I haven't seen Rodimus either... but I wasn't looking... bah.. I resisted getting the Japanese release so long.. then finally came across a good deal in Japan and got it. The NEXT day I find out about the 2.0 version with corrections and then I hear about the US release... and that after the let down of the newest MP being another plain Prime. Damn you Takara!
But about Joes, I've gone to a totally online theory. I haven't seen new figs at retail in such a long time. Target is hit/miss on past waves but TRU are not even stocking figs anymore in my area. Skystrikers are $40 there too. Yikes. |

Club Lion Force on Mattycollector.com is starting to look miiiiiighty tempting. WHY DID THEY HAVE TO MAKE THEM 3.75" scale? WHY?
Somebody talk me down off the ledge. Remind me how utterly terrible all of Mattel's 3.75" lines are.

Or maybe Pidge was just voiced by a chick in GoLion. I tried digging up some details on that which I had heard once upon a time and couldn't find any. Sorry for any confusion. /o\

Let's just focus on the name for now... Pidge.
say it slowly now... Pidge. I loved Voltron, I'm not gonna be messin with Voltron, how can you dispute a sword swinging five lion robot... but .. Pidge? really? They could have named the character Cabinet, Awning, or even Honey Glaze and it would have been an improvement. |

How could anyone ever think that a character with a hair beret was a dude? I mean, yeah, the Voltron Cartoon really screwed that up for the stateside folks but even as a kid I figured that Pidge was a girl.
Wesitron hooked me up with a TRU Rodimus and I have to say that Hasbro really did one up Takara with the Target Master and the better paint scheme. Except for the lower legs, I don't know why they went with red on the Hasbro version. But overall, much nicer than the Takara release. Darker, true red and his back clips together properly. Now all I need is a second one for car mode. |

I hope you are just joking about Pidge being a girl, because Pidge is a boy...effeminate, but a boy.
The only thing about Voltron that is cool is the robot and the 5 minutes when Votron actually decides to create the blazing sword and destroy whatever monster he was toying with up until the point they make the blazing sword. I guess the cartoon would be stupid if they just made the blazing sword then the credits roll after a few minutes or less.

What I had heard was the gender was switched during the US conversion. I repeated it because it was in the spirit of the thread, then got curious and tried to look it up. Looks like I was fed a line. Still, funny responses though.
I've been keeping an eye out for MPHR, no luck yet. |
