Color process images of the MA-01 Vehicle Voltron
Toyfreakz.com shows off new color images of Vehicle Voltron, still no release date.
"Miracle Productions sent over a couple of snapshots this morning of the final paint scheme for the MA-01 die-cast Vehicle Voltron. Included, is an older image, showing the incorrect coloring on the right arm, which has been corrected. $289.99"
The picture below shows incorrect coloring on the hands and has since been corrected.

9 comments postedI'm a little aprehensive about this figure. Are these photos just a test shot? It really looks floppy. I guess i'll wait to see a review and if it's not sold out pcik one up.
This guy is not floppy at all. These were quick shots, and not much care was put in to the pose. Stay tuned!
After all these delays with this product and the supposed color tuning, the colors are still wrong on this thing:
- Blue helicopter has a red cockpit.
- The horizontal silver stripe on the chest is missing.
- the "cross" on the pelvis shouldn't be a red cross, the vertical stripe should be blue.
- Still on the pelvis, the front should be yellow not silver.
There are so many other paint issues that I will spend a whole day listing them. Seriously, did the MP folks watch all 52 episodes as reference or they just based the paint on old toys/kits?
And what is up with the abdominal section? I now that in the anime and in the Popy toy, the middle ship that makes the abdomen section had rounded corners, but those curves were so subtle that did not make the toy look so floppy.
And finally, MP didn't fix the Electro-Whip, it's still backwards (handle used as tip).
All these waiting and frustrating delays for nothing...
The front wheel on the Red Tank (Left forearm) is gone! ;D Yes, I hope this is just a prototype!
I noticed that Miracle Productions mentioned a release this month of April or maybe the next month of May at the latest. Is that still the case?

Look at the last photo. It hasn't even been released, and already they've lost the chest airplane!
Some Vehicle Voltrons to ship without heads, but if you're really unlucky, all you get is a pair of legs.
All the comments Dave Oaks (Toyfreakz.com) had on the Miracle Productions Facebook page regarding this Vehicle Voltron are GONE! Same thing with the MP Vehicle Voltron comments in the Toyfreakz.com's facebook page. I hate to quote Han Solo but "I have a bad feeling about this..."

Lets just say perhaps the licensing situation wasn't as settled as we thought it was. I'm sure we'll have more official info soon.

Also it looks like the release date is now June 5 and a pre-order price of $269.99!
It looks like Vehicle Voltron is finally coming!
Good things do come to those who wait :)
