In theory, Super7‘s Ultimates Lightning Glow Voltron figure “is inspired by the moment that Voltron forms the Blazing Sword and is illuminated by a burst of lightning.” In fact, we already know that Super7 just really, really likes making glow-in-the-dark variants, and fans enjoy both the retro gimmick and the new levels of brightness the company brings to such toys. For the most part, though, there has to be a story pretext, like retromutagen ooze, or transformation energy. We probably won’t see a glow-in-the-dark Arnold Schwarzenegger Conan, for example.
It’s a Lion! It’s Huge!
This particular Voltron, of course, is the Lion Force version, since the Vehicle Force Voltron tends to be too unfeasibly large at almost any scale to come in under $100. It is not a combining/transforming figure, but rather a fully poseable action figure, around 7 inches tall, which mostly scales with Super7’s Transformers Ultimates and Power Rangers Zords (and perhaps the Godzilla figures at times, too, depending on the movie). He includes alternate open-mouth lion hands, along with a mighty sword and shield, all of which glow too.
Voltron preorders close Oct 13th, and the figure costs $65. As usual for these figures, fans can order straight from Super7, or save on shipping with combined orders from outlets like our partners at Entertainment Earth.
For more images of the figure, take a look down below. Next, Super7, perhaps we could use a Robeast or two to be dazzled by this shining hero mech, and ultimately defeated, of course.
