Voltron ? Playmates Combinable Legendary Defender Photo Review

Last year Dreamworks and Netflix finally nailed it with a proper modern series that was pretty damn good. Playmates is now producing mass market toys to go with the new series. Today we’re taking a look at their largest offering – the Combinable Legendary Defender Voltron. These are the 5 Lions, sold individually, which combine into Voltron. The set is big, with each lion being roughly the size » Continue Reading.

No kidding. The sooner the better. It's weird that in this day and age we can still be so in the dark about when entire lines release.

In the U.S. Playmates distributes this Voltron Line. Hopefully Spinmaster steps up and distributes them here in Canada as they did for the TMNT Movie and Nick lines or we might be s.o.l.

Gods. That didn't even occur to me, Fingers crossed then. I love the Internet, but I absolutely hate buying things online. If it doesn't show up in store, I usually end up passing on it. Sigh.

I have ZERO faith in seeing these in Canada. TMNT line already blows for stock.

They must release them here. I mean it's not just Playmates, Dreamworks probably has a say in where these get released.

Hopefully we just have to wait for a reset.

True, but it's at least on the shelves, so there's hope there.

Re: Voltron ? Playmates Combinable Legendary Defender Photo Review

I contacted Playmates to ask about Canadian distribution. The genius that got back to me told me they were working on getting the line distributed to the UK in late 2017. Not sure how happy I am to learn that Playmates thinks Canada is in the U.K., but at least that does confirm worldwide distribution, so yay?
