    Wait, Playmates got the license? I hope they do more than just do Voltron.

    Cool idea, but don't count on it actually happening if it gets enough votes. Playmate's has a master toy license for the new series, so Lego will need to go to them for the licensing. I wouldn't count on that working out.

    Looks amazing. :)  I take it that's a repaint of the Gokin King of Beasts Voltron? Because it looks nothing like the 30th anniversary mold at all.

    Yeah looks like it is the v2 redesigned version they did after they got the licensing rights to call it voltron

    I'm still wondering what's going on with the Madtoys revised golion. Is it still in license purgatory?

    I believe so. I know they're supposed to re-release it with revisions this year. But this Dark Voltron caught my eye instead.

    Dunno honestly.

    I got it from a seller in Hong Kong who gave me free shipping on it :D 
    Oh, and I just realized while looking elsewhere, it's supposed to release mid-month. So maybe....I might get him at the end of this month if not early next month :D  I can't wait.

    Hopefully this new version will be easier to find online. Though I can already tell that it'll likely cost a fortune.

    There isn't any so far which means we'll likely see them at SDCC next month which will make sense because that would be a perfect place to promote the line and likely show a preview of the next season of Voltron Legendary Defender too.

    I doubt we'll see anything at SDCC if it's not due out until this time next year.

    my fingers are crossed that playmates gives us something awesome, but i really just expect more of the same from them. going by their turtles line, i have almost no hope for something great. i can see them just using the bandai model of zords. super easy, practically no articulation.. and with the design, i highly doubt it'll be accurate, and going by their history of paint.... oh boy, this could get ugly.

    the trendmasters remote control voltron?
