Did my pre-order through eknight media..just needed my PayPal that will be billed when shipped. Did not require a deposit..these guys have been my goto guys since the first soc Golion and everytime I've ordered the process seems to get easier.

I watched the show as a kid. I loved the show but I couldn't tell you what color his legs were in the show as opposed to the toy but I sure could tell you what the toys colors were what was chrome vs black or yellow..My biggest gripe with the Voltrons being put out now is I want one just like the one I bought for 100 bucks at Uncle Don's toy store in Palm Springs. It was the only one he had it sat in the window so you could see the big box as you walked by. I went there every day figuring ways to save to get it. I had no idea it was the only one he had until I bought it and Uncle Don told me it was his only one congratulations. The window of his store seemed empty after that and all I could find were some Lionbot black lions on the shelf and had no idea what they were.
Anyway the black hips and chrome legs,chrome waist are one thing I've been waiting for plus the chrome joints and tails like the popy which I only found out about 20 yrs later. Will they be doing a matchbox or popy style box? Or will that come when they give us what I know I really want is a Popy box with popy style cello with carded functional missile launchers and missiles. Will they ever give us the missiles again. I mean these aren't for kids and I don't plan on putting anything in my mouth that isn't meant for my stomach. If I have to wait for a large scale DX version to have all the bells and whistles I will be a happy camper but if I have to wait for a dx version and all they give us are lights in the eyes and batteries none of us enjoy installing I will quit collecting...lol

gundamit.com/metal-club-musclebear-voltron-beast-king-golion_p3767.htmlMuscle bear really a beast king golion voltron Muscle bear. Tough guy rough amd tough golion. Sorry just having a moment with a goofy name that makes no sense. Anyone know what this is Somewhere it said it was a bootleg of the blitzway but I don't know. So I just watched the video and this thing looks pretty good and the price is great too. I see a lot of differences from blitzway but a lot of similarities. I wonder what amount of metal this has. It says alloy does that mean die-cast or something else usually it indicates aluminum. I thought I saw blitzway selling something like this also recently with all the voltrons coming out lately I can't keep up. When the heck is this movie gonna come out so I can feel I've made it.

So I see multiple voltrons in different modes and different sizes. It appears they are working on a smaller dairugger and golion as well as a much larger DX version. The large one on The stand looks much bigger than the others and quite large from what u can see. Hoping it really is a dx and what I expect from a dx version

The worst image is that broken green lions leg pivot. I'm going to assume from my own experience fixing fantasy jewel red and green lions tails that the piece was broken during disassembly to fix the tail. Tge tail would be easy to fix but that leg piece is trash. I don't know of any good way to fix that where it won't break right off the first time you move the leg.the other issues aren't so bad.

I wouldn't normally post an auction but due to the price of the item its safe to say this is geared toward a specific type of collector. I would be that collector if only my pockets were bottomless pits full of green cotton paper with 1s and zeros on the corners and giant heads centered inside of a strange green psychedelic patterns that somehow have eluded me and my pockets far too long. Oh well maybe some lucky and by lucky I mean stupid rich, person will be able to enjoy this japamart.com/yahoo_auction/item_yahoo_auction.php?itemcode=s750616321

That price is insane for a reissue. They are priced at what the scalpers have them priced at. Maybe they are just preparing us for the huge price tag of the long awaited and sure to arrive later than sooner Bandai DX Tetsujin 28. Every time I see this guy ,mazinger z, my mind wanders toward the end of the alphabet

Well then make them both bigger the size of the original dairugger will be just fine. Focus on the joints or offer a version that can be wrenched on with special voltron tools and workshop. Offer upgraded parts made from different materials like aluminum or forged carbon titanium would be very nice or go the Elon musk/delorean way with stainless steel. That would be better than putting out the same robot every few years with a paint alteration every 3rd or 4th run. Get rid of this habit of using glue on these to seal parts shut. They didn't do that in the 80s and I see only one reason for it which is bad design. OK I'm feeling the affects of the covid isolation.

So now that i have had mine for a few days which I got from eknight media I must say I am impress3d with how solid this figure is and how quickly eknight media got thi shipped out. I was expecting longer because someone posted some calls info on the shipping dates. Ruler to back of hand for doing that btw. As for dairugger it's great it's solid but definitely can be improved as for as far as size and poseablity. The joints won't hold in certain poses that the mp will but they do some amazing other poses which mp couldn't even try like bending 90 degree at the hip backward while standing uprightI can't get it to do a standing big kick which really bumm3d me out but when the do dairugger dx, and they will , they will.get this all perfect can't wani5 for dx Golion and dx dairugger xv can't wait, I may not buy another collectable until then because that really is all I want at this point beside a dx tetsujin

I just watched that last review..someone needs to lay off the Starbucks. I.had to stop watching the second time the flap pooped off them the blade went flying and the plane took off after it which I don't see as any fault of the toy or Bandai but a rather impatient reviewer. Slow down I know it's an soc but that doesn't make it a Barbie doll a

I don't know ,other than for money,why Bandai ever made this with yellow plastic legs on the lion instead of the g9ld chrome. It's the one thing I didn't like about the soc version and makes me a bit mad to see it now with the gold chrome because I never would have bought the first version had this been available but this is how they make money from Vintage toys but come on already are we supposed to sell our old ones or buy a second home just to be able to display all the variants. Why don't they just give us what we want right from the gate. Most people I think agree we want what we had as kids just more articulate heavier and bigger but still have all the traits loved when we were young. I heard such great things about the first issue that I bought 3 of them and paid a premium because I was late to the party and a week later they announce the rerelease. This business tactic has me wanting to sell my collection completely because I just can't keep buying these but everytime a new version is released its like missing the biggest party in high school if I don't buy one and better be at preorder or the keg will be empty . Frustrated jot really but it's a bit annoying

:-)) - I'm sure some other Bandai release related to Voltron will pull me back in. I'm feeling the same and may sell every thing I have and just keep the new Golion and new dairugger but if they come out with a Popy or godaikn style box with weapons and missles or even a matchbox version I would have to pick one up. I've passed on alt of the other releases lately of voltron but the soc is a must and dairugger I am more excited about than Golion. It's colors and complexity is much more impressive than Golion in my opinion and looks like a piece of art when displayed. Absolutely beautiful. I wish it was the size of the original..mayne we will get a dx version of these one day.

I don't know where to begin. I just wrote a novel trying to explain where I'm going with this. Basically I have a very specific collection that I can't bring myself to sell off individually. I have some extremely rare pieces that I can only justify letting go of if the collection is purchased together and kept together as it tells the history of Golion and lionbot from their very beginnings. I have a godaikins collection that I don't have the same feelings toward that I will sell individually but the voltron collection I am a bit retentive about. It's been my baby for 20 yrs been through a lot and the collection was there to make me smile but I really should sell at this time in my life I need to but I need a buyer that is on the same page as me and gets why i feel it needs to stay together and will keep it together. I have some rare pieces that have never been seen before including what may be the very first lionbot vbelt prototype which if I can find a legit documented backstory that backs up this theory then it is my most valuable and to me priceless piece. It is my absolute favorite I have a few more like an actual Popy chrome jointed upside down star from factory but the lionbot is special. These pieces I can't comprehend selling unless the collection sells together and is kept as a sort of museum piece.
Anyway maybe I'm out of my mind or maybe some of you understand and maybe someone understands and is in the market for what I have.if you are let me know
Sorry if this is in the wrong section , just wasn't sure where it fit best
