[@Zmeister88]

Thanks for the special mention of our country. Voltes V is like one of the giant mecha icons here in the Philippines. It crossed a couple of generation of kids watching this particular anime.

[@RocketPunchArmy]

Mik Zarzuela You guys are pros when it comes to Voltes V. I wasnt raised with Voltes V here. I grew up with Voltron, Robotech (Macross) and Transformers but I do remember seeing Voltes on the Godaikin brochures

[@BienMesana]

Mik Zarzuela nag iipon na akoooooo hahahaha

[@johnnycash7556]

That yellow pvc that you're referring to is the voltes whip..it;s his belt he drags it out when he uses the ultra magnetic top

[@notgalvatron1698]

I grew up with Voltron, Voltes V, and Daimos. And BOY were those really popular here in the Philippines.

[@alitartila4151]

Huo

[@theunusualtofu]

I know this vid was back in 2015 but this is one of my favourite reviews I have seen. Voltes V and Mazinger Z (mostly Voltes V) were the big reasons to why I started to collect some robots like some Gundam Models and some other mecha figures.

[@xeno1453]

Our local tv network (GMA) here in the Philippines still shows Voltes 5 at around 8 in the morning haha😁 man brings back a lot of good childhood memories😁😁

[@mauiJCOBTokorozawa]

wow so Proud, for my country Philippines to be mentioned in your Review.... thank you so much.

[@guagua2490]

I used to have this toy in the 70s! WoW...great memories!! Thanks!

[@JuandelaCruz001]

This mecha was legendary here in my country back in the day (late 70's - early 80's). Sure there were others, but "V" was the one and only.

[@hotrod2391]

This one is one of my childhood hero...I hope they make a movie of this!

[@user-qn5qk8cq5g]

The price of this product has gone up a lot because of the current premium. It's one of the best products.

[@PatrickBautista_RR3Gamer]

Filipinos love Voltes V! The anime's been influential to our childhoods.

[@badbozy89]

hi Guys, now there is NEW Voltus V robot, check it out you will love it, you can buy it here, amzn.to/2FeD1iM

[@animaljamhq7138]

[@Paulygoku]

Man so many memories growing up in the phillipines with voltes v

[@putradukungajang993]

Paul Cabrera chupa

[@FakeWeebKy]

Paul Cabrera same. It was my binge watching show.

[@ecayari]

I had a complete set of this back in the Philippines in 1978. My father bought it in Hong Kong ,much to me and brothers delight and played with it endlessly. The set wasn't as detailed as this, but it was great for the time.

[@RocketPunchArmy]

ecayari Nothing wrong with the vintage, it is still sought after and a great toy!

[@brandx012]

Very minor note, but the little wings on the shoulders actually rotate around to sit on the backs of the arms when it's all combined.

[@evananthonytayag3846]

I like it, thanks for the review. Love it so much. I miss the 80's and 90's. More power.

[@dust8504]

God damn this is a masterpiece. The colors, the robot, the transformation everything is perfect the even have a plastic piece with the same color as in anime to cover the hole on volte's chest when the sword is out

[@prestonmcleod1726]

I remember renting this video from Blockbuster many years ago. In the US it was dubbed Voltus 5. Like Voltron, his sword was his ultimate weapon. When he slash his victims he would do it in the form of a V, kinda like Zorro leaving a Z on his opponent's.

[@haimecayanan8614]

Voltes V is really big in Philippines.

[@MCAP887]

Seeing this makes me cry with tears of joy. Ive never seen such model with firm articulation even from the 90's

[@paulmichaelcamitan5364]

Saying Hi from the Philippines we love Voltes V!

[@raycdo2012]

called it old school but it live up everyone fantasy in the 80's thats one of the reason i love mecha

[@ibidangeles5437]

Shout out for the Philippines, instant like 😊

[@fredlao6655]

Grew up watching voltes five , had the big original toy . I like this version more grown up . Great video !

[@petekaiser]

Shoutouts again from the philippines again. This is always great to look at. Wish i had this or the dairugger xv

[@percyvalpastor145]

12:33 the "Voltes whip" the small red is the "ultra electro magnetic top". :-)

[@armend316]

May 5, 1978 Voltes V first aired on GMA7 thank you! Next was Mekanda Robot, Daimos, Mazinger Z & Grandizer. Thank you! 🙂❤ Please check those out too! 🙂 Enjoy!

[@gabrieldjatienza6971]

Volt Tank mode was never used in the 40 episode anime. However in the Super Robot Wars video game, Volt Tank mode was used but when teamed up with Combattler V.

[@Xalcoatl]

pretty strong attack

[@Liggie55821]

I remember watching this and "Mazinger Z" when I visited family in the Philippines as a kid. We had the original toy from 1980, it might be still hanging around.

[@matthunter9562]

Voltus V is My Super Hero Mecha when I was a kid still the best of the best above all the giant Mecha.

[@zelgemini24]

I love Voltes V so much since my childhood..but i felt sad because i did not able to make collection of those action figures since then.

[@dinomonzon8853]

Volt 1 Crewzer. Volt 2 Bomber. Volt 3 Panzer. Volt 4 Frigate. Volt 5 Lander. Super Electro Magnetic Machine Voltes V is still considered an iconic mecha anime even today in the Philippines. Mark Gordon (who operates the Volt Bomber), and Jaime Robinson (who pilots the Volt Lander, and who is also a ninja) were my fave members of the team, but my fave characters overall in the series were Dr. Ned Armstrong, Dr. Richard Smith, & Dr. Hook. I see that this set includes the Mecha-Eagle. The mecha anime of the 1970s were huge in the Philippines back then. Hope you'll consider a comparison between Voltes V & Super Electro Magnetic Robot Combattler V, which preceded Voltes V as an anime in Japan. The Voltes Bazooka & Gatling (Voltes) Missiles were my fave weapons. As far as I know, the Volt Tank option was never seen in the anime.

[@RocketPunchArmy]

Rk Brillant ouch, yeah this robot is like a god over there! maybe even more popular than Voltron was here

[@rickg8015]

RocketPunchArmy Voltron was big here too.. Lions and Vehicles.. Macross/ Robotech, and Transformers in the 80’s.. And most of the old school late 70’s stuff from Toei, etc.. But Voltes V is indeed the king here lol..

[@rexthero]

the man combined voltes V in reverse order

[@baonkang5990]

cant help but to say wooooh when i look at it

[@chrisgoyeah414]

Maybe that's where Guillermo del Toro got the idea of the folding-like sword in Pacific Rim. I guess? Ehehehehe.

[@dirkwangke9476]

I have no idea Voltus has Volt Tank mode.. Soo Cool!

Finally, a decent review of Voltes V (the best I have seen so far). I have been waiting for this bad boy's review for some time now. Thank you very very very very very much. Now, time for "V" formation ......... Let's... Volt..... IN!......

[@RocketPunchArmy]

[@atty.francorommelreyesmd3105]

Had the original when I was a kid. Much bigger. More shooting functions.

[@dominicfong6341]

It is a real eye opener, thank you very much!

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I didn't know that the Mechanical Eagle is included in the box,that's a good bonus. As of date,I am looking for the die cast model which I saw sometime in the late '80s.

[@RocketPunchArmy]

The Popy? thats some serious money there

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

RocketPunchArmy I'm still CRAVING for it when it was shown in the "Uncle Bob's Lucky Seven Club" in a tv network in the Philippines.

[@leondeleon5039]

Credits to the design team for the V5 gx31v,its as real as it can get. The issue that i have with v5 is the over extended folded bulldozer wheels on the panzer.I hope u reconsider the design for upco ming v5s,to give it a more snug fit, without it looking hanging out like that.

[@juanitocodilla8185]

Wow amazing review

[@chichiboypumpi]

ever since as a kid I wondered how do the UEM tops get stored and deployed without the cockpits getting in the way

awesome review! Now I know how to put that bird on the back! thanks!

[@keltdevangel1]

What a beautiful thing! I really would like to find one (in good conditions!)..possibly in the OLDER version - the one with numbers.

[@sleekgeek36]

voltes v is a PH icon next to that is daimos and voltron

Found this figure at New York Comic Con 2016 for $399 in brand new sealed packaging.

[@karlmueller1980]

From my research I think vultures he was going to be the third Voltron series for the US market but never came out.

[@mlmaronilla]

Third Voltron was actually going to be Albegas

[@dredstonemilestone8518]

what a cool video

[@koohlog]

Thank you for the info. 😘

[@ronsarmiento2003]

[@marklestergamayon7361]

[@dediharrisma2128]

waw amazing i hope they make tv series again, new story, new enemy, new character? :)

[@retrodoodmanx7161]

So its like the respect for volt in box version of Voltes V, but with a more darker colors.

[@TwesomE]

One of the best but still from the ones that writes down close to the price tag you cannot afford it!

[@ailenelorenzo1431]

Akin nalang yung isa mong voltes v toy hehehehe

Kelan kaya maaayos yung Panzer? Dapat yung kagaya naman sa tv mismo.

Good review. What is the actual size of the v5 in inches? And what is the toy beside it at the end of the video sold in amazon at $37?

Love your reviews!! even downloaded some of them offline. I always check your reviews before I purchase the toy.

[@RocketPunchArmy]

+Racist Scum Glad you enjoy them and that I can be of help in your buying decisions

[@deathscar]

+RocketPunchArmy it's because of these review that I got myself a 40th anniversary Voltes V.

[@betacrest10]

Voltes V does not do the Volt Tank mode in the anime. Just a gimmick for the toy at least. But Combattler V(the first of the two ultra electro magnetic robots) has Grand Dasher mode in the anime.

[@MantisNineNines]

Precision. Quality. Chogokin is as good as it gets.

[@RocketPunchArmy]

***** Whats amazing is that this is an "old" mold. Each release surprises more than the last

how do you get the Frigate and the Panzer cockpit to pop out when you disassemble Voltes V

[@duke1854]

hey man, just want to say great review. very kind and informative. i'm from the philippines and i will start collecting after seeing reviews such as yours. cheers and job well done..

[@freddyfreddy3177]

I think the quality varies very much in this series. I have two boxes of 40th for some reasons, and I compare them. One has a gap between the hip and the belly when they put together. The other has a flimsy left leg joint! When I realise the problems, I forthwith wrote to the Tokyo head office for a repair, but was refused surprisingly! The solution: I take the good ones together to form a perfect set, and vice verse😆😆😆 And now I don’t know what to do with the imperfect set😭😭😭! I had the GX-31 in 2005/06. It was problem-free. Do u think such poor QC for the 40th sets is owing to “made in China”?????? I realised the GX-31 was made in Japan in 2005/06, but the 40th ones were made in China!!!!!!
