Looks like we are getting a officially licensed version of the King of Beasts Voltron with some design changes to make it more accurate.   Old version.  |

AWESOME FIND Cheni want to suggest to make this thread sticky so Mad Toys can find it and listen to our feedback about the figure since they already have a membership here back to topic since i own the figure and im sure now they will improve it since they will have time and its a legit & officially licensed figure i see they already rework couple of key things in it, the face is waaay better, the red part on his chest is more accurate, the shield got new colors and the blazing sword is chrome  they also change the name from Golion to Voltron i would like to suggest this following improvement the red and the green lion need a new joints system in the head to make it rotate freely even if they cancel the shooting heads gimmick, they also need a better joints system in the mid section of their body and it will be much better if they paint it white instead of silver (the exact way in the photo Chen posted) |

Congrats madtoys!!
Im going to support you, part of it to rub it on Toynotme.
But also to send a message to WEP and Classic Media, that we will support a product that actually have a soul...not decades old rehashed release for quick money grab!!

I still wish Madtoys would consider making Voltrons face even more screen accurate .
He needs fuller lips.
The black lions head could be little bigger.
Black lions waist could be thicker too..

Dreamtoys Ex Goraion and now this. It's nice to see that WEP does grant license to these companies to and allow for official version. I still believe that if Bandai SoC line want this license, all they have to do is agree to use the name Voltron and credit WEP and Classic Media and make no mention of Toei and the name Golion.
Anyone else notice that it's "COOMING SOON" misprint on the poster?

it says PENDING LICENSOR FINAL APPROVAL on there. is that something to worry about? or is that just legal talk?

Legal talk you see it all the time with companies that need final approval for a likeness or character they don't own, it's the same as seeing "final product may vary from pictured sample" or something.

Great news indeed! So we can have nice things. Go MadToys! Now give him some bicep swivels and get rid of the firing lion heads and add some wrist joints.

I've heard so many great things about this toy, but I held off getting because the look was so off on the 1st version. I am soooo happy they're going legit and giving an us improved version to boot. Thanks for this wonderful news Chen. This just made my day! Gold |

Darn, I've already got the KOB one; wonder if I should sell that and get this licensed version.
Is there a price hike for the licensing?
