Form Blazing Sword With Super7’s ‘Voltron’ Figure
by Anton Kromoff
Welcome to the table,
When I was a kid, my parents had a huge problem with anything that looked like Eastern animation. At some point I think they had rented a VHS or seen one of those movies with more tentacles than teeth. After that, they decided that it did not matter what it was. It was probably trying to corrupt the youth of this country.
I would be denied seeing anything that did not look like it came from a Western studio house for fear of being turned into an ungodly heathen. You can imagine my surprise when I struck out on my own and realized that Voltron was incredibly tame. Forming a blazing sword is rad as hell and I love giant robots but there was nothing taboo, or even remotely scandalous, except maybe talking mice or a space witch named Haggar but that was about it.
Voltron was a beacon of hope in a galaxy and not something scandalous and it was fantastic. I never got a chance to have my own robot lions that would form into the universe’s mightiest defender, and trust me, I wanted them every time I saw some other kid have them or saw them on the playground. At least now I can score something amazing like this Super7 7″ scale Voltron ULTIMATES! Lighting Glow Voltron.
The mighty robot defender looks amazing in this figure offering. It has a glow-in-the-dark feature that emulates the lighting strike power up from the ‘form blazing sword’ moment in the shows.
The glow is super solid from what I can tell, as the figure is constructed from glow-in-the-dark material, featuring intricate sculpting, premium paint detail, and interchangeable lion heads for hands, as well as glow-in-the-dark shield and signature Blazing Sword accessories.
You can let this made-to-order, glow-in-the-dark Voltron ULTIMATES! Lightning Glow Voltron figure defend your collection by pre-ordering at this link.
Until next time, if you ever happen to go back in time, don’t judge anime by one random thing you rented at a hole-in-the-wall movie store and then keep your kid from a core part of the pop-culture experience because you think in some twisted random way that Saturday morning cartoons are going to have all sorts of really adult stuff in them.
