Pretty boring. I guess now that everything will be out in a few days they have no reason to care about it anymore.

Could you put the watermarks somewhere else instead of across the figures' faces?

The automorph gimmick killed these for me. Way too boxy. I'd have rather seen them more streamlined, and greater articulation on the lions.
Sadly, I had more interest in the defunct Voltron Force toys. That... kinda defeats the purpose for the watermarks.

More streamlined? They look exactly the way they do in the anime, which is what makes them far superior to any other versions from a design aspect. I do agree about the articulation and spring gimmick. As for VForce, no thanks. The show was a travesty and an insult to the Voltron brand.

The quality of the actual product is crap. The paint sucks and the lions are really cheap. Way over priced for what you get. I spent a lot of money on the subscription and am pretty dissapointed. Other matty stuff is pretty good, these are close to knock off dollar store transformers. It could have been so much better. Maybe custom paint is in order.

Lance was good then it all went down hill for me. The Pidge I got is really bad. Still waiting on Keith and the black lion, hopefully it looks okay.

I don't like Pidge's glasses and the small neck on Hunk, but Alura and Sven look awesome. Plus, they are the best incarnations of these characters we will ever get. I just wished Mattel would release a Lotor/Zarkon/Hagar 3 pack since I need my villains.

Is there anything you actually *do* like? You've turned every thread I've seen all weekend into a solid bitchfest, bitching and moaning about how godaweful everything is, and trashing things others are pretty pleased with.
We get it. You hate stuff. Lighten up, bro. Just because you don't like or know who captain marvel jr is, doesn't mean his fans shouldn't be allowed to have him after wanting him so badly for years. Just because you hated Voltron Force doesn't mean other fans feel it's a travesty. That's a slap in the face to everyone. So state your opinions, but stop your nerdraging. And that's what it's boiled down to. Just your nerd rage BS. When you settle down, you have interesting things to say and I like you, so I really don't want to put you on ignore, but I'm pretty much done with seeing you repeatingly spamming threads multiple times just to bitch incesently about the same thing.

Meh, no Voltron Force 6'' voltron means I'm not bothering. I have no desire for the classic voltron, and I prefer the redesigned versions anyway for more variety.
Makes me wish I picked up the 6'' stealth voltron figure way back when. Oh well. |

The automorph, like Crazy Jetty mentioned, killed this for me too. I would have preferred more proportionate lions with articulated legs, so that the lions could be posed a lot more. Instead it is obvious that Mattel was aiming to prioritize the combined mode.

That's how watermarks work. It's unfortunate, but nessisary.

The purpose of a watermark is to prevent people from stealing an image and taking credit for it. If you take the watermark off the part of the picture you're trying to protect, then you may as well not have it at all.

I don't particularly see your problem, they're not distracting, and they're not really intrusive, either.
