Masterpiece Voltron(pics and mini-review)

[Kurimao]

What about this pose

[Gold]

Hehe, nope, not possible, to do that Voltron would need an extra hinge joint in his left shoulder to move his left arm(Green Lion) that far right and the Green lion head would have to be extra articulated. The current balljoint in the neck can't do this.

just some thoughts:
- the connecting joints from arm to shoulder shoud've been metal-based as its prone to breakage.
- the thighs look somewhat too thin.
- the "V" is too small.
- yellow lion looks more like a wolf than a lion.
- the circular part on the side of the upper thighs should've been chrome-based (binitin pa!)
- the neck/knee/elbow joints should've been double jointed for more increased articulation.
- the twisting thighs and the twisting foot gimmicks for yellow and blue lion are nice.
- the overall size of the limbs (red, green, blue and yellow) are nice as they're big but for the black lion - as the main body should've been a lot bigger in proportion.

Hehe, actually, as far as the thighs and "yellow lion looking like a wolf go" it's what the anime looks like(pretty faithful in my opinion.

If the black lion were any bigger(to go with Voltron's proportion) then it would be the exact same "chubby" as the Godaikin ;D..


Here's another pic(thanks to Chen of Toyboxdx for the idea)

I'm impressed the Voltron can acutally do this pose.. BTW, no photoshop tricks were used in this pic

hey guys. anyone purchase voltron already? how is it? i mean, non-review wise. subjectively, well worth the hefty price tag? lemme know... i'm so torn if i should get it as my christmas gift to myself

[robofetish]

how much did this cost? i agree the wing looks whack. but being mostly metal this thing intrigues me.

[Gold]

Price point at Greattoys Gh is 9500(on Christmas Sale) after the sale(I forgot if it only goes up to Dec25 or 30) the price will be restored to full 9900 SRP.

According to Malvin if you pay via Credit cart(GT Makati only) you have to pay the full 9900 price though..(credit card company charges 5% I think per transaction to GT)

I'm really looking forward to gettign this but im just wondering if there's any way to strengthen those plastic connectors. If there's a great way to reinforce them im getting this for sure. Though I don't really plan to play with it much but the pose im thinking calls for his arms to be outstretched and over time gravity might put too much pressure on the shoddy plastic joints. that's pretty much my only concern
