I wish they would release a true collector’s edition where they are made of metal like the original that first came out

[@losjavier]

They should That would mean they would have to reinforce the legs The weight alone because The legs were not made for the weight of the metal The lays were they locked were made out of plastic.

[@darkcggaming]

There is. It is the Bandai GX-71SP Voltron: Defender of the Universe 50th Anniversary, to be released in June / September 2024.

[@artofgarduno]

there plenty of metal ones out there

[@babyluvjr]

I still have mine bro

[@supermariobros1967]

Me too. But I actually bought the metal like 9 yrs ago and still have it

[@weepingkoopa2862]

Came here mostly to see if it was a reissue of the 2018 Voltron 84 Lions. This'll be great for people who missed out on some of the lions.

[@cbhunts7732]

Brooooo I'm glad you pick these up. Omg it's my favorite version of Voltron. Playmates knocked them out of the park. When they come back out. I definitely need another set to stay in Lion form.

[@lordelohim]

They are set to go out onto the floor at Targets on April 21st. If a store has them now, they will be in the back, but you can ask about them, and if they have them, they are allowed to sell them to you. They are not actually on shelves yet, though.

[@anthonyismael09]

Did they sell out already? Only the Black lion is available to purchase online, the rest say "available to purchase in stores"

[@TheBeardedLuchador]

It makes absolutely ZERO sense how this product rollout was handled. Initially ship two cases of two of the same figure, that's 4 black lions on wave 1. Then ship one case of 4 different figures, that's red, blue, green and yellow, on wave 2. Thus you're left with 4 collectors at each location looking for the same single case of figures to complete their Voltron. Those who purchased the black lion in wave 1, basically locked in their purchase of the rest of the set, that's 4 other lions. Instead of understanding this and releasing wave 2 in a 1:1 ratio, that's one case of wave 2 (4 lions) per 1 black lion shipped.... They opted for a 4:1 ratio, one case of wave 2 (4 lions) per 1 black lion shipped. At the end of the day Playmates could have potentially shipped/sold 2 cases of wave 1 and 4 cases of wave 2 per store. Instead they chose to upset, potentially, 3 collectors per store. Created, potentially, 3 unnecessary returns per store. And turned off, potentially, 3 collectors, per store, to your brand.

2024 Transformers 40 aniversario

[@WhilzNuas]

Just want to point out on the original 80's Beast King Golion toy, Yellow Lion had a unique hidden twin blasters on each ear that fires missles as well. I wished they would have kept that feature. Both ears opens to the sides to reveal them. Also, the Blue Lion had a hidden missle on it's forehead as well that pulls upward to reveal.

[@blaksham]

OMG I remember that! When I was a kid in the 80's my mom could only afford one lion and got me the yellow one. I remember the ears opening. I'd watch Voltron on TV and turn my yellow lion into the leg and pretend the rest of Voltron was there.

[@babyluvjr]

Facts yes indeed!!

[@babyluvjr]

My original set game from an old local toy store called Child World......Xmas of 84, I was 10 years.....$59.99 (expensive for back then) for all 5 lions in one box, they were made of die cast metal/plastic

[@Darkbotsz5]

[@calicocalthecopperkid7230]

As a kid I had the die cast yellow lion. I have such a fond memory of feeding it hotdogs.

The only Voltron figure I got was the Trendmasters line when Third Dimension was on TV. I LOVE that figure and I’ve displayed it for years.

[@bigdiesel4342]

That blue lion was always my favorite

[@kingpatriot]

Playmates needs to do vehicle Voltron like this

[@ScrewyS]

My brother still has his from the 80s. It's beat up, but he still has the lions. He also has the Voltron Castle that's pretty much in new condition.

[@Darkbotsz5]

Transformers Autobots roll out. ✅

[@MrMan-ol4ic]

Oh man, i had the original from the 80s. All metal! Sold it, of course. This was 20+ years ago. I was offered 2k, and i said sold. Had all the pieces, sword, everything!

[@Spawn3X5]

This looks like the best alternative compared to all the other super expensive voltrons 😆

[@michaelphillips5424]

I had the Panosh Place Voltron as a kid. I remember only knowing of the die cast version - my brother had the black lion from matchbox. When I was asked what I wanted for Christmas I asked for a Voltron that would fit the pilots in it. I didn't even know it existed. So getting the figures and a big honkin' set of Lion bot ships that could fit the figures AND form Voltron? Blew my mind. Still my favorite Voltron to this day. Not the most articulated, but nostalgia and all that. I have this Playmates version is a box set with all of the Lions as well as a vintage motorized LJN Voltron (they're small and combine), and both SOC Lion Voltron and Vehicle Voltron. Pretty sweet stuff. One day I'm going to have to pony up to get an original die cast. Got a few cool Power Rangers zords too, but Voltron was my jam as a kid (even before Transformers, GIJOE, and TMNT).

[@kingpatriot]

Just got this at my target I wish playmates would do vehicle Voltron like this

[@captainaustraliastudios8241]

Ah, what a classic, it’s been 40 years Voltron was made & that was a classic they made out of robot lions that combined into him the most🙌🏻(1984-2024)

[@bluestreakedladyshe-her8507]

I quite like my black lion. I can't put it down! However, I do wish the lions came with stickers though, to add some of that missing detail. Since this is a 40th anniversary figure, I really hope they do something for vehicle Voltron. Always thought that one was EXTREMELY cool. Imagine being able to create scenes from Fleet of Doom with it.

[@josmagutierrez8606]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 i want it all since 1984!!!!

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

I had the OG Voltron up until a few years ago. Had to sell off some of my toy collection and always hated that this had to go. So these will fit well enough even not being vintage

[@GoFigure]

To push the lion arms' tails, i saw somewhere that you bring out the connector pegs first so you can further snug in the tails.

[@geekstrong1]

I never had any Voltron toys as a kid, but I will definitely pick these up. 💪😎

[@LOGICAL-JAY]

We would of been going crazy if we had this in the 80s..I still love my 80s lion-bot and match box voltron though..this is a cool toy 😅

[@dennissmith5807]

I remember when they came out originally. Never had them though

[@a.q.gonzales9835]

downside on this is that the side parts of the chest rotates with the "armpit" Connection - if...if there are any remedy...it would improve this version much - great review

[@2500MSUB]

Yeah was hoping they corrected that, fail in my book.

[@checob224]

That's why, in my opinion, this is one of the worst versions of voltron out there(I could be wrong)

[@snake098765]

I member the metal ones. Between me and my cousin we had them all. Freaking loved them, especially when they were fully assembled.

[@NickDoobs]

I've been debating on whether I should get this, the Three Zero, or a vintage one.

[@ToyShiz]

I’d say def checkout some other great vids on KZbin for those specific voltrons and then see what the prices are for each. Good luck in the decision!

I might be wrong but that sounded like the original 80s Keith voice actor when you pressed the button on the black lion. If that is so then I want this now, more then ever. I miss my old die cast one but I was a kid in the late 80s early 90s and didn't know how to take care of my stuff and broke it but now that I'm adult it's different and I can feel like I'm watching the show all over again as a kid when I can get these

[@JeffDrennen]

From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend; the legend of Voltron, Defender of the Universe, a mighty robot, loved by good, feared by evil. As Voltron's legend grew, peace settled across the galaxy. On Planet Earth, a Galaxy Alliance was formed. Together with the good planets of the solar system, they maintained peace throughout the universe, until a new horrible menace threatened the galaxy. Voltron was needed once more. This is the story of the super force of space explorers, specially trained and sent by the Alliance to bring back Voltron, Defender of the Universe!

[@yinzertoyguy3678]

I had this set when it was first released. I couldn't get past the lack of paint and the weird arm articulation (no bicep swivel, and shoulders move in the wrong place). Sold it and bought the Bandai SOC version, and don't think I'll ever need another Voltron, even though the Blitzway is probably slightly better. Tip: the tails on the Red and Green Lions will push in further than that, particularly if you twist a bit while pushing them.

Wish they would release a version without the electronics so it can have waist articulation Also I wish they changed the shoulder articulation to work without movkng the red parts of the black lion.

[@leoalcaraz6153]

as a kid who actually watched the original; i have to get these: it is a shame with the yellow lion; he was my fave and stood out as the tank of the team because he was the only one with a visible cannon on his back and the new series really ignored that feature and they did the same with this; really wish the back cannon launch projectiles i think the original did but its been so long and i got mine used form the good will as a kid

[@DaveMcFly]

my ONLY gripe is the torso on the original 80s toy from back in the day you could rotate the arms at the shoulders without moving the parts of the torso they were attached too other than that it's an awesome toy if you don't want to pay the 100s of dollars some of the bigger and more detailed sets of this figure are out there
