Given the price of this new version of Voltes, I'm going to have to pass on this unless there is a fire sale later down the track.
I CBF looking up ebay but what are the after market prices for GX-31 & GX-31V (if anyone has been recently looking). Cheers.

All the new Voltes looks to be is GX31V without the stickers and white numbers etc..same colors. Damn, I was hoping that it would be scaled a little bit taller on par with God Sigma, God Marz, Daltanious, Daioja etc. Just hoping they fix the floppy hip joints. Oh well, I'm still buying 3 Voltes V sets. For the sheer love of Voltes V and what he means to my Filipino heritage.

Nope.....31V came to a sale late 2008....i was just too slow to react but the lowest price i saw was $134 @ Angolz....they still have the listed price here: GX31V @ Angolz

I've made a PO for 2 pcs. here in PH. I'm thinking to buy at least 3pcs before but since I will keep the 1pc at MISB/MIB. maybe, 2 pcs. will do.(for now) still, hoping that the orig. GX31V will go down at least 10-15k here in PH. but I doubt it.

Hi all
Based on the photos - it has the GX31 antennaes for Volt Frigate and Lander.
GX31V items are the Bomber arms for the better-scaled Voltes Bazooka

Ok has no one noticed yet that the red parts seem to be dark red metallic? Its very noticeable in the vehicle shot and his chest crest.I wonder if its photo enhancing like the new daitarn was or if they are dark red metallic?
Also this isnt actually GX-31V without stickers as the feet are from GX-31 yes because of antennaes but also the clear red lower front shields,the 31V ones were clear but not red.So feet are from 31.actually all theships have the blue windshields like 31 did.The only 31V crossover is the extended legs on V-3.So looks like 31 highlights with fixes from 31V

Good eyes Baron, it does seem to be metallic red..
Oh man, I hope that with the Lander being from the 31, the ankles aren't going to have the old stability issue that plagued the 31.

One thing I didn't like about 31v was the elongated track legs on the panzer. I wish they kept the one from 31 or found a way to shrink it on vehicle mode just to keep it show accurate. I also would like to have more articulation with the head. I know it's pretty tough with the rest of the jet hanging on the back but if they're gonna charge more I think it would be a reasonable request.

I wish the head would move without the rear of the jet moving,or does it? i remember its all one moving piece,dont feel liek checking.Lazy..hahaha even though 4 Voltes are displayed 4 feet from me..

im dissapointed in this, all that waiting for what? a recolor sheesh..., and whats with the pegs on the side? Only hope told any of us otherwise,we all knew it was just gonna be a recolor,it was only talk and hope,talk and hope.The pegs Ive always said were silly,not many of us use those damn yellow bands,and at the cost of unsightly pegs? Its nice Bandai is releasing these for new collectors,but really its just a cheap way out for them,for those of us who have all these its just a chore to pick them up with new colors,nothing exciting.At least make everyone happy and add at least a new accessory,or metal gashapon,SOMETHING!

does it mean that we're not yet sure if bandai will used the "gx31v improvements" for the new voltes specifically in ankle/hip joints? even we can see in the pics that they have use gx31's color/style, there is no assurance that the base for the "mechanism used" is from gx31v itself.
I thought that once they(bandai) fixed a problem in their toys, they will definitely used it in their reissues.
