ThinkGeek :: 25th Anniversary Voltron

Robeasts Beware

Everyone knows that this is the real Voltron, but we don't envy Commander Keith. After all, being the CEO of Defender of the Universe, Inc. is a demanding job. You have to keep the Blazing Sword sharpened at all times. You have to manage the environmental impact of destroying toxic Robeasts on your own planet. You have to wonder when Sven is going to show up and steal the Blue Lion or say something mystical or philosophical that you can't even begin to understand. Why didn't Sven just die like he did in the Japanese version?!? Really, it's not like Command Keith doesn't have enough trouble with Lance always cracking wise and Hunk eating all the Fruit Loops. He can barely get Pidge to focus long enough to get in the Green Lion let alone fly the thing in a straight line...

Alright... Fine! Sven is ten times the pilot that Princess Allura will ever be, but it doesn't really matter. Allura pilots the Blue Lion and she wears a pink jumpsuit, because she's the ruler of the Kingdom of Altair and she pays the bills. Are you happy now?

In any case, we're sure that Prince Lotor would like to get his hands on this gorgeous 25th Anniversary Voltron set. Sadly for the son of Zarkon, Princess Allura is not included. However, all five transformable lions are in the set and when you assemble them to form Voltron he'll stand an 12" tall with Blazing Sword and Shield in hand/paw/mouth. Actually, this brings up a good question: Why doesn't Voltron have a thumb? How can you be Defender of the Universe without a thumb?

Put this 1:197 scale replica on your desk and take bets on who says "FORM FEET AND LEGS" vs. "I'll FORM THE HEAD". Use the questions above to continue the conversation until you get to the inevitable debate of Lion Force vs. Vehicle Team.
