- Let's Voltron Podcast Co-Host Greg Tyler reviews all 5 Legendary Lions from Playmates Toys that combine to form Voltron from DreamWorks' Voltron Legendary Defender on Netflix.
Each Legendary Lion in this 5-figure set is purchased separately and has been available in stores like Target, Toys-R-Us, Wal-Mart, Amazon, and select comic shops since January 1, 2017.
The price of Yellow Lion, Blue Lion, Red Lion and Green Lion is $17.99 each. Black Lion, which is larger than the other Lions and has the electronic technology features, is priced at $29.99.
When all 5 Lions combine to form Voltron, it stands at 16 inches tall, has more than 50 electronic sounds and phrases, and is very poseable, all of which are demonstrated in this video review.
Let's Voltron Podcast has this review and many more Playmates Toys Voltron Legendary Defender toy reviews on our UA-cam Channel. We also talked to Jeff Trojan, VP of Marketing for Playmates Toys, during our podcast interview at LetsVoltron.com/81 - so check it out!

I just got that toy for my B day. 8/19 /2005 Thanks for showing me how to transform it! 😄
Kinda surprised no one talks about the black lions outward leg moment at the hip and the leg swivel at the knee. Thanks for highlighting this.
Pidge's sound effects were so adorable 😭😭😭😍😍😍😍
Just got all 5 today, i found 4 at my local walmart but had to travel two hours to find the black lion at a toys r us. It was worth it though! Its awesome once combined!
I love this design. Wish the megazord in the new power rangers movie looked HALF this cool!
The power Rangers could never smh
I wish I had them all already. Kind of wanted to follow along. Good job. Gettomg excited while maintaining professionalism!

Amazing video, and great review. I COMPLETELY agree with how Scary it is to separate the arms from the black lion. I really felt as though I was almost breaking the toy. I wish they added a quick separator similar to the legs. The arms (red & green lion) are a pain to separate from the body (black lion).
SFCarlosb we love the comments
The more things change, the more they stay the same. The old die-cast DotU/GoLion Voltron from the 80s was stubborn about letting Red and Green go, as well. I broke Green's tail off separating it from Black once, when I was a kid. It was heartbreaking until my Dad brought me home a replacement green. I got them all at once in the hugely expensive complete set and didn't think you could get them individually so I thought Voltron was gone for good, or at least an amputee forever!
I just got the Toys R Us set with all 5 Lions in one box for less than 90 dollars this last weekend. I have not yet had a chance to unbox the set since my man cave is still a mess and I need to clean it up and put in the new shelf units to display all the collectables that I own. Thank you for showing how to put together and take apart Voltron with my luck I would have probably have snapped either Red or Green and broken the link.
Great review! Most of the reviews I've seen never extended the Blue and Yellow lion's head. Poor Rangers, became targets :)
Lendy Tayag I like the original Power Rangers, too!
Very helpful video! Now I know exactly what to get my friend for his birthday.
Well done! Very thorough and easy to understand. Playmates did an AMAZING job with this set! Hey, I saw what you did to those Rangers!

This toy is amazing, Triton recently got them all and it is now his favorite toy! Thanks for the video
I actually have two sets of these lions to custom paint and make look really good, both as Voltron and the lions. Haven't opened them yet to see what I'm working with so this video really helped me get a feel for what I can look forward to and what customizing needs to be done.
I'm buying this tomorrow, I used to own the OG Voltron, can't wait for Season 5. Great Video! Go Lion!
Amazingly well done review, very professional! Great figures, too! Go out and get them everyone!
I remeber wanting this 6 years ago, recently rewatched the show and its still one of my favourites. Any red lion fans?
Red lion is the best
I just found the black lion today, I'm on the hunt for the rest. man these are hard to find lol

This is the best review for these toys. Thanks!
Gregory Gleason Thank you for the kind words! These are seriously awesome toys.
Thanks for the amazing review, Voltron is my favorite Netflix original, I have to get this right away
they shouldve include Blam Blam Blam lol
Beautiful review! I am looking forward to getting all lions myself ^^ tysvm for creating. Most excellent job on this review.
Great review! Thanks. Especially found the comparison between Combining and Ultimate to be very helpful.
Super awesome and complete review. Gotta have it! Thanks for the review.
GoTubeKids Thanks for the kind words!
Hi

The ending made me laugh so much, i loved it. Thanks for this relaxing review. Love your new subscriber.
im 14 and i want this
Dva.izuru I'm 14 as well ,and I don't care what people say I still collect toys. :)
same here! I just got Blue today and I already want the others!
wonderloom I'm 20 and I want this
I'm 16 and so do I. :)
same
The missing paint is nothing you can't fix yourself. Looks very cool, I wish they weren't so expensive. I was wondering if they had actual transforming lions, the stores here only have the Basic figures so I didn't even know these existed until I saw your video.
I might start collecting these next weekend,or hopefully soon.and also,good video! And real quick, I want to show you the way I will get the legendary lions. Black,green,red,blue,yellow.
I have watched every single kind of Voltron ever made
the toys are so good quality! the one draw back is the voices. They don't should like any of them. Is this the old version toys?
The voices are generic voice actors, not the actual voice actors. We talked about this on our podcast interview with Jeff Trojan from Playmates Toys. The voice actors on the show are union actors, which would cost a great deal for Playmates Toys, and delay the production of the toys. This is a normal practice for many toy manufacturers to use generic voices in electronic toys.
Amanda Rivera no
Japanese toys do not have this problem, specially in toy-related shows such as Kamen Rider and Super Sentai.
I had to rewrite mine with an arduino using cartoon samples
Lets Voltron they are not the real voice actors
front hips... YOU MEAN SHOULDERS!!! Cats have shoulder blades. but no collar bones.
Jim Bones I never studied robot lion anatomy. :)
I know you being logical but is is a robot
It’s a toy
I can tell you study bones because of your user
Ouuuu, these are out already?! Got to get on the ball!
Bought it years ago. Finally unboxed and assembled it. It's alright. I wish there was more head articulation. I think I'm spoiled with the TF siege figures haha
Super Cool Figures !!!! Plus THEYRE COMBINING !!!!!!! Must to say is: Sulit na Sulit Ito Grabe :D XD
Sooooo wonderfully done and the ending was very funny haha~
I subscribed immediately because of your name and I knew this whole channel would probably be all about voltron
I never though anyone could make Volrton boring , but so somehow managed to bull it off, bravo
if i gave a like for every time you said "ratcheting joints" you would have a lot of likes!
But you can only like the video once
@@Kodaiva r/woosh
the repetition is real!
Also "Legendary"
Greattoy
Very great review ! I was lucky enough to find all the Lions at the thriftstore and this video was perfect to learn all the functions and how to put the voltron together.
I agree 👍. Just picked up two of these for $20 a piece at a local yard sale and this video helped alot and stopped me from breaking them lol. Really brought brought back the memories from my childhood.
thanks for showing how to disassemble the lions, it helped me out
Just wanted to say thanks for showing me some intricacies of the toys that I missed in the instructions (¡excitement!) and others that aren't made clear (arm detachment).
I have had my Black Lion since January but only Two days ago picked up the others on a trip since where I live so few retailers carry them. Again thanks
I like Voltron a lot and I watch it almost every day and lions are my favorite cat species and the lion is the king of Africa

Honestly...Who thumbs-downed THIS? Great video - Thank you!
I want this SOOOOO dang bad. Looks cool and has awesome playability
these things are hard to find at their MSRP... I only have the Black Lion as of now
absolutely amazing toy. this would be a dream for any kid to have all of them.
It’s not just you, the green lion is the hardest to get off (and on) Voltron. I just got this set today and it’s great!
Keep up the awesome content!
As a child I watched Voltron, but the toys weren't available by the time I turned 5. By then Transformers had transfixed me. I am 33 years old now and have been binge-watching the new Dreamworks series on Netflix. I am a child all over again! Then I found this video, then I went out and treated myself to the Green Lion today. I plan on collecting all of them. The only thing I will say. The paint job on these toys is missing fine details that the picture on the box has. The hips of the Green lion lean slightly left or right. No in-between. There was no need for the waist joint to have the click positioning. The joints of this toy click into position which is good and tight, but I predict wear n' tear over time if given to a child. The size of these lions are fantastic! You should see the Black lion in the shop. It's huge! Can't wait to collect the rest. £20 for each Lion except the Black Lion which is £35. Worth it if you've dreamed of owning Voltron. Gonna buy paints and super thin brushes to fill in the details for my collection.
Been on a bit of a Voltron binge lately and just finished watching a bunch of reviews of classic DotU Voltrons and finally this, and this one beats out even the huge money DotU combiners. There's just a lot of articulation and pleasing fit and proportions here that even the modern retools of GoLion lack. I hope the old school design gets a toy that matches this level of quality eventually, but for now, even though it hurts my nostalgia bone, this is the one I want.
I despise the plainness of the sword, but that's the cartoon's fault, not the toy's.
*cRying* This review is so great! The detail is on point! I need these in my life. I'm about to turn 14 so I hope my mom gets me them XD
This looks awesome👍😎👍
Awesome toy. Ultimate version is more show accurate but in order to get a transforming version they did a pretty good job. The only issue I have with this guy would be the proportions, stability and clumsy articulation. But that's just me nitpicking :)
Thanks for this vid
It inspired me to get it! Lucky for me they had a pack that had all lions so I didn’t have to go digging for all of them
Awesome review I think I will pick up these lions
cool as they look I miss my diecast lions i had as a kid i'd buy these lions if they come out with a diecast set like transformers did for there anniversary
Mildly disappointed Hunk doesn't yell "I'm a leg!" when you connect the yellow lion.
I didn't hear him say "I'll form the head!" Did I miss it somewhere?
I almost lost the speeders when I opened my red and blue lion cried a bit and then realised I'm stepping on it
Who the fuck is ryan seaman
Yuri is my S U C C wut
I have the Legendary lions version. I almost bought the basic set thinking they can combine, found out that was the Legendary set. When I got the Legendary set, my blue lion doesn't click to the black lions leg but yellow does, blue easily gets stuck to the black lion leg, red and green take a lot of force to remove. I had a heck of a time removing all 5 lions from their own boxes. Black, green, yellow, red lions I could easily find at my Walmart, Blue lion I had to order online. Now my problem is where to put the 16" Voltron when the lions are combined, the lions can easily set on my self when they separated but having a tall ass 16" Voltron just looks cool.
Pidge sounds like Slippy from Star Fox in this.
That's flipping amazing.
That's one of the coolest toys I have ever seen !
I would love it if you got the wings of the black lion as well
Haha! That ending with the transformer! 😂
Is it possible to get the loins into a sitting pose like when they first found blue he was sitting
Edit: sorry when they are in package they sit but black is not sitting so can he and is there a better sitting position then the one when they are in package or
Jason Pax yes it is
Great review!!! Thanks so much for sharing such detail. Voltron Legend Defender seems to have more play-ability than Voltron Metal Defender. You've helped me tremendously in making a purchase decision. Entertaining! Subbed and liked. :)
Great review. Thanks guys!
Are you having problems removing the arms from Voltron?
ua-cam.com/video/arJ3ASiXRNA/v-deo.htmlm30s
I've found this ^^^ video at around the 18:30 mark does a great job explaining how to remove the lions arms.
This is an excellent review, thank you very much!
Can you tell me if these (or any) voltron toys will be released in europe (in my case austria)? i'm in love with these lions and i don't want to have to sell my car to be able to afford them :/
We're hoping to get more information about any possible global releases for Wave 1 of the Playmates Toys at New York Toy Fair in a couple weeks. If any news comes out, we'll announce it on the podcast.
great, thank you!
if anyone else is having trouble detaching the arms, I can confirm that tricks he just mentioned/used actually work. just be careful.
I like this design more than the classic. And the articulation seems satisfactory. Wish Bandai Chogokin would remake this to be more show accurate as they did the classic.
Was I the only one that was humming the Voltron theme while the guy was connecting the lions? -It takes about as long for it to transform here as in the show...- oops I didn't say that out loud
Voltron always my favorite.. i had a red lion and yellow when i was 10 years old and i wanted the other lions .. and really good that still theres voltron toys
Great review! Sir, I have a question. Does your green lion open up more easily than the red lion? Because I notice something in my green and red lions. My green lion is easier to open up than my red lion and the red lions more tigher when I close it up from lion form to the arm form. Are you having same issues regarding the green lion? Please let me know. Thank you!
Michael Caoile My Red and Green Lions open up equally easily.
I don't suppose you have any advise on where to pick up the kind of stands you use in this video? I picked up the box set of these figures and I really want to display the lions form and pose them in flight.
Great review. Can the wings form a shield?
aethril1 Unfortunately no, but some creative customizers have been able to make it work!
Ive had these on my shelf collecting dust, and last year introduced my boy to Voltron and showed him my Lions. We are letting him have one a week till his birthday, and today he got Black Lion. Our green Lion would not release out of its socket at all, and snapped off at the waist. Any idea how to get to loose? Great video though, we watched it to show him how to assemble and seperate the pieces.
A great review, thanks !!!!
Burger King has Voltron toys!😀😀😀
i will die a happy man if i can find all five, they are super hard to get right now.
V
Do the wings open on the black lion like the show?
Can the red wings on the back pop off and form the shield, or are they permanent? I've tried to pull them off but don't want to break them.
This is good, but green lion and the red lion is look weird when they are combine.
I thought this was a review,not a documentary!
Damn, this is the coolest shit. Will definitely have to get as a collectable.
Back in the eighties and early nineties, toys with recorded voices sounded like rocks grating on concrete.
For people who looking for the whole set. Mostly Toys R Us is carrying the box set for $100. It the same figures as he showing the video. You will need to call Toys R us because they don't have them listed on the website. I don't think Walmart and Target will not carry them due to fact that they won't be able to sell single pack. I have single packs plus the whole set box. The box set look really awesome.
i want to collect them. i saw the box set at toys r us today. i know it is cheaper than buying them all individually. would they be more desirable individually later on the years or all in one box set. i don't mind the price i just want what will be worth more later on... lol
As right now the single packs are everywhere Walmart, Target, Toy R Us, etc. The box set so far I seen only at Toy R Us. I like the box set to me it a fair deal.
+teamprojects13 I noticed all the box voltron sets at toyrsus have sloppier paint jobs than the single packaged ones.
Depends the one I have match same as the single pack. If you want prefect than I would recommend die-cast ones.
do you think this is a good alternative to buy instead of the soul of chogokin voltron?
It depends on your tastes. If you like Classic Voltron more than Voltron Legendary Defender, than SOC Voltron is your choice, albeit a more expensive choice. However if you like the newest Voltron on Netflix more, you have to go with this fully electronic Voltron that has over 50 phrases and sounds and has the technology to know if you haven't combined all the lions or you've formed Voltron.
But it does have something unique: ElEcTrOnIcS! :D
i have all of these lions, although some accessories are missing, the projectiles are very easy to lose, so take good care of them, also, my blue lions jaw broke when i got it, it no longer snaps shut and it just stays open all the time, do you have any solutions for this? or is this irreparable?
I love it but could of disappointed in the legs just a little bit the thing over there head feel like they should be up more
Are any of these on Amazon?
GamingLycan 646 Yes, they are
Haha.. Testing weapons on Power rangers
JB Bros a
JB Bros ft
for a bunch of douchebags that think Power Rangers is a childish show
should look in the mirror because Voltron destroys monsters the some as power rangers do
so I guess Voltron is a childish show now two huh
JB Bros xp

All of the Lions except black are $21.99 at Toys r us.
Thing is, lance’s canon is not an ice beam canon. Its a sonic canon (blasts vibrations)
And Keiths canon is not a magma canon. Its a Rail gun. (Blasts up to 3 lasers at a time)
Their Ice and Magma canons come from their jaws.
I watched another review about this toy and disapointed me but now that watched this review I am sure i wanta to buy it
We think you would love it!
LOOOOL! No one can take the transformer down!
Call the Black Lion!
So which is recommended? The combiner set or the ultimate set?
Rider Of Justice The combiner set gives you the option of having the lions separate or combined into Voltron, and it's bigger. Ultimate Voltron is poseble and electronic, but it's always in Voltron form. Combiner set is great, but comes at a higher price tag, so it's up to you and your wallet.
Rider Of Justice
Lets Voltron

nice, soul of chogokin quality and then some, I'm a fan of the original Golion/Voltron series but I prefer the current toy
Is the Blue Lions Cannon actually called an Ice Cannon? Because in the show, it's a Sound Blast/Sonar.
Team VLCN The toy packaging calls the weapon an Ice Cannon. Its "real" name might very well be different.
is still l watch this series i didn’t know there where 5 lions i’m might get them and form Voltron myself thank-you 🤩
