Posted by Zonk on from the who-will-form-the-head? dept.

wo1verin3 writes "Voltron is coming to theatres!. While details are sparse, we do know it will be produced by Mark Gordon ('The Day After Tomorrow'). I'm still waiting for the DVD sets." From the article: "The 'Voltron' animated TV series debuted in 1984, about the same time as Hasbro's Transformers toy line, igniting a morphing robot phenomenon. According to sources, Voltron has generated $750 million in worldwide licensing and nearly $200 million in toys and merchandising since 1984."

    I bought a five-lions Voltron off the shelf at Toys-R-Us less than five years ago.
