Well, to me, they did kick it up a notch when they made Voltron go on a diet...
I think the Toynami one looks like it stepped right out of the show.
I wonder how they're going to get his weapons in there with all the safetly laws around....
Man, that old sword was brutal! Die cast! Man, you could sharpened that thing into somethin deadly..... er.
The old Golion/Voltron design in old anime never looked consistent anyway, so Toynami's take on it, falls within that inconsitency. It is interesting to see what Toynami has come up for Voltron now - what with all the better articulation and all, but as usual, Toynami's price is killing it imo. Hopefully the end product will be greatly improved, from aesthetic details, to everything a Voltron should have to match the asking price.
Obviously.
If I wanted to beat someone to death, I'd go with the old school one.
But if I want it to look cool, I'll go with the Toynami.
