What I want for Christmas: Voltron Lion Masterpiece December 23, 2006
Email This Post
Like many of you, I was hooked on Voltron from the very first episode. Watching Voltron after school was a must before doing anything else. Of course, after watching this animated infomercial every day, I had to have the Voltron toys, too. Unfortunantly, my Voltron collection consisted of only the Black Lion, a cheap miniature version of vehicle team, and the big, plastic-cheapo version of the lion team.
Since I was pretty good this year, maybe Santa will finally give me the real thing–all five lions, complete with the “Blazing Sword!”
He comes packaged in a ‘book-style’ box with slide-out tray, allowing for safe storage and forever mint-in-box packaging.

First Voltron DVD set November 7, 2006

Sci-Fi has a review of the first set of Voltron DVDs. Here’s a small part of it:
… there’s an awful lot to like in these opening Voltron episodes, from the slow-burn plot arc to the careful establishment of five iconic characters: Keith (the dashing, blandly perfect leader), Hunk (the big, slowish but good-hearted one), Lance (the “edgy” smartass), Pidge (the brains-over-brawn kid) and Princess Allura (the obligatory girl, and often the team’s weakest link, in emotions and skills alike). These five characters became prototypes, often imitated and often shorthanded, in part because they were established so well here, with episodes focusing on each of them in turn.
