Voltron Legendary Defender Combining Figures Review

Let's Voltron Podcast Co-Host Greg Tyler reviews all 5 Legendary Lions from Playmates Toys that combine to form Voltron from DreamWorks' Voltron Legendary Defender on Netflix.
Each Legendary Lion in this 5-figure set is purchased separately and has been available in stores like Target, Toys-R-Us, Wal-Mart, Amazon, and select comic shops since January 1, 2017.
The price of Yellow Lion, Blue Lion, Red Lion and Green Lion is $17.99 each. Black Lion, which is larger than the other Lions and has the electronic technology features, is priced at $29.99.
When all 5 Lions combine to form Voltron, it stands at 16 inches tall, has more than 50 electronic sounds and phrases, and is very poseable, all of which are demonstrated in this video review.
Let's Voltron Podcast has this review and many more Playmates Toys Voltron Legendary Defender toy reviews on our KZbin Channel. We also talked to Jeff Trojan, VP of Marketing for Playmates Toys, during our podcast interview at LetsVoltron.com/81 - so check it out!

I just got the Toys R Us set with all 5 Lions in one box for less than 90 dollars this last weekend. I have not yet had a chance to unbox the set since my man cave is still a mess and I need to clean it up and put in the new shelf units to display all the collectables that I own. Thank you for showing how to put together and take apart Voltron with my luck I would have probably have snapped either Red or Green and broken the link.

[@TRITONSTOYTIME]

This toy is amazing, Triton recently got them all and it is now his favorite toy! Thanks for the video

[@mekatora_]

I actually have two sets of these lions to custom paint and make look really good, both as Voltron and the lions. Haven't opened them yet to see what I'm working with so this video really helped me get a feel for what I can look forward to and what customizing needs to be done.

[@SFCarlosb]

Amazing video, and great review. I COMPLETELY agree with how Scary it is to separate the arms from the black lion. I really felt as though I was almost breaking the toy. I wish they added a quick separator similar to the legs. The arms (red & green lion) are a pain to separate from the body (black lion).

[@willdurfee1218]

SFCarlosb we love the comments

[@XH1927]

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The old die-cast DotU/GoLion Voltron from the 80s was stubborn about letting Red and Green go, as well. I broke Green's tail off separating it from Black once, when I was a kid. It was heartbreaking until my Dad brought me home a replacement green. I got them all at once in the hugely expensive complete set and didn't think you could get them individually so I thought Voltron was gone for good, or at least an amputee forever!

[@lendytayag7783]

Great review! Most of the reviews I've seen never extended the Blue and Yellow lion's head. Poor Rangers, became targets :)

Just wanted to say thanks for showing me some intricacies of the toys that I missed in the instructions (¡excitement!) and others that aren't made clear (arm detachment).

[@amandarivera4617]

the toys are so good quality! the one draw back is the voices. They don't should like any of them. Is this the old version toys?

[@LetsVoltron]

The voices are generic voice actors, not the actual voice actors. We talked about this on our podcast interview with Jeff Trojan from Playmates Toys. The voice actors on the show are union actors, which would cost a great deal for Playmates Toys, and delay the production of the toys. This is a normal practice for many toy manufacturers to use generic voices in electronic toys.

[@solaral3781]

Amanda Rivera no

[@exukvera]

Japanese toys do not have this problem, specially in toy-related shows such as Kamen Rider and Super Sentai.

[@The_Mimewar]

I had to rewrite mine with an arduino using cartoon samples

[@ShinGallon]

The missing paint is nothing you can't fix yourself. Looks very cool, I wish they weren't so expensive. I was wondering if they had actual transforming lions, the stores here only have the Basic figures so I didn't even know these existed until I saw your video.

[@phoenixwithin]

As a child I watched Voltron, but the toys weren't available by the time I turned 5. By then Transformers had transfixed me. I am 33 years old now and have been binge-watching the new Dreamworks series on Netflix. I am a child all over again! Then I found this video, then I went out and treated myself to the Green Lion today. I plan on collecting all of them. The only thing I will say. The paint job on these toys is missing fine details that the picture on the box has. The hips of the Green lion lean slightly left or right. No in-between. There was no need for the waist joint to have the click positioning. The joints of this toy click into position which is good and tight, but I predict wear n' tear over time if given to a child. The size of these lions are fantastic! You should see the Black lion in the shop. It's huge! Can't wait to collect the rest. £20 for each Lion except the Black Lion which is £35. Worth it if you've dreamed of owning Voltron. Gonna buy paints and super thin brushes to fill in the details for my collection.

[@mrbriandabest]

Very great review ! I was lucky enough to find all the Lions at the thriftstore and this video was perfect to learn all the functions and how to put the voltron together.

[@crossfirearcade8015]

I agree 👍. Just picked up two of these for $20 a piece at a local yard sale and this video helped alot and stopped me from breaking them lol. Really brought brought back the memories from my childhood.

[@xavierathorne]

Haha! That ending with the transformer! 😂

[@afiqazman6615]

I like this design more than the classic. And the articulation seems satisfactory. Wish Bandai Chogokin would remake this to be more show accurate as they did the classic.

[@jblackmann]

I want this SOOOOO dang bad. Looks cool and has awesome playability

[@oakstar519]

Was I the only one that was humming the Voltron theme while the guy was connecting the lions? -It takes about as long for it to transform here as in the show...- oops I didn't say that out loud

[@SouLuna_NeeBeeArt]

The ending made me laugh so much, i loved it. Thanks for this relaxing review. Love your new subscriber.

[@AddableStone13]

I have the Legendary lions version. I almost bought the basic set thinking they can combine, found out that was the Legendary set. When I got the Legendary set, my blue lion doesn't click to the black lions leg but yellow does, blue easily gets stuck to the black lion leg, red and green take a lot of force to remove. I had a heck of a time removing all 5 lions from their own boxes. Black, green, yellow, red lions I could easily find at my Walmart, Blue lion I had to order online. Now my problem is where to put the 16" Voltron when the lions are combined, the lions can easily set on my self when they separated but having a tall ass 16" Voltron just looks cool.

[@DarktoylordReviews]

Awesome toy. Ultimate version is more show accurate but in order to get a transforming version they did a pretty good job. The only issue I have with this guy would be the proportions, stability and clumsy articulation. But that's just me nitpicking :)

[@thefluffyhub2906]

Awesome review I think I will pick up these lions

[@XH1927]

Been on a bit of a Voltron binge lately and just finished watching a bunch of reviews of classic DotU Voltrons and finally this, and this one beats out even the huge money DotU combiners. There's just a lot of articulation and pleasing fit and proportions here that even the modern retools of GoLion lack. I hope the old school design gets a toy that matches this level of quality eventually, but for now, even though it hurts my nostalgia bone, this is the one I want. I despise the plainness of the sword, but that's the cartoon's fault, not the toy's.

[@vindureu8474]

Pidge's voice is the only one that seems to match the voice from the actual show lmfao

[@horse00626]

It’s not just you, the green lion is the hardest to get off (and on) Voltron. I just got this set today and it’s great! Keep up the awesome content!

[@teamprojects13]

For people who looking for the whole set. Mostly Toys R Us is carrying the box set for $100. It the same figures as he showing the video. You will need to call Toys R us because they don't have them listed on the website. I don't think Walmart and Target will not carry them due to fact that they won't be able to sell single pack. I have single packs plus the whole set box. The box set look really awesome.

[@CalvinRevuelta1]

i want to collect them. i saw the box set at toys r us today. i know it is cheaper than buying them all individually. would they be more desirable individually later on the years or all in one box set. i don't mind the price i just want what will be worth more later on... lol

[@teamprojects13]

As right now the single packs are everywhere Walmart, Target, Toy R Us, etc. The box set so far I seen only at Toy R Us. I like the box set to me it a fair deal.

[@robdcollector2808]

+teamprojects13 I noticed all the box voltron sets at toyrsus have sloppier paint jobs than the single packaged ones.

[@teamprojects13]

Depends the one I have match same as the single pack. If you want prefect than I would recommend die-cast ones.

[@blablablam100]

This is an excellent review, thank you very much! Can you tell me if these (or any) voltron toys will be released in europe (in my case austria)? i'm in love with these lions and i don't want to have to sell my car to be able to afford them :/
