I have a feeling that Bandai was more focused on the old Godaikin toy then anime accuracy in this figure. The Golion anime wasn't that popular in Japan but the actual toy was especially in other parts of the world. It could be a case where the toy was as important/influential or even more so then the cartoon/anime was. I do agree with others though that I am disappointed that they did not give us options for a anime accurate look in combined form. It's a shame we have no way of letting Bandai know unless those who are going to SDCC could constantly hound the Tamashii/bluefin reps so they could pass it along to Bandai Japan.

Congrats to everyone who managed to grab one!! My wife almost slapped the crap out of me when the alarm rang at 2a.m. LOL!!
She collects Fashion Royalty Dolls and never catches them at pre-order prices.

I think those first pics were badly stretched horizontally. Someone screwed up a conversion somewhere.

I still can't believe that we are getting a SoC Golion. Can't wait to see more pictures from SDCC 2016.
I'm still wondering what the GX-70 will be.

I'm still wondering what the GX-70 will be. if this mystery is an intended gimmick by Bandai.. then its working hehe.. i hope GX-70.. if not as huge name as Voltron.. is significant. GX-70 Dairugger XV?.. GX-70 Albegas?

Man the weapons payload for the lions is fantastic! And god damn finally the lion paws have side to side motion. No more stoic looking lion poses! Aggressive lions is where I'm at. After reviewing more of the HQ pics, I'm sold.

Man, the preorders feel like they came out of nowhere (that or I've just been playing too much pokemon go). I did unexpectedly woke up at 5am today, checked the boards and was able to PO at amiami. I would've preferred HLJ but hopefully they'll open up again as I've been thinking if I should try to get a 2nd one to display in lion modes and the other one in combined bot. That's if I can scrounge up the money to pay for 2! lol
