I received some incredibly exciting Voltron news yesterday. Netflix has a special series called Voltron ’84 and it is great to see those classic shows with new intros by the current cast and creators of Voltron Legendary Defender. We love Voltron Legendary Defender in our home and I’ve even got the kids to check out the classic show because of it. But as of now they haven’t been able to play with or even see the classic Voltron lions because, well, I never had any. Of all the great toys and games of the 80’s I was in the Transformers camp and therefore not in the Voltron camp and so I never had those toys. Much of this had to do with how the TV stations were set up in that time. Yes, there was a time before cable TV and you had to be close enough to a station to get the signal and so we did not get the signal for the channel that had Voltron at my home. I could only see it at my cousins’ house. So I barely ever saw the show. It is hard to have a huge connection with a show if you only get to see it every couple of months and not even full episodes. But, that all changes in January!!
This January stores will begin carrying the Voltron Classic ’84 Legendary Lions! They lions look spectacular and I cannot wait to see them and play with them. What’s more I really want to be able to form the classic Voltron in all his 16″ glory!
I’m so excited for this! Look at how awesome Voltron looks! This will also be the most advanced Voltron toy ever. When you combine all 5 Classic Legendary Lions to for the 16″ Classic Voltron you can unlock over 60 sounds like phrases and sound effects from the classic show. Voltron’s chest also lights up and each lion comes with additional accessories including jaw blades and projectile firing battle accessories. Check out the Yellow Lion and accessories.
The Red Lion comes with Voltron’s sword and the Green Lion comes with Voltron’s shield. The Black Lion has over a dozen sounds and phrases. There is a ton to unpack in this news and I certainly look forward to unboxing this whole set to share with you in January! They will be $17.99 each for the Blue, Green, Red and Yellow Classic Legendary Lions and $29.99 for the Black Classic Legendary Lion. Now here’s a look at each of the lions on their own.
From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend. The legend of Voltron, Defender of the Universe! A mighty robot, loved by good, feared by evil! Now you can take control of all five Lions from the classic television series. This line features all new technology, which means that all five of the Classic Legendary Lions combine to create the most advanced Voltron ever!
