The only weird thing I see about this figure is the two "Beast Sabres".......... I've never seen Golion use two swords, not even those sabres. zozo-mag Neither did Vehicle Voltron but then we got it with 2 or 3 swords.

I knew that, but unless I am missing something written in Japanese, Mad Toys is not calling this particular figure Golion. They are calling it The King of Beasts. Funny, I have seen other Golion bootleg figures called that same name before... }D Its probably could be because this is a Japan based company and not a Hong Kong one which means the legal system might be a little more resilient then in Hong Kong.

I see. It is a Japanese company then. Well, if it turns out decent looking, I may even break down and get one... maybe! }D

It has so many discrepancies... AND THE @#$(*&^%$ LIONS' LEGS ARE STILL SHOWING WHEN COMBINED! But it has potential. At least it does not have a starving Defender of the Universe Toynami Voltron sculpt. }D

Done deal. I've canceled my 30th Anniversary Voltron order and pre-ordered this thing through LCM. Obviously not anime accurate, but I absolutely prefer this version over the birthing hips of the Toynami. Fingers crossed on this not being another MP VV headache...

Well, there is only one Lion Voltron action figure that is "anime accurate", the plastic Mattel Blazing Sword Voltron. All the rest of the Lion Voltron figures, including this King of Beasts, are just modernized renditions of the old vintage Golion toy. So, with that said, it is clear that this King of Beasts looks way better that the Toynami's Master Piece renditions. }D

I like this here specimen... its engineering totally screams in my face. If there ever was a time that I would do without the "Anime-correct" thing, it would be for This item right here, for its intense engineering. And this one's face... I like this Golion's face much better than the face on the Toynami figure. This face, look at its eyes and surrounding areas in the face... it looks SO Japanese! That's how a Japanese humanoid giant robot with a 'human' face should look, like a young hero Japanese warrior! It could be polka-dotted rainbow Fruit Loops King Of Beasts--- --if its functionality, engineering, and craftsmanship blow me away then I'm game. zozo-mag

What's funny is much like VV we seem to be the only ones talking about it. I looked through toysdaily and nothing. I hope tony will pick him up as I've never dealt with nor heard of LCM til now. I'm also not putting down any money for nothing again. I think we all learned that lesson la- Done deal. I've canceled my 30th Anniversary Voltron order and pre-ordered this thing through LCM. Obviously not anime accurate, but I absolutely prefer this version over the birthing hips of the Toynami. Fingers crossed on this not being another MP VV headache...

Besides the original post from Faisaijin with the photo of the box, and the listing on LCM, there doesn't seem to be any mention of this anywhere else on the web. The only reason I am even tempted to pre-order one of these is it looks like this thing is done and ready to go into production. But I haven't pulled the trigger yet. nolesoldier is brave...either he will be without his money for two years, or he will be the first to receive one of these...lol.

...that's actually really clever of them to avoid getting under...ummm....Crap, I can't think of a witty, yet insulting anagram for the people who made that "Dub"....
still...I'm packing away $250 for when this hits shelves, whether it's on Amazon or Ebay or an online store that won't charge royalties for shipping...

I've dealt with LCM before and he is legit. He sells alot of 3rd party Saint Seiya stuff which i have bought plenty of during the last few years. I have been shopping with him since before he even had a site and all transactions were done by email, now that was nerve-racking in the beginning but the guy is legit. Im just not pre-ordering until we are closer to the date and we have more info, the VV fiasco now has me paranoid with these new companies.

"King Of Beasts" comes as a translation from the original Japanese title of the Goraion series. The following are turansureishunzu of the title... Beast King GoLion (百獣王ゴライオン, Hyakujū-Ō Goraion, King of the Beasts GoLion)c'est le wiki...... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoLion.....call the robot whatever folks wish. I just don't want weppie to notice this discussion or else they just might get all nazi on Madtoys' case about this item. zozo-mag Are you getting this toy Magengar just curious.

Depending how things go along with this figure and as more info becomes available, I might get this Flaming sword wielding King of Beasts as the Evil Lion Voltron. Just imagine pitting this thing against Toynami's Lion Volton. Blazing sword vs Flaming sword. Who will win this epic battle? (My money goes to the robot with the Rocket Punch. ).

That's understandable. October is a long ways away and I'm sure there will be changes. I have my eye on this but I'm not jumping on any pre-order till I see way more of it.
