Re: Mazinger Z & Super Robots (Shogun Warriors) and other Mecha - Official thread!!
sharing my GX-31V - Voltes V (40th anniversary edition) by bandai
the box is made of thin carton, only the back side shows the toy and some of the package content, the front has a gold lettering and a "shadow-like" picture of the mecha
you get two box, inside the styro it houses the vehicles and the tray plastic contains the accessories and weapon rack to be assembled
to form the robot, a V-formation is done by the team to start the volt in sequence ( along with the theme song)
crewzer one is piloted by steve armstrong , eldest of the armstrong siblings , it forms the head of voltes v
bomber two is piloted by mark gordon, a texan rodeo champion and adept in using a whip , it forms the arms.
panzer three is piloted by big bert, brother of steve and it forms the chest part
frigate four is piloted by little john, youngest brother of steve and forms the legs
lander five is piloted by Jamie Robinson daughter of military Gen. Robinson of the earth-defense force, it forms the feet
not part of the voltes team, the mechanical eagle is an extra vehicle included, it is used by general watson
to aid the team when a new armor was made by the bozanians against the weapons of Voltes V and it carried
the energy generator that gave the robot extra power to generate the ultra electro magnetic ball in the cartoon
used to weakend the beastfighter armor
this is the weapons rack, it resembles their camp - Camp Big Falcon and mostly holds all the accessories
like extra hands , bazooka, chain knuckles cannon etc.
above the rack, the mechanical eagle can be placed along with the machine part that enhances voltes v energy capacity
also the sword, extra chest piece, finger missile and tops are stored here.
The difference between this version and the original gx-31 was the double jointed elbows, longer tank thread, no sliding hands, improved crotch joint holder and the paint job.
