Still haven't opened mine. Lol. Have to check it now for defects. This is like THE toy to have for Filipino fans who missed out on the vintage releases. It's a great display piece for those who grew up watching the show.
the "fire alarm thing is not an issue. the duration is long because you need to volt him in from the head to toe. it mimics the magnetic sound from the show while they are volting in. then you press the button the head again to finish the combination. you actually press that button before you start combining them, there's a dialog in there to start the sequence
i can't afford this, but i just got my *Voltes V mini action series* from shopee philippines right now! It's so awesome for PHP 3,116!! buy yours now!!! 🇵🇭 i have been wanting to have a voltes 5 figure for so long, *since childhood... from the 90's.* I finally fulfilled my life-long dream. 🤗 voltes five's 10 *VOLTED IN* attacks: 1. Chain knuckles - arms 2. Voltes missiles - fingers 3. Voltes bazooka - wrist 4. Grand fire - belt buckle 5. Ultra magnetic whip - waist belt 6. Ultra magnetic top - abdomen 7. Ultra magnetic beam - chest 8. Ultra magnetic wave - upper torso 9. Laser sword - center chest 10. Ultra magnetic ball - sword of heaven
I’m a big fan of all kinds of robot anime, so it was cool for me to discover that my Filipina mother actually knew about Voltes V when I asked her! Tempted to get this figure someday to see if she’d be interested in it too
@RocketPunchArmy - The proper ears are the red ones. The white ones may have just been put there so the red ones won't get scratched while in the packaging as the head was squeezed in tight.
@@RocketPunchArmy Thanks for the shoutout for the Filipinos. The English dub for Voltes V was done in the Philippines in the 70's, so we grew up with Voltes. Unfortunately, the last few episodes were not broadcasted during that time as the government asked the airing to be stopped due to the series' disposition towards rebellion. We were under martial law at that time. The ending was only aired more than a decade later. Also, a local TV network is currently creating a live action version of Voltes V :) Hope it lives up to the hype.
Yes, this is what I did but no excuse when you pay $600+ for something. It needs to have zero issues. If I can buy a perfect action figure for $14.99 theres no excuse for this. The price I pay includes what they charge to maintain quality control
Cool video!👍 I know its been awhile since you posted this, but the “annoying” sound after volt in, can be cancelled by pushing the tiny button behind his head. (volt crewzer) This concludes the “volt in sequence” thats why his eyes light up and he says “Voltes V”.
Great review! Definitely reach out to Bluefin. I had to reach out to them when I had an issue with the neck ratchet on the blue lion from my Soul of Chogokin Voltron set. They sent me a whole blue lion and said to keep the faulty one. They have great customer service and you can speak to someone directly.
That alarm sound turns off when you manually press the button at the back of the head. It’s meant to keep playing because that’s the sound effect it makes when they’re combining. I don’t think this review did enough justice to Voltes V. I love your reviews, but as an avid Voltes V fan, this could’ve been done better.
Ok I get it, if you combine in the proper order instead of me doing it head last then it does imitate it. I just dont like having to manually press a button to shut it off. I appreciate the feedback. Will take into consideration for future reviews. I didnt grow up with Voltez V so its hard to do it justice. I can def understand what you mean. Thanks for watching!
@@derick5556 I def was in a hurry. I have an average view time of 3 minutes. Most of my videos are over 20 minutes so that ratio kills visibilty. So Im trying to keep the dialogue to a minimum to see if that helps. I love talking but channel needs to stay healthy too to keep TH-cam algorithm in my favor. This could have easily been a 40-60 minute review normally but with a 3 min average viewtime, it tells me people lose interest very quickly. I have to find a happy medium.
@@RocketPunchArmy Charles, If I could recommend, for these bigger sets, do a unboxing video and review for the vehicles and accessories, and a separate combination and robot review. I think most of us that support your channel would be totally down with that, just to see a more thorough and concise review. I know it means more recording and editing but might be worth it.
Hey! You should check the voltes v mega trailer just recently released by gma. Its the live action adaptation of the hit tv series. Hopefully you would like its updated design.
Bad ass looking voltes! The fire alarm sound in the head could be a low battery. I had that light and sound Godzilla from Bandai and his batteries were low and he would make some crazy sound repeatedly
The only issue i have is with the locking clip on the side when transforming the volt bomber... i was hoping that you would show a "proper" way of clipping it?? I was able to do it but it took quite some time because i don't wanna scratch or break it. Btw, this is Leo Lopez, your bassist fan from the Philippines! Great review and more power!👊
I got my first set from Amazon Japan last December. It was complete and no issues like your figure. My second from BBTS is still sealed and for sale. Do you think I need to open it? Are you doing another video for the upgrade kits from Brandon?
At last ! Nice quick review. I love mine but also have issues: - bomber articulation loose for the right shoulder - many thin scuff marks on the blue plastic (due to transport ?), a bit on some of the grey (waist & shoulders) - the same issue with the right ankle but not as bad as yours though. There must be a way to fix it, a screw somewhere. Just to complete the information about die cast presence, some on the Volt Cruiser with the thrusters, and of course the wheels on the volt bomber. Despite all this, I still think this DX is a must have. Got mine from Anime Export (JP) and have asked for a replacement of my Bomber, but I'm not very optimistic.
@@RocketPunchArmy its probably rushed. he wasnt supposed to be the fourth dx. its grendizer. look at the next dx.. its gaiking. they gone bck to the original soc chronological order.
I am not familiar with this robot, but I must admit that it is a wonderful figure. PD: your logo robot looks like the lost son between mazinger z and getter poseidon xD.
Just got mine yesterday and wasn't planning on opening it....sealed brown box. By the way, is there a batch number on these to know manufacturing dates or it doesn't matter as it's only a first short run and that's it.
That handle on the box is a nice touch. These are the modern toys that will stand the test of time, not marvel legends, not black series star wars, and not power rangers, great review! Can't believe you can't pose it looks like the legs are the only things that cant move much. Keep us updated on the problems.
Mine also have the issue where the right foot do not lock in well. It seems a little better than yours in that it will stay in place after I push it in with some force, but comes apart pretty easily. And I'm guessing eventually it will become like yours where it doesn't lock at all. That foot (non) locking design is pretty bad in my opinion and baffling on such a big figure, where there should be plenty of room to design something that locks in securely. I do think it's worth the money, but at the same time I wasn't super impressed with it either (it didn't help that I got the Pose+ Baikanfu at about the same time and was blown away by it). It's basically the same figure as the Action Toys Mini-Action Voltes with less articulation, a couple of more gimmicks, and lots more accessories, so I didn't find a lot to be excited about. It does have a great presence just standing there slightly posed though, so at the end of the day I am happy to have it.
The best classic style diecast gokin Mazinger is the DX SOC Mazinger. However it's long been sold out and ebay prices can be $800 to $1000. If you don't care about diecast and just want anime style piece for display you can also look at sofubi or other vinyl Mazingers.
@@RocketPunchArmy fair enough, when I get around to calibrating my 3D printer and actually get a resin printer I plan on going back and fixing a lot of my old broken toys at I still have in my grandmother's basement
I actually dealt with Bandai directly before. They sent me a replacement fist for my DX Chogokin Combattler V. Yes, they much prefer you deal with the official distributor, but at the end, they were nice about it. I had to send them the duplicate fist first before they sent me the replacement. And yes, I communicated with them in Japanese. I don't think they have English customer service.
Replace it with the red ears, the sound effect of the head is normal, you are supposed to press the button before volt in and again after it is connected th-cam.com/video/hf7-Muz6nuE/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, was gonna say that the sound effect loops to simulate the transformation sequence. He also technically did the combination in reverse order, meaning that it makes sense for the looping sound to play from the head while the rest of the body is assembled if you assemble it from head to feet

Do not leave this closed...open it and check everything! Combine it test electronics in case you have to make a claim

I doubt it since the white ears are painted and the red ears are molded red. But yes Im glad the issue is with the white and not the red

fantastic review as always. thank you! I hope bluefin makes it right for you. until the next review!
You can change the "ears" with the red ones that you can find in the box for a more screen accurate look

Thank you for this review, been waiting to see if im the only one who has the problem with the right leg of the frigate
Thanks for the shout out (2:58). I'm one of your many viewers as I find your toy reviews honest and to the point...
Thanks for the nice review of my favorite super Robot Voltes V. I'll share this review.
This is an awesome robot.
yessss. yehey, my long wait is coming.and finally here
Cool video!👍

I am sure you can have your piece replaced if you write to Bandai directly.
Maybe someday their will be a dx chogokin golion.
Especially if Blitzway's version beats GX-71, Bandai would answer back ha ha

awesome simply awesome
I'm glad you're back 👍super cool piece,great video brother 👍👍👍
Filipino friends in Seattle too! Awesome review!
What’s the leg/hip articulation like? You sorta skipped over it. Just wondering if the legs can go forward at all?
The fire alarm is actually the first sound when they start to combine. You combined it in reverse. 😅
Let's Volt In!
Prices of these have gone up, if you can find one for sale. 😅
A very cool review, thanks!
Hey! You should check the voltes v mega trailer just recently released by gma. Its the live action adaptation of the hit tv series. Hopefully you would like its updated design.
Just got him from Amazon. I promised my wife that this will be my last super robot purchase.
So you lied?

Wish i had those VT5 fan from Philippines 🙂
My issue with it is I do not have it... :-) it now crazilly cost US$ 1,100 here in the Philippines... :-) Hence I am nit willing to buy it... :-(
Kumusta kaibigan hahaha lets play with your amazing Voltes V DX 😃
Voltes V sword Is Called The Heaven Sword! "TENKUKEN"
Hello, can you please tell me how big is this DX version vs the 40th anniversary, since you have reviewed both. Thank you.
You can change the white ears into red there has an extra ears!
The only issue i have is with the locking clip on the side when transforming the volt bomber... i was hoping that you would show a "proper" way of clipping it??
I was able to do it but it took quite some time because i don't wanna scratch or break it.
Btw, this is Leo Lopez, your bassist fan from the Philippines!

Best robot of Chokogin ever.
Great review of a nice bot😀

The landing gear of the frigate must be hide to lock in place
At last ! Nice quick review. I love mine but also have issues:
- bomber articulation loose for the right shoulder
- many thin scuff marks on the blue plastic (due to transport ?), a bit on some of the grey (waist & shoulders)
- the same issue with the right ankle but not as bad as yours though. There must be a way to fix it, a screw somewhere.

Despite all this, I still think this DX is a must have. Got mine from Anime Export (JP) and have asked for a replacement of my Bomber, but I'm not very optimistic.
Was this rushed? Or different factory? Too many problems I see. Very rare for Bandai especially on a premium product
@@RocketPunchArmy its probably rushed. he wasnt supposed to be the fourth dx. its grendizer. look at the next dx.. its gaiking. they gone bck to the original soc chronological order.
My issue is the on and off switch doesn’t turn off and it drains the battery in just a couple of days...
I am not familiar with this robot, but I must admit that it is a wonderful figure.
PD: your logo robot looks like the lost son between mazinger z and getter poseidon xD.
700 dollars for an imperfect figure. Glad mine was ok.
Is this the only way to get soul of chogokin voltes or is there a cheaper option without all the sounds?
Dope!!! Worth any dimes.....anyway.
I hav the original popy dx one ... Its far more better ..but for this new one its fit for the new collector
robosen should make these toys
Just got mine yesterday and wasn't planning on opening it....sealed brown box. By the way, is there a batch number on these to know manufacturing dates or it doesn't matter as it's only a first short run and that's it.
loVe it
How does this differ from the 40th anniversary version? Thanks.
This is a much bigger version, completely different version altogether
5 is the tenkuken scene? thanks
Dairugger fighting formation...ON!!!! Oops wrong robot!😉
How do you compare this to the DX soc combattler V? which one feel more DX and premium ?
If the SOC was bigger it would probably be more premium but at that size some things have to be compromised. But size does make a difference in feel.
Of all the dx chogokin released, which do you think is the best?
Didn't think that would be hard to answer but I think my favorite is still Mazinger Z
who needs sleep anyway lets go!

Damn I missed out on this One :( It's doubled now. It was expensive already when it was Pre-Ordered :(

Around 12 imxhes tall ?
Depends what kind, if its display, DX, if its for poseablity prob the Fewture EX gokin
@@RocketPunchArmy thank you..
How about one with the classic look ??
@@rleeroberts6350 i cant think of any 12" tall but the SRC are nice and the GX Mazingers but they are not 12"

Great collectible. But did I miss it or it wasn't pointed out in a graphic, just like in some other reviews, where the die-cast parts were located? :)
I havent done the highlighting of diecast in ages due to time constraints. If I had more time I would love to do it again
Die cast in the joints, part of Helmet & thrusters of the cruiser, the whole chest front piece, back of the thighs, majority of the feet
Kamusta got me subscribed lol.
Wow, how expensive was that purchase?
Almost 600 if Im not mistaken
Bring down the hatch to close the back of the Panzer...
Glad I didn’t buy it , very expensive with issues
Have you tired asking someone with a 3d or resin printer if they can make a new one?
I would need someone to design it. Ibcan do 3D but very basic. Unless someone does it on thingiverse, forget it. Ill just leave red ears on for now.
