    I personally think it could do with a nice coat of paint on a lot of the parts...especially the lions’ legs and the sword. But, I’m not sure how well the plastic would take paint. I haven’t tried painting mine, but it’s made of a fairly slick plastic that paint may not readily stick to. Still, it is a fun toy as-is that you can play with without worrying about scratches. I dig the look and proportions, and I even like the lights and sounds. Hopefully someone here has some experience painting this guy and can shed some light.

    Ah, so it's that glossy, semi-slippery plastic?

    I use Testors and Mr. Hobby when I paint and those seem to stick well, though admittedly that's mostly model kits I use them for.

    Yeah..glossy and semi-slippery. I’ve been impressed by how well Testors sticks to stuff, though, so it might actually work...can’t guarantee it, though.

    Tits! Is that the Altimites DX near bottom-center? I'd like to have that one, I think. How's the quality?

    I saw the kit but for that price I'm not interested. Maybe if they engineered a double jointed knee.

    I really should invest in a popy voltron, with the amount of dif Voltrons I already have. The only thing is getting the expensive popy pilots to go with them

    This is the first run non-chrome version. I have the chrome version. My feeling is it's worth it but not at that price. With that said, these were all custom made with a tinty production run so it's quite hard to find now. Original price I think was about 50$.

    At this point really, why would anybody want the longer thighs as the Dairugger scales well with the Golion without mods?

    I extend the torso because i did not like the waist proportion. with the tapered waist the longer thighs give it a more balanced look.
