Voltron

[Electric Grave]

The only one I've seen pop up is the wacky looking custom ones made in Italy that the guy wants $1500.00 for. Do you have a link to this new one?

Seems small though

This one is out there, I've seen it around but it's not what I had.

Yeah that video is of the one from Italy. I haven't heard good things about it. Those darkside ones are awesome though. The Garada K7 from that line is amazing.

That's Jeeg. He predates Transformers and He-Man by about one decade.

They did a remake of it several years back.

edit: whoops, beaten to it by DecepticonZero and stefan. Oh, well.

Si! Ese es EL VENGADOR QUE SE TRANSFORMA EN UN ROBOT...Tiene poderes sin igual!

Yeah it's vinyl though...not the shampoo bottle material.the other ones are made off. It does look cool though.

 

[Electric Grave]

Yeah, I knew right away it wasn't the same thing. I've never seen the one I got except for the one I got when I was a kid, I didn't play with it much as it was not Mazinger, lol, you know, I was a kid, it was all about Mazinger and Gladiador...Have you ever seen the Dragon ship for Gladiador, you know the one that uses the torso as the head? It's Massive, didn't have that but a friend did, it was insane. I should look for that online and see if it's still a thing, never seen it anywhere else either...

Yes Jumbo Daiku Maryu. My cousin had one that vanished when he passed away. Here is a picture:



I know he paid around 7 or 8k for it back in the mid 2000s, I can only imagine what it's worth now.

...the memories...

I remember mixing up with Metroplex, Greyskull, Mumra's Sarcofagus and the Gladiator ship, we would set up bases and go to town...we eventually stopped playing with the Jumbos in favor of He-Man, later on Thundercats but we abandoned ship when TR and G.I. Joe where hot, it was all about them and using the stuff for the other toys to make setups for G.I. Joe, they were so small that the bases and vehicles worked perfect for them. I used to lock their hands together and send them down a zipline from the balcony to the backyard, it was the mission, it was the life...GO JOE!

Edit: Well before TR, there was this ships that would transform into robots, it was a very simple transformation, the robot was basically the bottom of the ship and you uncovered his head, had a sword and the works, never saw a cartoon for it but the toy was awesome, never knew what it was called or nothing but this was before I ever watched Voltron...

Edit #2: Does anyone remember the Watch Robots? You know the LCD display the time on the chest and they sorta transformed like soundwave but this was I think before TR as well, they transformed into this little robots and you'd take it of the Watch wrist, they were awesome, I had a red one and a blue one...I used to pretend that was my transforming bracelet like El Vengador had the pendant...good times...lol.

I haven't heard of most of these. Very cool stuff! I've listened to the Silverhawks intro many times today. I'll look around for the shows... If they put that much effort in the intro, it must be a good show!

I used to do the zipline thing with GI Joes as well as putting shopping bag handles under there arms and tossing them into the air so they could parachute.

I had a few of those robot watches too...those were the shit.

That's a great memory! I know what I'm going to do tomorrow!

 

[Electric Grave]

Oh man, I remember the toy soldiers with the parachutes, those were a dime a dozen, remember those, I must have gone through dozens of them as a child...why didn't I ever think of taking the parachutes off and putting them on the G.I. Joes...god damn the possibilities...you can always learn something new, lol.

 

[BLEAGH]

I remember having gi Joes that had backpacks you folded the parachutes into, fun times.

Silver hawks were amazing. I loved them and Thundercats where the bad guys talked like Rufus from sfiv.

Monstar was the best villain with that sweet cyborg squid mount.
