As a kid I loved Voltron. I watched the show and had a set of die-cast lions that could be combined to form a giant robot. Unfortunately I barely remember the cartoon. I was so young when it was on. I honestly don't remember Sven at all. When Mattel announced their new Voltron Subscription last year for a gigantic Voltron and all the pilots I had to get it. I planned to open all the toys, but when they announced later that the subscription exclusive figure was coming carded instead of boxed I decided to keep him sealed.
Sven, like the pilots comes with both a helmeted and un-helmeted head. He also comes with a key to the Blue Lion that serves as a figure stand. His packaging is done in the style of the vintage figure line.
How cool! My buddy Chad would like this.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember him either. But the show is on my DVD want list.
ReplyDeleteI bought the first four volumes of Voltron when they first came out on VHS in the early 2000s (I think). Without fail, the episodes would put me to sleep when I watched them.
ReplyDeleteThey were so much cooler when I was a kid XD
hmm... uh-oh. I just ordered all 5 volumes on DVD. There are a lot of "great" 80's & 90's cartoons that are fun to watch an episode or two of, but put me to sleep as an adult.
