Finally after spending my time on eBay since eBay was an eBay I finally able to own one of the most Pinoy Kids and kids at heart like me dream on, an action figure of Voltes V. It was on December 2006 when I got a chance to visit the Philippines to see my family and friends their. In my curiosity to know what’s the hottest toys their, in my chance to go to the Mall I visited my Favorite comics and toys store their and I was so surprise to see a Voltes V figure on the display shelves and I ask how much is it, Wow! 10,000 pesos around CAN$250 I have no idea of Soul of Chogokin back then but because it was worth a fortune to me so I don’t buy it but instead I go to eBay and try to look for prizes, just to get some idea. And since my pocket is not that much to spend for that I try to pass for now and settle myself for a Zoids MadThunder which only cost me around $50 and make my Christmas gift to myself a rewarding enough to say

I can say my patience paid off when I saw this Voltes V in a Toys Store here in Vancouver on Sale for only $180 including the 20% discount, it was really a steal for me. So I decided the wait is over, enough is enough . I know just having it now was a long wait but the feeling was still so rewarding for me and the exciting to hold it was so real. I remember the time when I creating a Voltes V figure made of cigarettes carton. So I’m sharing to you guys my joy of owning one of this rare toys (for Filipino) which I also make a video in my YouTube account. You can visit my YouTube account here. It was also a good thing that the toys store that I visited sell this because it’s been release a long time ago, in May 2006. Anyway maybe that’s why it was on sale.

Voltes V is really a phenomenon anime show on the 70’s and re-issue a couple of times on Philippines prime time show. I can say I’m the second generation of Voltes V fans, because on the first time it was air in the Philippines I was just a baby then, so definitely I’m not that old . If you wonder if I open it and playing it, I can say just watch the video if you got a chance and for info I let my son to play it for a while (under my supervision), taking pictures of him ( reminiscing my childhood life, if I was him).

Well anyway enjoy the video as much as enjoy my toy, also by watching it and not by playing it maybe sometimes, I try to bring back my childhood when no one is around. The latest version of Voltes V which is release by Soul of Chogokin, The original is by Bandai Japan which already cost around US$1,500 on eBay when it was last posted a year ago.
