Yeah, the Red Lion's waist was tight. However, the Green Lion's was normal. So I figured they both turned. }D JUST how I figured it out!

Newly adjusted Super Robot display: Out of the box mine had no issues. After a bit of a play, both magnets in the face plates got sucked right off by the other magnet in the black lion's mouth! I super glued them back and it's all good now. Damn strong magnets! And secondly, my red head started to not lock in after firing. I was pretty concerned, but some fiddling with the spring and, well now it won't come out at all! Better in than out... stupid gimmick, would have much preferred wrist articulation. Negativity aside, this has got to be one of the nicest pieces in my collection. The joints are so solid, the paint immaculate (i love the deep glossy black), and the somewhat modernised design and proportions works incredibly well in person. He just looks great! The only changes i would have made apart from wrists, would have been for a slightly more vibrant green, and to include number decals - might have to make my own My Miracle VV is one of the first so has a few issues, but i love it and thought it was about as good as you could hope for - and no doubt the harder piece to engineer with 15 piece. In some regards it's still better, like the shoulder articulation. But overall, KOB shows that VV could have been even better. They go together great as is though, and my wallet is hurting enough, so here's hoping nothing better than either of them comes along in the near future! Love your display! so cool! I see your like me in displaying the Megazord with Voltron,he matches perfect with his animal feet!

Guys I just want to give some though food lOL,I wouldnt put your KOB in split leg pose on display,it WILL put unnecessary stress on the hip joint area,I can just tell as I was posing mine just now,rather put legs in straight up down poe while in long display mide,just my thoughts.

Mine IS perfect! I got it several days ago, but was not going to open it until xmas. However, all these bad QC posts made me nervous. So, I decided to open it and check it out this morning. Perfect in every way! Well, the brown shipping box and the brown MadToys box got wet in one corner pretty bad, but the actual figure box was inside a plastic bag and is perfectly fine! So, here... Great figure indeed! }D I lOVE the Dairugger "lets take a quick Dump" pose! LOL!.. btw wipe those chrome swords when done posing guys as a rule of thumb,I know you must have TMZ.. but just a reminder to others who may not know or realize, oils can kill chrome in long run..just look at every vintage chrome sword!,80% of mine are waxed now which helps tremendously,also turtle wax scratch remover can bring back old swords perfectly! my used Baikanfu swords look brand new after that process!!.. also relook at any chromed limb SOCs ..you may not see fingerprints after play,but when they get a bit of cold air or temp change they show right up as smudges!,I try to wear rubber gloves but every time is just impossible,so just wax and wipe,or def at least wipe..

Indeed! Actually, after doing my display i looked up their 'actual' sizes and they're not that far off scale wise (60m vs 41m) .... SRC just needed to be an inch bigger maybe

Folks who ordered from a certain store i recommended, fear not! This big box full of V just got to me Well the QC gods have favored me on this one and got a flawless sample, at least at first glance. 2 things I noticed, 1 of the paws on the red lion was frozen And I had to use a lot of force to free it and luckily nothing broke. At another point moving the hip ratchet dislodged the yellow lion but it only happened once. Maybe i didnt combine it correctly. Aside from those 2 observations mine is perfect. Forearm swivel on my red lion is tight as hell but it moves, just a little scary. This thing is glorious! I almost want to buy a second copy.... i think Mad Toys has won 3rd Party of the year with this one. BTW this must be what the Masterpiece Voltron looks like through WEP's and Toynami's eyes :lol Now to open Miracle's Voltron... Wish me luck

Yea the stand is really nice, about the only good thing to come out of that 30th set. The KOB sword fits on it but the shield doesnt. I was lucky enough to split the set and only kept the stand without the need to own that crappy set what do you guys mean about FROZEN paws? the small paws on the lions?with the claws part? Yes the paw itself, the lion comes in combined mode. The paw was stuck in that position out of the box and it wouldn't move.

One of the knee ratchets is off, on one knee it can sit straight but not on the other one and one of the bicep ratchets does not work.

I think I'm gonna have to fix the waist joint on my custom VV. It has become very loose. Gotta figure out how to properly fix it... Maybe a strong rachet joint from another figure, or just make it a custom one. }D

Ok for me its like this..V1,V2,V3 blah blah blah,I have a GREAT V1 and a GREATV2,it all depends on luck,paint apps whatever,some are good some arent,I really dont think it got better progressively in versions,teh only REAL better thing i see is a stronger head crest symbol on V3,THATS IT! My V1 is great,love the diecast waist V2 and V3 dont have,as well as locking feet! So it just depends on what you get...STILL they havent totally fixed that knee ratchet,its the mold PERIOD,its luck if you get a good knee or not,versions dont matter.

We should be seeing a new Voltron/Golion figure from where we least expect it in 2015, at least in prototype form. Supposed to be full of gimmicks. That is all <-------- me being very cryptic
Having said that, I hope they get this KOB situation resolved already so we can easily buy it.
BTW Txxy said my parts are being sent but I havent heard much else. Ship date, tracking etc.
