Image of Assembled Voltron from Mattel's Club Lion Force
We've seen it in the case at SDCC, now we have an official shot from Mattel. |

I have the sub for this line. I think it's worth it to own a Big Ass Voltron.

for some reason i have a strong desire to purchase this.
i imagine that its obscenely expensive if it has 'club' in it. |

Yes, the pilots actually fit inside the lions. Hatch closes and everything.

The pilots fit in, and the hatches close with them in. You can fit two drivers in the blue lion to accommodate Sven.
This is more of an update to the original PLASTIC version that had an entire toyline (castle, action figs, etc), not the smaller metal version. Same thing with the original; the pilots fit in. I kind of like the white legs just because it's a little different. I still have the original, and the chrome held up pretty well, but it doesn't need to be 100% identical for me. It's close enough, so I joined.

the thing that excited me about this interview is the fact that the lions will be able to achieve a proper "A stance". that's freakin awesome. in the photos released thus far they've looked like bricks.
i'm still not crazy about the leg color. i simply do not like the fact that they are so light. |

I also bit the bullet on this one. Want the real kicker? I *never* watched Voltron. I heard about it as a kid, but never watched it. Didn't know when it was on, not even sure if it even aired here or if we had the channel that aired it. Never knew anything about it other than it having robot lions (that lets face it, look more like mountain lion/panther/stripeless tiger/wildcat or a lioness) piloted by youths that formed together to make a giant robot humanoid.
My nephew(who was only a year younger than me) had the red lion and the fat pilot who had black hair. I found the toy extremely brittle and the legs began to snap off. The closest thing we had that I saw was Saber Rider, and that show kicked serious ass. Sweet theme song. Cool characters. Wild West meets Giant Robo. The Bismarck was the shit and he was voiced by Optimus Prime himself. Anyhow, I signed up because this toy looks freaking amazing and thus was worth it for me to buy. I still haven't watched Voltron, by the way. I don't have any other subscriptions, not to DC Universe, not to Ghostbusters (which I was a huge fan of to ridiculous proportions), not to MOTUC, but I signed up to Voltron because it just looked like a must have toy whether you're a fan or not. :] |

I'm very unimpressed with these and really wish I'd broken down and picked up the Masterpiece one while it was easily available(and cheaper too).

I joined a couple weeks ago. I'm actually thrilled about the white color. I've been wanting a giant cartoon accurate Voltron for years. Cool metallic versions already exist in several forms.
