Soul of Chogokin Voltron

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW FUCK

Still want to see what Legendary Defender has in store with their figures.

And now mattel is died.

Yeah but does it combine

>>5766950
Since Playmates is in charge, I won't be hopeful when it comes to paint.

They do good sculpts, though. And they like doing play features, so a basic set of combining lions is a sure thing.

Kek. A guy in the WonFes thread had SoC Voltron on his list of "things I want to see this WobFes but will not happen". I guess he's crying tears of joy right now.

I'm actually interested in this too.

>SOC
>still doesn't hide the legs in combined mode
I'm sure it's still gonna be the best Golion ever but that's a let down.

>3rd party Optimal Optimus
>Now this

Fuck, my childhood getting appeased to twice before lunch hour. This is fantastic. The only voltron toy I had as a kid was a bootleg panosh place one with ultraman pilots.

Wait, wha ?!

Do you have the pics ?

So... when they actually reveal it, how much will it be? Likely around $300, I think- and we'll only get the Blazing Sword, the lion's blades, and maybe a couple of their leg missile launchers. And if they wanted to be dicks, maybe a separate accessory set with everything else, including the double sword, nunchucks and the mace.

>>5767457
Nah, even GGG wasn't that expensive and Golion won't be as complex.

>dreams come true

I hope it stays little pass around 20,000 Yen, because I do want a Bandai Golion.

I prefer SRC but doubt we will see both.

>>5767488
>Nah, even GGG wasn't that expensive and Golion won't be as complex.

And probably not as big, too. I can see it being the size of other SoCs like Combattler, Voltes or GunBuster.

does it use diecast shit or only quality plastic?

Kek. You sure took your time, anon.

>>5768048
No, SoC's never had metal in it, ever. Completely plastic, that's what Chogokin means, after all. Preorder away safely, anon.

>>5768057
that's good to hear.

I've been avoiding other releases because of that and holding off until this was announced.

Well, fuck this overpriced piece of shit.
I'm ready for proper gokin!

>>5766943
I still haven't seen the new Netflix series. Worth a watch?

>>5768118
It's not perfect but it's still fun. Too many attempts at humor, cliffhanger

>>5768082
No problem. Let us know when you've preordered.

This shit isn't Voltron. What are you some kind of foreigner?

>>5768118
Feels like watching half a season. Also what they need to do seems impossible unless they have 1000 Voltrons, so curious to see how they will handle that. Assuming the series gets to it's end.

>>5768150

I like the original songs way better most of the time, but GoLion/Voltron is one of those rare occurrences when I prefer the dub intro music.

That's because it is.

>>5766943
Did GaoGaiGar and Goldymarg not sell enough? I was sure the next thing we'd get out of the line would be GaoFighGar or Genesic GaoGaiGar.

Although I can't say I'm surprised at Bandai once again hopping on a currently running show to make a quick buck, even if that show isn't even fucking airing in Japan

>>5768879

Shops were trying to get rid of SoC GGG and Goldymarg offering discounts of up to 50-60% for em at one point.

>>5768896
It's true that Goldy didn't sell that well, the SoC Gaogaigar that's been on clearance are from a second run, so GGG sold well enough to warrant a rerelease.

>>5766943
Dammit, and I've had the King of Beast Ver. 2 on preorder.

>>5768966
KOB is still a solid set. Other better QC it'll be interesting to see how much of an improvement the SOC will be.

>>5768879
>>5768896
Nobody bought them because they're so fucking expensive

>>5767101
Visible legs is screen accurate tho

Not really, they magically disappear in the middle of the transformation sequence after they fold and aren't visible after that.

I don't really care about the legs showing, I'm just glad Voltron's lips doesn't look like utter shit like in the show. I fucking despised that faggy mouth even as a kid.

>>5773227
Well fuck me sideways then, I thought they were on the show model.

I wonder if this is just a toy homage then? I'm damn sure the SOC engineers could have easily made the legs hide away.

>>5773237
Perhaps they could have but the marginal increase in aesthetics wasn't worth the potential reduction in articulation?

Maybe they'll be removable, SoCs like that sort of thing.

I wonder if the vintage Go Lion anime is worth watching? I generally prefer to watch the "original" version as opposed to the dub/adaptation (no offence to Voltron fans).

>>5773227
>not wanting dick-sucking lips on your lion robot
wew

>>5766963
Are you not familiar with the Soul of Chogokin line?

>>5768082
Perceiving sarcasm is not your strong suit, is it?

>>5773255
True. They might just be replaceable panels.

>>5773278
Isn't that how SoC usually does it? They have snap on panels, or swappable crests, hands, heads, etc for show accuracy and perfect transformation.

I just watched episode 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ux2aMNzbso&index=1&list=PL8a43NIMO5q-TZsmqVoklqk_-nbcUrFiy

They censored the shit our of it in the US version, this is pretty hardcore for a first episode.

>>5768896
GGG 1st run sold out. It was the 2nd run that was on clearance. the Goldmarg didn't seem like it was design by the same A team as GGG. It did not sold well. The web exclusive Soul of Chogokin Star Gaogaigar Option Set SOLD out and is now over 35000yen.
And this is not even from a current airing show.

That sound is the wailing of a million online retailers stuck with the toynamis.
