View Full Version : Voltron
Does anybody remember the cartoon, Voltron??
That was my absolute favourite as a little one. I had every piece of merchandise that you could possibly have. They have tried to create other cartoons like Voltron - but nothing can ever match.

I still have a mini-Voltron toy on my shelves!
(near all my Transformers :cool: )
Voltron ruled!! I had every piece that made up the full size Voltron. I also had many GI Joes, Transformers and of course some Dino-Riders!

The original Voltron was the best. There was a second one based in space where there were about 50 parts that made up Voltron, but that was never as good as the original.

I was ****ed off when I first heard of the Power Rangers; they ripped off Voltron so bad it wasn't funny!

Voltron was cool, I have the blue one (I think it's a foot) but it was not as cool as Battle of The Planets aka G-Force!!!

(it also explains why they made Voltron a cartoon...after about a decade of "Super Sentai" I wouldn't touch live-action shows with a bargepole either!!!)

voltron rocked, and i actually really like voltron force (the space one). i had scoured the internet for it on dvd to no avail. then i saw it in **** Smith under the title "Battle Of The Planets". It had an Australian distributor too, can't remember the details.
oops, just saw the ****. of course, it should say Penis Smith.

NOT the same thing - G-Force/BOTP was a different (but equally cool) show that the Americans also rewrote from an original Jap cartoon.

Voltron, dino riders, he-man and transformers - they don't make em like they used to :D
If only not for some crazy feckin dogs of mine most of my figures would still be in tact. Now half of them are amputees :(
btw can u get the voltron series on dvd ? i think you can get every episode of transformers (overseas at least).
