Looks like still no Masterpiece VV, but it looks like we do get 2 VERY big Voltrons

That's it? That is all they had to offer? I was hoping they meant they were finally going to give us new figures of the pilots and villians. -_-

What is the deal with the small VV in the middle? It looks like the two vinyls unpainted with a small one in the middle.

I think the small one is the one that's currently up for preorder.

The large ones appear to be something else that I'm sure we'll hear about soon.

Eh, firing fists!

Still won't buy it, because I don't really have a use for a 2+ foot Voltron, but kinda cool.

Looks nice and all, but... also looks too expensive for what you get. They really do look little more than blown up version of the nine inch figures. For $200 they could've upped the details and articultion or something. Granted, this are just prototypes, and things could improve on the final product, but so far, it doesn't look all that spectacular.

If they come painted I'll purchase four of them.I don't think $200.00 is all that large of an amount for these.Maybe as they are now but if they were painted I would see it being at-least $250.00.And I will happily shell out the green backs for them.



Ash: Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?

They cost more than half of my paycheck when combined. If they were fully articulated and came with their swords, maybe, but honestly, I love my Golion vinyl to death, and the next time I really think we'll get another toon accurate Golion is if Revoltech does one, and the only reason I think that would be superior is because he would have a lot of posseability.

I've lost all hope for a masterpiece VV after reading

These both look awesome. Total insta-buys for me. :-P

The $200 each price tag is fair, imho. Not great, but fair. Jumbo Machinder collecting is a very niche market, with vintage figures often selling for thousands, and even recent newer Power Ranger ones going for a couple hundred bucks now in the after market.

Just curious, have any of you guys seen a jumbo in person? They are HUGE! The first one I saw was a Power Rangers Hurricane Megazord from a few years back. Bought it from Wal-Mart and was amazed at the size of it when I got home and assembled it. Pics of them absolutely do NOT fully convey their presence on the shelf. These Voltron jumbos look like they're gonna be MASSIVE!

Wow these look awesome! But no blazing sword. Plus TWO HUNDRED come on. I am always on Ebay the most a boxed voltron from the eighty's goes for is that. And that's because of the age and shape. I want one but at TWO HUNDRED its gonna be a wile and will probably be used. And why no blazing sword.



Let's roll

I agree, all of these vinyl figures definitely should be coming with blazing swords.

I wonder when we'll hear any updates on them?
