I own this 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Voltron he was my favorite anima cartoon to watch back in the day. Great review & go Voltron force!!!
Yes l had the Voltron lions, the castle loved it the robot was big and the pilots fits inside the lions
About how long on average does it take to put one of these together?
few minutes? they're precut and require no work at all besides just putting stuff together
😮😮😮😮 Crazy detail!
I have this 20th Anniversary Voltron and I only put it together once!! It's been in the box ever since!!! I love it!!
Man sadly i had the majority of these toys. 😂
For the price these are exceptional! They look great with the Ecto 1! That packaging is a great representation of a vhs tape
The blitzway destroys that version u got there.
I had the matchbox version, the Blue and Yellow Lion had spring closed jaws (they were feet.) and both had opening heads, the yellow had cheek plates that opened to show little... gun nipples and the blue had a silver crown that raised up to reveal... a disabled projectile launcher. Lots of kids didn't know about that one. It would have been better if it had the sculpted crown of this one.
Oh, man.. memories... the Black lion had voltron's face in his mouth but it could be slid up into the roof of the mouth, as it was a seperate part from the jaw... but I think this version's poseability make it the superior version.
I know me and my brother Voltron lions were metal not plastic
Great review! Are you getting the Haslab Ecto-1?
Fantastic video and it's great to got this after selling your original figure. Matthew from RetroNow is an excellent dude, respect for the shout out.
I wish I woulda held onto the Matchbox SDF-1, but I kinda had a revolving collection in the early 00s.
I did not know James Hetfield had his own MOTU figure. LOL
I ordered mine on Amazon mid October and it shipped Nov 4 but it stopped updating tracking Nov 7 so I finally canceled it yesterday and ordered one on Big Bad. The price is up to $230 on Amazon now.
You forgot to fold in the corners of the backpack near the waist.
I have a Masterpiece Voltron too and I am very careful with it too.
Jesus, man… he really IS cartoon Awesomeness isn’t he?
I believe I have this version
When the Aliens toys came out there was going to be a cartoon done around 95 done by fox kids and it was gonna be called “Aliens: Colonial Marines” and that’s why the toys are so off from the movie. I was born in 83, and Aliens was/still is a big part of my life.
Dang it. I was hoping you were going to deviate from the love of this figure. I was going to pick him up but the $90 price tag locally held me back. He's so incredible looking though
Yeah I’m sorry I’m just another voice in the choir praising it lol. $90 IS steep… as days pass, I might have to reassess if it was worth it (even though yeah…he’s great)
If you don’t pick him up at $90 now, you’ll be contemplating whether to spend $100 + when he sells out after the holidays. This will surpass Ultra Magnus in value for sure.
People are buying multiples of this guy. That’s tells you everything there is to know
You do know they made a Diecast one back in the day looks 100% identical to this one but the heads on the Red and Green Cats Fired off and they and the same movement besides the little outer hinging but I can and the Jaws were not spring loaded your thinking of the Firing machinic of the heads. An yes the black lion on the older set was larger, wings were larger but head didn't move as much and again didn't have the outer hinging of legs but the old toy was still amazing. Great vid by the way
I bought all mine individually havent taken them out of the box yet, I got it for my son to play with when he gets of that age
that's a good idea. i really wanted to buy it for my son too except i have no son only twin daughters. guess i'll just buy it for myself then.
Cool father. 👍
Just watched this the other day. I like that it lives as its own thing
They chose Kup for this because in some continuities, he's "Sergeant Kup".
So Toynami released it again?
collection binge and purge regret is the absolute worst
Beautiful I bought the Lego Version as soon as it came out.
Such outdated molds. The mainline playmates looks much better and offers more playability. This is trash.

You sure about that? Playmates can’t swivel the bicep and the chest rotates with the arm.
Pretty nasty thing to say.
is this the version of this toy that the red lion and the green lion has an ejectablle head? and a few side leg weapon projectile attachment with the other lions? i remember owning one late 80s/ early 90s. how i wish i knew how to take good care of them rather than playing them roughly. haha
Alas, the heads don’t eject on those version lol It very much has a: display piece only feel
For a "Masterpiece" this leaves a lot to be desired. I think that it looks gangly. I have several voltrons that I've just kinda stumbled upon over the years. I think that the best one out there is one of the cheapest. The classic version released with the Netflix series. It's huge! It's sturdy and it looks great!
I had Matchbox Voltron, had the castle of lions as well. But my brother did not want it, so it was returned for some other toys.
I have this version. I placed it back in the book and displayed with my other Voltrons. Bought it in 2004.
Nice. I would love to have that one, too. I have 3 voltrons, and my favorite is the Blitzway Voltron, 5Pro Studio CARBOTIX Series
Oh my goodness! I forgot about the helicopter! I just had the same feeling watching this video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice
I just use small amounts of thin super glue to tighten up their joints. My staze couldn't hold his club up at all and a little bit super glue in the joint. Twist and turn it so it doesn't glue shut and your good. Some really bad joints take a couple tries but ive never had this not work
kind of surprised they don't have Action Force decals as an option
That's nice to hear it is solid. I still think the original A Real American Hero figures are of higher quality than a 2024 toy. I have only had Bumblebee and this was not as good of a product as it should have been. Thank you for sharing!
I think the Skeleton/helmet head is really just intended to lay at his feet, like in the original artwork and subsequently the Classics version.
Bumblebee really should have been Hound
Couldn’t agree more! And the AWE striker should’ve been beachcomber
i hate how a lot of charecters i really want are mattel creations because i can no longer get them when i am too busy during the drop date
So I was on TikTok wondering where nj79 has been. Only to see your no longer there. Now you on TH-cam. Awesome. Prefer this platform so much more. Glad you’re still collecting.
@@americanmaker8608 I really appreciate that you found me here!
I might have to check this out. I wasn’t too happy with my last reissue of Blaster
I never really got into Transformers (I think their peak popularity was just a bit before my time) but this is almost certainly the coolest Transformers set I've seen.
Hey man I'm coming here from Tik Tok I used to watch your videos a couple years ago I didn't know you had a TH-cam channel I made sure to leave you a subscription. I love your collection and your content wish you nothing but the best man😊
Ahh welcome and thanks for finding me and subscribing! All the best wishes to you and yours too!
I actually have this 😂 most of the things you show I don’t lol 😂
Before I forget, posable mouth
1: Yay yolopark scourge!! 2: if you didn’t know, at the back of the knee there’s a little panel on a hinge joint that you can bend to get the knee over 90 degrees
Ahh thank you! For the tips AND the recommendation of picking him up!
I don’t actually own him, I just really want him and I saw reviews
