Then comes along the announcement for the new Voltron by Mattel, I was very excited like most other people, till I saw it in person at NY Comic Con, I couldn't have been more disappointed.

Bigger is better right? not always, it's almost comical how large these lions are, and that would have been awesome had it been loaded up with details, but, it has too many clean surfaces, and really look like a children's toy.

Now thanks to your review, I find out the lack of bicep swivel, which is a such obvious necessity, is left out. Lack of articulation in the legs due to gimmick, less than stellar pilot figure, I mean, I think the little Human Alliance figures from TFs has more articulation in its limbs. I can go on...

It is just way too many reasons to justify the purchase. I will continue to hold out hope for a Bandai Soul of Chogokin version.
