Just got all 5 today, i found 4 at my local walmart but had to travel two hours to find the black lion at a toys r us. It was worth it though! Its awesome once combined!
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.
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.
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).
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!
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). I have had my Black Lion since January but only Two days ago picked up the others on a trip since where I live so few retailers carry them. Again thanks
Bought it years ago. Finally unboxed and assembled it. It's alright. I wish there was more head articulation. I think I'm spoiled with the TF siege figures haha
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.
I might start collecting these next weekend,or hopefully soon.and also,good video! And real quick, I want to show you the way I will get the legendary lions. Black,green,red,blue,yellow.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Voltron always my favorite.. i had a red lion and yellow when i was 10 years old and i wanted the other lions .. and really good that still theres voltron toys
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.
Great review!!! Thanks so much for sharing such detail. Voltron Legend Defender seems to have more play-ability than Voltron Metal Defender. You've helped me tremendously in making a purchase decision. Entertaining! Subbed and liked. :)
cool as they look I miss my diecast lions i had as a kid i'd buy these lions if they come out with a diecast set like transformers did for there anniversary
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.
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 :)
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 :/
We're hoping to get more information about any possible global releases for Wave 1 of the Playmates Toys at New York Toy Fair in a couple weeks. If any news comes out, we'll announce it on the podcast.
I like Voltron a lot and I watch it almost every day and lions are my favorite cat species and the lion is the king of Africa 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖
for a bunch of douchebags that think Power Rangers is a childish show should look in the mirror because Voltron destroys monsters the some as power rangers do so I guess Voltron is a childish show now two huh
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
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.
Is it possible to get the loins into a sitting pose like when they first found blue he was sitting Edit: sorry when they are in package they sit but black is not sitting so can he and is there a better sitting position then the one when they are in package or
Keith is Shiro's effective second-in-command, and as the Red Lion, forms Voltron's right hand. OMG Symbolism!

H i s r i g h t h a n d m a n
please please please please please pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssse make it were keiths just like but im the right hand man
and shiro is gay
@@mattypatty.0 and youve got a problem with that?
not really since the original voltron also had the red lion as the right hand

Kinda surprised no one talks about the black lions outward leg moment at the hip and the leg swivel at the knee. Thanks for highlighting this.
Well done! Very thorough and easy to understand. Playmates did an AMAZING job with this set! Hey, I saw what you did to those Rangers!

Great review! Most of the reviews I've seen never extended the Blue and Yellow lion's head. Poor Rangers, became targets :)
Lendy Tayag I like the original Power Rangers, too!
This toy is amazing, Triton recently got them all and it is now his favorite toy! Thanks for the video
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.
Thanks for the amazing review, Voltron is my favorite Netflix original, I have to get this right away
I'm buying this tomorrow, I used to own the OG Voltron, can't wait for Season 5. Great Video! Go Lion!
I just found the black lion today, I'm on the hunt for the rest. man these are hard to find lol

Amazingly well done review, very professional! Great figures, too! Go out and get them everyone!
I have watched every single kind of Voltron ever made
im 14 and i want this
Dva.izuru I'm 14 as well ,and I don't care what people say I still collect toys. :)
same here! I just got Blue today and I already want the others!
wonderloom I'm 20 and I want this
I'm 16 and so do I. :)
same
Sooooo wonderfully done and the ending was very funny haha~
This is the best review for these toys. Thanks!
Gregory Gleason Thank you for the kind words! These are seriously awesome toys.
thanks for showing how to disassemble the lions, it helped me out
Beautiful review! I am looking forward to getting all lions myself ^^ tysvm for creating. Most excellent job on this review.
I love this design. Wish the megazord in the new power rangers movie looked HALF this cool!
The power Rangers could never smh
Great review! Thanks. Especially found the comparison between Combining and Ultimate to be very helpful.
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).
I have had my Black Lion since January but only Two days ago picked up the others on a trip since where I live so few retailers carry them. Again thanks
they shouldve include Blam Blam Blam lol
Ouuuu, these are out already?! Got to get on the ball!
Bought it years ago. Finally unboxed and assembled it. It's alright. I wish there was more head articulation. I think I'm spoiled with the TF siege figures haha
Super awesome and complete review. Gotta have it! Thanks for the review.
GoTubeKids Thanks for the kind words!
Hi
GoTubeKids
King Kong robot
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?
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.
Amanda Rivera no
Japanese toys do not have this problem, specially in toy-related shows such as Kamen Rider and Super Sentai.
I had to rewrite mine with an arduino using cartoon samples
Lets Voltron they are not the real voice actors
The ending made me laugh so much, i loved it. Thanks for this relaxing review. Love your new subscriber.
I might start collecting these next weekend,or hopefully soon.and also,good video! And real quick, I want to show you the way I will get the legendary lions. Black,green,red,blue,yellow.
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.
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.
I never though anyone could make Volrton boring , but so somehow managed to bull it off, bravo
if i gave a like for every time you said "ratcheting joints" you would have a lot of likes!
But you can only like the video once
@@Kodaiva r/woosh
the repetition is real!
Also "Legendary"
Greattoy
I want this SOOOOO dang bad. Looks cool and has awesome playability
is still l watch this series i didn’t know there where 5 lions i’m might get them and form Voltron myself thank-you 🤩
Bru

I subscribed immediately because of your name and I knew this whole channel would probably be all about voltron
Awesome review I think I will pick up these lions
absolutely amazing toy. this would be a dream for any kid to have all of them.
Haha! That ending with the transformer! 😂
Pidge sounds like Slippy from Star Fox in this.
That's flipping amazing.
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!
That's one of the coolest toys I have ever seen !
these things are hard to find at their MSRP... I only have the Black Lion as of now
*cRying* This review is so great! The detail is on point! I need these in my life. I'm about to turn 14 so I hope my mom gets me them XD
Super Cool Figures !!!! Plus THEYRE COMBINING !!!!!!! Must to say is: Sulit na Sulit Ito Grabe :D XD
Honestly...Who thumbs-downed THIS? Great video - Thank you!
I watched another review about this toy and disapointed me but now that watched this review I am sure i wanta to buy it
We think you would love it!
front hips... YOU MEAN SHOULDERS!!! Cats have shoulder blades. but no collar bones.
Jim Bones I never studied robot lion anatomy. :)
I know you being logical but is is a robot
It’s a toy
I can tell you study bones because of your user
i just picked my set this past weekend
This looks awesome👍😎👍

I would love it if you got the wings of the black lion as well
I almost lost the speeders when I opened my red and blue lion cried a bit and then realised I'm stepping on it
Who the fuck is ryan seaman
Yuri is my S U C C wut
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.
Thanks for this vid
It inspired me to get it! Lucky for me they had a pack that had all lions so I didn’t have to go digging for all of them
Great review

Good video with ratcheting joints
Great review. Can the wings form a shield?
aethril1 Unfortunately no, but some creative customizers have been able to make it work!
I thought this was a review,not a documentary!
Take a shot every time he says “Ratcheting”
I’ve never heard more legendary in a video before
Nice reference to Voltron's win in Death Battle at 4:26!
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
I bought the classic 84 version. So much fun.
also I've never watched voltron but i would buy these. they look awesome
Mildly disappointed Hunk doesn't yell "I'm a leg!" when you connect the yellow lion.
LOOOOL! No one can take the transformer down!
Call the Black Lion!
I'm totally getting this for Christmas
I didn't hear him say "I'll form the head!" Did I miss it somewhere?
Damn, this is the coolest shit. Will definitely have to get as a collectable.
Pidge's voice is the only one that seems to match the voice from the actual show lmfao
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.

Edit: sorry when they are in package they sit but black is not sitting so can he and is there a better sitting position then the one when they are in package or
Jason Pax yes it is
This is probably one of the coolest toys I've ever seen.
How much would this be now 7 years later and not be a scam
can't wait to get these in the uk one day
Do the wings open on the black lion like the show?
Voltron!!!!!!!!!Is amazing!!!!!
to watch another video press the box to your right
These are my favorite toy ever
15:02 *black lion's leg go into the yellow lion's behind*
Hunk: "Are you sure we should do this?"
TAKE MAH MONEEEEE !!!!!
Cool vid
