I initially thought exactly as you since I thought it was 8 inches and thought sentinel were out of their f**king minds again with the pricing but after seeing that he is taller than SOC which was originally 300, and with more complex detailing, joints and overall design, I think 400 is fair, no?
no way man $400 is way to much even tho this figure is good looking

to be honest with you man it looks really really good, the paint the articulation and the gimmicks are very good
but for $370 not sure if its the right choice to buy it now, i might pick up one later on

they are celebrating the chogokin line 50th anniversary so yes, I guess this will be the 1st of many POPY releases...
they did the same thing way back with the Godmars, GodSigma and Daltanious
what those three have in common ? other than the popy touches ?
they all had QC with Mars been the most loaded
so im not interested in this at all lol
Nobody should be surprised about this. We all knew this was coming. Dairugger will be next. And yet, 26 years of Soul of Chogokin and still not 1 Albegas.
highly agree with you, i think we will have a better chance with the AC version than the SOC man not even a kit for Albegas

those shorts are not accurate, but let me guess they are paying tribute to the old poppy
instead of giving us an anime color or black version they give us this
even tho we are getting showered by Voltron's none is accurate and they all looks the same

That's Singapore Dollar. If you convert it the amount is around USD 156.
fair price but also fair warring the joints will get loose with time, the stupid jet will keep falling, and the paint is without a protective coat
other than that i like the gimmicks the sculpt and the over all proportions

this is perfect for me but who will they include with Venus A ? there is a venus and great mazinger SOC pack... maybe they will do a kakumei shinkai great mazinger with venus for the series 50th anniversary next year...
yes i remember it they also did one for Mazinger z and Aphrodite, but i only need Venus A, as i have ton of Great Mazinger's i really dont need any more

Man... I really do like some of the design elements for this new grendizer. It was modernized without going the usual route of just excessively spamming random mechanical details everywhere like infinitism, for example. However, that figure honestly looks awful. What the f**k are those proportions. It's so lanky. It definitely doesn't look that thin and long in the posters
to be honest with you i like the infinitism more than this design
like you said the proportions are waaay off also the spazer looks like Hayabusa from machine Hayabusa anime
alot of wrongs in here sadly

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

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
