Voltron Defender of the Universe Deluxe Figure by Super7 – Toyark Photo Shoot

Posted on August 6, 2020 at 8:18 pm by Joe Moore under Random Photo Shoot, Voltron Toy News

Super7 Ultimates Voltron 024

The Super7 Voltron: Defender of the Universe – Deluxe 7″ Scale Voltron Figure has been released, and is in the hands of most who ordered the figure. Unlike most Voltron collectibles, this is a pure action figure and does not transform. The figure is modeled after his original cartoon aesthetic, with smoother detailing and bright, solid colors. The figure stands about 7″ tall, and includes interchangeable hands, a sword, and shield.

We picked this figure up for Toyark sponsor Entertainment Earth. Read on for my thoughts and a photo gallery of the new collectible.

Voltron: Defender of the Universe – Deluxe 7″ Scale Voltron Figure by Super7

Pros

  • Nice cartoon style sculpt
  • Looks good in hand
  • Easy to swap out hands
  • Bright colorful paint apps

Cons

  • Articulation is limited

Overall
The Voltron figure comes packed in a brown mailer box, much like we’ve seen with their Masters of the Universe figures. Inside the mailer, there’s a window box with a slipcover. The slipcover shows the emblem from Voltron’s chest on the front, and a foil logo on the back. Voltron sits in a plastic tray, and once removed, he can easily be placed back in for storage or display. The figure includes swap out red and green lion head hands, a sword, and a shield.

Out of the box, the new Voltron looks pretty sharp in hand. It has a great cartoon look to it, with much smoother sculpting compared to most Voltron releases. The figure has a hefty weight to it as well, feeling like a really solid vinyl. I could definitely see fans putting this on an 80’s shelf alongside a modern G1 style Optimus Prime, He-Man, and Lion-O. Collectors looking for a definitive Voltron “action figure” probably aren’t going to enjoy this as much. While it has the right look, the articulation leaves a lot to be desired. Single jointed knees and elbows, no moveable jaws on the lion heads, and hips that only allow for forward and backward motion will hinder a lot of dynamic posing. It’s not terrible, but I had hoped for a better range of motion since it was forgoing the transformation gimmick. The joints themselves are all sturdy, with no paint locking or noticeably loose areas.

The Ultimates Voltron is a fun release. It’s not the best Voltron figure you’ll find out there, but it’s one of the best cartoon representations I’ve seen. It will look fantastic on your shelf, with a solid sculpt, and bright paint work. The limited articulation is a bit disappointing for those used to super articulated robots. Check out a selection of images below, and the full gallery after that.

    Nice pics. Love the colors. Wondering how this guy compares to Mattel's Blazing Sword Voltron.

    Nice set. Looks well done, good piece for those that just want a little Voltron rep on the shelves without going too big/expensive.

    Really similar. Hips on the Blazing Sword version were better. But I like the proportions and colors more on the Super7 version. I don’t have the Blazing Sword in-hand, but it’s a bit taller than the Super7 one.

    Cool. Thanks for the response. I have the blazing sword and like it for what it is. As Tony said, a little Voltron rep for the shelf. But something about this one just looks good to me. It’s a little rounder, if that makes sense.

    If the hips can only move forward and back, that's just crappy. I mean, there has to have been a way to introduce some increased articulation there. I don't think that's too much to ask if it's not transforming like you said.

    Not a fan of the gray paint. I prefer Mattel's version as that looked anime accurate. This just looks, I don't know, but it seems to be lacking articulation despite being repaint.

    Still waiting on BBTS to get my pre-order in stock. The original date was February of this year.

    So am I. I’ve never had an issue with bbts. Ever. But I’m a bit worried on my super7 items. I have seen no movement on voltron, toxic crusader, ren and stimpy and I’m nervous about the Conan, turtles and thundercats I have through them. Does it usually take this long?

    I had a large order from BBTS go missing this year. I chased for months and they finally refunded me about 4 months after it was sent.

    I have never had an issue with BBTS, but Super7 will be the one at fault if BBTS does not get their stock in (the item will go in my POL once it arrives). I know Super7 releases are always later than anticipated but going on over 6 months is pushing it. I wouldn't be so irritated if it wasn't for the fact other stores are getting their stock in. It looks like the Voltron store even has the item in stock already:

    It could be months after release when BBTS finally get their stock in. I know the last couple of waves for the Filmation MOTUC was like that. Specifically the wave that had Filmation mer-man and man e faces, which had a fall-ish release but bbts didn't get them in stock until a couple of months into the following year.

    I opened this figure, moved him around, packed him back up and put him back in the box.
    I've never done that before.

    I don't know about this one, I just don't.
