With Comic-Con International: San Deigo coming up July21-24, Bandai and their Tamashii Nations have teased a figure of Voltron with chogokin die-cast elements.
Voltron was World Events Productions and Toei’s localization of Beast King GoLion and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV.
“Chogokin” (“super alloy”) is the manga equivalent of Marvel Comic’s adamantium, introduced as the building block for the pioneering piloted mech Mazinger Z. In the ’70s, “Chogokin” also became Bandai’s Popy brand’s name for die-cast metal figures.
