    Someone has taken a stack of close up photos of the display here. Christmas seems so far away

    YouTube review.

    Don't like that guy.

    But that Voltron is looking mighty fine! The lions legs are on ball joints so they have outward movement!! And they can sit. I'm pumped.

    I didn't watch the transformation because I want to see how they do it myself but it seems pretty solid.

    Matt alt is a well known vintage Japanese toy collector, my brother knows him well. Unfortunately he is paid not to bash the toy. So it is a bias review.

    One thing was the hand lions tails are recommended to be removed.
    A bit of a downer actually. Bandai says don't do it even if can.

    Of course it's a bias review. If there was even a whiff of him bagging it they wouldn't have given it to him.

    Despite that, it still looks great. Glad I have one preordered.

    Sadly I am very against bias reviews it sets the wrong expectations when you get the toy. I know of such reviewer who just talks about the plus side and brainwashed you in buying it.

    Not sure he even touched the madtoys version as anyone here will compare it against soc.

    Jebus the soc power rangers is so expensive and I don't even feel as excited as this piece here.

    No apparently amiami sells it higher than what Voltron was and so were other stores.

    Same retail price, but yeah for some reason the stores are charging more, 1500Y more at Amiami according my Voltron preorder. I went through that Rakuten checkout for Megazord so quick i didn't even notice (the price, or evidently which store i was actually buying it from )

    Good thing i did though, one day after showing up, and now anywhere that still has stock is charging whatever they want.

    Can't say I'm liking the Playmates Legendary Defender release.

    Maybe if it was $50...
