(More customer reviews)My main disappointment is with the description as "Metallic".
Voltron the concept is awesome. If you're an 80's born kid, you know the nostalgia that you would hope for in a "25th anniversary" Metallic edition. It's like 90's born kids playing with Power Ranger's Megazord in about 10 years from now. But this disappointed.
I had the original metal Voltron when I was younger. The one where you can launch the lions' heads by pressing a button, and where each one could fire a plastic bullet inserted from a different part of each individual lion's body.
This metallic version, I hoped, would replace that since I no longer have it on hand. But this edition is plastic all around. You can tell just by the weight of it. If it looks like plastic, feels like plastic, weighs like plastic...then it's plastic.
Also, this didn't have the cool features of the lion heads being able to be launched via a button nor did this come with plastic bullets or the other neat little intricacies of each lion. It just comes with the Sword and Shield.
I would have easily paid more for the real metallic version had this been described as "Plastic". I just wanted to let others know before purchasing this maybe expecting the metal version we may all had while growing up.
