Of all the shows on Netflix, Voltron is my ALL-TIME-FAVORITE!!! I love this show because it is awesome but also because I had the pleasure of visiting DreamWorks Animation to meet the creative team behind the series and I even got to meet my voice-over hero, Josh Keaton!! and we had a great conversation together. I also got to voice his character, Shiro in a little segment of the show! So, I am always excited when another season drops for this show. The Paladins of Voltron have come so far since the beginning of the series. Now things are getting more dire. The paladins have aligned themselves with Prince Lotor and that may prove to be a fatal mistake. You can watch the trailer here and tell me what you think below.
This afternoon I decided to unbox all of my remaining Classic Voltron Lions. I received the green and blue lions from Playmates Toys. I did a review of the blue and green classic Voltron lions on the blog at back in January.
These Voltron ’84 lions are part of Playmates line of Voltron toys. I was in Target and saw that they put the last three figures on Clearance. I had to complete the set. I’ve been eager to unbox the remaining three lions and form the Classic Voltron of 1984. These toys are inspired by the Netflix series Voltron ’84 which is the classic series with intros from people who are working on Voltron: Legendary Defender, the new series on Netflix.
There is another series of Voltron figures that are out there, too. These are the five lions for Voltron: Legendary Defender and Toys R Us has a boxed set but it has not hit a deep enough discount to go and pick it up. Once it does I’ll try and grab it so I can compare the two. There is also another powered up set that is coming out later this year. The lions are going to be powered up by quintessence. Lots of translucent blue accents. They look fantastic!
For now, take a look at my live unboxing video and below that more details on this series of Voltron toys.
Combine all five Classic Legendary Lions to form a fully-articulated 16″ Classic Voltron figure with a chest that lights up and unlock over 60 sounds from the original 1984 show!
Each lion is fully articulated, with the Blue, Red, Green, and Yellow
Lions including jaw blades and projectile firing battle accessories.
Also, the Red Lion comes with Voltron’s sword and the Green Lion comes with Voltron’s shield.
The Classic Legendary Black Lion has electronic lights and features over a dozen phrases and sound effects from the original 1984 show. Unlock the Black Lion’s 60+ sounds by assembling the 16″ Classic Voltron figure.
The Black Lion transforms into the head and body of Voltron, while the four other Classic Legendary Lions transform and combine to form Voltron’s arms and legs.
