They then recall a legend of a mighty robot, named Voltron that once stood and fought against the forces of Doom. Pursued by Doom Robot fighters, the five explorers managed to reach Planet Arus. Hunk's brute strength and Pidge's agility, they are able to break out of their meager cell and hijack a Doom Slave ship. Knowing that they would be used as entertainment for the citizens of Doom in Haggar's Robeast arena, they work out an escape plan, to find a way out of the Doom Castle and a way to get back to Arus.
However, they are captured by Yurak before they could land on the beautiful planet. Responding to a call for help, Galaxy Garrison sends a team of five young space explorers, Keith, Lance, Sven, Hunk and Pidge, hoping they could reach the devastated planet, in hopes to offer help.
I was fortunate to come across one at a very good price (thanks again, Jasper D de Lumen!).The Planet Arus has been under attack by the ruthless King Zarkon for many years. I do wish Lego included the weapons and kept some of the original articulation for the lions. The final combined form does make one stand and notice it on the shelf, all thanks to its immense size and colors. You don’t get any swivel rotation on the arms sadly. The elbow articulation works on a hinge concept. You can’t rotate the hands around either. It’s more a “peg and slot” mechanism at work here. The hands don’t really open up to grip anything. Stickers are included to recreate the vintage toy look for the lions, I just opted to leave them off. I laughed out when I realized this cross-wrench tool would form the center cross of Voltron’s chest. The design includes the use of rubberized tires at the soles of Voltron’s feet, to allow for better traction. I wish they used black plastic instead of gray so that the gap doesn’t stick out that much. But I have to say I don’t like the gap on Voltron’s forehead. The other lions have a modest amount of leg movement.Ĭlever how they worked the eyes in.
Voltron stands roughly 16 inches tall, but factoring in the wings, it’s more like 17.5 inches.ĭue to the nature of Lego Voltron’s weight, the figure has zero leg articulation. Tayag ever released a blueprint of what pieces he used to make the weapons and how give the lions their missing articulation? Sadly, the set does not come with any accessories for the lions (Leandro’s original design came with the Jaw Blades) and the lions have lost some of their articulation (the submitted models showed the lions being capable of turning their heads more freely), but I guess it is what it is.
#VOLTRON DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE ALL TINS FULL#
len_d69, this Lego Ideas project got greenlit by hitting 10,000 supporters in just 3 weeks! For the full interview with the designer, kindly go here:Īssembling the whole thing took me roughly about 8-9 hours total. The brainchild of Malaysia-based Filipino Leandro Tayag, a.k.a. Unlike the arm lions, the leg lions run on “peg and slot” connections for their legs. I think this is the first time the finish product’s dimensions are listed on the box? Lego Ideas Voltron Defender of the Universe setīox is big! Measures roughly 19 x 15 x 4.75 inches.
