ZorClone Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) What's the Elite version? Nevermind, found it. Woah, pretty cool looking. And inexpensive @ ~$15. Hmm... Edited January 12, 2017 by ZorClone

All I read was that the US Bluefin versions would come with an extra Voltron sleeve over the main box because this guy's obviously more recognizable in the West as Voltron instead of Golion, maybe I'm confused about what you are referring to. Either way I want mine, he's coming in with the newly re-issued MP Soundwave Asia release with all of the cassettes in one box, I can't wait to get those guys in! Yes, the blue base gives you the option of displaying different nameplates. One for Golion and one for Voltron. I really appreciate that they were thinking of us westerners and gave us that option.
vlenhoff Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Ha, now that i think about it, K-2SO should come with his Gun. I got the Disney Elite version on sale at the Disney store. I got it since it is metal, and a lil' bigger. It should come with his "gift" gun. I am sure they will release it with his gun later on.... maybe battle damaged too.

Retouched the washed out highlight portion of the image (sword). Darken and desaturated the photo a little bit. Changed the background. And claimed that you have a copy. Bah! The only way to make me believe is that if you straighten out the box. You guys even have the same angle. You can't fool me. Hahaha! Rats! And I almost got away with it too! 4 hours ago, no3Ljm said: But kidding aside, congrats guys on the GoLion figure. That's because you watched THE Voltron Cartoon and not THE GoLion Anime. One plus one... plus one... plus one... plus one... Golion!

I have this figure, as well as the C2-B5 from Disney store.. overall impressions: Eh. display is fine, playability suffers due to articulation limitation from being die-cast and the joints. the C2-B5 can seriously be used as a weapon if $hit hit the fan as it is so heavy and dense, you can throw it at someone since it weighs like 3#.

Yep, the appeal is that they are die-cast, look good and are slightly larger than Black Series or SHF but still scale well with all of them in the same display. They have enough articulation to pose in about as many positions as the droids or bulky characters were seen in. I don't recommend them for anyone wanting extremely dynamically posable figures. That's what SHF is for.

abbadon Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Saburo, just cut and paste Lolicon's photo to one of your nice black polycarbonate backgrounds and it should be good to go!

anubis20 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 After scoring the Truforce SDCC Mega Man at Barnes & Noble i had to track down the other 2. I was lucky and threw in low best offers under what i thought i was gonna get them on ebay and surprisingly the seller accepted. Now i finally have all color variants of this amazing figure

Lolicon Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Testing a new backdrop. Like the texture, but it's too small for photgraphing anything larger.

Yup i got the other 2 as well, those were easy to get. These two were a problem since everyone with the gray one wanted $400+ for it.
no3Ljm Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Hauls from last two weeks. Yamato 1/60 VF-1 GBP Armor Set from valiantknight. Thank you sir! These two from YJA. Yamato 1/60 VF-1D and Yamato 1/60 Fan Racer (White) Model Kit. Now I can say I'm done with my Hikaru Valks. All I need now is for Arcadia to reissue his VF-1A in the new Arcadia whites.

I have a white fan racer that I need to build as well. I also got the HDP one but that I will leave it unbuilt because that material sucks to work with.

spanner Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Picked up a 1:18 model of my actual car! The roof was white so I covered it in some black vinyl so it matches my car.

I haven't had much time to fiddle with it, but I like it a lot so far. Just the lions themselves have way more joints and poseability than the old 80s version. I'll combine them together when I have a chance. And no lead paint as far as I know.
barurutor Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 I had the AngelBirds+fanracer set before...split and sold it to MWers though.
General Rasp Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 An awesome delivery for a rainy day at home!
