So weird that Daltaneous still isn’t available. Both versions looked great in the reviews from last year.
At least Daimos is finally upon us. If HLJ ever gets around to shipping mine. They used to be so prompt.

They used to be so prompt. already got mine. i guess it depends on region. They must have made changes based on region then. For the last 15 years HLJ would ship my items within hours after making a payment. Lately they wait 3-4 days before shipping regardless of if I use DHL, EMS or whatever. I’m patient and it’s fine, it’s just something I’ve noticed because it’s out of the ordinary. |

thats odd, for me if they are busy they ship the next day they never take more than that

dont believe anything you read
unless they provide official links
right now there is a talk about Combattler FA getting delayed till April or even May, but so far i didnt find any official source that support this idea
however i wish its true these days any delay is welcome |

Hi guys, just a couple questions about Mini Action Voltes V  1. Do you feel that the Volt Crewzer neck/ball joint is too tight for its own good? Not to mention the arm of the joint itself is soooo thin. 2. Is it safe to apply a bit of liquid soap on the ball joint and socket to loosen it? Any negative effects to the plastic? Just got it today, I know, I know, I'm super late for the party  It's because I waited for my supplier to get it back in stock. You will not believe how much they are selling these for the past months, some go for for almost US$80, lolz. |

hey man, and dont worry its not a rule that you must get stuff as early as they get release
for the Volt Cruiser just be sure to place it right so it wont hit the Volt Panzer and it will become like %40 better, but thats it you cant do anything about
i dont recommend missing with the figure so much since its mostly plastic and you mind end up with a revoltech kind of loosens
$80  that 3x the original price, we keep hitting new lows with these greedy people,
if any one still looking there is a reissue for both Combattler V and Voltes V dont pay more than $30 for them because they dont worth more than that

I think they retail for around $40-45 in the US. Shipped from Japan is close to almost $40. |

Thanks for the tip S_Gokin, yeah, don't want it to turn into a floppy mess Regarding the inflated price, I just think that some people today are convincing themselves that scalping is a legit form of business. I mean making a few bucks is okay to help offset the cost of getting your own figure, but to mark it up 300% is just downright low. Fans today think that pop culture stuff is worth more than "gold" or sumthin... Maybe if the figure is like 10 years old, 3x mark-up is acceptable. But come on, the manufacturer is still producing them as we speak Gone are the days of helping out a fellow collector obtain a piece that's missing from their collection. They somehow think that charging exorbitant amounts IS helping out. |

Dont use liquid soap....its alright to be a bit tight because theyre new eventually they will come loose after some playing...shameless plug here's my mini review on Mini Series Voltes V please mind the Filipino language.... |

BTW i already had the cahnce to open Mini Series Daimos. Its not that bad as bad as the MS deformed Daimos. Although the parts dont align much on tranzer truck mode plus the head is a teeny weeny tiny for the scale but in robot mode its ok. The transformation is not the greatest the transformation in the SD mini Daimos is far much better. Its plasticky but still its highly poseable & fully articulated. Still a good inexpensive alternative to the legendary heavy metal chogokins.
shameless plug my review on the SD Daimos....
