Still waiting for mine from Xl-Shop. It is very rare for XL-Shop stuff to be coming in later than Play Asia.

received today, fastest shipment ever from my PA experience. anyway, feel like selling off to fund for Transformers

i head the retail price is RM210, then play-asia is selling higher?

^yes... USD60-70 if i am not mistaken..

i saw fantasy selling for RM250...

it's $69.90 u can use a coupon if u have one. btw, waiting for it to be added into the bargain section

Hi guys, just got mine from local toyshop.

1 word disappointment, the plasticky look really kills
it, but then again for that pricei can't complain too much.

The Built:

I had some tense moments when trying to remove Black lion's
fore feet from their compartments. Warning this part is seriously delicate.
Also the peg connecting the arms is plastic so I dunno how
sturdy it really is.

Oh and the hips joint those joints are rather loose..

but overall this giftset major flaw is the plastic construction, its just
horrible and the finishing is just sad, and those tiny winy lame "wings"
are just wrong


Paintjob:
is just so-so nothing to shout about but abit of bleeding here
and here. Since most parts are cast in coloured plastic.


Articulation:
I think its the toys' strongest point, its head, Arms and Legs are
pretty well articulated. it can pull off a variety of poses!

Accessories:
Shield & Sword, i agree with previous comments. the plastic dull
sword and shield is just disappointing, it cant even scare away dust mites.
best have it repainted to its shining glory.


well you u can look past those flaws it ain't too bad,
this is a pretty nice toy. standing almost the same height
as MP01 its really quite a deal for a 12inch toy.
(Although i think it could be better)

my 2cents

same here but i just cant afford for the diecast masterpiece release... so no choice lah plastic also plastic

is it relly that bad , it sell like hot cake all sold out . RM 210 cheap meh thinking to get 1 for myself

I believe alot of ppl will still get it coz
a.The price
b. Like me always wanted to get a Voltron at some point of their childhood.

so yeah like judge-the said no choice la plastic oso plastic.


ps: judge-the were you from play.com?

the same with me lastime i have alot of voltron throw here and there all roask

oklah i go for itlah but i saw it at XL show very nice leh

i was from play.com but didnt post much there lah. spam more here

yup, the price is still the main factor. if wanna get the masterpiece edition then have to allocate 3 times from the current plastic version price

When I first opened mine, my first impression was "s**t, this thing is made of crap plastic!" and with very cheap packaging to go with it.
But as I fiddled with it more I figured that it is not that bad after all and it looks good in Voltron form. The plastic quality is still lacking for the price though but I do not regret buying it cos it looks great on display.
As for those who plan to get it now, I think most of the shops are already sold out. I could be wrong.

i just got mine for the past few days. overall is not so bad la. masterpiece price is a way far more than this. i agree articulation is very good. i will smile everytime i look at this figure that display on my pc desk

I think its safe to say that the size and the overall look of the toy is what saves it from being labeled a crappy toy.

Form Blazing Sword~!!!! haha

finally i got mine after pre-ordering it from XL.

The thing is now i can put Lion 1's front legs into the compartment after i've taken it out. The lit just won't shut. Any solutions or do i have to just bend the legs in robot mode?
