Voltron to me is all about nostalgia anyway.
Amen.
I could really care less about nostalgia.
The appeal of the 80's to me is their workmanship. The precision. The perfection of the item. The flawlessness of the mechanics. That's what the Chunky Munky and the original Golion had over the newer toys today. Don't get me wrong. I love the 1:48 and I'm not a strong critic of the Alpha... but I never opened a toy back in the 80's and worried about instant breakage, messy paint, unplayability, missing parts or whatever it was we worry about now. You took it out of the box and you played with it... If that's what nostalgia is, then I guess I can't f'n get over it.
To me there's still toys that continue that tradition. SOCs, BTs and MP Prime are a couple... it's too bad these lines don't mean as much to me as Macross, but it's good to know that there's still people making good toys... personally I think Yamato will get there, it's Toynami I'm worried about.
awww... man... here comes Js and his defective Walmart Prime....
