Don't I have this? VOLTRON 40th Anniversary Figure Review

[@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 😮

[@ARGONIAN61]

I really wish I had picked them up years ago but I didn't have the money back then. Oh well.

[@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

[@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.

[@Rob-z7k]

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

[@FluffyCajun]

@@Rob-z7k 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?

[@Rob-z7k]

@@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.

[@vidalrivera7400]

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

[@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.

[@Dmdirmrjr33]

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.

[@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

[@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

[@MyHandle4455]

Easter Egg… this is exactly how the lions were packaged back in the 80s when Matchbox released them.

[@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.

[@tony56321]

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

[@SupermanKalEl7828]

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. 🤩😃😁👍👍

[@sammywestenberger9303]

Happy 40th Anniversary to Voltron!

[@luistrak]

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

[@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.

[@badboy-gn8fu]

mine too, i remember watching GI Joe, Voltron, He-man, She-ra, Transformers, Thundercats..those were good times bro. good times.

[@AlphaProto]

I used to watch Voltron when I was 2. I still remember seeing the Voltron toy in the Fred Savage movie Vice Versa. I saw a dicast Voltron at at Good Will in the early 1990s but I was still a kid and had no money. Before I die I want a fully formed Voltron figure, I just want to make sure it's the best one, and as far as tapping into my nostalgia for the show this could be it.

[@vadoraid2517]

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

[@thunderpunchheman]

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

[@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?

[@brandontomblin8406]

I just found the 4 limb lions this morning after finding the black one 2 months ago.

[@rangertsune9234]

We need a voltron video game as well

[@HamRadio360]

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

[@radiofriendlybox]

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

[@thetoythief8940]

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

[@kriskenny5481]

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

[@IanVersusDaddybones]

I'm super excited because my big bad toy store pre-order on this arrived last week and I shipped it out today along with a WWE Elite Bray Wyatt figure. I'm super geeked for it to arrive

[@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.

[@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.

[@Nightshade794]

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

[@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.

[@seibervideo]

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

[@edwardstewart6372]

Do the red and green lion heads blast off ?

[@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.

[@Chrisholley74]

I like the ultimate defender each lion came with the pilot in his pod that goes in each lions

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Best review job ever ❤😂

[@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

[@Belmont_79]

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

[@georgepasymowski2508]

Great toy. Hope I can find all 5 lions.

[@mouse2689]

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

[@SteeleCarterable]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@DeityLink69]

How much is each lion?

[@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.

[@Abuhassanbh]

I heard that the legs shaking problem is less in the newer version (the five separate boxes), specially when trying to stand the figure straight up. Is this true sir?

[@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.

[@justinmonroe8279]

I still have my original one I got for Xmas in '85. One ear is broke and both red fins are broke from my son playing with it, but it is still able to be separated and reassembled 39 years later

[@TadashiYee]

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

[@Johncollins219]

This company really need to concentrate on making a vehicle Voltron of the same scale and quality. It would be awesome to display them both together.

[@ftsrecords5052]

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

[@CHamelore]

Do the arms move?

[@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.

[@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.

[@nexornator]

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

[@hang10wannabe]

It's a great inexpensive Voltron and I have the 2017 one and the Threezero version for a more high end. I keep the Playmates one in my classroom!

[@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.

[@obsessivefanboy7]

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

[@thespaceram2879]

My 84 Voltron black lion has yellowed the two grey clips that hold the two red wings. The grey articulated areas on the feet and knees on his legs.

[@BlackMask1980]

that's the best version brother

[@Ins0mniaUWE]

Hallmark are bringing out Voltron decoration for Christmas.

[@warrennewman5325]

Awesome figures dan👍😀

[@UnitedWeStandFreedom]

Where are these out ?

[@ObsessiveGeek]

Already available at Target

[@Kingdom_Comics]

Do we know when and where they will be released?

[@EvolATV]

I still have the diecast Matchbox from the 80s.

[@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...

[@ultramaximusreviews]

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

[@chriscravens4915]

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

[@oscarprank1180]

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

[@maybetoby]

Is this only sold in stores again...

[@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

[@SlytherinReviews]

am I noticing some paint differences between the two

[@andrewthielmann5342]

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

[@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?

[@kevbotech238]

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

[@pauld5185]

Where do I get them?????

[@Dinowrestler]

Well we get this in Canada?

[@JNy5873]

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

[@briansoucie1571]

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

[@IMosuGoji]

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

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

Thanks for the review

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

[@stephenshanebeaty]

I just ordered the 40th anniversary but it's a full set that comes in one box does anybody know if that's the same size as these or smaller

[@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.

[@rj4121]

WHEN WILL THESE BE RELEASED?

[@BlueWingedPanther12]

Do they have differwnt date stamps?

[@spargotee]

Cool! I hope BBTS sells this

[@FrederickEpps]

I to see voltron is getting more love

[@francoisregis2155]

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

[@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.

[@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.
