Mattel has just revealed the first figures from their 2012 Voltron Club Lion Force subscription line. The first lion revealed is the Red Lion and the first figure revealed is Lance! We can see from the pictures that the human counterparts will be able to ride inside of the Lions. Lance also appears to come with an alternate head (one helmeted one without helmet) and a Lion activation key.
The Red Lion will be priced at $35 and Lance will be priced at $15. Lance will be in 3 3/4″ scale and the Lions are said to have one touch transformation figures. Expect the rest of the team to follow suit in 2012!
2012 Club Lion Force First Look
Still on the fence with this one personally. Looks like they've done things pretty well though. Nice that Lance comes with an alternate head, and the activation key is a real nice touch.
Really not a fan of one touch transformation. I can easily foresee a lot of the mechanisms breaking down over the years.. would have greatly preferred manual transformations.
I guess I'm just seeing shades of Power Core Combiners, and how flawed those one touch transformations were on the limbs. For those that don't know, lots of quality control issues there, especially on the first figures.

Need to see more, need to see it....
COMBINED!
Need to see if it can pull off some kick ass poses with the sword of King Jyouken(GO LION FTW!!)

This thing looks simpler than Toynami's Masterpiece Voltron. Admittedly that is not a good sign. I am also worried about the automorph killing the leg articulation. I sincerely hope that is not the case.
The primary thing this has going so far is possibly fall articulation in combined mode, and the shelf presence. At 23 inches combined, this is one huge mofo.
Still wondering what Bandai could come up with should they ever ever decide to make an SOC GO LION.
You are getting a whole new lion figure and action figure for 50$ here, thats an awesome deal i think . And this thing looks like it will be big as hell combined. Count me in on this for sure, can't wait.

In ten years they're going to be yellower than a G1 Jetfire.
i like it.... remember the dimension, i will be very big
I'm interested, but a little apprehensive. The two Go-Lions I already own are pretty good, so I don't know if I really want to drop $250 + shipping to get another one unless it outshines the other two.
Really need to see it combined and also a demo on how the one-touch transformation works. Is it like TFA Activators (still acticulated) or more like DOTM Activators (no articulation)?
