Hi newbie collector here i love voltes v just want your opinion on which model should I buy? Or buy them both thanks I don't own an SoC Voltes V yet, but I've read enough about both figures, so I'll try to help you decide which one suits your tastes better: GX-31 has anime-accurate paintjob, but some joints are loose and might cause you some problems if you're not careful (think is the ankle and hip joints, don't remember very well). GX-31V has better joints and a working Voltes Bazooka gimmick, sacrifices anime accuracy for a vintage-looking paintjob, and one of the vehicles (the treaded one) does not look show-accurate anymore. Also, good luck finding one for a decent price in the aftermarket That sums it up. There are other differences, but should be very minor.

Only GX-31 can retract his hands into the forearms. Other version sacrifice this for Tank mode which never appear in the Anime.

gx-31v ALSO HAS CHROME.Neither have better hip articulation actually both are the same BUT I have 2 of each and all hips are fine,never understood it but others have hip problems I dont,maybe because I dont constantly transform and play with my toys more than when I first open them.Collectors need to realize these toys are not meant for "KID" play as much as some want them to be..The new version has supposed tighter hips.
By the way there are TONS of reviews and info on this forum about teh differences,just search teh 2 robots there is a HUGE thread on voltes here.

Go for 40th, it's basically the best of all 3 in terms of joints (vastly improved over the 31), accessories from 31V.
Problem is finding a reasonably priced one....
