Hong Kong toy manufacturer threezero's "ROBO-DOU" (ロボ道) series, which features highly detailed and complex designs based on Japanese anime alloy mecha, once again launches a new product based on "Voltron: Defender of the Universe"—the "Voltron (Retro Toy Edition)" non-scale articulated figure, scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2025!
"Voltron: Defender of the Universe" is a television anime series created in 1984 by World Events Productions (WEP) from the United States, which adapted and combined two mecha anime produced by Toei Japan: "Beast King GoLion" (百獣王ゴライオン) and "Armored Fleet Dairugger XV" (機甲艦隊ダイラガーXV). The entire series consists of 124 episodes, telling the story of five Earth youths who form an alliance with five mechanical lions to create the Space Defense Force, combining to become the mighty robot giant "Voltron" and protecting peace in the universe.
This Voltron Retro Toy Edition non-scale articulated figure is also a modification of the previously released original "Beast King GoLion / Voltron," with parts of the body that were previously painted with metallic paint now re-colored with electroplated silver, paying homage to the first Voltron toy released in 1981! The combined Voltron stands approximately 27 cm tall. It retains the classic playability, allowing the five lion mecha to combine into the Voltron form. The entire figure is die-cast using ROBO-DOU's engineering techniques, boasting a wider range of articulation and superior assembly functions! The electroplated silver texture extends across all five lions and their respective weapons, further highlighting the mecha's retro aesthetic. Even the Blazing Sword (Jūōken) has been re-colored entirely in electroplated silver. The vibrant colors of the body reflecting on the mirror-like Blazing Sword look incredibly cool!
