Not to get too far off-topic from the GX-71, but with so much fanfare and praise that’s been given to Bandai for meticulously reproducing such a wonderful SoC Voltron, does anyone if know a company – Bandai or otherwise – has given thought to issuing a present-day Soul of Chogokin equivalent of the classic Popy GB-35 Voltron miniature figure? Heck, I’d even love for them to replicate that thing down to the very box art, which was astounding in and of itself.

I'd faint if Bandai grant me F.A. Voltron.

Is it me or did they improve on this a bit from the 2016 release(shoulder locks very easy compared to orignal, some swivels feel alot sturdier)? I know they're the same figure but just wondering if anyone else may notice anything. Also the booklet doesn't have the survey anymore, but you get a full picture of Voltron in the backpage as opposed to have picture of Voltron with survey.

Not negating your experience but on my end they're 1:1 the same. |

And for those curious about eKnight, a response from their team stated:
“At the moment the estimated release date is still 9/30/19. We're hoping to get it sooner as we know other retailers are beginning to receive the item.”

Yea eknight gets theres a month after bbts usually. Usually cheapest price, but gotta wait a little longer. In this case, it didn't matter cause it was $299 also but only cause of the demand. Gx-88 was $319 when I pre-ordered mine which was the cheapest I've seen that listing. Still Eknight is awesome and Definitely recommend them if you can wait a little bit.

We in the same boat. Would be super anxious if I didn’t own one yet but since this is a second one, it’s nice to be charge later rather than sooner. |

As for me I’d rather get charged right now, so that I can spread out costs between this and the GX-88 release. And then of course there’s Christmas right around the corner! |

well, I got both from Eknight and since they seemed to have a two month delay, I don’t anticipate them getting the GX-88 until after the new year.

For those who pre-ordered from Entertainment Earth, I’m being told from a few friends that shipments are starting to go out.
