Bandai Lion-O (new gauntlet) first look proto
 

Hey guys well this 2012 Lion-O with new gauntlet, was acquired by LiarDice today. Thought the forum deserved a look. I will be posting much closer different angle pics as soon as it arrives.

Im excited about this figure. Alot of people are hating on it cause its simple, but just a giant claw is bad ass!

Me to think some ppl are turned off by the face but you can always swap the heads from the first version same goes for panthro

I will definately buy Claudus. It will be I yet eating to know when these will show up in the UK. No doubt our luck Xmas 2012!
If their at the London Toy fair I'll report on any news and interrogate the Bandai reps who stand around the cabinets like guarding the crown jewels!

A few more Bandai 'First Shots' of already in production figs.

Not a huge fan of the big claw, but Claudus looks cool.

I guess big claw gauntlet because of last episode

I'm not a fan of this new Lion-O because of how ugly the claw shield is. If it was screen-accurate it would look good, but as-is it's really bad imho. I'm hoping the inevitable 6" version gets it right.

no 6inch = no buy.

I'm still a little thrown off by the proportions, but it's growing on me. I'll definitely pick it up.

No one else noticed the Tygra proto has waist articulation?
