Toynami 30th Anniversary Voltron

[drifand]

I am from the older generation of collecting.
The bandai chogokin series have discarded this gimmick long ago.
Hence this is like a more than 3/4 part modernised toy and you have a retro part for the wrong reasons. I have so many popy classics and they are solid fist not a movable lion jaw in this case.

The second fist should had allow for the modern age. Heck if it just rotate and not shoot would have made it a very posable robot.

That's my main and only complain about the toy. Yes I still want it as I think toyami isn't interested to up their game or let bandai win.

I do realise it is similar to masterpiece grimlock so it will be a more or less slight compromise on posing.

Good NEWS everyone!

The King of Beasts DOES have an arm swivel which can be used as a wrist swivel.

I was putting away The King of Beasts back into his box (we are moving) when I was saying to myself, "if he doesn't have wrists, then I wish he arm would at least move sideways", and I was pretending to move his arm sideways when it moved. I was all like IT MOVED! So he DOES have an arm swivel, awesome! Made my day. Now I dont have to modify him!

I guess they forgot to add it in the manual for some reason, or maybe they didnt even know themselves.

To do this, grab both sides of the lion arm. One hand on the back, the other on the torso and twist. It will be stiff at first, like you're going to break it. You'll hear a *SNAP* (most likely the paint) and it will flow freely.
I suggest doing this with the arm DETACHED from the main body.

Some pictures as proof.






If this has already be discovered then never mind. If not, then you're welcome!

Thank you.

I was already thinking about that but I do not have the toy in hand so couldn't check.

One thing though, they could have done firing fist but allowed a 90degree insert into the launch mechanism which allowed the head to be facing in another direction.

Still waiting on TFI.....

Really hope money well spent for this one, looking at reviews they said toyami was no where in comparison.

Toynami is a turd in comparison, but then it was designed with a lower budget in mind.

The elbow joints there aren't as great as a wrist joint (yes I did know about them and surprised more people didn't). I still would've preferred the wrist joint, for pointing that sword over a rocket punch.

Still don't understand the two heads yet....
