I know I am very late to this party but I just picked up the die cast metal set after watching the video in mrhoss's post. So happy to have this back in my collection, I had the old school set when I was a kid and this created a wave of nostalgia and I couldn't resist picking them up. Thinking about getting the bigger set for my nephew if I can ever get lucky enough to catch it on sale.

Any chance you have a Power Ranger's Legacy Zord for size comparison?

Do you guys think they will show the new 16 inch classic Voltron at 11? Hoping for this, Pidge and Hunk MOC, and a few more surprises.

Do they have figures for Voltron? I just thought it was the Lions in different scales being made.

The same with voice technology and interactive features. It's said to be released on 12/27/2017. According to Playmates toys rep, they'll be available at retail on same day for same price point as Voltron Legendary Defender at $30 and $18 respectively. If you could find them and post, I would appreciate it as I don't have the intellect to do so,lol. I was hoping to see it on display but they must've been completely absent from NYCC even though they had a panel.

These are finally up for pre order. These are definitely my 3 most wanted from the show but I'm going to wait for retail. None of the Voltron stuff has been particularly hard to find and I don't imagine these will be much different. I've also seen the 84 style line if anyone is looking. I saw a pair of the individual Lions at one Target and the Black Lion at another. I want them but I can't repeat buy the Lions all over again after just doing it for the Netflix wave.

I've been going crazy looking for the '84 Voltron limbs. I bought the '84 Black Lion nine days ago from Target, but can't find the rest. I'm pretty sure my local Target got no lions for the reset. Also, my Walmart is overflowing with Netflix lions, so I don't think they ordered them.

Forgot to post pictures of these, but I got these a couple of weeks ago from Walmart's site-to-store. They were $10 each. I dig them but they're playmates. The helmets are soft so they almost stretch over the heads, which is a cool feature because the fit is pretty accurate. I'll be grabbing whatever other figures they put out. I'm guessing the next 3 are Hunk, Pidge and Allura. Throw in Coran and that would be enough where anything else felt like a bonus. I wonder if they'll do the Castle of Lions and include Coran that way. Would be pretty cool.

I saw them at my comic shop but they were over priced so I jumped online to see if they were shipping other places and I found them on Amazon and Walmart. The Lions seemed like they moved really well around me. It’s difficult of me not to be critical of Playmates at this point.

Yeah according to Playmates Toys rep, the other pilots and anything else has ceased until a later time. Said product wasn't moving even though I, too, couldn't find them at retail either.
