Review from hongkong user The gokin ( diecast part) only in chest and foot 😰 And joint part @ volt 2 & volt 4 So they call these "Voltes V DX Soul of Plastic" 🤣 Hmmmmmm... is that necessarily a bad thing? I don't have the DX Combattler but did that have more direct in it? What I've seen with Bandai's use of die-cast is they know where best to place it.

are we sure about this ? i mean in the prototype promo it was loaded with diecast close to Combattler
as you can see, the diecast is in, parts of the head, shoulders, about %80 of Volt Panzer, thighs and almost all of Volt Lander
if i remember correctly Combattler v had the same diecast distribution, so i dont see why they would change things on Voltes since its almost the same design
as always correct me if im wrong

That center spread poster almost look like Voltes is having a showdown with Gaiking (at a quick glance ) I wouldn't take the comments of some HK collectors too seriously. They are generally very critical and tends to be a bit negative on social space. If Bandai showed the diecast distribution before, pretty sure they will stick to the plan. Even Metal Structure Nu has been criticized as too plasticy and not enough metal, regardless the thing is heavy like a brick and all the metal (lots of them) are under the panels.

I doubt thats diecast content also. I have DX Combattler and has diecast in the legs and is one of heaviest SoC or the heaviest. If DX Voltes only diecast in upper torso chest then it will be top heavy. Looks like lower legs is diecast.

Also on what S Gokin has mentioned, there is a preview showing the die cast parts all over I wouldn't worry calling it soul of plastic Voltes, hehe! A-E has shipped my copy via EMS - DHL too expensive, can't wait!

A big pile of goodness like that would never be seen in any local shops in where I live, so sad. Would be surprised to even see 1, let alone a mountain of DXs.

For me, I have to say that Bandai should have stuck with the DX packaging format for Voltes V. Looks like we won't be getting that outer box like we did for DX Combattler. EDIT: I think we might get the outerbox, having a look some of the pics - One outer box per DX Voltes.

Is there anyway to get official electronic copies of instructions for SOC/DX figures from Bandai? I would have this image as desktop wallpaper.
