Absolutely, 100% inarguably better quality than the original series. But that doesn't necessarily make it great.

On the down side, the plot is much slower-moving, there are too many throwaway episodes. Unfortunately it feels like it's stuck between trying to be a kiddie show with a lot of lame plots and dumb jokes, and being something smarter, with a more complex plot and mature storyline.

On the upside, there are some great ideas, the animation is excellent, and the character designs & main cast are good. The lions also look great, but I am REALLY not a fan of the combined mode.

That's probably the one thing the old show does better... the Voltron robot itself is just better-looking.

On topic... this new Voltron figure looks AMAZING. We've been getting a lot of high-end Voltron figures in recent years, so it hardly feels necessary, but the aesthetic details here are gorgeous. The articulation is a huge plus.

Probably too rich for my blood, but maybe this means I'll be able to pick up a SOC Voltron on the secondary market for a good price soon.
