1981 Voltron Die Cast GB-36 (Assembled)

Hey everyone just wanted to make a video of my Voltron that I've had for years. This is a quick video on how to assemble when it becomes one robot. From my understanding the cartoon ran for about 2 years in the early 80s. I remember seeing the commercial for this particular toy and that is the commercial that I put in this video in the beginning. I remember bugging my mom that I wanted this toy so bad and really was not able to get it. Thankfully for eBay, offer up, Facebook marketplace I was able to get one. They currently run around a $100 on eBay so if you want one log on to eBay and get one.

I only had the Black lion plastic one growing up. I was born in 81 so I was very young then. I do remember seeing the original popy one but never was able to get it.

The cartoon has the yellow lion in the left leg position. And red was the right arm. Just fyi.

Nice dude!

I had the complete original plastic version, the best one, but was a little jealous my friend Nathan had the all metal version, Voltron was so cool when I was a kid, Ty for posting

How tall was the metal one? What brand?

[@steveperuski5547]

@@Maidoumurnot I’m not sure what brand but it maybe 10 or 11 inches tall , the cats were pretty small but very detailed, the plastic one I had had the legs that only folded on the body with the clear lids and action figuresI believe his small one had action figures also

I had the original diecast...was so awesome, then I blew it up w fireworks..was a good idea in my 9 year old brain

I never forgave my mother for throwing this set in the garbage when I was 14. Her excuse was I was getting too old for these toys. Many years later I told her a white lie by saying that figure was worth over $10k. She did freak out a little bit, but I confessed to just joke. Sucks though that was my favorite toy.

[@rondoughhowell6442]

I had the different version of the black lion

I learned a lot from your video. I am a wholesale seller of old toys in Japan. What kind of items are popular overseas? Also, are there any guts you are currently looking for? I have an eBay account to trade with.

[@sergiomontes5534]

Can you do a video how to disassemble it please, I don't know how to take it apart especially where the shoulders attached.

[@mybmxandi]

Will do

[@falconxblast]

I don't think 1981 GB-36 came with a sword - I really don't think I would have lost it ... was it sold separately ?

[@Maidoumurnot]

Metal = Diecast

[@kevinpaige4902]

Do the Megazord next

[@mybmxandi]

Will do

[@vsmokethon]

Im so mad i gave this toy to my cousin and he destroyed it

[@boriloco76]

Hate to tell you the bad news that black lion is modified badly ...that the sides are not sealed ...remember you have gb-36....then y&k ,golion,lionbot,jaguarbot and other Chinese knock offs ... the black lion are all different moldingvon the insides . Just tells me they did it wrong to refurbish it ....also rhe belt doesn't match his ear color....has like a mustard yellow color ...

[@mybmxandi]

Lol yeah I modified it. I have 2 but the other one is bad and had to combine the 2 just to have this one somewhat complete 🤷‍♂️
