Bandai Spirits shared a new webpage showcasing the Robot Spirits action figure based on Voltes V: Legacy. The company also revealed that it will release the action figure worldwide in February 2025 with a price tag of 11,000 yen (~$71.30).

The action figure will stand at around 15.5 cm (~6.1 inches) tall. The set will include more equipable armaments, such as the Voltes Bazooka, the Super Electromagnetic Tops with its strings, and the Heaven Sword—which is also known in the Philippines as Laser Sword. The package will also have alternate hand parts for the robot figure to hold the above items.

Here are some of the sample images for the new Voltes V Robot Spirits action figure:

The company will use the 2023 Philippines-made live-action adaptations of Voltes V as a basis for this new action figure. Toei will bring the movie version of Voltes V: Legacy to theaters in October 2024 and also the television series in Fall 2024 in Japan.

The Robot Spirits <Side Super> action figure of Voltes V from Voltes V: Legacy will be available worldwide in February 2025. Bandai Spirits will open pre-orders for the new action figure on August 1, 2024.

The Philippines-made live-action adaptation of Voltes V will formally make its way to Japan in late 2024. Toei has announced that it will release Voltes V: Legacy first as a movie in theaters across Japan on October 18, 2024. The company will also air an edited version of the television series on the Japanese channel Tokyo MX in Fall 2024. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

The Japanese company will thus bring both Voltes V: Legacy – The Cinematic Experience which premiered in the Philippines in mid-April 2023 and the 90-episode television series which originally aired on GMA Network from May to November 2023. The movie will be available in Japan in two versions: one with the original Tagalog voiceovers and Japanese subtitles, and the other with Japanese dubs.

Toei has published a special movie on YouTube, but it is geo-locked to Japan only. The company also attached a video combining scenes from the original 1977 anime with the newer live-action adaptation on the title's Japanese X that is also more widely available to watch:

As a side note, Toei confirmed the Japanese release of Voltes V: Legacy right on the 47th anniversary day of the original anime's first episode airing on June 4, 1977. Meanwhile, Bandai has released a Shokugan Modeling Project kit of the original Voltes V robot. The latter also confirmed plans to release new figures based on the live-action adaptation.

Voltes V: Legacy will be available in Japan first as a movie in theaters on Friday, October 18, 2024. Toei will also air the TV series on Tokyo MX in Fall 2024.

Bandai released a Shokugan Modeling Project plastic model kit of Voltes V. The kit is now available to purchase at stores across Japan with a price tag of 9,350 yen (~$63).

The kit will first let the owner construct the five machines that constitute the Voltes V. They are the Volt Crewzer, Volt Bomber, Volt Panzer, Volt Frigate, and Volt Lander. But other than the Voltes V, the owner can also reconfigure the machines to form the Heavy Tank Mode.

The package also includes stickers and additional parts for the completed Voltes V, including the signature Heaven Sword. As the Japanese term Shokugan can mean 'food toy' or 'candy toy,' Bandai completes the set with a soda-flavored gum.

Super Electromagnetic Robot Voltes V is a classic super robot anime show that first aired in Japan in 1977. It has also been featured frequently in Banpresto and Bandai Namco's Super Robot Wars crossover game series. The most recent entries that feature the title are the console game Super Robot Wars 30 and the mobile game Super Robot Wars DD.

The anime show also has immense popularity in the Philippines. In 2023, GMA Network released a live-action drama adaptation titled Voltes V: Legacy. Later in the same year, Bandai Spirits confirmed plans to produce a new figure based on the new version by revealing its prototype at Tamashii Nation in November 2023.
