VOLTRON is celebrating it's 40th anniversary! Are you feeling old yet?
In celebration, Playmates Toys has released a new set of Lions that combine to form the mighty Voltron! But, don't these look familiar? Well, yes - Playmates Toys actually first released this set back in 2017.
But if you missed it or this is new to you, it may still be worth picking up! And before you do, Pixel Dan is here to show you all of the details in this first look!

I'M GONNA SAY IT!! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE PLAYMATES COME OUT WITH A VEHICLE VOLTRON.
Could they? That's a lot of individual parts
@@RoyalKnightVIII well they are also smaller, so maybe they could release them by team, so basically air team 5 pack, land team 5 pack. You get the idea, how much would they cost? Depends, I can honestly see them only charging a little more for each pack if needed
You didn't peg the arms in all the way, that's why you were having trouble with the sound effects. Great, affordable Voltron!
I was wondering if Dan didn't plug them in right because those connections looked really loose
Oh Dan. Giving me anxiety for not able to peg that dang arms all the way in. Lol
Dan, You can just ship the new one to me since you already have it. 🤣🤣 Good review as always 🤘🤘
I wouldn’t call it affordable. The collector scalpers are selling them for like 100 a piece. I wish I had that much free time to camp at stores but I have a life, family, and career. Sometimes I think toy companies are shipping directly to these scalpers to take in bigger profit. I will just get my boy the shirt.
Yes!!!! AFFORDABLE Voltron. Imma cry
I got so lucky back in 2017. Target had put the Dreamworks Voltron Lions on Clearance. But somehow the 2nd wave classic, were on the same SKU, so they went straight to clearance prices. I got them for $9.99 a piece
Same story as my experience. I was worried about being late to the party but reaped the clearance rewards this time.
The '84 Voltron set was being sold for $60 at Walmart 4 years ago 😮
I wish they'd recreate the original diecast Voltron and put that out.
Yeah looking at these in person with the gray plastic when I'm so used to seeing diecast makes them look really cheap and crappy
Check out the Blitzway version of Voltron.
They been doing that for last 10 years , is 10x the price
Yes please
Blitzway,Bandai and Threezero have had there diecast voltrons but the catch is there expensive.
Playmate was upfront from the beginning and said they were reissue. It’s just a great chance for people who couldnt get the original release to finally get it. Although most likely at a higher price.
I was about to say...i already have this!
@@user-dk3up2nl1m I thought it looked cool, but never picked it up because I’m not a fan of the connection points for the arms. Look too damn flimsy and breakable. But since you own it, how do you feel about the connectors?
@@FluffyCajun ....its the 85 Voltron from Playmates. I remember buying it right away and later shot up in price on ebay. Atleast it gives new buyers a chance to have it
It's actually at the same price as the earlier release.
Happy 40th Anniversary to Voltron!
I remember back in 18 I could not find the red lion to complete my set, I finally found it online on Walmart and when I went to pick it up I got an unexpected surprise… two boxes with my name on them… I tried to tell the nice lady that there must be some mistake and she said oh don’t worry just take them they have your name on them and they had to be shipped here from another location and there was some issue with returning them, so I took my boxes and got lucky. I keep one mint in package as it looks great
Just picked these lions up. I'm very happy with them. Thanks for the video. Can't wait to meet you at Sarge and Reds
Now I can buy the rest of the lions i could not afford in 2017, oh yeah! 🎉
I always loved how regal the black lion always is, in every iteration. And tbh blue lion is always the second best
Yeah Dan you do, this is a reissue for those who couldn't get / complete it back in 2017.
Thanks for the video Pixel Dan, I won’t miss out this time because you shared this info. 👏 😃
I can't stop Reminisce about my Past. I loved Voltron Cartoons in the 80s since I was a Kid. I love the New Reissued Voltron Lions Toys. I'm glad they brought it back. It's Definitely a must have. Thanks Pixel Dan for the Info. 🤩😃😁👍👍
glad someone was able to do a comparison, I have the 2018 version and I wasn't 100% sure if they were the same (mostly the sounds) and I didn't want to pull mine down to check them
I'm glad they're back! Thanks for the info D!
I never picked up the last release of these, so definitely would like to get this one. Glad for another chance at this.
What happened to your arm/hand? Wrestling getting rough?
God I remember having the metal ones as a kid. Voltron was probably one of my top three favorite shows that with thundercats, GI Joe, transformers. Those were like to go to is when I was a kid kid.
mine too, i remember watching GI Joe, Voltron, He-man, She-ra, Transformers, Thundercats..those were good times bro. good times.
Love this set, they were so affordable for what you go before, I'm sure they cost a lot more this time around. I was able to get duplicates on clearance of all but Black and Yellow so I'm definitely going to pick those up.
This is pretty cool. I missed out on this back in 2017.
We need a voltron video game as well
Arms aren't pegged all the way.
I was thinking the same. I have the original release and the arms are pegged in all the way with no issues. It also balances better.
So great and awesome Voltron figure, thanks Pixel Dan! Stay heavy and blessings! 🤘
this just makes me appreciate the ones i had as a kid. wish i had kept them.
Cool… but it will never beat the Matchbox version.. thank god I still have mine 😊
I heard you have to put in the red lion first and then the green.
Really cool video though, as always, Dan!
My 2017 Voltron has the same issue with the red lion I was hoping it would be fixed somehow for the new one
I was never a huge Voltron fan, but i always liked combining robots. Never had the toys but would love to find the set at the right price ar Ollies someday.
I got him today from Target. And he’s glorious. I’ve never had a Voltron toy before and this guy fills the void my childhood had.
Which target?
9:13 I think the way to make that joint look not weird is if we could rotate it to be more flat
My Voltron toy experience. Back when we got the diecast Voltron here in the states I was getting $5 a week in allowance. Voltron was $60 and I saved up for 12 weeks to get him. In that version the Red and Green lions used their tails to attach to the black lion. After a couple times of transforming him the retainer in the shoulder of the black lion broke and the tail of the red lion couldn't ever peg in again. Saved for 3 months and the toy broke in about a week.
somebody knows if this will be carried by AMazon, BBTS or Entertainment Earth for example?
It's a great inexpensive Voltron and I have the 2017 one and the Threezero version for a more high end. I keep the Playmates one in my classroom!
Lucked out years ago and found this on ebay in perfect condition minus the individual lions weapons. came with the blazing sword, and spinning cutter for 100$!! This version is dope just wish it was white.
Dan I wish that playmates would make a Voltron and tmnt crossover.
I bought one in 2018 and have it built on my shelf. If I can get him cheap enough I will get him so I can do some custom paint work and have them as individual lions on my shelf. Hell I love the packaging so much I might get 2 sets. To keep one boxed, which I don’t usually do.
I had the vintage green and red lion as a kid I never had the black lion or the other ones to make Voltron I wish I did and now it is something to get in to and yes I do remember the cartoon as well
I feel like a cool feature would’ve been for the add on pieces like the blades could combine to create the sword
Nostalgic things from old days that is the best types of toys like he-man or tmnt or voltron i really think a re-do of old toys is the best especially if your a fan of toys from the 90s
It's good to know anyone who missed out on Voltron has another chance at getting the old team.
For some reason I think you're not pushing the connections fully in on the shoulders, they seem to stick out too far.
If that's on purpose then I guess I'm barking up the wrong tree.
Nice review overall, especially for anyone after information about the lion team.
I could’ve sworn my target store got them for the 35th anniversary in 2019 could just be my area getting these a year late to actually coincide with 35yrs and were their version of matty right I only had panosh place Voltron but I’m collecting them now
my dad found the black lion and he’s desperately trying to find the others
I was wondering what the difference was. I was worried the new ones would have mold degradation problems.
Best review job ever ❤😂
Are they the same as the 2017 legendary defender or the 2017 84 set?
Thanks for the review
Great toy. Hope I can find all 5 lions.
Do we know when and where they will be released?
Do the red and green lion heads blast off ?
I missed this figure in 2017... I will probably bite it and get him this time around.
Love to see a video of your playsets
Awesome figures dan👍😀
Had to get decals for the lions with the numbers on there backs
Where is everyone getting these? I’m in the northeast and haven’t seen them anywhere.
These are Target exclusive from my understanding. That means it is hit or miss as I have been on their website to tell me none where available at any nearby location only to go to nearby location to find what was said they did not have.
I wish we could get some classic pilot figures, or some figures of the baddies (Prince Lotor, etc.), or how about a Robeast?
Hi Dan I noticed the arms aren't clicked in all the way you should hear two clicks
Do they have differwnt date stamps?
Saw all but the black lion at one of my targets this week. They’re in the collectors spot and not the toy aisles. My 2017 red Lion will not snap in to the black lion anymore. Not seeing anything wrong with them so not sure which lion is the issue. Half tempted to buy a new red Lion to see if he’s the problem. But might just display them in lion form with all their weapons attached.
Hey pixel Dan! I was wondering if u were going to do a mega man 11 kotobukiya speed build/ review vid!!!
Esta un verdadero lujo Pixel Dan 👌🏻 saludos 💪🏻😎🇦🇷
A good opportunity to get them they look really nice wonder if we will have them here in 🇨🇦
As some1 who dont live in US, is there a way to get them at retail price online?
Did you buy those at target before they went out of stock???
Are these already out, or is there a release date?
Yeah this is a great Voltron for the money, i have the previous release I might pick this set up to display as the lions. But make sure you peg those arms all the way in they were not pushed in properly Dan on both of your Voltrons...
This looks awesome but it makes me pine for an affordable rerelease of the old Matchbox (I believe) figure from the 80s
Bought the first release, wish it was a tad smaller. It's just too big to play with, doesn't hold its own weight well and even with little playtime the joints has taken its toll and become terribly loose on mine.
Is this only sold in stores again...
Hallmark are bringing out Voltron decoration for Christmas.
I got them but I’m missing a couple of the weapons
I was able to get all 5 Lions at a very deep discounted price at Target. I think I paid under $80 for all 5 of them.
I like this Voltron. I don't care about the electronics. I always turn those off or take the battery out. I wish they had engineered the shoulder joint better. I can't stand how the entire black lion shoulder rotates instead of those locking it and have the socket rotate.
I got the Voltron from 2017. They could have gotten the voice actors from the show for the toy.
Those arms need pegging in proper and to release the red parts on black lions arms are the release buttons
am I noticing some paint differences between the two
Did they fix the arms at the shoulders?
Don’t know if you can hack in the chip and add the original sound effects.
There's a quirk where fred has to be attached before green to get right phrases.
Where do I get them?????
A company needs to create some good Blazing sword mod creation. I’d buy tons of
It is a great set. I wouldn't re-buy it but certainly am happy with the original release from 2017 or whenever.
I went to three targets picking a few of the classic tmnts that i missed out on. I didn’t see one voltron lion. The hunt continues in Maryland. They dont even show up on the target app yet. I sold my previous set new in box years ago and kept the dreamworks lions. I am noticing the larger companies are releasing throwbacks with no updates maybe for business reasons and to get guaranteed money on older products. Which is good for classic toy collectors. Not so much for innovation though.
Nice looking figure for the price. However, I can attest that the sound effects are not original voice actors from the show; they are clearly recreations.
I only can ever find the black lion. Back then until now :(
Im getting them again. Once to display in lions and one in robot mode.
BBToys has a completel one in the box, no hunting these individual boxes: $109
Will look great next to my Voltron Lego set
I to see voltron is getting more love
How much is this one going for? I love the Voltron robots, the Lion Force & The Mobile Force but at this point collecting has been difficult due the price tags on these gems.
Hey Pixel Dan ..i heard you wont do a review on Hatters Flip-Or figure. Whats up with that??
Not cool, where did you hear this at?
Maybe he's butthurt over Hatter's happy toy guy skits 🤣
@@dumpsterfire7916 Mad Hatter said it himself on yesterdays live stream with another toy tuber
At first I got excited because I thought these were reissues of the Mattel ones.😢
Awesome Voltron❤😊
What about the one Wal-Mart released in December 2020. I'm guessing it's the same as well? All 5 lions came in one box for $59.97. Now the price is $109.99.
Hey Dan. You still got that massive Matty Collector Voltron?
The only real fault of this Voltron is a lack of bicep swivel. Otherwise, it's a super fun, big, chunky toy.
Nice but I got the old one that isn't plastic and that's so mutch better
You don't have the arms in the ports all the way. Try snapping the arms in the ports more, that's why you're having trouble with the sound effects and the arms keep coming out easily.
How much is each lion?
Didn't SOC put out a Voltron? I wonder how it compares to this one.
The SOC Voltron is very nice, probably my favorite toy iteration. The price point is around $300. It has a nice transformation, very similar to the Matchbox figure with a better face sculpt and lions that are very poseable. It also comes with a slew of weapons for both Voltron and the lions as well as a weapons rack for them to be displayed upon. The Blitzway may be even nicer, but it's also more than twice as expensive. And I stand by the SOC also due to the fact that there is a SOC Vehicle Voltron in the same scale, which is great for display purposes.
Do u own any of the more expensive Voltrons from Japan from the past 5 odd years? I don’t recall u doing a video, but I don’t remember a lot of things lol
