Voltron Legendary Defender by Playmates

[Gold]

Finally! We get a look at the upcoming toys from the Netflix series. The toys are done by the same company that makes the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures.



Here're the "Basic" $9.99 figures.












Basic Voltron (non-transforming)




Basic Robeast Myzax




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Legendary Lion" Class figures
-More details and comes with weapons
-each lion will have 18 points of articulation (P.O.A.)
-Pilot Speeder bikes! Yes!!
-Black Lion will have 50 electronic sounds (some sounds exclusive to when Voltron is formed)

- Fully combined, Voltron will be 16" Tall!!!!!
















Each of the Legendary Lions class will cost 17.99, Except for Black, since it has electronics, it will go for $29.99




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"Ultimate Voltron"
-14" tall
-26 P.O.A.s
-Does not transform
-Features electronics
-$39.99






Oddly, for me, the "Ultimate" title doesn't seem to fit the toy, as it supposedly cannot transform, and is shorter than the fully combined form of the "Legendary Lion" version. Go figure.

Here's the combined form, at least the lion legs do become hidden, but the arms look seriously misproportioned.

Just saw this video:

So the Diecast Lions are supposed to be $15 a pop, including the oversized Black lion. The combined diecast Voltron will be 8" tall or so. Out in August 2017?


I love the pilot figures, I didn't realize there were two scales for those (detailed 6" and the smaller 4" versions that come with the lions/Paladin series).
