We received a package of new Voltron Metal Defender series toys from Playmates Toys to play with and review. These are my opinions alone.

I have to admit, I was walking the aisle of Target and saw that there were these new Metal Defender Voltron lions out for sale. These were diecast metal lions that combine to for Voltron. I saw that there was a set with all five of the lions together and so I asked my contact at Playmates Toys if I could get one to review. I did not get that one, instead I got a box that had all five individual lions in separate boxes. This was perfect! I was super excited wen I got home and they were there. These were the Voltron Toys I’d been waiting to see made. These lions work together to form an 8 inch Voltron. You can see how they all go together in my video below and then I have some photos of each lion and Voltron below.

For the foreseeable future pretty much everything will be about Guardians of the Galaxy. When I went on my trip a week or so ago I got to see the movie The Guardians of the Galaxy. It was an amazing movie and I can’t wait to see it again. I’ve been consuming everything I can regarding the team and I was lucky enough to receive a huge box of Guardians of the Galaxy toys including a Star-Lord figure. I now have two figures. The larger figure I got from my trip. The figure has lights and sounds including the actual voice of Chris Pratt (My interview with him going live this Monday). The smaller figure is from the Marvel Legends Infinite Series. It came with an extra head and additional accessories. I have to collect the full line of Guardians of the Galaxy figures to get the figure of Groot. There is a piece of Groot in with each of the other characters.
