Transformers MP-20 Masterpiece Wheeljack

This has probably got to be the most anticipated Masterpiece fgure for me. While the character is cool, he doesn't quite grab my attention much onscreen when I've watched the show, but I've always loved his design and colors. Knowing he will be released in Masterpiece form is a total must-buy for me. A silhouette was release recently showing Wheeljack in MP form. Shortly after this, a sketch showing details was put up by somebody. Then came the color sketch to give us an idea of what he will look like. Almost looks like somebodt behind the scenes created the sketch because it's very very detailed.



Transformers MP-21 Masterpiece Bumblebee?

So we all know somewhere in the future lies an MP-21 Bumblebee. We are all anxiously awaiting the arrrival of some more G1 Characters to add to our shelf. On e of the experiences involved in waiting is seeing a silhouette of grey prototype of the figure to give us a peek of what to expect. Well this image has popped up recently. But before you get too excited, it's a fake. Oh well, sometime soon.

Information on Soul of Chogokin Golion Voltron and more!

This video is chock full of questions weve all been asking and some exclusive info on Voltron happenings. This video is from the awesome Retroblasting channel.

Voltron Golion findings on eBay

I was perusing eBay recently in hopes of throwing my money at things and I found some really cool stuff. I only bid on the Singapore Voltron because well I've never seen it before. It has a cool box and features all the gimmicks of the MIJ Golion. Well, I didn't win. Another day another time I would have without question but I'm focusing my collection so putting aside variations of stuff I own for a while. Anyways enjoy!

 Lionbot Mazinger Z Diecast
OK, so this isn't a Voltron, but check out the name on the box! Lionbot! BWAHAHAHAHA! Buy it now clicked immediately.
Now on the back it shows a Great Mazinger body with a lion head. Maybe this is the Lionbot they intended to make?

5.5" of diecast metal laid in Styro for $24.99 shipped. Done.
Popy Golion Jumbo Machinder
I have heard of its existence but this is the first time I see the whole box in this shape. I NEEEEED to own this but I bet it's way out of my reach.


Unlike the US LJN version, this shoots missiles form the fists!




I was 5-6 when this came out.

LOVE the Golion logo on the chest.

Japanese vending machine cards (Gashapon)
I love the artwork. One of Golion's most iconic poses.

I remember my cousing buying a yellow lion that he had to put together. Now I know where this set came from.


Korean crazy bootleg. Is there even a reason to put "crazy" in between Korean and Bootleg?
Voltron Binocular Bootle"Transmutableh Robot- Outer Space Champion" Huh?
The colors burn my brain! Also is that lipstick on his lips?

Love the spelling- Transmutableh

Instructions?






Popy Singapore Golion
I bid on this and it ended at a reasonable price but I didnt bid higher. Although now I regret it somewhat. Look at that wonderful box.


Has all the gimmicks of the japanese one! Shooting fists and weapons.

French Golion sets.










Korean Bootleg set.
Looks like it doesn't transform and all the lions share the same mold. At least it comes with a little plastic Voltron. Only worth it for the artwork. Nothing else.
