Also one minor correction, that everybody seems to get wrong. Popy was NOT a legacy company that Bandai inherited. Popy always was a Bandai creation and subsidiary of sorts. It was a side company and branding created by the Bandai principles, largely to create Die Cast toys. It wasn't closed or bought out. Bandai simply reabsorbed it and its branding back into the main Bandai brand. If you have ever encountered robot toys by a company called Megahouse, that is similarly a semi independent Bandai subsidiary. Popy differs from a company such as Takatoku, makers of the original Macross Valkyrie (Transformers Jetfire) who went bankrupt and were bought out and absorbed by Bandai.

Hi M&M Seen quite a few of your vlogs in the past so just wanted to say thanks for the coverage of golion SOC gx-71. I think some viewers may have probably pointed this out by now that your review had missed a few articulation additions that would vastly address your sword hold issue. 1. the elbows for both red and green lion can be extended out to increase the elbow bend and its overall arm reach. 2. the black tab in the black lion's shoulder locking tabs requires a bit of force and is it officially locked in until you hear a click. One of mine took a small plastic widget (spoon handle) to help push it in until I heard the very audible click noise. This should resolve your shoulder arm rotation issue that was also mentioned with the black lion's chest section. 3. one last thing the torso can be extended up a bit allowing golion to increase its height and slight bend as well. I have quite a few golion myself ranging from the original popy to various release of it sense ... I can say without a doubt this is the definitive golion to date (minus the spring launching missles) Thanks again for your informative vids as always keep up the good work :)

Great review! For me, this is the first Voltron I've ever owned. I've crossed paths with all of the ones you mentioned in this video but with all of its features, I just had to have this one! You're absolutely right about the sword posing but the positives outweighed the negatives. The one thing I do like is that it has the silver on the end of the wings; the one thing I don't like is the rounded hinge - it should be on the other side. Overall, one of the best pieces in my collection!

Thank you for the video. I bought this SOC Voltron on pre-order as I used to own the original popy back in the 80's. This is a great toy but I wish instead of going the way of making an updated popy the tried something different. It would have been great if they tried to be more anime accurate and figured out a way to have the legs removable and have covers to hide the missing legs. I know this was already expensive and I am happy to own. So for now I will keep waiting for my definitive Voltron toy if that should ever come to fruition :)

Love the video. My son and I watched it and he immediately fell in love with this. I told him that it's probably $300 and sure enough. He got to live my childhood dream of having a real Voltron figure in the guise of Lionbot. A year ago, when he asked for a Voltron figure for Christmas, I was speechless. We were watching the original cartoon series and he became a fan a few years ago. My only complaint about Voltron is the gigantic disparity between the low quality "toy" sets and the collector sets. Outside of Lionbot, there seems to be nothing in between that's a reasonable compromise between play and a collectible. I know that you prefer Beast King Golion to Voltron, but you owe it to yourself to check out the Netflix reboot. It's actually quite spectacular and finally is Voltron done correctly. We just finished season two this week and the final episode had me on edge. Can't wait for a third season. Season one is a bit slow but season two is very well done.

@andrewtaylor9408 жыл бұрын
Great review. And a reasonably fair comparison of those available. Just a few comments. 1. Play with the GX-71 some more. You haven't discovered all of its jointing yet. Yes you are supposed to unlock the shoulders to do that cross chest pose. But what you missed is the Red and Green Lions have extension joints in the waists. The elbows compress and uncompressed. Extend them and that 2handed sword pose becomes much easier. 2. While the Toynami is a little easier to pose in the arms. It counters this by being awful in the legs. Bandai has highly articulated legs and feet. Plus the Bandai legs hold a pose. They don't crash together like those '80's "clackers" when you pick the robot up. Nor do the cats fall off the legs when picked up. They have a hard lock. Toynami's die cast cats are really too heavy for the plastic black lion limbs. Bandai's Blue and Yellow Lions also have waist shoulder and neck joints, which both allows the cats to sit and allows for much better Leg posing in robot mode. I would definitely say that the new Bandai is the best all around, most well rounded interpretation of the robot. The only thing it lacks is the spring fire missiles of the original. (Which they seem to have backed away from lately, not sure why?) Yeah the Popy is still your first love. You can never replace that. And for the Collector that will be important. But for the Adult Collector looking for A Voltron, the SOC is the best starting point. Oh and Mike... it's Sunday, go take the afternoon and binge watch the new Voltron. You'll thank us. You really will. It perfectly threads the needle between the fun engaging characters of the original Voltron, and the deeper weighty stories of GoLion and shows amazing respect to both. The new robot designs while different are acceptable. You really need to see them in motion to appreciate them. It's not the Game of Thrones brutality of GoLion, but it is on par with the showrunners prior work Avatar the Last Airbender. You guys will love it.

I guess I was fortunate enough to live in the Bay Area and get imports of Golion/Voltron back in the 80's. And it was one of my most prized toys in my childhood. Now they stand as 5 lions on display. They may be 30+ years old, but I still love the original. And the new Bandai SoC Voltron is my choice as the modern representation of the original. Sure, it has its limitations, but they're pretty insignificant IMHO when you look at the entire package. Unfortunately, mine came with some paint defects on the Black Lion, and I'm hoping to get that resolved with the site I purchased the set from soon. I'm actually pretty unhappy about that as I have been looking forward to this release for a long time now.

Hey Michael, your videos are always A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Question for you, why don't you like watching Modern TV shows based on classic properties, like Mandalorian and the Netflix Voltron? Both are great shows and I highly recommend them. Mandalorian is the most Original Trilogy-like Star Wars spinoff out there. I think you might appreciate it if you were to give it a chance.

I'm getting the new Playamtes Voltron simply because this figure now goes for $700 - 1200. Hope they re-release this.

Still doesn't matter. Doesn't sound like s fair trade to me..... losing the spring loaded missiles for that double blade thingy!..... I'd rather have the missiles! Love the video. Can't wait to see what more videos will be coming this year!!

I really like the looks of almost all of the Soul of Chogokins, the only thing that I don't like, is that they are very expensive... If i'm not mistaken. I've never seen Voltron or GoLion, but just from internernet I know him, so if the playmates ones appear near me, maybe I'll try to get them... I heard they are good...

Mike, it's been bugging me for a while now, but are you Hellogreedo?
