Vintage Voltron Robot Toys for Sale

Lion VoltronThe mission of the Voltron Force was to protect the planet Arus from the evil king Zarkon and his force of Robeasts. This incarnation was based on the Japanese series Beast King Go Lion, and was heavily reedited to conform to the stricter standards of US television for children’s programming. Incidentally, the robot featured in this season was referred to as Voltron III, a reference to the original planned Voltron continuity, which featured three versions of the Voltron robot.

The most notable change in the transition from Go Lion to Voltron was the way death was dealt with on the show. While Go Lion treated the deaths of characters frankly, in Voltron, the subject had to be avoided entirely. There were two main ways this was achieved: either by adding dialogue indicating that characters that were seemingly killed (i.e. in an explosion) actually survived, or by referring to them as robots if scenes showing their destruction could not be avoided. In addition, the opening scenes of Go Lion show the pilots returning to Earth to find it has been devastated by a nuclear war and its entire populace killed; Voltron eliminated this opening entirely and cut directly to the pilots arriving on Arus.

Although the original Voltron TV series ended after its second season (which was adopted from the Japanese series Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV and which had no relation to the Go Lion series), there were a number of follow up projects, including a TV special (Voltron: Fleet of Doom, which combined scenes from both Go Lion and Dairugger) and a CGI series, Voltron: the Third Dimension (which aired in 1998).

The popularity of these robotic animation shows lead to several lines of action figures based on the series. Different toy companies such as Matchbox, Toynami and Bandai released different quality sets of Voltron, made from plastic or die cast metal. Many toy collectors enjoy buying vintage Voltron toy robots from the 1980s-1990s which are for sale currently by collectors. You can collect classic die cast or plastic made in Japan robot toys based on the classic cartoon Voltron: Defender of the Universe which includes both Lion Voltron Force and Vehicle Voltron Force. In Japan, these two Voltrons anime were based on two separate Japanese animation television shows. Lion Voltron was called GoLion and Vehicle Voltron was called Dairugger.
