"FORM VOLTRON!" Here's the bit you've all been waiting for: the Legendary class lions combined as the Defender of the Universe,
Voltron. This guy is massive. It's so tall it didn't really fit in the photo box so I made due but apologize in advance for the lower quality of photos. Voltron's knees bend well but it's hard to make good use of that articulation. The elbows are pretty limited but since the lion heads swivel it's not dire. I'm very pleased to finally own a Voltron and this one is pretty darn good. Hopefully I'll stay satisfied with the Legendary Defender and not open the floodgates to find a classic version (like the exceptionally engineered and atrociously expensive Soul of Chogokin version).

So apparently when I was fiddling with poses the Red Lion became ajar and I learned that the sound chips can detect that but it took me the length of this video to figure out what was going on.
When the limb is reconnected you get a roll call.
Here's a more comprehensive set of sounds and phrases.
One last one to make sure I got the roar:
Awesome. They did a pretty good job, considering Playmates. Do the elbow bend any more than that? Seems like it would be hard to do considering the way the lion bodies are made.
ReplyDeleteIt is well done. The elbows don't really bend more than that for exactly that reason.
