From what I have seen so far, I am disappointed with the DX Voltex V box design. It looks too busy and cheesy. I wish Bandai has kept the look and feel consistent with the other 3 DX releases. Well, I guess I should be grateful that it does not have marble and lightning like the older SOC boxes.

The box is not busy or cheesy, it speaks right to the hearts of Popy fans like me!

fishandchips.... I didn't mean to offend. I didn't own the Poppy versions and so, I can't relate. Just evaluating the box design from a former graphic designer's eye.

Yep Japanese vintage graphics. My favorite are Takatoku Anime with mecha artwork.

I think Amazon is sold out now Wow, Amazon usually have pre-orders for high end items like these for longer periods of time. Maybe Amazon didn't have too many units to offer this time... |

dude must not be familiar with this bot. The artwork is beautiful and what a lot of us have been waiting for and begging for. I can only hope they do a chrome jointed golion im 2 versions bandai godaikin version and popy box art and styro.

I actually wish they would do an outer sleeve for the box - a la Golion / Voltron for the US market. They can have the Godaikin style sleeve to match the US/international Popy versions.

Going by the recent R versions so far, I think Bandai will not disappoint and will do exactly that. Gimme!!! |

Yep Japanese vintage graphics. My favorite are Takatoku Anime with mecha artwork. It's my only (minor) nitpick with other manufacturers like Pose+, Sentinel, etc. Their box art, or rather lack of artwork, sucks. The recent Legioss ETA box is great though! |

Manage to score a preorder at amazon how good are they on shipping this items Don't mean to scare you, but Amazon US can be one of the worst on shipping packaging, with little to no stuffing. They box $300 SOCs as if it cost $13. Expect a messed up box, and consider very lucky if you don't. |

You might even get package with shipping label on chogokin box. I assume if you pay for gift packaging then it might be packed nicely. 😂
I would rather buy the item from bbts or some other online toy store then amazon in regards to high price items. I’ll buy cheap stuff like Marvel Legends on amazon. I bought one of their exclusive box sets and all Amazon did was put a label on it! 😂

Reminds me, one time I ordered a SHF figure from Amazon, and it somehow got combined with my monthly cat litter delivery. Needless to say that SHF box was smashed flat by the 20 lb cat litter  So I got a full refund on the Iron Man figure after I emailed the pics but yeah, the workers at Amazon need to work fast so they just pack it and ship it, and let CS deal with it later if there are problems. |

My Daltanious R arrived from Amazon JP yesterday with the two top corners crushed in like an accordion. Getting a replacement from them is really easy but what a waste of one perfectly awesome Daltanious toy. An item can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars and they still won't care, it's all simply disposable product to them. |
