new photo of the articulation im so getting this i wont wait for the review no more lol EDIT thy said on their FB page thats an awesome news guys they are trying to make it perfect and they are listening to our feedbacks Sexyyyyyyy! And I like that double-sword stance, it reminds me of the dynasty-era Wushu swordsmen in the Old Shaw Brothers kung-fu movies! I don't remember seeing GoLion using two swords in the anime, but for the sake of this particular product I think it's a nice touch and a genius idea to differentiate this character from Wep's character. All thumbs Up! ( That kick-pose reminds me of you-know-who, as That manufacturer had also used the very same kick-stance for their photos of the MA-01. I'm only guessing Who this company is- or Was Known As, and if I'm correct, I'm glad they're still in the game and kickin ass with this new item after starting fresh and getting rid of useless former Hype-sters.) That's the way I'd like to see a toy manufacturer operate: Just make it, perfect it, promote it, and sell it. ---------------- By the way, someone asked about an OVA made of him, after the series. I had just remembered, there actually was an OVA made of him... ....do a web-search for " Voltron, Fleet Of Doom" it features a team-up of both Volts against Prince Lotor who himself pilots a Robeast. You can also find it at YouTube. zozo-mag

im so getting this i wont wait for the review no more lol So who are you PO with? TC or MT directly? I gotta say I'm impressed with the articulation considering the dicast content and all. Those must be some really heavy duty ratchet joints! Still I want to see this guy in action before dropping down my money.

Very impressive! Wonder why they blurred the face in one pic and the other took it out. Also great to see their including alternate lion heads for Green and Red. I was worried about accidentally shooting them off like with CMS Jeeg but looks like that won't be a problem! Kudos' MT!

Wow! the last pictures look really good! Not what I would want in a Golion (no hidden lion legs in combined mode), but sure looks great! I wish it was more in the >$200 shipped, like the MP Vehicle Voltron ended up being.

I was worried about accidentally shooting them off like with CMS Jeeg but looks like that won't be a problem! Kudos' MT! Aw HELLANUTS, that GoLion is now lookin more Badass than before! Nice packaging, too- I like that spaced-apart packaging style, similar to the foam tray in which the MA-01 was packed. The Red lion, and the Green lion: Their Primary heads will have articulated jaws in place to hold weapons and poses. Their Alternate lion heads appear to be the Shooter heads. If that is the case, the jaws would be fixed shut so the heads can shoot-- Because if those heads had articulated jaws, that would interfere with-- and add unnecessary weight to-- and work against-- the function of the Shooting. ---and the material would be of a lighter density so those heads can project a good distance, just like a jumbo machinder's firing fist... ...Because, what good is a toy if it only shoots an inch or two in front of it! Even the wife would say so! The firing buttons appear to be those small black square buttons on the backs of those two lions... located center of the shoulder line. Last-but-not-least... the face was blurred and blocked under "Legal Age protection": to protect the true identity of the young twink male model who posed for the sculpting of the face. S_Gokin, and Chogokinsnake, thanks for those awesome pics, respectively! zozo-mag

AWWWWW Nuts...!!! After those ridiculous pics I had to get one.... I'm a sucker for those 180 degree side kicks with die cast madness .... So anyone else thinking the special gimmick could be a light up feature or perhaps one of them nifty voltron keys perhaps? If it really is truly for everyone purchased a Matty version crumbles I might just by a few more ... lol
"Miracle... achem... I mean Madtoys" team thanks for filling our inner voided need for golion in absences of a SOC version from Bandai... and damn you again WEP.

S_Gokin, and Chogokinsnake, thanks for those awesome pics, respectively! zozo-mag You are most welcome bro glad to share this with you guys i will go with MT directly put i will try to delay the purchase till i know how they work and to what address they are going to ship because i don't use my paypal address at all and what type of shipping are they using ? for 50$ i want EMS So I went to check out with MT and they only offer registered airmail which comes to be $46.50 shipped to me. I also went to TC and they don't offer EMS either only SAL ($46.38) and registered Air ($52.40). I see that MT price is kinda lower than TC and no EMS is a bad news I ship everything with EMS to make sure it arrive quick and safe registered airmail will take around 15 days to arrive to me that’s a long time bro and I don’t ship and wont ship with SAL, let’s wait and see maybe they will offer EMS soon OFF TOPIC What I didn’t like is some comments on MadToys FB page people are just been really low down and mega Ignorance they are just insulting them and calling this Golion a plastic figure lol Is it ok to call them people? I think we should downgrade them lol BACK TO TOPIC this thing is turning up very awesomely awesome in my my opinion they mixed the anime looks with the real look This picture got me so bad

After looking into the link that provided by our friend chogokinsnake, i found more impressive pictures but i will post what i think we should talk about more the colors looks great a little more depth to it and it will be rocking, notice how the figure is standing on the blue and the yellow lions chest not the head in here we see this is Golion for sure not hello kitty lol, this pose is really impressive i love it when a company go the extra mile and do the figure perfectly, now all its need is some LEDs here and there and it will be the toy of the year lol even if they didnt put LEDs it will still be great to me from this picture we can see it can handle the pose thanks to the joints and not collapsing on it self

Wow this release is really shaping up! And if they're re-sculpting the face and increasing its size I'm almost sold on this piece. For $250 shipped I might have to throw down for this. I should ask them if they're going to be able to replace any parts in case of QC issues.

I'm growing more impressed... the stances, the swords, that awesome "Schwarzennager-esque" physique ( especially from behind, looking up at it from a low angle)... ...and did you guys see it in that pic where he's posed with his open-mouth face and blazing sword, just like in the anime? Hell Yeah, he's Off Da Hook! zozo-mag

Is it ok to call them people? I think we should downgrade them lol Yeah, I saw that one comment by that foo Robert Rodriguez. Don't worry, I immediately responded to his comment and lectured that boy's ass into oblivion. It's okay to criticize an item if the criticism is done tactfully, things like not liking the colors and/or features, or disagreeing with the suggested retail price... But to just go on Mad Toys' page and say stuff like " F--k your plastic voltron!" with nothing valid to back up that "claim" is downright ghetto, and deserves a good smack in the mouth until all them teeth get knocked out face-down with the foo's grill straight drippin. In the name of the King Of Beasts, I will exact Jungle Justice upon all those infidels and nay-sayers who leave outrageously nasty comments on Mad Toys' page. NO ONE disses a professionally crafted Collectors' Grade product! zozo-mag
