judging on Bandai's quality in some figures, i rather wait for reviews

Is the plastic different from the Blitzway? It looks like the plastic is cheaper...
from what i saw its the exact same thing
same weight, same height same everything
not sure if its a one case or its all like that but i saw a review where the reviewer said they improved some of the joints but one of those joints gave up no clicks anymore
overall i think its a very cool deal from 700 to almost 200 is just a strong prove that the 5pro was waaaaay overpriced

I was originally looking forward to this figure. I'm not a huge fan of Legendary Defender, but I do like it enough to want it in my collection. Even if Pose+ or Action Toys made one for $650-$700, I'd still be on the fence. But at that price point for a Sentinel version? That's just not happening for me.
im telling you man, i miss the days when $450 could get you a DX, these days some companies are asking x3 the amount that they should ask
any figure above $500 is questionable for me
He is right about that, legendary defender voltron is slimmer (blitzway has better sculpt and closer proportions). But as I said, no one will make this guy in this scale so it is more a take it or leave it...
you mean 30cm ?
according to some sources VLD is almost 100M tall while the OG is around 60M
for me personally i try my best not to care about scales since its not accurate in most of the lines but i understand for some its a key factor for the purchase

articulation seems to be top notch on this one (look at the pictures). Agree with the fact that this one is really pricey... I expected it to be around 500usd (knowing sentinel). 700usd is really over that price. I don't agree sentinel has always be high end, thats what sets them apart from the rest. Also, lately sentinel releases has way more die cast in the right places (since the release of shin getter, look at their shin getter dragon and especially their Gurren Lagann, which by the way is the best GL out there). Anyway, we have already have this discussion before, I don't want to drag the argument, just given the rest of the guys here another point of view.
there is no argument, we had a wonderful chat way back and it was very informative so dont worry lol
my issue with this other than the price which we all agree its a way more than they usually ask, correct me if im wrong, this is more expensive than SRX ?
the sculpt, the figure look a tiny bit chubby
the paint looks very dull especially if you compare it to Shin Getter Dragon
some missing details on the lions
as for GL its varies from person to person for me the best GL is the CCS, and i would like to see Bandai's take on it
im a sentinel riobot fanboy who says theyre defo high end but this price is insane at the very least, this shouldve then had ALL every single weapon and effect shown for voltron in the show like the mega thrusters, shoulder cannon, burning sword, eye lasers and blast effect parts for the 2 hands and energy beam even with all that 500-600 would've been more reasonable
still way to much man
we are not talking about a complex combiner, voltron is an easy one, of course there is R&D but it wont justify that price
i think either the license for Voltron went up or Sentinel decided to boost their already boosted prices

I think this is a totally honest review Just wondering, how come other companies botched up SOC Voltron K.O. but managed to pull this one off..? Afraid of big bad Bandai maybe...?
thanks for sharing this clip
this might be a good choice for those who dont want to pay the full $700 but not with the new Jap version
the Jap version of the 5pro is fair price for the figure

From AmiAmi: "Over the last few months, ship out times have been delayed due to a prolonged period of time with new orders exceeding our ship out capacity as well as due to the recent relocation of our logistic center. It may take up to 3 to 5 weeks after payment is confirmed for AIR/Surface orders to be shipped, and it may unfortunately increase further. It may take up to 2- 3 weeks after payment is confirmed for EMS orders to be shipped. It may take up to 1 week to 2 weeks after payment is confirmed for DHL orders to be shipped."
thanks for sharing bro
i think they picked an awful time to relocate their logistic center

The Pose+ YouTube channel posted a video of Baldios today! Wow! This looks really good! Totally superior to the CMS version. Perhaps this really might be arriving by the end of the year?
thanks for sharing
man and i thought Baxingar is complex, this one is even complex its so complex that i think i should pass on it lol

i think whatever they are smoking have lunacy as side of effect, there is no way in hell that this figure worth $700
first, Voltron is an easy combiner its not tricky and it doesn't need ton of engineering
second knowing Riobot's recipe it wont be diecast heavy or high end by any means
to be fair and according to some report the Blitzway LD will be the same as the OG Voltron, which means LEDs, ton of diecast, weight, sculpt and paint but even with those features i still think $700 is way to much for any figure to be honest
pass for me

ok I have the anniversary one and will be getting black too. lppks cool and it is toku stuff. I'm still missing two SOC from my list: daioha and zambot 3 (waiting for reissues). may add daltanias to that list.
skip on everything and get Daltanious not the R version tho since it have some QC issues but get the regular release
the figure was so good it encouraged me to watch the anime and guess what it made me love it even more
if only Pose + would make one

I think the color is not a deal breaker for me. Besides, boss robo is supposed to be lively and comical character. In that sense, the color shade suits it.
hmmm im not sure man, i mean the robot was built in a junkyard using junk
dont get me wrong i think the paint apps on the 5pro are really lovely but its way too good for its own good lol

This is what I was referring to, yes. Pics of Getter 1 and Black Getter were posted in the old 5Pro Getter 1 thread which showed them standing on sculped bases like this one. Black Getter's had parts of destroyed Getter Dragons and Getter 1 was standing on dead invaders. (Whoever set up that display probably wasn't familiar with the OVA...) Unfortunately, Getter 1 didn't come with neither of them and preorder pics for Black Getter show that it won't come with one either.
yesssss i remember now, the destroyed Getter parts around black Getter was the cue for me
but those are different man it was more like a diorama than a stand, the one with Shin Getter included a metal rod for the figure
same with Mazinkaiser they included a destroyed Ankoku Daishogun so i think it will be the same case with Shin Getter

Wow this looks really good. Dare I say that this may look better than the Fewture Getter Dragon repaint figure? Is that sacrilegious? Please don’t kick me out if the forums for saying this haha. It’s a definite buy for me. I hope they release a getter Liger and Poseidon later down the road.
yea you will get stoned for sure man
joking aside, i think its fine, we like different thing
im not sure if they will do the other getters since getter 1 always get the lion share of the sales

They displayed their Getter 1 and Black Getter on similar stands before (minus the arm). Getter 1 didn't come with one. So it's most likely a show prop.
im not sure if we are talking about the same point
what i meant was the bottom of the stand you can see the destroyed invaders, im not sure if they used it with Black Getter or Getter 1

I see what you're saying.
of course this is my opinion i understand some collectors might get it regardless

It seems to scale pretty well with the DX Mazingers, in my opinion:
i agree with you bro
but the paint is the main issue here, in the photo you shared you can see boss borot paint is much more vivid that both of the king arts and the sky x
and comparing to the DX SOC its the same issue
see how the 5pro reflect the light directly while the DX managed to absorb it before reflecting it ?
thats my take on this, but regardless the figure is decent release overall, i would wait till i get the SOC then decide if i ending up loving boss enough to grab this one

Mo show is great...it's only defect is that is out of scale with Everything else. There aren't many zeon units (I got MC kshatriya and regret not getting metal heart blue destiny 2).
i agree with you, i even put in along with the other robots that doesnt scale with everything else indeed
when i saw Moshow Kampfer my jaw dropped so hard and when i compared it to Bandai's i felt like theirs is a KO not Moshow lol
I didn't even know the Moshow one existed until I checked local resellers for the Metal Build yesterday. Now I am tempted to get it too!
i highly recommend it man its simple jaw dropping, a wow figure by every meaning
the figure structure is crazy good you can shake the heck out of it and it will still hold the pose not to mention the crazy heft it got
the sculpt is really cool and evil looking
tons and tons of accessories + a cool LED set for the thrusters around his body that can be controlled via remote (sold as a separate optional parts)
the articulation the gimmick and the paint are also superb
