 From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe comes a legend. The legend of Voltron, defender of the universe. A mighty robot loved by good, feared by evil. As Voltron's legend grew, peace settled across the galaxy. On planet Earth, a galaxy alliance was formed. Together with the good planets of the solar system, they maintained peace throughout the universe, until a new horrible menace threatened the galaxy. Voltron was needed once more. This is a story of a super force of space explorers, specially trained and sent by the alliance to bring back Voltron, defender of the universe. Hey guys, welcome back to Come Again. This is Shannon. I don't have a book review for you this week. However, I was at my local Walmart just a little bit ago, and I picked up the legendary black line from Dreamworks and Netflix's Voltron legendary defender. This is the deluxe edition that combines to assemble Voltron. As you can see, it's 16 inches according to the box. This ran me about $30 at Walmart. Go ahead and take a look at the packaging. As you can see, it's very visible from the front and from the top. Got a nice little picture of Voltron there from the sides as well. And you can see on this one, it shows each line that you can purchase to form Voltron. Very cool. I didn't see any of the other lines there in this size. They had some of the miniature ones that didn't assemble to form Voltron, but I had a black line as a kid. I lost it. I wanted to get a new one. So here it is. Unlock 50 plus phrases and sound effects. 25 plus points of articulation. Got a little description here of Voltron on the packaging here. It shows you which line you bought. Got a yellow, goldish yellow outline here for the black line. And then as you can see on the bottom, it does show you all five lines. So let's go ahead and open this thing up and take a look at the articulation. So real quick, before I take it completely out, I wanted to show you how it was sealed here. Got a couple of zip ties holding the neck, leg, waist, other leg of the line. And then you've got a couple of plastic twist ties holding the wings, this leg in place. Then you've got just this little plastic, I forget what they're called, blow mold or whatever you want to call it, holding it in place. It's a little bit of plastic here protecting the corners. All right guys, so here it is out of the package. First things first comes with a little Shiro Paladin. Now in this version of Voltron, Shiro is the pilot of the black line. In the original and third dimension as well as Voltron Force, it was Keith who piloted the black line. However, in this version it's Shiro who was actually Sven in the original series and he here's his little transportation thingy pod, whatever you want to call it. And it goes, there's an opening, as you can see here, there is a little place for your thumb. Just pull that down. He slides right in there and he'll be safe inside. All right, so now it does have some sound effects it makes. All right, so there's the majority of the audio stuff. I literally just took this out of the package. I haven't had a chance to play around with it yet, so bear with me guys. I have watched a few other videos such as Pixel Dance review on this. So the legs, ratchet joint, got that ratchet joint. Let me zoom out here a little bit. Nice tight ratchet joints. That's as far forward as it will go, but it does go backward pretty far. Then we got the knees. We got the knees here. Another tight ratchet joint. Then a third ratchet joint here. Very tight. You can hear it click. Ankle. Another tight ratchet joint. The front. That ratchet joint isn't too tight, but it's not super loose either. Very nice. Another ratchet joint there. And I believe there's another one. No, there is not one at this paw. The mouth does open and close. Open it pretty pretty far there. And as you can see, the face of Voltron is hidden inside. The ears do open up when you form Voltron. The wings do go back and forth up and down. You get a nice little flapping feature there. Nice little ratchet joint. And then go all the way forward to the side. Nice little ratchet on the wings. The tail. It just goes back and forth. The front does light up. Not too bad a paint job, really. I think that's where the speaker is right there. This does open up. The paws just go in just like that. And you rotate it around just like that whenever you're ready to form Voltron, which we're not going to do today because I don't have the other lions. But we can at least kind of pose them like he's getting ready to form Voltron, I guess, for purposes of paint. Now on this, I don't like that they left the forehead gray. The whole thing should be blue. I can't remember if that's how it was in the Netflix show or not, but I do know the original series. It was blue. Then on the nose here, they didn't do that great of a job with the paint. Got some, sorry, I'm trying to get used to doing the toy reviews. Got some very sloppy paint work here on the nose. There we go. There, you can see that a lot better. Very sloppy paint work on the nose here. Some bleeding off on the forehead here. Let's see how the ears, if I can get the ears to open up. There we go. Well, the ears need to be played with a little bit, but not bad. They seem to have been painted before they were put in, so that's good. You got plain white neck. One thing I didn't like about this Voltron in the series, anyway, is this complete redesign of the chest piece. The original Voltron, he had the cross and the multicolors here, and then the Blazing Sword was just, it wasn't Voltron's usual Blazing Sword, which for an update I guess is okay, but at the same time I would have liked to see them use the original Blazing Sword. We need to increase firepower. Let's go ahead and turn that back off. Pretty nice work on the belt looking part here. Looks very mechanical. Not too bad of a job on the red, blue, and black. Not too sloppy. The main sloppiness for the paint was on the nose and the forehead here. Everything else looks pretty good. The claws are made up of a little bit softer plastic. It's not like a rubbery plastic, but it is a little bit softer than the main design of the lion. Here, let's take a look at the back. I really wish they would have made it to where the legs went forward a little bit more, because on actual lions and cats, most animals that walk on four legs, you know, the leg, this part of the leg is actually forward a little bit more and the knees are a little bit more bent. So that's one of my few gripes about this, really. Other than that, pretty solid toy. You know what, let's go ahead and take a look at the paint on Shiro. Not much to Shiro, really. Just got the blue windshield and the rest of it's black. Got a little bit of paint bleeding on the inside with the blue, but overall not too bad. I would guarantee that this piece would be a very easy piece to lose, so I'm going to recommend just keeping it up inside there. As you can see, there's the speaker. Let's go ahead and put this back in lion form. And there we go. Voltron Legendary Defender Legendary Black Lion. I believe it said 16 inch. Yeah, like I said before, I haven't had a Voltron lion in a very long time. I believe I did have the black lion originally. He had a little bit boxier look, but I haven't had one since the late 80s. So this is a real trip right down memory lane. Very cool figure. I can't wait to get the other four lions and form Voltron. I'm very excited that they came out with these toys and that they released them to stores like Walmart and Target. I was very surprised to actually be able to find one while I was at Target today or at Walmart today. Like I said, it is about a $30 price, which isn't too bad for one of this size. I've seen other toys about this size with less articulation that have gone for a lot more. So this isn't too bad. So yeah, until next time guys.
