Impressive pictures! Now I'm glad I pre-ordered it. }D I am not sure if I am more happy I pre ordered this or that the blob on the last page doesn't show up when I read this thread! Pics look awesome though. I so can not wait.

I am so torn on buying Daltanius too... Just spent so much money on bots lately (YF-29, God Sigma, and a few Jumbos i purchased this weekend)
Any pics of Godsigma's box yet, will it be retro Godaiken style???

Yeah we need more people to come on trips to Frank & Sons... and watch me try to fit Jumbo Machinder into a tiny 370Z Roadster. It's funny. We could also do an anime night, watch like a movie or 5-6 episodes of a TV series!

I am still trying to find a Bazoler to finish my Gaiking collection (because I want to have all of the toys for each of the tattoos on my leg.. Gaiking, Nessar, Skyler, MazingerZ, and Getter Dragon all done, still missing my Bazoler though!)

Just got mine, AmiAmi I think I love you.
And OMG this Buzz should be the benchmark for all die cast robot toys. I can only hope that God Sigma is this good!!

So it does not appear that the feet become the combined robots fists like the illustration posted here. Any idea if we will swap parts or they will somehow hide. At least the feet are not hidden behind the legs on the original toy.

You have to hold it so it's locked to your eyes, then the 3D works fine.

I got my Black 3DS. So far I have to say the 3D stuff is pretty neat. I can see it fine, even with my sh*tty 37 year old sight. Downsides are a lot of the features wont be released till later via a software update.
My friend code is 4124-5015-0136 if anyone else has one and wants to play!

Oh and that Voltron you posted is definitely NOT a good image for a one off tattoo.. In a sleeve it might look better. But for a one off robot, think big bold colors. Thick recognizable line art. I would use the line art that Super 7 used for their Voltron T-shirt.
And yes it does promote the hobby, though most people just ask to see the Transformer on my leg. I get asked for photos all the time at Disneyland. and i have struck up some awesome conversations over the years thanks to a giant Gaiking on my leg. Once it even got my to skip the lines at the airport when the Jetblue rep saw Gaiking, wanted a photo and told me how it was his favorite show growing up in Puerto Rico.
I found out about Frank & Sons Collectable show when a Disney CM saw my tattoo and we chatted for half an hour. He told me about all the toy shops in Southern Cali that morning. It was awesome.

I have a lot of Chogokin on my legs.. like 6 I think now? That said... make sure...
1) Get great artwork. either find some online, draw it yourself, or have someone who is an artist do it for you. Mine are either done by sizzlak from here, original TV art cells, or redrawn by my tattoo artist who also grew up watching Force Five.
2) Find a tattoo artist who knows the material, loves the material, and can do great tattoos. Try to find similar work in his portfolio. Make sure he knows the characters. When I brought the idea to my guy, he was like, NICE< the guys from Force Five, this is going to be awesome. He was excited, his enthusiasm shows in the final piece.
3) Think about placement. Have someone who knows how to lay out a nice looking page decide where it should go. You can't just throw it anywhere, you will hate that in 5 years.
4) Make sure your skin takes color well. I am pale. I never tan Colors pop on my skin.
That said, search tattoo on here and you will see tons of my posts and ink. Always getting more too. And if you want to go to Boston MA for your tattoo I can recommend a great shop.

Each new picture just makes me want this more! It was one of my 3 favorite toys as a kid (the others being a 10" die cast Space Battleship Yamato and Jetfire VF-1).

Bandai may be waiting for teh new TV show too, I am sure it will work in reverse, new content in the US will get over to Japan and drive interest in a SOC Voltron 1 & 3.
