Today, we're taking a look at the Voltron 84 Classic Black Lion. So let's go ahead and move this guy out of the way. Take a look at the box real quick, then we'll get the box out of the way, move the camera forward a little bit, zoom in on the black line. So as you can see here we've got Voltron 84, 60 plus phrases and sound effects. Got the original Voltron right here. This is the Voltron I grew up with, that many of you grew up with. We've got the black lion here, classic legendary black lion, form 16 inch classic Voltron, combine all five lines. Keith is the leader of the Voltron Lion Force and pilot of the black lion. He is an expert pilot who develops the battle strategies for Voltron Force. And there's some of the phrases that he says, 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. www.playmatestoys.com, www.voltron.com, 20 points of articulation. All right, so there's the top, there's one side, there's the other side, there's the bottom as you can see, collect all five lines, form classic Voltron. When I was at Target yesterday, getting this guy, they had all of the other lions except for red lion. I could have gotten the other lions, but I decided to wait. I wanted to test something out first and I will show you that after I review the black lion. So let's go ahead and move this off to the side, bring in black lion. This is a really good depiction of black lion. I had the original, the very original black lion as a kid. It was the only Voltron lion I had, but we moved around a lot and I eventually lost him and I was heartbroken. My favorite toy and I didn't think I'd ever be able to get another one because they're so expensive on eBay and Amazon and all that. And then even with like some of the diecast ones or some of the third party Voltrons way out of my price range, but this, this guy was perfect. When I heard they were coming out with Voltron 84 figures, first time I saw one was on caveman reviews channel. If you, if you haven't heard of them, go check them out. He does a lot of Voltron, Dragon Ball Z, Thundercats and Transformers toys. Probably one of the best Transformers reviewers on YouTube right now, but do that after you watch this video. So anyway, I had to have him. As you can see his head goes up and down and that's mainly for his Voltron transformation. It can turn side to side, do that head tilt. Okay and the legs can go that far forward. They can go back with the leg extended like that. But it can go to there and that's mainly for Voltron transformation. Now we got that out of the way. All right, the legs, the thigh is as far forward as it's going to get. But there is a thigh swivel on a ratchet, which is nice, which is for the Voltron transformation. The knee, the top, the upper knee, I'm sorry, can go back to there. It can go forward that far. However, the most natural cat stance I found is to have it looking about like that. Most cats, you know, their thighs be forward like that and that's for how they run. But you can't do that with this Voltron because his belt piece here is in the way. So if you move it just like that and then have that upper knee about like that with the lower knee facing back forward just like that, you have a good looking cat stance. I've seen other YouTubers with Voltron having their cat, having their lions just like that. That doesn't, that just doesn't look right to me. I like them to look like cats. Okay, so there's that and the legs can go just like that. That's mainly for transformation. They can also pull out slightly and that's also for when he's in Voltron mode. The mouth, they are on two separate pieces. I just happened to have him made into Voltron. I just took him out of that position. That's why the Voltron face came down. But there's the inside of his mouth. As you can see there's a little missile in there. The missile is non-removable. It can open all the way. It can go down that far before Voltron's face starts coming down. Now if most of the time when we saw Black Lion in the original series it was like this. On a few occasions he was flying like this. Okay, you can do that. You can also do it like that if you wanted. Let's go ahead and put those back. Let's go over some of the sounds. All right, so this Keith, the voice of Keith, it does sound like Neil Ross from the 80s and 90s series. If it is or not, I don't know. It's very likely though that it is Neil Ross. Yeah, see that sounded like Neil Ross who did the voice for Keith back in the 80s, the original Defender of the Universe series and Voltron the Third Dimension. All right, so now that we got that out of the way, I want to show you something cool that this is why I only bought the Black Lion. Okay, one other thing his tail does move. It's on a soft ratchet. But anyway, the Black Lion, the classic 84 Black Lion is compatible with the Legendary Defender Lines. Now I posted this on my Instagram account yesterday. I think it's pretty cool. It doesn't quite look as good as the actual Legendary Defender Voltron or the 84 Voltron, but it's a nice mix between the two. So anyway, when forming Voltron, bring the legs back just like that, straighten them out. All right, bring the wings up, fold the tail in, you'll raise up the shoulder cannons, which that's exactly what that area is for in the original series is shoulder cannons. Bring the paws up, close it, just like that, close it, bring it around, bring it around. So now let's go ahead and turn this on while we do this. Form, feet, and legs. Form, arms, and body. Form the head. Ready to form? See, he doesn't look too bad. Not bad at all. It's a nice cross between the Legendary Defender Voltron and the original. So if you don't have the money to get all five 84 Voltron Classic Lines and you already have the Legendary Defender Lines, then just pick up the Black Lion and you can use the red, green, blue, and yellow Legendary Defender Lines on the Classic Black Lion. And I'm guessing since they're compatible, the red, green, blue, and yellow lines from the Classic 84 line are more than likely compatible with the Legendary Defender Black Lion. Hang tight guys, it's time to compare. All right, so here we go guys. We have the Classic 84 Black Lion with the Legendary Defender Black Lion. As you can see, they are roughly the same size. I do kind of like the build a lot better on the Legendary Defender Black Lion. If I may get the stickers from Toy Hacks to put on this line, because I like the look, I like the crest of the Classic Black Lion a lot better than the crest of this Black Lion. But everything else about this Black Lion, I kind of like better. The horns, the, his horns are a lot slimmer, as you can see. They just look weird on this one. And that's not really how he looked in the cartoon. I, I know it's, it's how he looked in the original fake, in the original toy line. But I like that better. But yeah, I like the overall design of the Legendary Defender Black Lion a lot more than the boxiness of the Classic Black Lion. But in Voltron mode, where you can see the crest and let's do this for now. So in Voltron mode, I like the look of the original Voltrons. Face a lot more than the Legendary Defender Voltron. As you can see on Legendary Defender, the blue is really only under the eyes and along the bridge of the nose. While on the original, it's on the forehead and it's black under the eyes. If they could find a way to merge the looks of both Voltrons, I think we would have the perfect Voltron. I like the stickers that Toy Hacks did. You can put stickers that look like this on this Voltron. And I think that would be overall the best looking design. Now I do like the original Blazing Sword from this Voltron a lot more than this Voltron's Blazing Sword. Which I don't, since I don't have the other lions for the Classic Voltron, I don't have that Blazing Sword. But to me, this isn't really the Blazing Sword. No. The Blazing Sword has a distinctive look. This isn't it. Of course, the wings, when you compare the two, the wings are, I don't know how well you can see that, the wings are a lot longer on the Legendary Defender Voltron compared to the 84 Voltron. Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to get the stickers for this one and add them on here so it looks more like this one without the boxiness. I will still collect all the lions for this one eventually so that I can have the original Voltron too. And I may think I'm gonna find on eBay sold separately the original Voltron Blazing Sword and use it with this Voltron. Because this, I don't know what this crap is but that's not the Blazing Sword.
