This review is from: Toynami Voltron Defender of the Universe Metallic 25th Anniversary Gift Set Voltron Lion Force (Toy)

My main disappointment is with the description as "Metallic".

Voltron the concept is awesome. If you're an 80's born kid, you know the nostalgia that you would hope for in a "25th anniversary" Metallic edition. It's like 90's born kids playing with Power Ranger's Megazord in about 10 years from now. But this disappointed.

I had the original metal Voltron when I was younger. The one where you can launch the lions' heads by pressing a button, and where each one could fire a plastic bullet inserted from a different part of each individual lion's body.

This metallic version, I hoped, would replace that since I no longer have it on hand. But this edition is plastic all around. You can tell just by the weight of it. If it looks like plastic, feels like plastic, weighs like plastic...then it's plastic.

Also, this didn't have the cool features of the lion heads being able to be launched via a button nor did this come with plastic bullets or the other neat little intricacies of each lion. It just comes with the Sword and Shield.

I would have easily paid more for the real metallic version had this been described as "Plastic". I just wanted to let others know before purchasing this maybe expecting the metal version we may all had while growing up.

I'm happy i found "my beloved childhood hero" toy once again. me and my friends used to play with the metal (old model) lions, although we really couldn't form Voltron (the lions weren't complete); we had so much fun playing with the lions.

As much as i loved (and still love) Voltron, this make is not and cannot be as durable as the ones we had in the 80's, but its ok though, cos i don't intend to "play" with it anymore ("wink-wink") - just the Joy of having it in my collection is enough for me.

I purchased this Voltron for my son. It's a nice figure to add to your collection. I think the major issue with this Voltron is the durability. It seems fragile. I don't think it can hold a fall if someone would drop it. Overall I'm happy with it. It's more of a collectors item in my opinion.
