Unboxing Toynami Voltron 30th Anniversary Diecast Figure!

[@1701Tex]

That level of quality, along with the amount of die-cast work, reminds me of the wonderful days when Japanese toys were coming over here in 78/79 (thanks to Star Wars.) MAN, do I miss going into JCPenney and seeing that display case of WONDERS. GREAT video! And thanks for helping me remember those times.

[@tonytigeer]

Goodness I remember that !

[@leekhan8948]

I do too!

[@foxdie10000]

Thank you so much really appreciate all the hard work and effort that goes into the show

[@russelldwood929]

I wanted a collectable Voltron. I have the TrendMasters die-cast from when I was a kid. I picked up the Playmates version a few years ago. I have the Super Mini Pla model kit, but nothing was really scratching that itch. I can't bring myself to spend $700-$1000 on the Bandai version. So I took a chance on this one after watching your review and I have to say I think it's fantastic. I love the base. I think it looks great and seeing it in person, I didn't think it looked too skinny or out of proportion. Best part is It can still be picked up for a reasonable price. Great Review!

[@sgreen4]

this looks great. I'm going to buy this, go back in time and give it to myself as a kid.

[@maxbrandt6]

That is fugg'n awesome! Such a well done offering, with the key and everything!

[@toy_room_of_insanity]

WOW! This is an amazing Voltron. It's nice to finally see him done properly.

[@LaughItupFuzzball70]

Voltron isn't something I am particularly familiar with but having watched the unboxing/review I can appreciate the quality of the piece and the thought that has gone in to the design. Great work guys, Cheers, Fuzz.

[@derektorres6260]

I see why you're the official great sage of Voltron. I miss my matchbox Lion Voltron

[@kidbach]

Excellent as always M. And next time you can make a playground, gutter humor dirty joke about the opening in the backdoor. Because we are so mature. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

[@jonstefanik9400]

My parents didn't love me. I got this plastic generic Voltron for Christmas. It came with the pilots and you would slide them in the seats but then you closed clear plastic over them. Even though it wasn't the diecast metal one that my friend had I didn't complain much.

[@jboypacman]

Pretty dang impressive! Trumps the Mattel one easily and is something the Voltron fan will want!

[@weinerman]

6:30 became a rather intimate moment for me... I was not aware it would light up like that.

[@pferreira1983]

At least he can stand up straight this time. That has to be an improvement.

[@MarkDemeo]

this definatlly looks amazing,i wonder on the yellow and blue lions there were pieces that revealed weapons on the back that popped up and others on the side of the yellow ones head. do these do that like the old matchbox ones did and what about the red and green ones,the heads fired out?

[@justinschworn1444]

loved your review. very in depth & totally informative. having already purchased the 20th anniversary, i feel more than confident buying this model. does the led feature extend to black lion, while in lion mode ? also noticed an extra head in backround. does it come with the set ?

[@CRUCIFUKKED]

I'm 35 now I remeber when I was a kid for Christmass I got The full Voltron Dicast set I was kid then I play the hell out of it and Last for a very very long time. I wish I still held onto it. I wonder if you can still get the OG Voltron set.

[@aremdvnasophia]

Search for "Voltron Lionbot 1980" on eBay. They're around $110 shipped. Paint apps are not as nice as the originals, but they have all the missiles and weapons.

[@EPS5000]

Are there batteries in Voltron himself, to make his eyes light? Also I wish the lion legs were designed differently, they don't look right folded that way.

[@alvind614]

Did you ever do a review of Vehicle Voltron made by Miracle productions?

[@StandingUpForBetter]

AWESOME! I have the Masterpiece one I just wished they gave us the option of having the base and weapons separately. I was one of the people to pre-order it a while ago only to find out the base was canceled :( Another great video. Thanks!

[@xpelon209x]

A very good! Review. . I've had mine for a week now.. and I love it

[@dinomonzon8853]

Had New World produced a more honest American version of Voltron that was truer to the the Japanese original, I might've been a fan. Great video as always! 👍

[@Matthewjohnwilson]

I have always wanted that key back end for my car or house key cover. Waiting for some one to make that.

What a piece!

[@alvind614]

I'm happy with the 20th aniversary Voltron that I got years ago for $120 bucks! I don't really care that much about the base stand and the light up eyes. I can get the voltron weapons from the old version from ebay.

[@nickmaster512]

dude you have a colossal and awesome toy collection im so jealous >w

[@DarthJokerFett]

Great review Michael! Fantastic looking piece, and this is coming from an objective viewer who has never even seen the show. Keep up the great work

[@obsessivefanboy7]

0:03 "10 years ago Toynami released the masterpiece Voltron, the first diecast transforming Voltron we seen since 1984" Trendmasters diecast 1997 Voltron: Am I a joke to you?

[@impossiblepie]

are these new molds or just re-used from the previous sets?

[@novax-ig9yt]

I have the matchbox and panosh place versions. This one looks way awesome!

[@weprin2]

You do know there's going to be a Soul of Chogokin Voltron coming out, right?

[@dan75robot]

if they were to make a base like that for the playmates version with the whole lets form voltron sequence DAMN!

[@jaysmithDrums]

My Blue Lion won't stay connected - Bummer! It'll connect on the other leg, and Yellow will fit on both. Not sure what to do. I bought it sealed at a trade show otherwise I'd just exchange it. Rarrr.

[@rfguerrerov]

watching this was a lot of fun, thanks

[@aremdvnasophia]

Awesome review, but I think you mixed up which lion gets which blades. I'm waiting for my 30th Anniversary Voltron to be shipped from my Sister to the Philippines and 80's Taiwan bootleg to be shipped. These reviews help while waiting.

[@YodaPagoda]

I've *really* been trying to tone down my purchases for collectibles. I got the Hot Toys "Battle Damaged T-800" recently and that was over $300...but a toy like this one, that seems to invoke so many great memories? Who watched this and didn't hear "Form feet and legs! Form arms and body! And I'll form the head!" I think BBTS is getting another $250 from me thanks to y'all!

[@bigfatcreep8784]

So KILLER!!!

[@KeyKiller74]

Just Awesome ! Voltron Rules !!! :)

[@Robyn_iz_Here]

Hell yeah he does

[@CUfan712510jd12340987]

Very COOL!!!!

[@leekhan8948]

Does the head turn ?

[@Teatime7771]

Awesome video

[@MelodyJoyM]

Are the rumors true that vehicle Voltron can’t be shipped to the USA because of our tough emission standards?

[@Cavillier1970]

Nice review Mike, but I've been wondering for a while, since I saw your Voltron videos are you and Melinda going to do a Vehicle Voltron review of the series & toys? I know I'm in the minority but dont care, I prefered the Vehicle team to the Lion team.

[@dinomonzon8853]

Same here!

[@impossiblepie]

Matty Collector!!!! start taking notes, this is how you design and create a Voltron toy/collectable!!!!

[@NomadSOA]

Bravo great video.

[@figure108]

Are you guys getting the Madtoys version?

[@retroblasting]

figure108 If I could find a reputable place to buy it...

[@roboback297]

how could anybody unlike these videos

[@christisrisen6774]

Roboback29 HOW COULD ANYONE SPEND 500$ FOR THIS!?

[@shumworld]

7:10 I think that chrome piece is a nod to how the pilots would board into the lion.

[@stinkyfartguyofficial]

Then wouldn't it be an elevator hatch not an engine?

[@shumworld]

@@stinkyfartguyofficial yeas you can look at that details as an elevator hatch.

[@christisrisen6774]

VOLTRON was Sold out When I was a Kid. so I Ended up Getting the Remote control 4 FT one that went Back and Forth for Christmas Instead! Do u Remember that!?

[@riderbuzz2606]

whoa that is so cool

[@josephbrowning2968]

Very Nice!

[@christisrisen6774]

As a Kid I would have Cut off my own hand for A 5 Set Voltron!!! Looking at Voltron Now At 42 yrs Old I Hate, His Bulky Blocky Look!!! Still Love Voltron tho! The TITAN POWER VERSION Although he Doesn't Come Appart is My Personal Perfect Voltron But Everyone is Different!!

[@josephvalenzuela1811]

I'm getting one retroblasters!

[@pimphandgamester]

I remember having the original die cast version as a kid. It was $11 and kinda sucked compared to it's larger, $25 plastic rival which included the key that fit in the black lions chest and the figures came with it...never would have guessed it would be worth anything. I pitched it like saturday night tissue paper like a dumbass.

[@Gridseeker]

Not a fan of Voltron series (I´ve watched a couple of times but just that) but seriously, this set is gorgeous! Finally Toynami did something good, shame I can´t say the same with some of the Robotech toys they have made so far.

[@demonseed8812]

Plastic tab is the switch for the eyes..? This is a good buy if you don't have the 20th, A easy pass IMHO if you have it. I love RB but this unboxing plays more like a ad than a review. Hopefully Toynami or someone will make a updated modern mold.

[@marcothommen2484]

cool!

[@frankfaggiani2997]

Why don’t green and red lions head shoot off? Like the originals...

[@leekhan8948]

Still don’t like how they never upgraded its stationary head to one that has articulation

[@giorgiomoneta5368]

Hello RB, I world like buy it. In europe cost 250 €... advise me to buy it? Thanks Giorgio

[@jimivegas]

Hell ya thanks for the awesome review sir. I'm going to botcon and well, I guess this will have to take precedence over whatever overpriced crappy repainted molds funpub/Hasbro has to offer.

[@DkNy2kX]

dont push the arms all the way into the sockets, it will scratch the black lion if you turn the arms up and down.

[@brollicon]

toynami was suppose to release the base seperately for people who have the first diecast and the plastic version. I like this version but seeing I have the others Ill pass and wait until someone sells the base on Ebay

[@str8toff]

im getting this!!!!!!!!!

[@lethierhedger7225]

Wowowowowoowowowowowowoowowowowowowowowwow this is Incredible

[@christisrisen6774]

Have you seen the TITAN POWER Version!?? Oh Man!! All the Eyes Light up on the TItan Power check it out if you Haven't

[@shaoronmd]

WHAT IS THIS SEXY BEAST!? it's so beautiful!!

[@rogeryeboah6572]

Did you watch voltron force Michael

[@impossiblepie]

this is a great version, to bad it cost so much!

[@aremdvnasophia]

It's cheap compared to the price the 20th anniversary one's were going for before this one was announced.

[@aremdvnasophia]

It's cheap compared to the price the 20th anniversary one's were going for before this one was announced.

[@impossiblepie]

Is it the same mode as the 20th anniversary version? or a new mode for each lion? how much of this new version is actually diecast?

[@aremdvnasophia]

It's pretty much the same thing as the 20th Anniversary Voltron, except you get light up eyes and the base. Not sure if the 20th Anniversary Voltron included the blades for each individual lions.

[@impossiblepie]

Still not a fan of the sounds effects, to me it's an extra cost and the toy doesn't need them, a gimmick that just adds extra cost.

[@springthunderboxer]

all the rockets are missing

[@mongrel-starcomics.109]

Are you leaving those batteries in while it's on display? Batteries leaked in a pair of walkie talkies I once had all over my Batman: a death in the family graphic novel. Not a good day. It's made me paranoid about batteries ever since.

[@georgesumner6705]

Golion in 1981 in Japan and Voltron in 1984 in USA because i was Born in May 12 1984 in USA

[@georgesumner6705]

[@georgesumner6705]

Justin Sumner and im saving more money to getting that toy called Voltron Defender of the Universe/Beast King Golion 30th Anniversary Collector's Set Diecast Figure on amazon.com

[@georgesumner6705]

Justin Sumner and can't wait to see Voltron Live Action Movie in Theater about all 5 pilot's like Keith, Lance, Hunk, Pidge & Sven who Join Forces to Piloting All 5 Mystical Robot Lions to Form 1 Giant Super Robot Warrior Called VOLTRON!!!!... Defender of the Universe!!!!.... who will save Planet Arus and Princess Allura from the Evil King Zarkon and his son Prince Lotor and a Giant Monsterous Robeast who was trying to invading planet arus Can't Wait to see that MOVIE ITS AWESOME!!!

[@Superdimensional]

They took too many liberties on this design that take away from the feels of the 80’s Voltron, for instance how the tails push in instead of folding down, and how the legs on the arms fold up on the hindquarters of the red and green lions, looks all wrong when you’re used to it being a certain way. Bandai got all of that right!

[@impossiblepie]

what's with all these companies adding sound effects? it's a gimmick that makes the toy or figure or collectable cost more and if you keep the batteries and forget to take them out they will ruin the collectable/toy/figure. and you press the sound effect button once or twice if you're lucky. I just find the sound effect gimmick useless and like I mentioned increase of the cost.

[@allball4924]

A lot of crazy jesus fanatic people would probably rather you give your money to them instead of doing something nice for yourself sometimes.

[@mongrel-starcomics.109]
