It is official, Bandai to announce SOC Voltron at SDCC 2016

[CFF]

I am surprised that no one posted this yet.
Anyway by looking at the teaser picture, I am not exited.
Just another Lion Voltron...

I'm very excited! None of the other Voltrons look like him or are legit.. EDIT just realized legs are showing!!!! Lame Bandai ! The one thing no one got right should be right on an SOC!! Checked over at the low rent board someone posted lightened photo... If legs can be removed plates need to be customized to fit holes like my Daltanious back.

Yet another rendition of the OLD Godaikin toy! NOT of the Voltron/Golion anime character!!!

Very pissed off indeed!

Agree TMZ!

Bandai better tell me at SDCC why do I need to have this Voltron.
Because as it stands, it looks like another rehash of previous Popy, Trendmasters, Toynami, Mattel, and Mad Toys releases.

Should read THE WAIT CONTINUES..!! I am so frustrated it's not anime accurate that what is the point really at all.Bandai ain't gonna change the molds they never do once it's shown..

Also seems like it will be not a large toy maybe Combattler sized .. Just the feel I get from pics. Damn.This was the last chance for this character and frankly Only redeemer would be a great Dairugger or Albegas or accurate SRC Mazinkaiser sized..

STILL only anime accurate Voltron is the Blazing Sword plastic toy.They either are being lazy,making the homage to toy and not anime,or this is what people come to expect now lion legs everywhere! Can we hope extra lions without legs will be included?? Cuz I don't see how they could fold away if you wanted by this pic.Id be happy with plate covers!

If the legs are not removable, this Voltron will also suffer from deformed Separate Lions Syndrome... just like all the others made before.

What if what they are showing is just a shopped picture of the old Godaikin? I might be completely wrong but Bandai's history is always to make more anime accurate right? Why would they do anything less. What if they are swerving us hard? Sorry, maybe I have been a pro wrestler for too long. LOL

[TheMazingerZ]

It is possible. To be honest, when I first saw that pucture, I thought it was the Toynami version!

SDCC 2016 is two weeks away.
We will just have to wait and see.

GX-71 (27 cm tall) coming this December at 30,000 Yen.











If I was strictly into SOC collecting, I would be static for finally having Voltron under this line. But since I am not, all I have to say is MEH!!!

[TheMazingerZ]

What happened to SOC GX-70?

I'm going to get one of these SOC Voltrons, but that doesn't mean I'm happy with what I see. Bandai could've done so much better, but instead decided to just remake the Godaikin Golion toy. Sad, sad, sad...

How utterly fecking depressing.man the non hidden legs are even more garish than usual! Oh well I'll get it but happy is not a word associated with this toy. Wonder why they are not showing the numbers on the lions or nameplate ... Is it Voltron or Golion? Is this why no nameplate? No decision yet? Also are we getting a decal sheet for the numbers? All trivial anyhow.. Even if it were made of pure gold and life size Id be no more impressed... Damn wanted the real thing.

Yes in the past there are nods to the vintage toys BUT this remained in packaging NOT the actual toy which was always Anime accurate.. So those on other boards which are parading the SOCs are made as vintage remakes etc your sorely wrong EXCEPT in this case.

Wait if this is 71 what's GX-70 then? Could it be these sushi things listed as such ?? In Italian but.. robopower.wordpress.com/2016/04/01/prossima-uscita-soc-bandai-gx-70/

Or this Mazinger z model taunted as gx70? www.giocattolivecchi.com/Forum_detail.aspx?t=0&id_d=1419548

[TheMazingerZ]

You know what, I think it's time to modify a Toynami Anniversary Voltron...

Anyone have thoughts on what the hell gx70 is?
