1980's Voltron toy

[Vincent Vega82]

Does anyone have/remember the metal Voltron toy from the 80's? You had each individual lion and they interlocked in various ways i.e the tails of the lions that formed the arms had tails that locked into the body and the ones for the feet had heads that folded up to look like feet while the legs of the black lion went down into the two lions that formed the feet. The heads of the lions on the feet and arms were spring loaded so, you could shoot them off. I lost my copy of it in the mid-late 80's when I moved. Just curious to see if anyone had one like that.

I still have mine, all 5 lions, the only problems is the red and green lions head could shoot off and I lost the green head when I was 5 maybe 6 years old. These were the good toys, metal with lead paint, freakin' awesome.

USED in ok condition. Imagine a mint one...

I've got a complete and fully functioning set at my mom's (just saw it a few weeks ago) from when I was a kid. It's an original that I've had all this time since the time the cartoons aired in non-reruns.

I do not think mine is metal, though; or at least not completely metal. You're making me want to drive over and check now! I probably wouldn't sell it for $500 even if mine was worth it.

I used to have one, but I ended up breaking off the tails of the red and green lions inside the black lion. For some reason they got to where they wouldn't separate like they were supposed to. Kinda wish I still had it. It would be an awesome collectible now.

There's this one available for about $200, but I don't think it's the original.

"Release date: December 2005" = definitely not an original, like you said.

Despite that, it would still be cool to get one...sort of like retro Jordans if anyone is into those. I love all my Jordans even though they're not originals.

I had one when I was a kid. I also had the version that was cars/spaceships making a robot.

[Dynamo of Eternia]

I still have mine. But it's in beat up/played with condition with a few minor bits and pieces broken off and what-not. I wouldn't mind getting one in better condition if I could find it for a decent price. I believe Matchbox made the metal version.

That looks like the retarded step brother of Voltron!

They could have cut the entire series down to the last 2 minutes of each show. Let's form Voltron, interthermors connected ..blah, blah, blah, and I'll form the head." What about Thunder Cats. Lion-O

I thought this topic would be considered off-topic since it has nothing to do with blu-ray,electronics, movies..... Where else would you think it should fall under? I would assume general chat to be for non specific Blu-ray topics.

[SDBlu]

I remember this toy! I used to love playing with it! It was my prized possession. Wish I still had it. As others have mentioned...I also used to have He-Man action figures, GI-Joes, Go-Bots, and remember the ThunderCats!

Yeah, if you post it under General Chat, only the same 5 or 6 people would see it anyway...
