VOLTRON KO (OR 3RD PARTY) MICRO COSMOS MC01 ELVIS

31 Dec 2021

This is my final haul for 2021.

This 3rd Party KO is based on another 3rd Party KO namely Titan Power, which was based on a stylized Voltron design by a Korean designer. There are many reviews online. I'll just share my thoughts on this figure.

Let's talk about the negative first. This toy is a triple changer. It can transform from robot to lions to cubes. There are no problem transforming the limbs lions to cubes as pictured. Only problem is the Black Lion, which has a QC issue - the chest piece just came off. The chest piece doesn't seem to have any sign of breakage. Its just a factory defect. I've check with online Voltron community and some collectors experience the same problem. Due to this problem, the Black Lion can't transform into cube.

For the positives, this is a pretty nice toy with lots of articulation. It has diecast contents - all the lion's jaw, Black Lion's thigh and wings...there may be other diecast parts that I miss out. And the lions comes with their individual weapons. The chest piece snaps in snugly in robot mode and you won't see the defect. The joints are all very tight.
