hey all,
first time posting here, so my apologies in advance if i'm posting this in the wrong section. Smiler

i recently purchased a bootleg golion(taiwan)and discovered that the blue lion front left leg(if you were sitting inside the blue lion) is on backwards.

below is a pic of the backwards foot, excuse the blurry pic...

while it doesn't really affect the lion by itself, the front left leg doesn't fold properly so the robot mode looks off.
below is a pic of what it looks like when the foot is folded as much as it can fold...

so i was wondering if anyone had a spare blue lion front left foot lying around that they'd be willing to sell me? i would prefer it look somewhat new but i understand that this is a vintage toy so that request might be a bit unreasonable.

anyhoo, if someone can help, please send me a PM or email me at knuts_usATyahoo.com

thanks in advance for you help. Smiler

Well, hate to be a party pooper, but I think they are all like that...I bend my Blue Lion's legs the other way. The front legs of Blue & Yellow fold differently than Green/Red, or the back legs of Blue/Yellow.

I'm sick, and light headed so I'm not able to get my stuff down to take a snapshot...

Can anyone else whom has a Voltron loose take a quick side pic of how to do the legs for Blue & Yellow lion?

H-E-double hockey sticks! thats not what i wanted to hear, Frowner but many thanks for your response.
this toy is pretty cool but that one backwards leg is killing me. i'm like super anal about stuff like this. ahhh how sad, i'm 31 years old and i'm still crying about my toys. lol

a couple of other questions for you experts...
is this the case for all the lionbots from taiwan? the front left leg of the blue lion is backwards on all the ones that were made there?

perhaps someone has a spare rear left leg they can sell me? maybe that would do the trick? i think they're the same size?

whatever the case is, if i can't find this leg, i guess i'll just keep them as lions and get a toynami one for robot mode....grrrrr! toynami....nobodies favorite toy maker. :P

Wow I just checked out the extra blue and yellow lions I have and they have a taiwan sticker on them. They came with a different Voltron and I had to buy new legs for it. Never noticed it because I just took them off, replaced them, and wrapped/stroed these. This one has a strange leg too...
