Wow, that's really expensive chogokin.

Yup that's about $400

I like to know the height.

Do I see outward leg movement on the lions? I really hope so.

Retail price, that isn't too bad... around the same price as KoB was, will be cheaper once the preorder discounts hit.

But... it's not quite perfect is it? It looks good, don't get me wrong but... no lion numbers, missing tech details on the blue lion's head (i actually liked that part the most on the old Toynami!)... black lion is too chunky again... Voltron himself is pretty boxy around the waist and bulbous thighs, maybe a little too cartoon accurate.

Having said all that, i still want it, so it must be doing something right

Is the chrome. Btw kob was 25,000 and under I think.

How tall is the kob one?

Not sure golion ever had numbers
As that was maybe voltron?

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

if the cartoon had numbers, then golion had numbers

Since the name translates to "5 Lions," I think its a pretty safe bet that they had numbers

[drifand]

It might be decals as I see a square area for one of the lions.

Has Bandai done decals for SoC before? I'd take it over nothing but for that price a couple tampos wouldn't kill them!

Someone on Robot Japan changed the photo dimensions:



Looks a lot better, but which one will end up accurate? I do think the original photo is warped at least a little.
Hopefully we see some display pics this week!
