Make Roller skates out of it
Everybody love the lions but Vehicle Voltron (Dairugger) was my favorite of the three
Same
3?
Three?
@@lancemalcomson4414 apparently yes. There is a third. Warrior voltron or something
Third one is 3 humanoid robost combines and becomes voltron
Love those Beavis and Butthead laughs
Lets watch them in the MTV reruns along with Daria.

Wow. So cool! Thanks for the great review! This thing is totally worth the price. Unfortunately I'm too poor to afford it. It's nice to live vicariously through your reviews though. :)
How much are these?
Mine's on the way from BBTS. Can't wait to set it up next to GX-71!
Huge respect for Bandai because they also recognized dairugger XV as voltron vehicle team, because during my childhood the only thing that I know is vehicle and lion Voltron instead of golion and dairugger XV.
Shout out toToyDojo, was on the waitlist, they emailed yday (my 40th bday) to see if I wanted a cancelled PO......hell yeah! Shipped already. 🍻
Nice review mate.
Gavin F:I get lazy once a company says it’s out of stock but gives u a chance to “sign up” for notifications of “next availability”,cool that u got it 👍
Didn't know they still made this it's my favorite Voltron
im gld they are bringing these back from decades of what we grew up with
Me and my Husband are Robot Collectors. We go only for Bandai Tamashii Brand because they have articulation and Livery. Always Accurate and near Perfection! They last long too. Really good for Investment because the price even its pricey, the Quality is good!
Agreed, you get what you pay for.
Ginger was the name of the red jet pilot
Would've been badass if DaiRugger uses Ruggers 14 and 15 as roller skates
"Ya can't roller skate in a robeast herd
Ya can't roller skate in a robeast herd
No, ya can't roller skate in a robeast herd
But you can be happy if you've a mind to"
Can you make a dissamble video it always feels like I’m going to break things to dissamble.
I jelly as fug
So sad we cant make real toys anymore I own the original its heavy metal and shoots actual projectiles -don't swallow .
Yah, i wished i had bought the model like that long time ago. I always had other more pressing issues to have to spend money on ,so i never got to buy the really nice version.
I agree the 1980s lion and vehicle Voltrons were made out of metal.They were heavy and huge
Dairugger is a better show than GoLion.
*Robot Chicken brought me here*
Interesting how this figure is from a adult themed anime which became the second season after being heavily edited for American T.V. and was originally intended to precede the lion version.
Always liked the Vehicle Voltron better than the Lion because of being more in space. I admit the a few of the single vehicles were never much to look at but always loved the combined vehicle forms for each team especially the combined mode of the sea team. And what else is their to say always thought all the vehicles combined into this version of Voltron was always awesome. The lions are no slouch either.
I had the original in th 80's and i loved going back and forth from robot to vehicles. now this has the articulation that i wanted too, this is awesome!
Well put. I always liked the looks of the original and am so happy they didn't take too many new liberties with the appearance of the SOC.
Man, i always drooled over the large voltron and Dairugger figures back in the 80s,when i went with my mom to ToysRUs. It was like when all the Japanese Giant Robot flood started with Shogun warriors and transformers.
I did though get a Fang of the Sun, Dougram(sp?) 8-9" diecast model kit back then, it was one of the early ones that had loads of metal parts in the core body and it came with lots of detailed armor body parts and accessories, like you could dismantle the legs and there was like the mechanical hoses and working pistons and coil springs and little cast details. It has really tough joints that actually hold the limbs in solid poses.
I have been wanting to find its opposing mech enemy ,the soltek?, i cant remember, anyway the one also model from the 80s series.
The weird thing back then the Fang of the Sun models came in packaging that had nothing but Japanese and other asian writing but no English, lol, but thats what made it even more amazing and exotic and cool as i always liked those old Japanese monster movies and JarJaguar robot hero,so seeing those boxes just was very cool.
However i never even knew what the heck the figures were from as i couldnt translate the printing until just a couple years ago i found info about the old anime series on youtube and finally figured out what it was.
Another great video. Finally pulled the trigger and ordered this today. I know Golion is way more popular but as a Bot I think this is a great design.
#2 is zeppelin inspired
What a beautiful Voltron
The long wait is over 😁
My wife got me Dairigger GX-88 for Father’s Day! Best Father’s Day ever!
Thats an awesome gift!
Go lion was the better cartoon , but this guy is the better bot
In terms of design, paint, detail, and accesories, the GX-88 is superior in every way to the Miracle version.....the one HUGE, glaring exception being no rotation on the elbows, which means the forearms will always be facing forward. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's a MAJOR oversight on Bandai's part. I expect better from a piece that retails at over $300USD.
Great review! I just got mine and it was really helpful in putting this together👍🏾
Beautiful piece. The only gripe I have is the forearms have to be fixed into that one position and can’t be turned sideways. It just looks weird to me. When the hand is turned to the side, I feel like the whole car should be turned with it. Seems odd that they didn’t engineer it to turn either way. At first I thought it was them being faithful to the line art, but the line art and anime show the forearms turned in relation to the hands, so….why???? Still an amazing piece.
This version of Dairugger XV is an instant classic, Awesome, great review!!Chachi it's great to have you back!!!!Thank you!!
i've been waiting for this one... :D thanks for the review
Is the die cast Go Lion Voltron @26:34 still available to buy anywhere for retail? Also, do you have a review of it on your channel? Thanks.
THis voltron gives more of a megazord feel
The robot is gorgeous but the individual vehicle are not good. Maybe I am looking for more details.
This cartoon was better than the lion version in my opinion.
Agree but most people will disagree.

Multi-vehicled forming Super robots, always annoy me in some sense. Because if one vehicle is damaged, the robot can't function properly. Especially 15 of them!!!
They say FREE, BUT at the end there asking for 999.00, one payment and the two more payments
I finished watching all the episodes of Vehicle Voltron & loved it so much I just had to watch Dairugger. This collectable is a masterpiece.
Miracle had a few versions. The v1, which is the one you have, was kinda rushed out and had some tolerance issues. Then after getting feedback Miracle went back, retooled a bunch of stuff, and released the v2 which had a sticker on the box saying "improve version". It was a LOT better and had the pull down platforms on the feet to keep him from running away on you. I think there may have been another revision later on, but it wasn't really as huge of a leap in change from the v1 to v2.
Awesome review! Thanks again for this. Been watching the show again. Bandai really should of promoted the gx-71 the way they did this.
Love these guys. I wish they would had remake these toys as much as the lion voltrons not the dream work lions. I got the 24" legendary classic voltron
Been looking for my cooler 4:46
Anyway great picture quality and effort!
I'm pretty sure this figure is for serious collectors only and is not meant to be used as a toy.
now we just need an SOC Albegas and we'll have all three Voltrons back together again.
Four. Daltanias was what they meant to buy instead of GoLion. They didn't get Daltanias and never got around to Albegas except for the toys.
@@LatitudeSky Daltanius has a SOC figure now, I own it. So now we just need Albegas to complete the set.
too bad you don't also have Voltron of the middle universe, Albegas
Now that I have both, I'll simply call Miracle as vintage and SOC as masterpiece. They both have they're + and -, but I love them both. my sentai collector life is now complete :)
i member seeing this at new yorks comic con on display , the kit looked really cool on display
I used to have the original when I was a kid. Was thinking about getting him but he looks a little on the small size. How tall is he? Looks around 11-12 inches
Yeah 12 inches is about right. Not as tall as original but worlds better in everything else
Never knew this voltron version 🙀
Vehicle Voltron was always better.
Remind me doing child hood love old cartoons u got beautiful pieces there love it
Dont think I’ve ever seen a how to disengage video from anybody, since it’s so hard to do so
Game Stop had him on clearance for $215. But none near me. :(
Nice review and great figure! Would you be Incline to do a separation (detransformation) video of this massive robot? So that we don't pull / push the wrong way while taking him apart? Excellent job again!
Sounds like a good idea!
freaking beautiful. really considering getting one
The First, really really bad version of the Miracle had spring plates on the bottom that would take the load off the wheels and in theory prevent it rolling. V2 and V3 skipped that, but fixed all the other problems. It looks like yours is a V2. Honestly I think the Bandai looks a bit better, just for better paint and color. But they are both excellent with fantastic sculpt and design. GX-88 is a worthy partner for GX-71.
Can confirm this as I have the V1, they dont work well at all so might be why they skipped it later on.
one more good thing for this release is we can again watch dairugger xv anime hahaha
I always thought the blue main piece was like an RV
DreamWorks Animation now owns the copyrights to Voltron.
Its licensed to Dreamworks
7:44 darn it. You made me giggle lmao 😂😂😂
Ban Dai Blue means 'Ban Dai Spirits'.
I finally got mine coming next week
beautiful video , i really enjoyed it
I would like to make the feet part into roller skate
You're really not a fan of the Anime, aren't you, Sir......? #InnocentIgnorance
Ive only watched the Voltron version and as an adult its increasingly difficult to sit through an episode. I have Dairugger on DVD but have yet to watch it because time is short. But I love the robot. It was my first Voltron.
Bandai GX71 the best!!
Spinning Lazer blades
Voltron was clearly the inspiration for the Power Rangers.. I wonder why they did not make a Voltron series like the Power Rangers??
Yes it was. A complete rip off
How is it a ripoff when the original show the Power Rangers was made from came out in Japan in1975?
@@winton3377 I see the Voltron Lions or GoLion as it was and then I see Power Rangers in 1993. I know who took inspiration from who!! The tragedy is we have not had a well done Voltron Movie. The Voltron TV Series on Netflix proves there is one hell of a story potential there.
@@violet-kittychick Himitsu Sentai Gorenger came out in 1975, Golion came out in 1981. Super Sentai predated Golion by 6 years.
@@InfernoDragon1 Was any of that known in the USA, the UK or Australia at the time? No it was not and I will say it again.. Voltron was clearly the inspiration for what **we** would later know as Power Rangers that first aired in Australia on August 28, 1993 which was well after Voltron aired and finished its series on our TV channels. We are both right from our own points of view however where I come from we have had little or none of what you are mentioning above. Our Western adoption and subsequent adaption of Transformers (Micromen), Voltron (GoLion) and Power Rangers (Super Sentai) is what turned these series from Asia into the global phenomenon that we now know and the franchises that exist today otherwise they would be little known Asian Cult TV Series that would have come and gone as they fell to the wayside of history. What was happening in Asia on their TV networks is not what we have received on our Western TV networks and there is two forms of history here.. the Asian history we know little about and the history that we experienced or know because it is what happened for us. So again, we are both right and neither of us are wrong. I remember reading somewhere, I think it was with Power Rangers that the people who went to Asia collected the wrong footage from the wrong TV Series and when they scampered home with it the producers loved what they saw so much they forgave their minions and so Power Rangers was born into Western Culture by a mistake.
Beavis and Butthead knows it.
I had this when I was a kid. wish i would have took care of it
I don't know. I thought this Voltron is cooler than the Lions since it has actual hands. The spinning laser blades are nicer looking as well as a cooler way of forming the blazing sword.
$400! Wish I bought the Miracle one back then. Gotta start saving up I suppose.
Hi, where did you Buy It???
Haw is that voltroz
Badass voltron!
I don't watch very many reviewers before doing mine on something, but always yours, dude, because I love hearing your joy over this stuff in particular. Great review, and can't wait to pick up mine on Monday! New lights rock, btw. LEDS always make this stuff pop I have three set up currently and need to do one more, but just my space is tight.
Thanks! Yeah I think one more light in front and im all set. These lights take up 75% of my room as it is lol
The review you just did on both soul of chogokin voltrons was excellent.
Ultra Cool!!!😎
Cornholio!!!
5 was ginger
Nice!
8:30 yamet~e!
Hay Sweet
I have just collected my today, it's very cheap now I bought it below @$400.00 SGD. Great chogokin, thanks for the great review and transformation guide. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
Always dream having this!... Now can't afford one !😂😂😂🤘. Cool stuff homie!...🤙👍👍
It Brings my childhood memory back. Awesome. Thanks dude
You think Blitzway will come out with a Voltron 1?
Highly doubt it
Hi I'm new to these and my husband loves Voltron. Is this a voltron or not. Probly stupid question
Yes this is part of the Voltron line of robots. He's either a fan of this Vehicle one, the Lion Force one or both tberes also a 3rd one that isnt as popular made of 3 robots that combine
@@RocketPunchArmy ok cool. I just got him this one and will now purchase the lions. Thanks
I’m Disappointed by the red jet plane chest piece.A tleast the MMW (Miracle Metal Works) version that was totally put out there by a third party company,had the red jet made of pure die cast and the wings actually bended nicely in the edges.Anyone?
Edit:forgot to mention,also,on the miracle metal works version of this,oftenly found on eBay,the “feet” aka the Ford bronco yellow and brown cars are heavy on the hand from,u guessed it,die cast metal which makes them cool and... _respectable_
This is classical 80's style
Excellent video!
I have an unrelated question (wasn’t sure how else to contact you and ask): the 3-inch diecast Shogun Warriors figures... are they also Japanese imports or were they made by Mattel for the line? Unlike the other Popy products Mattel imported, I can’t seem to find Japanese versions of those smaller figures. Thanks!
my thumb broke (no cracks b/c there actually two pieces glued together) off while trying to shove the spear in.. when I examined it closely I noticed there is a friction tab on the thumb so it can connect to the hand but really does not work. Not sure why bandai made the sword hands two pieces as this is an obvious weak point when accessorizing.
So strange.. how did you manage to get the upper torso and head on with the backpack tracks turned vertically in robot mode?
I did the same after following you and the head would not clip in at all. I tried with the head and upper torso clipped in first and then the mid torso but now the head would pop out like it was spring loaded...hahaha i was worried QC issues for a second there but then I turned the tracks horizontally the way it originally came out the box and that seem to do the trick.
This is very special piece, imo feels better in the hand then the golion for some reason. And when the toy is not anime accurate because it looks even better ahhh so jealous this gen has all the nice toys too bad they won't be able to afford them tho :(
I actually liked this Voltron better than the lions. Loved this toy to death. And I mean, eventually the plastic clips holding his knees together broke and he'd no longer hold together. That was the stage of my life where I was taking my toys apart to see how they worked. Impossible for an eight year old to find replacement parts in 1984.
I dont get it, he said he is excited to have this robot but never saw the cartoon ??!! and yet he criticizes every single vehicule their looking and how they are built. What a hypocrite !!
What does that have to do with watching the cartoon? I owned and loved the original toy as a kid and watched the few episodes that came on TV and even then I thought the vehicles looked funny and the show didnt resonate with me. Nothing to do with not liking it. Your using the word hypocrite wrong. Maybe you meant contradictory but even then Its not accurate. I own the DVDs and no I cant bear to watch it more than a few episodes so no I didnt watch all of it but how does that affect my liking of it if I have an attachment to the robot design? The vehicle modes look silly to me. Do I hate them? No. So explain how thats being a hypocrite?
@@RocketPunchArmy sorry. then a new word. phony
@@titiosi well if thats the opinion you get from my video, thats fine. The majority of my viewers dont think so. But thanks for watching anyways. We can't all be fans.
How tall is this when put together?
29cm, 11.5"
I always liked the "vehicle" Voltron best...
This is a great review and I want to buy this version of Voltron (Vehicle Voltron). This looks well-made, not to mention the numerous hands and weapons that he comes with!
I enjoyed the cartoon I do have the original and all the friction motors work.
Great video! You are my #1 SOC reviewer. I'm so happy you dig this guy and that he turned out so well.
Thanks, that means a lot to me
