I'M GONNA SAY IT!! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE PLAYMATES COME OUT WITH A VEHICLE VOLTRON.

[@RoyalKnightVIII]

Could they? That's a lot of individual parts

[@CITYSTARS217]

​​@@RoyalKnightVIII well they are also smaller, so maybe they could release them by team, so basically air team 5 pack, land team 5 pack. You get the idea, how much would they cost? Depends, I can honestly see them only charging a little more for each pack if needed

[@dirtyjawa]

You didn't peg the arms in all the way, that's why you were having trouble with the sound effects. Great, affordable Voltron!

[@rhiannongarl-nabarro2953]

I was wondering if Dan didn't plug them in right because those connections looked really loose

[@kevinsay2492]

Oh Dan. Giving me anxiety for not able to peg that dang arms all the way in. Lol

[@kenzos_creations]

Dan, You can just ship the new one to me since you already have it. 🤣🤣 Good review as always 🤘🤘

[@bobafett2243]

I wouldn’t call it affordable. The collector scalpers are selling them for like 100 a piece. I wish I had that much free time to camp at stores but I have a life, family, and career. Sometimes I think toy companies are shipping directly to these scalpers to take in bigger profit. I will just get my boy the shirt.

[@LRon-ef7ni]

Yes!!!! AFFORDABLE Voltron. Imma cry

[@andrewtaylor940]

I got so lucky back in 2017. Target had put the Dreamworks Voltron Lions on Clearance. But somehow the 2nd wave classic, were on the same SKU, so they went straight to clearance prices. I got them for $9.99 a piece

[@CarlosHernandez-rl2wg]

Same story as my experience. I was worried about being late to the party but reaped the clearance rewards this time.

[@dannycruz5446]

The '84 Voltron set was being sold for $60 at Walmart 4 years ago 😮

[@colt5189]

I wish they'd recreate the original diecast Voltron and put that out.

[@ilkvomit88]

Yeah looking at these in person with the gray plastic when I'm so used to seeing diecast makes them look really cheap and crappy

[@Da_B00GIEMAN]

Check out the Blitzway version of Voltron.

[@Charmander009]

They been doing that for last 10 years , is 10x the price

[@thegreatannoying1]

Yes please

[@Progearspec]

Blitzway,Bandai and Threezero have had there diecast voltrons but the catch is there expensive.

[@sammywestenberger9303]

Happy 40th Anniversary to Voltron!

[@FluffyCajun]

Playmate was upfront from the beginning and said they were reissue. It’s just a great chance for people who couldnt get the original release to finally get it. Although most likely at a higher price.

[@user-dk3up2nl1m]

I was about to say...i already have this!

[@FluffyCajun]

@@user-dk3up2nl1m I thought it looked cool, but never picked it up because I’m not a fan of the connection points for the arms. Look too damn flimsy and breakable. But since you own it, how do you feel about the connectors?

[@user-dk3up2nl1m]

@@FluffyCajun ....its the 85 Voltron from Playmates. I remember buying it right away and later shot up in price on ebay. Atleast it gives new buyers a chance to have it

[@dannycruz5446]

It's actually at the same price as the earlier release.

[@christopherbujalski8517]

Just picked these lions up. I'm very happy with them. Thanks for the video. Can't wait to meet you at Sarge and Reds

[@thunderpunchheman]

I'm glad they're back! Thanks for the info D!

[@kriskenny5481]

Thanks for the video Pixel Dan, I won’t miss out this time because you shared this info. 👏 😃

[@skeptischism1324]

God I remember having the metal ones as a kid. Voltron was probably one of my top three favorite shows that with thundercats, GI Joe, transformers. Those were like to go to is when I was a kid kid.

[@tony56321]

Now I can buy the rest of the lions i could not afford in 2017, oh yeah! 🎉

[@rehanimus]

I always loved how regal the black lion always is, in every iteration. And tbh blue lion is always the second best

[@markdodson8570]

Yeah Dan you do, this is a reissue for those who couldn't get / complete it back in 2017.

[@ToyJesusLovesTequilla]

I remember back in 18 I could not find the red lion to complete my set, I finally found it online on Walmart and when I went to pick it up I got an unexpected surprise… two boxes with my name on them… I tried to tell the nice lady that there must be some mistake and she said oh don’t worry just take them they have your name on them and they had to be shipped here from another location and there was some issue with returning them, so I took my boxes and got lucky. I keep one mint in package as it looks great

[@theangrychristian4012]

Arms aren't pegged all the way.

[@upyoursenator]

I was thinking the same. I have the original release and the arms are pegged in all the way with no issues. It also balances better.

[@KryptonianClone7828]

I can't stop Reminisce about my Past. I loved Voltron Cartoons in the 80s since I was a Kid. I love the New Reissued Voltron Lions Toys. I'm glad they brought it back. It's Definitely a must have. Thanks Pixel Dan for the Info. 🤩😃😁👍👍

[@seibervideo]

I never picked up the last release of these, so definitely would like to get this one. Glad for another chance at this.

[@rangertsune9234]

We need a voltron video game as well

[@luistrak]

What happened to your arm/hand? Wrestling getting rough?

[@Nightshade794]

This is pretty cool. I missed out on this back in 2017.

[@ashnodmtg]

glad someone was able to do a comparison, I have the 2018 version and I wasn't 100% sure if they were the same (mostly the sounds) and I didn't want to pull mine down to check them

[@belmont6444]

So great and awesome Voltron figure, thanks Pixel Dan! Stay heavy and blessings! 🤘

[@emerje0]

Love this set, they were so affordable for what you go before, I'm sure they cost a lot more this time around. I was able to get duplicates on clearance of all but Black and Yellow so I'm definitely going to pick those up.

[@radiofriendlybox]

this just makes me appreciate the ones i had as a kid. wish i had kept them.

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Best review job ever ❤😂

[@jontuell5338]

Thanks for the review

[@Blockaide]

Hey thanks Dude I got my signed Spencer Powers Figure yesterday and it Awesome , thank Man

[@robertonline6543]

Love to see a video of your playsets

[@SteeleCarterable]

I heard you have to put in the red lion first and then the green. Really cool video though, as always, Dan!

[@ftsrecords5052]

Cool… but it will never beat the Matchbox version.. thank god I still have mine 😊

[@warrennewman5325]

Awesome figures dan👍😀

[@Dented_Battle_Armor]

These looks so placticky. I got the Blitzway Carbotix one. That one is amazing and the ultimate one to own

[@georgepasymowski2508]

Great toy. Hope I can find all 5 lions.

[@Supermuttt]

I was never a huge Voltron fan, but i always liked combining robots. Never had the toys but would love to find the set at the right price ar Ollies someday.

[@beatle2064]

I got him today from Target. And he’s glorious. I’ve never had a Voltron toy before and this guy fills the void my childhood had.

[@multigeneralking]

Which target?

[@IMosuGoji]

my dad found the black lion and he’s desperately trying to find the others

[@thetoythief8940]

9:13 I think the way to make that joint look not weird is if we could rotate it to be more flat

[@christisrisen6774]

Lucked out years ago and found this on ebay in perfect condition minus the individual lions weapons. came with the blazing sword, and spinning cutter for 100$!! This version is dope just wish it was white.

[@Tlixrex]

Nostalgic things from old days that is the best types of toys like he-man or tmnt or voltron i really think a re-do of old toys is the best especially if your a fan of toys from the 90s

[@kevbotech238]

Are these already out, or is there a release date?

[@gigashock237wilde7]

It's good to know anyone who missed out on Voltron has another chance at getting the old team. For some reason I think you're not pushing the connections fully in on the shoulders, they seem to stick out too far. If that's on purpose then I guess I'm barking up the wrong tree. Nice review overall, especially for anyone after information about the lion team.

[@carlosaugustosoria4805]

Esta un verdadero lujo Pixel Dan 👌🏻 saludos 💪🏻😎🇦🇷

[@jamesseitz6817]

I had the vintage green and red lion as a kid I never had the black lion or the other ones to make Voltron I wish I did and now it is something to get in to and yes I do remember the cartoon as well

[@HamRadio360]

Dan I wish that playmates would make a Voltron and tmnt crossover.

[@briansoucie1571]

Are they the same as the 2017 legendary defender or the 2017 84 set?

[@ToyJesusLovesTequilla]

I bought one in 2018 and have it built on my shelf. If I can get him cheap enough I will get him so I can do some custom paint work and have them as individual lions on my shelf. Hell I love the packaging so much I might get 2 sets. To keep one boxed, which I don’t usually do.

[@JNY-kn8cu]

Had to get decals for the lions with the numbers on there backs

[@chriscravens4915]

Did you buy those at target before they went out of stock???

[@mouse2689]

I feel like a cool feature would’ve been for the add on pieces like the blades could combine to create the sword

[@nexornator]

somebody knows if this will be carried by AMazon, BBTS or Entertainment Earth for example?

[@francoisregis2155]

A good opportunity to get them they look really nice wonder if we will have them here in 🇨🇦

[@SimpleTricksNonsense]

My Voltron toy experience. Back when we got the diecast Voltron here in the states I was getting $5 a week in allowance. Voltron was $60 and I saved up for 12 weeks to get him. In that version the Red and Green lions used their tails to attach to the black lion. After a couple times of transforming him the retainer in the shoulder of the black lion broke and the tail of the red lion couldn't ever peg in again. Saved for 3 months and the toy broke in about a week.

[@BlueWingedPanther12]

Do they have differwnt date stamps?

[@brianmcdonald3831]

I could’ve sworn my target store got them for the 35th anniversary in 2019 could just be my area getting these a year late to actually coincide with 35yrs and were their version of matty right I only had panosh place Voltron but I’m collecting them now

[@andrewthielmann5342]

It is a great set. I wouldn't re-buy it but certainly am happy with the original release from 2017 or whenever.

[@Kingdom_Comics]

Do we know when and where they will be released?

[@jamessemaj7317]

My 2017 Voltron has the same issue with the red lion I was hoping it would be fixed somehow for the new one

[@edwardstewart6372]

Do the red and green lion heads blast off ?

[@tompatchak8706]

Will look great next to my Voltron Lego set

[@DaBigCheeso]

This looks awesome but it makes me pine for an affordable rerelease of the old Matchbox (I believe) figure from the 80s

[@maybetoby]

Is this only sold in stores again...

[@bee-beargaming]

I to see voltron is getting more love

[@anomalyx7464]

Yeah this is a great Voltron for the money, i have the previous release I might pick this set up to display as the lions. But make sure you peg those arms all the way in they were not pushed in properly Dan on both of your Voltrons...

[@soulcraft_84]

I wish we could get some classic pilot figures, or some figures of the baddies (Prince Lotor, etc.), or how about a Robeast?

[@ultramaximusreviews]

I missed this figure in 2017... I will probably bite it and get him this time around.

[@markheadley125]

Awesome Voltron❤😊

[@tyronebee7209]

I was able to get all 5 Lions at a very deep discounted price at Target. I think I paid under $80 for all 5 of them.

[@IvanRuiz-qh8uq]

Im getting them again. Once to display in lions and one in robot mode.

[@ah08223]

As some1 who dont live in US, is there a way to get them at retail price online?

[@hammbone8184]

I love this set

[@joedumont4546]

Where is everyone getting these? I’m in the northeast and haven’t seen them anywhere.

[@johnwiser71]

These are Target exclusive from my understanding. That means it is hit or miss as I have been on their website to tell me none where available at any nearby location only to go to nearby location to find what was said they did not have.

[@Toxin_12]

Hey pixel Dan! I was wondering if u were going to do a mega man 11 kotobukiya speed build/ review vid!!!

[@vidalrivera7400]

I got the Voltron from 2017. They could have gotten the voice actors from the show for the toy.

[@Maverick5uk]

Hey Dan. You still got that massive Matty Collector Voltron?

[@spargotee]

Cool! I hope BBTS sells this

[@Ins0mniaUWE]

Hallmark are bringing out Voltron decoration for Christmas.

[@pauld5185]

Where do I get them?????

[@vadoraid2517]

BBToys has a completel one in the box, no hunting these individual boxes: $109

[@josephpizzuti7997]

Did they fix the arms at the shoulders?

[@somarriba333]

I like this Voltron. I don't care about the electronics. I always turn those off or take the battery out. I wish they had engineered the shoulder joint better. I can't stand how the entire black lion shoulder rotates instead of those locking it and have the socket rotate.

[@maskedfan4015]

Saw all but the black lion at one of my targets this week. They’re in the collectors spot and not the toy aisles. My 2017 red Lion will not snap in to the black lion anymore. Not seeing anything wrong with them so not sure which lion is the issue. Half tempted to buy a new red Lion to see if he’s the problem. But might just display them in lion form with all their weapons attached.

[@user-dk3up2nl1m]

Hey Pixel Dan ..i heard you wont do a review on Hatters Flip-Or figure. Whats up with that??

[@dumpsterfire7916]

Not cool, where did you hear this at? Maybe he's butthurt over Hatter's happy toy guy skits 🤣

[@user-dk3up2nl1m]

@@dumpsterfire7916 Mad Hatter said it himself on yesterdays live stream with another toy tuber

[@samcintyre0785]

I went to three targets picking a few of the classic tmnts that i missed out on. I didn’t see one voltron lion. The hunt continues in Maryland. They dont even show up on the target app yet. I sold my previous set new in box years ago and kept the dreamworks lions. I am noticing the larger companies are releasing throwbacks with no updates maybe for business reasons and to get guaranteed money on older products. Which is good for classic toy collectors. Not so much for innovation though.

[@obsessivefanboy7]

I was wondering what the difference was. I was worried the new ones would have mold degradation problems.

[@TadashiYee]

There's a quirk where fred has to be attached before green to get right phrases.

[@Thor13332]

Great. I missed the first release..

[@Mainframev76]

A company needs to create some good Blazing sword mod creation. I’d buy tons of

[@no1wonderfan921]

At first I got excited because I thought these were reissues of the Mattel ones.😢

[@oscarprank1180]

Hi Dan I noticed the arms aren't clicked in all the way you should hear two clicks

[@PainFueled]

The only real fault of this Voltron is a lack of bicep swivel. Otherwise, it's a super fun, big, chunky toy.

[@716straightedge]

Do u own any of the more expensive Voltrons from Japan from the past 5 odd years? I don’t recall u doing a video, but I don’t remember a lot of things lol

[@davecardoza4762]

How much is this one going for? I love the Voltron robots, the Lion Force & The Mobile Force but at this point collecting has been difficult due the price tags on these gems.

[@zotols]

Bought the first release, wish it was a tad smaller. It's just too big to play with, doesn't hold its own weight well and even with little playtime the joints has taken its toll and become terribly loose on mine.

[@Noddzie]

Those arms need pegging in proper and to release the red parts on black lions arms are the release buttons

[@GCJACK83]

2024 is a re-release of 2017. If you missed 2017, now is a good time to pick up a very reasonably priced Golion/ Lion Force set. Pick it up if you have kids around (i.e you're a parent or aunt/uncle) and keep it somewhere the kids can manhandle it. It's not the good Blitzway set that costs a kidney and testicle that you don't want small hands breaking.

[@jayaccord]

I got them but I’m missing a couple of the weapons

[@shane3674]

Face it! 🫵😆 You were humming the Voltron theme while you watched this.

[@flashback7273]

I can't remember it. Keeps turning into spiderman and amazing friends for me

[@theshakeups]

Nice looking figure for the price. However, I can attest that the sound effects are not original voice actors from the show; they are clearly recreations.

[@SlytherinReviews]

am I noticing some paint differences between the two

[@Dinowrestler]

Well we get this in Canada?
