I got mine for USD 204 + 4% paypal fee + HKD 300 (about USD 39) shipping to Indonesia. So, it totals to about USD 251. Is yours the Second Patch (2015 version) with no QC issues? The store offering it (2015 ver.) me for 300 USD + 40 USD shipping. What do you think, guys? $40 for EMS ? my advice for you to get the 2014 ver, why because the bounce sword are really great just make the store check the toy for any QCs and you are good to go My box says copyright 2014. It also came with the bonus swords. However, I'm happy to report that mine is virtually problem free. No paint problems whatsoever. There's a very slight gap on one of the red lion's front leg, and a joint cover cap from green lion's rear foot came off which I super glued back on. This guy is just terrific! The lions are very poseable and can simulate the poses of a real cat. His connection points in Lionbot mode are very solid, and his heavy duty ratchets can hold so many dynamic poses, and that's even before I discovered that he has ankle tilts! Very, very solid first effort from Mad Toys (unless they happen to be Miracle Production, that is, then they have learned their lessons from Dairugger, LOL). I give it a 9.5/10 - The reason it did not get a perfect 10 is because it has one too many ratchet joints - the Golion neck should not have been equipped with such heavy ratchet. The arms could've been designed a little better, it would've been better if the the swivel is placed above the elbow joint instead of under it as it stands. Finally, I would've liked it better if the color of the green lion is more vibrant (sorta like the Toynami Voltron's green). Meanwhile, here are some of the pictures I took of my Lionbot - just don't compare 'em with TJ's pics congratulation man glad yours is QCs free i couldnt agree more with your comments on the figure exactly my feelings about it

Great review, nick!
Questions-
how are you all getting a good grip on the shield? Seems like the handle should have been made more thin.
Why did he come with two sets of red and green lion hands/heads?

Thanks! Interestingly, four toy packages came delivered last week - two were official merchandises and two were third party "bootlegs". Guess which toys excited me more XD

I re-watched Josh's video review - I thought one of the extra fist is a swiveling one, but looks like it's just an extra identical firing fist. Maybe for replacement in case you lose one?
And the shield is held very loose. The handle is too wide.

Can anyone help with these? you need to make sure the green lion mouth close on the handle mine have no problem the two extra heads are more like if they got scratched from the shooting you will have another clean two >>> best reason that come to my mind

And the shield is held very loose. The handle is too wide. Thanks. All I needed. Man, the only thing that's keeping me from giving this a 10 is little stuff like that and bicep swivel... Soooo close to perfect. S_Gokin, I'm glad that you got a good grip on your shield. Mine doesn't ratchet in place to grip it tight.

I've been away for a while, but still here. Greetings to all you new RJ members; and congrats to all of you who have received your kitties. Nice pics, guys! I'm still holding off ordering mine- good thing I waited, cos now I'm reading here that there is a 2.0 version (2015) released already? I'll check MT's site. Any current links where I can order this badass cat? zozo-mag

So, Gr*atT*ysOnline.com is selling the 2nd patch [2015 prod.] for $300 USD, which is way too much! What about Kelv*n L*m ...did anyone here buy from him the KOB and is it really the second patch (w/o QC issues)?

Hey TJ, I can get the lion hand to complete clamp shut while holding the shield, but it's still loose as hell. Apparantly, the middle part of the handle is thinner than the ends.

Leave the shield off then,its not even anime accurate and its very girly anyhow.
