Hey everybody Sorry to bumb this topic but i had one more question about the soc voltes V. The connecters to the panzer from the frigate, It seems like it's sort of flimsy and the right side of the panzer seems to start coming out of the frigate easily(sorta), I was just wondering is this normal or does this happen when you transform it after a couple times. Any help is appriciated thanks

Yeah I guess it could, after all the connection is soft plastic to metal so the connectors on the Panzer's end might wear down in the long run. But generally it should take a lot of play wear to make it reach that. BTW I don't hold Voltes by the love handles, I usually hold him by the waist.  Gold |

I on the other hand got my GX31 just this March.
Regarding the waist issue, to my opinion it seems that it was purposely designed that way. Instead of giving voltes a solid waist, the design enables the waist area to bend forward. The drawback to this is you will see the waist splitting behind of voltes, but even with this pose, the unit is still stable. Im not sure if this was part of the design or a function made by accident.
Have a few questions regarding Ban Dai QC problem. Voltes left ankle seems to have a loose ball joint compared to the right ankle. And voltes' right shoulder when lifted to the side is some kinda loose. Both parts mentioned won't stay in place unless you balance it perfectly well. Is this the same issue with you GX31s?
Thanks

Clodus, yeah the ankle ball joint tends to be loose on some of the Voltes. I guess Bandai was a bit sloppy at the time Voltes came out. I didn't encounter the shoulder problem though. Gold |

I can give Voltes V a 10 out of 10! I just got mine today, had some paint chip issues while posing and fiddling but nonetheless it's an awesome toy!
VOLTES FIVVEEEEE---AHHH!!!
