Actually I’m pretty sure there is one on sirtoys, that’s similar to the G1, but not similar enough to be that accurate! I would really love an oversized G1 accurate one too!
Not bad, for a knock-off. It's interesting that they made the changes they did. Blast Off looks more like Shuttler than G2 with the lack of camo paint.
I just saw the full CW box set Bruticus on sale on my local Targets Clearance Endcap for less than $60. So anyone looking for one may wish to check there.
So there are a lot of bruticus knock offs out there, do you people think this one seems good? Also, do you guys have any other Bruticus knock offs, because if so I’d be interested in hearing about them!
$20 is such a great deal for this figure when you consider that hasbro asks the same for some deluxe transformers under the guise that they are somehow “better” than the normal Generations ones. I really have to get this, and your review made that abundantly clear!
Agreed! You can't have too many Voltron toys, and this makes eight total for me as of this post. Took a few weeks to find the black lion at my local Target, the same one I got the other four lions from earlier. It was on an end cap, so I can't help wondering if it'd been there the whole time and I'd just missed it.
Hi, I'm a completely novice on this.
I only hace build a pair of prize runner robots, many blocks like-lego sets (3 different companies) and just 1 Bandai MG model (a Deathscythe EW ver. which is going a little... well I need resources that I don´t have and is very expensive to get them where I lives *Mexico, and in very small town*)
I'm actually seriously thinking about buy the normal version of White Glint and customize it (not a big deal, just a little change of color in certain parts, panelling and put it more weaponry (as if it doesn't have enough).
My questions are:
The cones of the booster can be folded in when is on normal mode? Or they had to remove them of the model to put ir in normal mode?
How many hours take it built it?
I just want the mech, not the V.O.B.
I kinda hate saying this, but seeing how they were able to get a fairly competent classic Voltron on the modern toy market, I was hoping Playmates would have gotten the new license for Power Rangers toys over Hasbro. They've certainly proven to they can do big chunky plastic toys over the increasingly hollow, quality control issues and overall mediocre Transformers and Star Wars toys Hasbro have been doing for the past years.
I'm glad that at least the shade of blue is correct with this. When Trendmasters had the license in the 90's, the blue was way too dark (also the Green Lion was the wrong shade of green as well).
Sure would be nice if these retailed for half of what they sell for now. I got Eagle and Bike Robo and they're fine, but they're too expensive for my tastes. I would pick Battle and Shuttle Robo for 20 bucks each.
Both the missus and I saw the movie and laughed at the Santa Claus baddie. We actually got to see him twice because the sound cut out on our showing for 15 minutes, so they rewound that section and showed it again with the sound back on. And it included that particular fight scene.
I had forgotten about it, but it's great to have his name.
Poster handling was a mess. We bought our tickets online for a really posh theater (leather recliners, etc). Zero mention of a poster so nobody got one. Would have been simplicity itself to bring them into the theater and hand them out to the 15-20 people in attendance. I called the next day and asked if they would hold a couple for me. Since they were going to throw them out, they handed me a bunch.
This line has been catching my eye for a while now, but this is where I take the plunge. Those Cy-Kill faces seal the deal for me. Hope some of the more famous designs get a similar treatment. Gasp, maybe we'll even some new Rock Lords-esque figures down the road.
The sound is an issue on mine as well. I address it in the black lion review. But I just turn it off anyway, thats not what I look for in a toy anyway.

If they made a version in the correct colors I'd be all over that.
I wish figuarts or someone would tackle the Bebop crew.

Actually I have a review of that Combiner was Bruticus box set on the way! :)

Are those pellets the same size as the standard bb gun ammo?

I just updated this entry to include an image of the packaging for the toy.
Wish I knew this was coming out before I bought Legendary Defender Voltron.
Ah well.

That's all, I appreciate your advices.
Thank you.

And buried right in the middle of this review is an Amazon ad for the Blue Lion priced at $26.99!
I would really love an ambulance robo figure! I think a cessna robo (waterwalk) in his white machine robo color scheme would be really great too!
I'd get a Ambulance Robo aka Rest-Q from this line.

I loved it. And we had no trouble with posters. They had them right on the stand next to the ticket taker as we entered.
I'm not the biggest GoBot fan ever but this is too nice to pass up.

Do you know about Terrarium TV ?, It will help you to download and watch the latest movies for free.

Great review!
