Metal content wise, Between SOC and ET Metal Action would be nice… But Carbotix history says don’t get your hopes TOO high haha Otherwise I’d thUnk 5Prowould have proudly shown off bare naked material proto awhile ago…. please dont tell me they are going Sentinel on us  "just enough" diecast to be able to say yes it have diecast or the ET route (magnetic joints) count as metal lol
since you mentioned it i really want to see how much diecast in it now
We already know its weight, about 2.3kg. That's a lot heavier than both DX Voltes (1.4kg) and DX Combattler (1.6kg) Hell, it's even heavier than larger Metal Structure Nu-Gundam (1.9kg) And when compared to the SOC Voltron, the weight increase will feel just adequate, because when our eyes see things, we see them in 2D image, so the 30% increase in height to SOC will give you an impression of about 60% size increase, which makes the 60% weight increase right on spot.
im not sure if we should consider that weight as a positive point
i have the heavy metal T28 and its weight more than this around 2.5Kg and its a hassle to play with and to pose even before putting it in the display i need to be very careful so i dont pose it wrong or it will stress the whole lower body and thats a non combiner figure, for combiners it will be a least x2 the hassle i remember toynami diecast voltron was super annoying even to stand right the stress on the blue and yellow lions heads is huge and its not as heavy as those two
another point, with this weight it will be displayed alone or it will break the glass in the detolf
for me personally i dont think any high end figure should weight more than 2KG
Judging by the weight, we can be sure that, there'll be plenty of diecasts, that's all. I'm surprised that there's such thing as 'too much diecast' for you, because I thought that's the only things that you really cared BTW, you don't have to worry about it breaking the glass detolf, because unlike the SOC it comes with full scale display stand  |

I did my preorder with tfsource. No deposit was required. Free shipping. $699 plus tax.
This is going to be an epic figure. I don't know how I will make room for him. I'm a little queasy thinking about that price. I love Voltron, though. I know I would regret skipping it. My Voltron shelf is going to shatter!

I don't think anything was as ridiculous as Takara counting the screws as die-cast metal in their Masterpiece figures. |

Anyone else get their preorder cancelled from ShowZStore? Yes. This is why I ordered from supremecollector and BBTS. Showzstore offered pre-orders before Blitzway solicited the product for sale. Which means Showzstore had no guarantee of how many units they could get. So they most likely could not secure enough units to cover the pre-orders they received. |

Because Blitzway asked ShowZ to increase their required deposit amount significantly. I'm wondering if Blitzway is producing just enough quantities to the amount ordered by the stores (plus a number of extras in case of issues) and submitted to their distributors. If that's the case, shouldn't there be a cut off date for the orders?

still i want to see where is this diecast is located
and you thought wrong, diecast is important but its not a high priority for me (unless if its something expensive) what i care about is
Quality
Anime accuracy
Articulation
Diecast
Accessories
Size & Dimensions, how it will fit into my collection
what are you talking about ? the stand with all the accessories attached to it will add more weight on the glass
I don't think anything was as ridiculous as Takara counting the screws as die-cast metal in their Masterpiece figures.
i think ET did the same thing with some of their early products

With a display stand, the weight will be evenly distributed to larger area, so it will be much less likely to break the glass |

I don't think anything was as ridiculous as Takara counting the screws as die-cast metal in their Masterpiece figures. Yeah, I remember that one.... I was pretty miffed. I dont think I bought one MP since. |

i think that depends on the stand, some stands have alot of metal in them, like the EX Gokin Spazer stand, the base of it is just metal so that will add weight, not to mention the space it will take

An email blast from Bluefin just went out stating:
It's possible pre-orders might close on all sites on that date -- not just Bluefin.

Wow...thanks for the heads UP! Very welcome! Let’s do our best to ensure we all get one if we want it, and avoid paying scalper prices later on  |
