Shoot, I didn’t know it was a preorder Maher thing either....or that it was going up for pre-order already too.

Just curious. Can the SoC Black Lion can sit and pose like this?

No, the only lions that can pull off that pose are the Yellow and Blue lions from the Toynami Ultimate EX.  And it’s black lion can do a decent sit as well but not as good as the other two.  It’s a great piece even though it’s Toynami.

Actually it gets close. Bandai did their beat to make all the lion be able to sit and have great individual articulation

Making the lions able to sit like dogs was apparently a primary engineering goal, since it is iconic. They didn't say it, but I suspect also because the rest of the engineering is child's play(it isn't THAT diffrent from the original toy).

Those lions always looked more like dogs anyway.

On that note: has anyone ever considered that Voltron's main weakness is most likely a gigantic ball of YARN? :p

Well, we kind of did miss it as it is sold out everywhere. Stupid Bandai pre-order madness. :angry:

As curious as I am about this GX from a toy engineering and execution point of view, and that's the only reason I'd buy a Voltron figure as it holds no nostalgia, or even aesthetic, appeal to me otherwise, I just can't justify its cost.  I can't remember, but was the original release also retailing, at US e-tailers, for $299.99?

yes, the original msrp at US e-tailers were also at $299.99

Ffs. Bandai, you suck. This happened the first time, thought i would get lucky the 2nd time, but... no. 

Who does it benefit not making enough to supply those who want to buy? I guess I'll support KO makers on this one, so disappointing.
