She is one kick-ass character and that figure looks just as good from the back as the front. ;):DQuote:

Odd, purchase for me. But very very happy, so much so that I couldn't even let it stay in the box (I feel like a kid back in the early 90s playing the Palladium Books' Robotech role playings game...; I'm sure no one knows what I'm talking about).

More details and HK Market Watch here.
It was a real shame that Toynami in their time with Voltron never re-made the Vehicle Force. Toynami did make the Lion Force anniversary set for which I purchased.
As such, I always wanted a Vehicle Force but the quality was so dispersed wiht missing pieces and price was an issue.
However a couple of weeks ago on EBAY I found a pretty good Voltron Vehicle Force.
This Voltron did not have instructions or a box, however on the net, I found some website – "Angelfire" that had the old Voltron and some basic instructions.
As you can see from pictures from EBAY, this was filthy.

If they cleaned the thing there could have been more interest.
I asked the seller about this toy. The story was that this belonged to her brother and it sat in the bedroom closet for years. She advised that the right arm had a scratch when in fact the clip on the hand was broken. As such the hand wont lock in. To fix this, I took the relevant vehicle apart and removed the spring. I put some tape on the hand so that it locked into the vehicle.
I considered complaining, but this was a bargain at $160 given that age and condition. So I just shut up and gave her a good comment. You don’t see that many Voltrons in such good condition.
Anyway it arrived today and I set back cleaning this thing. It took ages. I used water and paper towels.
Here they are all disassembled.

Here is the Vehicle Force Voltron all assembled together.
As you can see the EBAY photos didnt do Voltron justice. A good clean really picked him up.
