Voltron Force Looks Like Pure Garbage

I just saw the trailer for Voltron Force, which is a new version of the original 1980s animated series and I have to tell you that it looks like utter garbage! Why would they do such a disservice to the original with the badly drawn animations, and CGI? What’s up with the terrible mixing of styles between the lions and humans? Nicktoons needs to go back to the drawing board with this one.

Voltron Camera

Made in 1985, this Voltron Camera toy starts out as a mild-mannered SLR (inset), but then converts into Voltron: Defender of the Universe! The top part of his body is actually a working 110 camera, while the big “SLR” lens is a fake. Made in Macau and sold by Impulse Ltd. of Missouri.

Voltron – Defender of the Universe

With Thundercats, Speed Racer, and Voltron, the 80′s own the title of “The Most Badass Cartoons Ever Produced.” Voltron skyrocketted to the #1 cartoon spot when it was released in 1984, and created a merchandising frenzy in the toy industry. The original Voltron diecast metal set, “Godaikin Golion” by Bandai is going for $1000 these days on eBay! Luckily, I never opened mine as badly as I wanted to play with it. Take a trip down memory lane, and watch as the Voltron Force assembles into action.
