Includes:
- Variant hands (weapon holding, fists, vehicle fronts)
- Dairugger Sword
- Dairugger Lance (A,B)
- Spin Cutters
- Dairugger Typhoon effect
- Electromagnetic Whip
- Dialiger Killer (?)
- Display stand with baseplates for both Dairugger and Voltron
Due October 2018 for 38,500 yen. Preorders go up Monday, June 3.
The shoulder blades are removable, and check out the variant hands!
There are some nice details that we havent seen on Vehicle Voltron before. Check out the small black windows on the back of the helicopters. Also note the helicopter blades. They come in two or three bladed versions.
This new version inclues the towers on the submarines that were excluded from the US version. They store on the base when in robot mode.
There are some nice touches to the ground team. The hand vehicles now have different detal in the headlights, and the wheels fold up in fist mode.

it looks magnificent- but ¥38500? That’s incredibly steep, isn’t it?
Sure, there are a lot of component vehicles, but ~$350 is another 50% more expensive than other recent flagship SoC releases, right?
Sigh. I’ll probably end up with it anyway. I expect pre-ordering will be necessary, as I can’t imagine vendors wanting to stock many of these that aren’t spoken for.
Wow, and it doesn't come out till 2918?! The wait will kill us all!
LOL but seriously, cool. I'm thinking I may pre-order two for display purposes.
Ugh, fixed. I'll be up at 4am waiting for the preorder go live tonight!
It says "Due October 2018 for 38,500 yen."
Thats what not getting the pre-order will do to you...
Got You
Yup, many people alerted me of this this morning. I've got it preordered. Good price even though I have to wait a month later than Japan.
