They also have had MS-01 Light of Freedom reissue up for pre-order for 2 years now. Meaning don't believe it.
Is there anything propping him and his weapons on the base here? I wanna display this on a pedestal I have laying around but maybe I won’t if there’s nothing to secure him a little.
Went with TCP due to no taxes and I can use some points I’ve accrued. Waffling on a second - I’ve sold a lot recently to cover some statues and fund a moducase purchase - don’t have as much stuff to liquidate after all of that.
I'm may wait a couple of year's for another company to take what they did and do it for a cheaper price.
Voltron looks to be free standing but the sword is being held up you can see the clear plastic it's sitting on, not sure about the shield
I did it. Couldn’t pass this up. It just looks spectacular and fortunately I have the means. The last one I owned that I sold years ago was the Toynami 20th Anniversary set and I hated having to sell it. Passed on everything since. When this Blitzway thing popped up I had to pull the trigger.
Dunno if it was possible to make a watered down release but if either choice would’ve been up there in price(given how Blitzway’s previous products were priced), I’d much rather see them go all out if it had to be expensive anyways. So I think they made the right choice. If you’re going to pay up anyways, might as well get the best option available. This has quite a bit going for it as it does things that no other Voltron/Golion toy has done before. I don’t think you’ll regret it. After getting the SOC I sold my Trendmasters retooled reissue of the original and decided I didn’t want my Toynami anymore. This Blitzway one has the potential to blow the SOC away.
Just hope the PO lasts long enough on TCP, should be able to make the deposit by Friday. Then maybe throw in a 100 bucks a month or something.
i’m never getting rid of my trendmasters but i understand. i want this but my PS5 was supposed to be my last big purchase this year…. i don’t have display space and i don’t want to spend that much to have it sit in a box.
Yeah I already plan to buy more detolfs since I'm expanding my collections but I'm starting to hit that sweet spot where these last 3 Voltrons I want might be the last hoorah for me, same with TMNT, I already cut back considerably on Lego, ML, DC, GIJoe, like it's just getting to be too much idr the last time I even bought a Transformer.....I need to buy a bigger house.....1st world problems
What led me to that decision was that the SOC was almost as durable as the Trendmasters release(just a few more parts to be more mindful of) and most importantly, more playable to me. I was having fun putting the lions in all kinds of poses that none of my previous Voltron lions could pull off.
I PO'd against my better judgment. At least with BBTS I have faith they'll get theirs in later than January and I can save a bit extra until then.
Wow, that sure changes perspectives on things. Childhood memories are good enough for me (or living vicariously through photos from various collections).

A combining fully articulated Golion Voltron was 1 of the top things I wanted in the 90s and I’m glad we have options to choose from. Back in 92 when Voltron reruns were on the USA channel, your only options were secondhand copies of the 80’s Voltron toys, nothing new until 97-98 when Trendmasters got the Voltron license.
