here's my mini review....
there are things i like and things i don't like about it. The number 1 thing this has got going for it is poseability. It is very articulate and the proportions are actually quite nice. The quality of each lion has its pros and cons too.... the die-cast feels quite nice and sturdy, but the plastic used for the legs and the head just kinda suck.
PLUS the coloring for the head to the body is off, especially on the Yellow Lion. That's why the head looks kinda funny. The paint job on the die-cast parts are really nice... especially on the green and blue Lions. They have sparkly pearls in the paint, but the red and yellow lions are kinda dull comparitively.
The big dissapointment in this set is the lack of extras. The Sword and Shield are nicely sculpted, but as far as the extras on the Lions themselves, there's nothing fantastic about them to make them worth displaying in their lion forms. With the time they took on making this... they could have added all the cool little features that the old voltron toys did, where the missle in the yellow lion fired, or at least it was there. And where the sides of the yellow lion's heads popped open. Or on the Blue lion where the backpack came up to shoot something and such.
Even the green and red lion's head don't fire, but i can see how the exchanged this feature for poseability. However, i still think it could have been possible to make it launch and still have poseability. SOOOOO.... all and all... i like it in its combined form a lot. The lack of anything else wil make sure this baby stays this way for long while in my display case....
