Those who think that these are the originals, we should clarify and emphasize that these are the Playmates 84 Classic remakes based off the originals. I have the originals, and they were die-cast metal with chrome legs (and heavy) . They all shot either missiles or their heads (green and red), but later versions removed the projectiles due to safety concerns. I guess too many kids shot their eyes out. Lol. Nice vid! 👍🏼
Oh boy, don't I know it! I had him as a child. Me and my brothers used to play with him, which consisted of throwing the lions at each other. To this day, I'm very happy that I didn't brain my damage
Pidge: "I'd be hurt if you didn't ask." The 80's Transformers Fan: "Another reason why I don't like Pidge." LOL! Great video Sir! Happened upon it (Voltron fan, here) and I really enjoyed it.
I love both of these figures and I should had gotten the Netflix version sooner and this 84 version as well. Oh well, still these are a collectible to be had :) Great review too, keep it up :)
Along with the lions rotation for the head, the thought of a crossover where Voltron meets Transformers, along with aiding Autobots, they fight the deceptions combiners, but that's just me.
I truly truly appreciate that more than you can know. Years ago I was harassed by viewer that was being low key racist. And this person kept referring to my hands being black. I immediately caught on and blocked the person and they created multiple accounts and continued to try to harass me but it spurred me on to continued to make video's. So again I really appreciate you watching and commenting thanks so much!
The legendary black lion comes with a shield. Do ypu see the wings, try to pull it and then you got the shield. But... you need to make a homemade connector for that two wings to make a shield
The 80's Transformers Fan Since I am currently Watching the Netflix Voltron Legendary Defender I’m going to pick that one. I do love your old school Voltron though. You are right about the sword, it should have been huge and metallic.
@@80sTransfromersFan I have the Lego version of the Classic 84 Voltron trying to decide on whether to get had the Legendary (Netflix) version as well. I think I will now but the original or the Hyper-Phase (SDCC 2018)? Hmmm...
People always say that , but I actually show my face a lot. Check out my channel update videos or my toy hunting videos. And especially when I review really big toys that require me to get out of the chair 😁
@@80sTransfromersFan the one that talks... I currently have 2. 1981 versions. One is the diamond belt version. I also have the the vehicle version. These are cool too
You made a good point about no robeast....but I don't think they ever produced a truly cartoo6 accurate voltron...they made optimus prime and did well...even unicron...but for some reason voltron us extremely hard and it's because he was so much more flexible that the other robots...the toys just seem blocky...but each generation gets better with more cartoon details.

Right on, I had the original also, and I seem to remember the cats having cockpits where you could insert figurines.
Nothing beats the original Voltron! Hands down!
I think Soul of Chogokin is the best version.

Great review! I have both of these just the same, they're in my closet right now. I wish I hadn't sold my MattyCollector Voltron.
Me too! I never got the Matty version because I didn't know about the Matty Collector thing at the time.
My son Yussuf is now watching your channel
This mug is DOPE !!!!! I had that jawn when I was a kid.
You lucky sob, I can’t believe you still have all this awesome stuff. Great video man, really takes me back.
I’m still envious though
It's crazy that they never made a villians to fight
Exactly! In over 35 years!
4 years still good
I meant 5 years

Scale = wasnt it weird that the robobeasts were like 5 inches tall? love voltron!
Nice job on the review bro. Good idea comparing both Playmates versions. I have both and I love them.

I just ordered mine today from Walmart , super excited to get it. Thanks for the review.
The Walmart reissue is at a lower price than the first release.
@@80sTransfromersFan it was $59.00. I wish I still had my original but he got jacked up with my pellet gun.
Peter Cullen has a History with voltron as well
Wait? Peter Cullen aka Optimus prime was in voltron? Who did he play?
Great review George. Now I have to get my Voltron figure for my collection.
Which one the vintage version of the Netflix version?
The 80's Transformers Fan Since I am currently Watching the Netflix Voltron Legendary Defender I’m going to pick that one. I do love your old school Voltron though. You are right about the sword, it should have been huge and metallic.
Are both of those voltron lions interchangeable? Can the classic 84 interchange with the Netflix one?
No, they are not compatible.
I been saying the same thing as well! Make the legs disappear!
Is the 84 classic compatible with the original lionbot 1 say if you wanted to use the 84 classic black lion with the original line
No not at all! The classics is much larger.
Im contemplating on getting the legends toy. I love the new one.
It's a very nice quality set.
Can you switch parts between the classic and legendary defenders? Thanks!
No the tabs are different.
Netflix yellow lion is impossible to find. Is it possible to use another blue lion in yellow lion's place? Thanks!
@@joycelynilao8999 yes you can.
yes, you can setup each black lion, with either set of arms/ legs.
Can you swap the limbs between the 2 different lions? I found a local guy who has the limbs for the netflix BUT I have the 85 Black Lion
No, you can not interchange the loin sets.
@@80sTransfromersFan Thanks I guess I will just have to unload the 85 black lion. I can't find the others anywhere at a reasonable price
I love your videos ❤❤❤😘🎁
Thank you!
Man you look like you love 1984 Voltron very, very much. It is cool beacause i am too)))
Yes and I purchased it at a great price!
@@80sTransfromersFan Congratulations! And i purchased it only few days ago with 150$ second hand in very nice condition)))
Really great review, do you really like the new legendary bottom compared to the old version
Very detailed review. Thanks!
Your welcome and thank you!

was that the really big voltron, because I remember they sold one like two or three feet tall
18 inches!
George, you're alright with me. Great review!
Thanks man!
Did they evwr make a Vehicle Force Voltron like this one?
Audie Bavington no not yet.
Is there a ferret version?
I’d love to see voltron vs devastator
Or omega supreme or metroplex
Nice toys bro,I like it👍
Thanks bro!
I like Voltron the 84 I want one I am a fan
To be honest the battle damaged nextflix non transforming voltrons sword is like a butter knife compared to the classic voltron sword
Great Review.......
Thank you!
@@80sTransfromersFan welcome... keep up the good REVIEWS...
Anyone measured this completed Voltron from foot to wing tips? Curious how big it is next to the LEGO Voltron set.
Ah, nvm, he says 16" in the video.
Were do get it
I purchased mine at Target.
This is awesome bro
Thanks 😊
It's sick
One like is one prayer for Sven.
Man I'm jealous 😆
i got the cĺassic black lion for my grades

The wings for the shield
Nice! I love voltron! Have you seen the new 28 inch mp10 yet by "LewinResources?"
Horsie Yes I have! On the website that's taking preorders they say they Do Not Ship To North America 😤😤😢
There's always ebay. :D
Love 💘 man wow my favorite toy
Awesome 😮
There's 3 Voltron's 🤖
I like the new one but hate it at the same time because it dose not transform ;(
rick and morty algorithm brought me here
The same people made both Voltron
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
i didnt know this version existed
Which one the Netflix? Or the vintage one?
@@80sTransfromersFan the one that talks... I currently have 2. 1981 versions. One is the diamond belt version. I also have the the vehicle version. These are cool too
Blazing Sword Voltron is anime accurate.
3rd dimensions and stealth and dino voltron
You made a good point about no robeast....but I don't think they ever produced a truly cartoo6 accurate voltron...they made optimus prime and did well...even unicron...but for some reason voltron us extremely hard and it's because he was so much more flexible that the other robots...the toys just seem blocky...but each generation gets better with more cartoon details.
i like the Netflix version better more alive
Your missing The Vehicle 🚙Voltron
To this day I still dont have a place to display my 2017 Power Rangers movie megazord because bandai made that thing massive for no reason at all
For me, 84's Voltron is better ;-)
You lost all your weight man congrats
Darren Smith not all but thanks!
Go voltron
The Arms are too big and the legs are too small
Someone else said the same thing but I don't see it.
@@80sTransfromersFan it still looks bad ass. I iucked out and got him for 100$ + Shipping
@@christisrisen6774 cool!
@@80sTransfromersFan minus the accessories. Just sword and shield came with. Hey what do you think of the Blitzway Voltron, are you getting it?
@@christisrisen6774 I have it recorded but I'm thinking about canceling it.
