Bro, your toys, you bought without unwrap? what good is a toy for ?
Anyway respect la, you can actually maintain your toys up to this level.

Thanks.. any other vintage collectors here?

Anyone know where can I get Voltron Masterpiece with a good price?

I wonder is this thread still active. Anyway does anyone know where to get Voltron Model FullSet? Thanks

still available or not? i want..

i think he sold that already, if you read the thread

haiz it reminds me of Godmars and Transformer 2nd Gen figures.

lol.. i am just collecting models .. from gundam to cars.. now looking for some macross, robotech and voltran .. will increase my collection soon. Damn not a cheap hobby .

i remember i use to have those in my childhoods and i use to pretend to be mechanics and dismantle them. fortunately i succeeded dismantling them from parts to parts but i dont know where to begin to fix them back.

I got mine from e-bay international...pricey but worth every penny

saw this selling at RM330 only in ebay

Never owned the vintage version, but ive recently acquired the Toynami Masterpiece Voltron (die cast). the one pre-order in PlayAsia is the same mold, only all plastic









Based on the MPC version, i'd say articulation is TOP NOTCH! he can do virtually every sword handling pose the cartoon version did from what ive gathered prior to buying the MPC diecast, here are my views:

The Good:
1. Slimmer, anime accurate Voltron
2. VERY articulated, the most articulated Voltron so far.
3. Die cast weight
4. Very stable standing pose.
5. BEAUTIFUL paint app!

The Neutral:
1. die cast robot mode legs are heavy, if you lift up Voltron in robot mode, his feet will clank. but to be expected
2. no gimmicks for individual lions (as in the blades, the missile launchers, etc)

The Bad:
1. Flimsy wings especially in robot mode.
2. its more of a display item, due to the diecast weight and paint tends to chip on diecast surface.
3. seriously, not for play and constant assemble/disassemblement.
4. some plastic connection pegs (arm lions) look kinda worrisome, but so far it really is tight and durable.
5. Expensive!

The upcoming plastic version should be a GREAT item for play, because it uses the same mold as MPC, but no diecast

Also in the run is Toynami Voltron's Display Base, with the key gimmick and all the blades for the individual lions! the base is made for both the MPC and the upcoming plastic Voltron!

Conclusion:
Toynami's Voltron mold (the MPC diecast or the new plastic one) is REALLY ahead in terms of articulation. the individual lions look sleeker and more lion like compared to the vintage version.. for RM230, i think its worth it! actually preorderd one but cancelled after i got the MPC version. haha.

This is mine......

thanks for detailed explanation, u r really good in giving review on toys hehe... i didnt realize MPC is die cast whereas the new one is plastic, plastic will hold more playability as experience in BT/ALT cases. Mind to share how much is ur MPC version? yes now i am determined to get the new one from PLAY-ASIA, to me playability always comes first, so die cast is quite a turn off TO ME.

Added on May 3, 2008, 12:52 amall in all, i got him from a US eBay seller for a total of RM560 inclusing express shipping. Atual price is USD109.90, not bad and compared to local shop, selling at RM7** there's one on eBay now, local seller, selling at exactly RM700. cheaper to get from the US actually, haha

yupe, if you want playability , the plastic version is worth the price and wait (July release i think) go get it bro!

OK it's 3x more expensive than the new plastic version

yupe, exactly. i think its due to:
1. the limited edition of the diecast version, only 15,000 are made.
2. die cast content
3. packaging and certificate of authenticity

the plastic version would have the same mold, except (im guessing):
1. not limited edition
2. packaging is as a gift set (from the promo pics, a black box rather than the book style)

im thinking of gettng the plastic version too, to play with. but see the poket first
