Hey guys, Have you seen this review done by an American ( I assume) for collectiondx.com for gx31 Voltes? Man, my nerves seem to crinch when I was watching this with the way he handles his piece. Anyway, this is part 3 of his review. Also, I think the crewzer nape should lock talaga when in vehicle mode, saw this in his first review, may need a liitle force lang siguro to lock. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3DQcjnSvP0 |

I noticed something about V5.
The volt-in sequence (anime) video I've seen does not make the bomber "wings" (the red one) go into the back of Voltes V's shoulders, instead it just sinks in the shoulder but doesn't appear on the back of V5's shoulders.
I know it's hard to pull off for Bandai, but I guess it's one difference of the V5 SOC from the anime V5. But nonetheless it's still a great piece of engineering, I want my Voltes V!!

Gold so how do you prevent Voltes V from rolling when he's in robot form? I mean, don't the wheels roll when he's standing with all the weight? Well, I'm finally home and I finally have the answer to this question. Hope this still is a viable question  Remember what I said about the Lander wheels "shock abosorbers"? Well, it turns out when Voltes' full weight is pressing down on the wheels, the wheels sink. This in turn keeps the bottom plate of the Lander "grounded" as it were. So there's now resistance to the wheels' "freewheeling". BTW Vic, The Frigate is roughly 4.5-5 inches long Gold |
