Playmates Toys to release Voltron Classic ’84 Legendary Lions #StreamTeam

All Five Classic Voltron Lions

I received some incredibly exciting Voltron news yesterday. Netflix has a special series called Voltron ’84 and it is great to see those classic shows with new intros by the current cast and creators of Voltron Legendary Defender. We love Voltron Legendary Defender in our home and I’ve even got the kids to check out the classic show because of it. But as of now they haven’t been able to play with or even see the classic Voltron lions because, well, I never had any. Of all the great toys and games of the 80’s I was in the Transformers camp and therefore not in the Voltron camp and so I never had those toys. Much of this had to do with how the TV stations were set up in that time. Yes, there was a time before cable TV and you had to be close enough to a station to get the signal and so we did not get the signal for the channel that had Voltron at my home. I could only see it at my cousins’ house. So I barely ever saw the show. It is hard to have a huge connection with a show if you only get to see it every couple of months and not even full episodes. But, that all changes in January!!

This January stores will begin carrying the Voltron Classic ’84 Legendary Lions! They lions look spectacular and I cannot wait to see them and play with them. What’s more I really want to be able to form the classic Voltron in all his 16″ glory!

The Kids React to Voltron Season 2 Finale

The Kids React to VOLTRON Season 2
Photo-A-Day #4313

The kids and I watched the last two episodes of Voltron Season 2 tonight. The certainly packed a ton of action into the whole season. We watched as the action got more and more intense from the beginning of episode 12 to the very end of episode 13. I was sort of nervous about the finale because I had heard the possibility of there being a major death in the episode. I can’t say whether or not a death happened but it was intense.

I was also worried because we watched all of Trollhunters together and something really tragic happened at the end of the season. It hit Eva really hard. I was hoping that this wouldn’t be on that same level. They are two separate shows. They have two different vibes. We love the Paladins and we love the Trollhunters. Both finales gave me the chills with the stakes being so high. There were characters that I feared for and some that I cheered for. There were tears and gasps of amazement. I loved the action of Voltron. They really pulled out all the stops on those last episodes. The action was incredible. The kids loved it and the cliffhanger of an ending makes us eager for Season 3.
