While I have no faith it will be good, I can't help but go EEE! over it.

Raise your hand if you're surprised there's going to be a Voltron movie. No one? Good. While it'll probably be as bad as GI Joe and the Transformers, the first artwork being released is kinda cool!

I still have a metal Voltron cat in a box around my apartment somewhere, a blue one. I was a kid at the time, and I couldn't afford to buy more than one. Darned shame, because the whole set of metal ones was DARNED COOL and something like 75% off because it was in a plastic bag instead of a box, but my parents wouldn't loan me the money to get it. A sucky plastic version is $150 on eBay. One metal one is $25.

Rrrr, I'm kinda tempted to buy it now, but as the one I have hasn't been outside of a box in the ten years I've been in this apartment, I suppose it'd just end up as clutter. I don't regret not buying things often (I'm really not an "owning things" kind of person), but even after all these years I'm sorry I couldn't have gotten the whole set of lions.

But will Prince Lotor be blue?

I always thought he was cuter than the good guys.

He was! And I bet they'll have some totally new bad guy. :/

I had a friend when I was like 8 who had the full set of the metal Voltrons, those things were fun! Admittedly I should have been into Power Rangers at that time (this would have been like 1997). I also remember I had the VHS of the first like 5 or so episodes of the first season. Random searching for those episodes resulted in the location of this!

The company that owns the rights to Voltron has uploaded all 4 seasons of the oringal to youtube! Of course, there are ads (2, 30 second ads, one at start, one half way through) but it's still awesome. Now I might actually finish the series!

I forgot how awesome some of the voices in this thing were! I have suck good memories of shows like this from my childhood...too bad most of those shows were created and ran their life before I was born!

I was born like 10 years too late ; ;

I'm calling for at least one "And I'll form the head! *snickers*" joke in this movie.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

You'd win that bet!

I should probably sell my full Voltron, dang. It's just sitting in my room with badge lanyards draped over its neck.

I'd probably wait until the movie comes out, I bet the prices would go up by a lot then as people remember about the series.

If there is no Prince Lotor I shall boycott the movie entirely. He was my favorite part of the series.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

He'll probably be played by Justin Bieber or some other teeny-bopper kid!
