Masterpiece Voltron!!! http://www.smallblueplanet.com/content/con...tc%2E%3C%2FA%3E

teh old news.

At least for me it is. I saw this on another site months ago.

You call that a Transformer!!! Voltron is cool, but its got nothing on any Transformer.

is that thing out yet? and does its arms n limbs separate/transform into its lion modes???

says they do in the description. No way anyone would pay a hundred dollars for a non-transforming Voltron.

That thing is crazy ugly though, and I like Voltron.

It looks worse than the original Voltron to me...I realyl dig the original Voltron...but man that one just sucks in the looks dept....

I'd rather have the GoDaiKin version...

De. old news. Me wants, though. I'd pay for that before MP:UM.

Hey URNVS, Voltron I was the GoDaiKin and Voltron III was the lions... what was Voltron II?

Infedel!!!

voltron was better than any pre-predaking gestalt

Although I admit they have no alt mode

Had the orginals sold them, moving on to better bots!

I know this'll sound odd, but I actually prefer the original. This "masterpiece" Voltron looks... strange to me.

I'd rather have that Dynaman myself. At least that's REAL Sentai, and not anime knock-off Sentai.

new to me, bout u?

wow, Toynami actually taking the time to make a quality product rather than rush it out.

so...how much is thing going to end up costing?

I'm waiting for that too, can't wait till we get that in our store. I think the price might be around $149 and i believe it might be out around Sep.

$149?  I'll pass.

So how big is it?

BBTS has had a pre-order for this for over a year At $149.99

I've tried to be patient

I was thinking it would be a statue... but those pics, they've made up my mind.  I MUST have this Masterpiece Voltron.

No matter the price, I'm still buying it. At first I was going to pass it up, but now it has become a must have itm for me.

Is it wrong of me to say, that I like the test-shot white version better than the colored version?

Tazbot.

I hope it comes with lead paint, make it a true 'masterpiece' nod to the originals

I am actually glad it is getting delayed for 2 reasons:

-I can spend some money on BT*
-Toynami will hopefully put out a quality product (we all know about the MPC Robotech issues).

I will get Voltron not matter what the price. 5 lions that combine into one asskicking robot for 150? Done deal.

I have heard some people say this Voltron looks horrible. But they never say if it is in comparion to the blocky original or the cartoon (maybe not anime correct?). I like both the old version and this version, but this new version is like getting a 20th Prime when you already have G1 Prime. 

I might get MP voltron.

Voltron looks like he's been on the South Beach diet for a while.  Good for him!  I have the late 90's re-release on a shelf.  I like the looks of this "MP" Voltron, but I can't see parting with the money for it.

Expect a Masterpiece version of this reply later.

so who will his repaint be?


and I'm only half kidding.

Looks fantastic, and I'm glad they're taking the time to fix this up, but $150.00 would get me so many TFs for my collection, or fix up my computer, etc.

I have one collectible I can afford and I have my life, to open up another section of it's too costly at the moment.

I bet you that its going to be used for robot chicken.

It looks nice...finally, a real MP Voltron.

I won't call it an PM Voltron till all of the lions have necks. Then again, I'm picky.

I have had this guy pre-ordered since last October. That’s almost a year. It's hard to fain interest in him any longer since I have forgotten all about him.

One day I am going to be real surprised when a package comes to my home and I find MP Voltron inside.

I have a growing collection of robot cats so he will go quite nicely along with BW Cheetor, Shadow Panther, Tigerton, Alt. Ravage, Star GaoGaiGar and Masterpiece Dancouga’s feet. Add to that Razorclaw if I ever get the Predaking reissue.

I might consider getting it. I would be a MP Vehicle Voltron though.

I have it on preorder as well.

BTW; if you guys order anything like this or macross, go to valkyrie-exchange. This guy is the bomb! I ordered decals from him, and when the post office lost them, he sent me a NEW set!!! (Talk about customer service!!)It's also the place I rodered MP convoy from.

Bah!  With Toynami's history of shoddy workmanship and poor QC I'm skipping this Voltron (despite Voltron being one of my all-time favorite characters).  Maybe I'll pick one up if the reviews are good.  Been burned once with the VFs already...

I don't know if this has been posted before, But has anyone else pre-ordered MasterPiece Voltron?

BTW, the release date has been pushed back to december, due to retooling on the prototype to improve the product.

I haven't pre-ordered yet, but I will closer to the release date.

I seen in the latest issue of previews that there was a listing for this...

yeah, I pre-ordered mine through my local comic shop

Yeah. they have better pics of it at toynami.com. The only thing that gets me is the face on it, though. Why is it in the cartoon his face was silver with a blue headband, but the toy is silver on most of the lower face, with a blue neck and a red headband? Curiosity.

So do you think we will see masterpiece Voltron this month (schedualed for late October) or will he again be "postponed"?

I don't know if I can wait much longer for this guy. I have been waiting for sooooo long (over a year).

hopefully they will postpone it again as punishment for you liking the yankees
seriously though, when is this guy coming out?  i've been waiting as well.

Oh, that Voltron is a masterpiece of CRAP!
It ain't like that good ol, 80's version sadly

Yankees= best sports team in history

They say he is schedualed for the end of this month (the 26th I believe) but you know we have heard that before .

I really hope he does not get postponed again.



Forgot to add image for those who have not seen him yet



no it's better 

Yeah right

The Masterpiece version is a 100% cartoon accurate version, transforms perfectly, and if I'm not mistaken, it is also die cast, just like the original.  Which 80's version are you saying is better than that... the die cast one that got loose joints on the lion legs so quickly that they wouldn't even stand up in lion mode, or the plastic ones with the pull back and go motors, whose tails on the red and green lions would break off in the black lion so you couldn't combine Voltron at all, or are you talking about the riddiculously abnormal big plastic one that the figures fit into, with the huge cockpits on the lion's backs, and the solid, one piece lion legs that were completely unposeable, so they looked wierd in Voltron mode, and made the lions look like they were on tip toes in lion modes?  Or, perhaps you mean the little rubber one that could be taken apart into the five lions, but none of them transformed at all?  That one was really cool.  Much better than this Masterpiece...   

Isn't he selling for $150 USD or so?  I thought I heard that before.

and what kind of leg articulation does he have?  the elbows look good enough, but the legs look like they may be stuck in that action pose.

Not sure on the articulation... there was a link to a site that had more pics a while back... might help if you could find it.

*too lazy to search*
