Magic Box: Playmates Voltron Legendary Defender Legendary Lions and Voltron
Let me start out by saying, I’ve been waiting for this set of toys since episode 1 of season 1 of Voltron Legendary Defender on Netflix June 11 2016.  Now, when I say it out loud, it doesn’t really sound like that long, but…the eternity between wanting a toy and having a toy is always that and it has been since I was a kid.  I’m pretty messed up I guess…and I think I may have messed up my kids too, the litlgeeks.  Still though, the day is upon us, Playmates as of 1/1/17, released an onslaught of Voltron Legendary Defender toys spanning multiple play patterns.  We have the Role Play line featuring Voltron Mask / Sword, Red Lion Mask / Weapon, and a lights and sounds Voltron Sword.  We have the basic action figure line featuring the Lions, a pair of Voltrons and some Ro-Beast action, but in this line, the Lions do not form Voltron, they are action figures only.  We also have the electronic lights and sounds 1 piece Voltron large format figure, he doesn’t break down into Lions, but he’s still pretty cool.  Then…then you have why we are here today.  The Legendary Lion line!  5 Lions, all about 10 inches or more (not including tail), they all come together to form Voltron.  There are lights, there are sounds, it is epic, it is amazing, the litlgeeks LOVE it!  BUT!  Let’s check out the litlgeeks thoughts on the video, and you can read my thoughts per Lion and Voltron himself below the video!
