Lobizon Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Voltron Force Voice Cast Revealed! http://forums.voltron.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/329103823/m/3423975957/p/1 Quote
myk Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 See, I hate how every other version of Go Lion has tried to futurize/stylize the lions. They looked perfect during the first series, an ideal blend of robotic/mechanical while retaining the presence of some sort of lion. Then again, over-styling would probably be more eagerly accepted by today's Saturday morning cereal eaters so whatever... Quote
eugimon Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I love the new lions... they look like lions, for once. Quote
chrisk Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I guess this is what everybody was waiting for... Quote
EXO Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I like but I'm waiting for Voltron and the character designs. Quote
chrisk Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Cartoon might be decent. Just imagine this whole thing as a Hollywood movie though. Shia Lebuff-types wearing black skintight suits and riding giant stop motion robot lions. Gonna be awesome!! Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I love the new lions... they look like lions, for once. My a$$ they look like lions. More like Chester Cheetah. Quote
blackconvoy_D01 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Speaking of... http://www.toyark.com/news/voltron-toy-news-35/mattel-voltron-classics-3882/ Mattel is coming out with a classic represenation of the toy. It's suppose to stand 2'-3' tall. Online only. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 seriously, no sees the chester cheetah resemblance? Quote
Sir Galahad® Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Looks at a Cheetos Package... Yeah, they do (hehe) Quote
EXO Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Hmmm... might need to get rid of my Toynami Voltron soon. Quote
eugimon Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 My a$$ they look like lions. More like Chester Cheetah. Still looks more lionish than the boxes with tails that they usually look like Quote
EXO Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Looks like the animated version won't be as detailed as the designs. You'd think that with CG animation you can keep all those details in. And from the storyboards it seems like the character's will have a slight Bruce Timm design look. Of course this is all spec. I'll hold judgment til we see final product. Quote
Keith Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Me thinks Thundercats will win out on this revival craze. Quote
Bri Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Wonder which companies will produce the actual animation for the new show. Afaik in the past World Events Production bought the animation from (and later commisioned) Toei. Quote
Chewie Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I think you guys are way too purist sometimes. These look great. =P Quote

Renato Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Wow. Between this, Thundercats and Transformers, etc., they're remaking everything these days (except Robotech, lol). I wonder how long until remakes of Rude-Dog & the Dweebs and Denver the Last Dinosaur come along. Quote

Bring back MASK and the Centurions 1st! Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Bring back MASK and the Centurions 1st! dude, I loved centurions when I was like 8. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I have little desire for a BIGGER Voltron figure, I want a BETTER one. Really, no one's made that much of an improvement from the original 80's ones. I'm trying to think if Mattel has any experience with combining/transforming toys at all. I keep imagining they're just going to make a 2x upscaled Trendmasters due to inability to really do something new/improved. Quote

I keep imagining they're just going to make a 2x upscaled Trendmasters due to inability to really do something new/improved. Don't know if they've made transforming ones recently, last ones I saw were mech suits from their Imaginext line and some from Batman Brave and the Bold. I had doubts on their WWE line(s) but they ended up impressing me with those, so hopefully the same thing happens with Voltron. Quote
Hikuro Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Tsk, well, you can tell this is aimed for the younger audience, we're just to out dated. still, I'll watch it as long as it doesn't feel as hokey as what the old school series pulled off 20+ years later. I bought a volume for nostalgia and when I started watching it I face palmed myself so much I left marks. Either case, if I ever found the Voltron toys from Toynami, I'd probably buy 'em...hopefully not face palm that too. Quote
Jasonc Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I dunno about the lions on this. Some pics they look fine, then others make them look so soft. I think if they did a Chester Cheetah Voltron figure, I'd go for that. At least he has that Sean Connery voice, and sun glasses. I'd pilot that mech while eating a big bag of cheetohs. There's a perfect product tie-in. Quote

Black Valkyrie Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 dude, I loved centurions when I was like 8. Also reboot Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats, Inspector Gadget, Pole Position, Rainbow Bright, The Get Along Gang, Go Bots, The Littles, Popples, Wuzzles and what else ... Quote
Dangaioh Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Here's someone's reinterpretation (Frank Miller-ish/Disutopia) of Inspector Gadget. To get back on topic, the new combine look of Voltron is not that bad. Quote

Lobizon Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 'Voltron Force' premieres in June with new theme song by Swizz Beatz. http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2011/04/voltron-force-premieres-in-june-with-new-theme-song-by-swizz-beatz.html http://nicktoons.nick.com/videos/clip/voltron-force-lets-voltron-coming-in-june.html Quote
EXO Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 that was disappointing. It almost gave me chills when they added the theme at the end of the Thundercats trailer, this was the exact opposite. Quote
