>>6118381>The thing can't even stand straight in combined mode without the risk of leaning forward.That's certainly another issue, and a needless one since all they needed to do was have the ratchets positioned differently to combat the lean, but you can get him in a sturdy pose with arms extended, so I think the gimmick is still the main thing holding this back.
It's my only complaint about the individual lions, and beyond the knees of the combined mode, it's my only real gripe with the combined Voltron. I wish the legs folded more accurately, the belt buckle was rectangular, and black lion's jaw went into the body so Voltron had a longer face, but those are fairly nitpicky complaints in the grand scheme of things.
Ultimately if this toy were identicle, minus the gimmick, I'd be pretty thrilled with it.
