And yet I laugh when people say the market is able to cater for the needs of the consumers without any outside interference.
And politics rant over.
Having watched pixel dans and other's videos on this toy, I am still glad I passed it up. I'd rather spend the same money on an unofficial Devastator...

So I finally got my Black Lion today. and well, despite it's flaws, I love it. I love this thing. I love that it's a massive heavy brightly coloured piece of plastic. I made a little happy noise when i put it all together and pressed the chest piece for the automatic Head forming action. that was AWESOME.
but it does have it's flaws, it feels slightly cheap and it's ridiculously top heavy. (although if this was made of Diecast metal it would weigh a ton and if it fell off your shelf on to your head it would kill you.)
in combined mode the spring loaded gimmick is irritating and i feel that once the gears wears out it will be useless. Oh and the whole massive collect and connect blazing sword NOT being able to light even though that was promised us is more Mattel crap.
And I honestly can't in good conscience recommend it to the casual Mecha fan.
Seriously. spend your money on Super robot Chogokins rather that this. looking back i tink it cost me 500 dollars for it. that's insane.
This is for hardcore fans of Voltron and for people who still love Toys that are Toys for playing with.
I appreciate it as a "What If" sort of toy and think that if 5 year old Tallest unwrapped it on Christmas day in 1986 his head would explode, making the five ugly Voltron lions and their strange dumpy pilots from the 80s look like piles of puke.
So...yeah. I like it. I get why people don't. It's still awesome to have.
