Hope it's legit! But it looks more believable than the Grendizer hoax a while back.

really praying it will come to fruition. as a child, daltanias was my companion toy, never was without it. even brought it when spending vacation.

First prototype photos of Daltanious!












No price or release date yet but there's definitely going to be some optional(?) parts swapping there, especially on the helmet horns.



Thanks to Dead man over at Robotjapan for the images.

Updated image of the lion thanks to Gt3ian over at Robotjapan.







Looks like Daltanias' waist be diecast for sure, along with the lion's shoulder joints and maybe toes? Hope the leg joints on the lion are sturdy.

Take note of the shoulder cover panels in pic 3 (8-10). Plus in pic 10 we see the "non-transforming" bigger, proportional head. It's also rumored that the Lion's legs will be removable?


Funfact Daltanious was originally meant to be Voltron, the producers screwed up by ordering the "one with the lion in it" without being specific and Toei sent over Go Lion instead and the rest is history.

that mistake was a blessing in disguise. 5 lions is better than 1 & nothing can beat Princess Allura

I'll say, the female character in Daltanious is practically useless, she's just a friend of the team and doesn't really do much in the show except babysit the comedy relief brats.
