Bandai to unveil Soul of Chogokin VOLTRON at SDCC 2016

Dr Kain · 12-10-2016, 02:02 AM

So do you think this Voltron is going to instantly sell out or should I still be able to get him with my tax return in Feb/March?

Well, the QC on my SoC GoLion was fairly poor. The Blue Lion's head was detached, and outside the plastic the body was wrapped in, so it wasn't done in shipping. All of the other Lions had their heads attached and inside the plastic. The ball joint is tiny and on a hinge so I'm terrified I'm going to break the thing. Additionally, the sticker sheet is missing. I sifted through the little instruction thing hoping it was in there, but no luck. I absolutely adore the figure but the issues kind of mute my enjoyment at the moment. I do have to say, though, the paint apps are gorgeous. There is not a flaw to be found anywhere in those.

Could you check and see if yellow lion's cheeks can open up just like the original toy, please?

Sure. I'll check when I get home from work.

Cool. Out of all the reviews that I've watched on you tube, none of them make mention of this feature. I don't know if it shows it in the instructions either.

This forum won't let me post pictures, but here are two pics showing yellow lion's cheek blasters:

Also it looks like the top of blue lion's head crown pops up too, would you, Thessair, check that out as well, please?

Just got home. Negative on both counts. Sorry for the bad news.

Humph, that's disappointing. You'd think that the the ones who designed the original would remember those little details in their newest version.

I'm still gonna pick one up though. Just very disappointed.

I don't remember the yellow lions head opening up to shoot missiles on the show.

Hmm, now that I think about it, neither do I.

Do you suppose that since it may not be in the anime, that they left out it's inclusion?
