of Horrors". zozo-mag

I watched Golion the original 52 episode Japanese show not the 2nd one I just couldn't watch that it was awful from every angle however I remember seeing the crew of Dairugger XV in an episode of Golion so I thought they are related somehow but they are not they just change the name of Dairugger XV to Vehicle Voltron to milk the name and not just Dairugger XV even Albega was going to get a name change but they didn't do that however albegas toys were still released as Voltron II or Gladiator Voltron, I guess because both Golion and Dairugger XV was created by Saburo Yatsude so they have similar faces, I think it was a trend in that time for robots to have black circles around the eyes even Daioms have that lol Please correct me if I’m wrong guys this is what I remember from an article I’ve read long time ago

Dairugger anime is leagues better than Golion too with only a year between.

Honestly I prefer Golion over Dairugger XV I got bored after the 5th episode of Dairugger XV the story the battles and the transformation all wasn't attaching to me, i know Golion and Dairugger XV are different than each other but since they make of Dairugger XV another voltron and maybe Dairugger XV have better art, Golion was fun to watch the transformation the battles and the story was really decent & better than Dairugger XV in my opinion
