It looks exactly like the die-cast Voltron toys from the early 80s. Except this new version has greater range of mobility (the original was limited to to a single axis) and includes the various weapons seen in the series.

My childhood-self would be very envious. Razz

I'm no fan of Voltron, but that figure of Beast King GoLion and the five lions that compose it look beastly awesome! Smile

Oh this is so niiiiiiiice!!! I remember the old one that was released back in the 80's. I hope this one is got the same quality make as that one. Funny thing was that some people used to complain about their old ones getting loose. Yeah, when you're constantly transforming it back and forth that does tend to happen. But it was a solid figure made of die cast metal.

I just wish it wasn't being sold in December. Maybe the Bluefin release will be easier to find later.

This doesn't have anything to do with that American cartoon, it's for the original true GoLion.

Murder, She wrote:

Earlier this month, Tamashii Nations and Bandai released a teaser poster promising an official announcement at Comic-Con International. The convention will take place this weekend, July 21-24.


Guess they're trying to capitalize on the resurgence of Voltron.
GoLion is pretty much forgotten in Japan, but still well-remembered in the West.
