Voltron Coming To The Big Screen
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."

What does 'Since 1984' mean? What was the cutoff date for those stats? Prior to any news of a new movie, have there been any Voltron toys in stores for years? I don't recall seeing any for a long time now.
And they said zombies weren't real!
I'm waxing nostalgic for the good 'ol days of 1984, when cartoons were Japanese, cheap, and inventive, when toys were mass-marketed towards those clicks that like them..... I was in a click in my elementary school - we were the Voltron Kids. We were enemies with the GI Joe guys, and I eventually became a traitor because I liked Thundercats and became friends with the Thundercats. In reality, I could use less nostalgia and less crap in Hollywood. Transformers, Voltron - what's next, My Little Pony Strikes Back???
My mother still has a picture of me on my first day of grade school... with my brand new Voltron backpack.
Fressssh!
Not every argument requires reduction to absurdity.
Sure, ruin Star Wars, Dukes of Hazzard, Transformers, and millions of other memories from my childhood days. Why not ruin Voltron.
While you're at it, go back in time and kick my dog, slash my bike tires, and burn down my fort.
Kiss my bass.
1. I'll form the head!
2. Form blazing sword!
3. ???
4. Profit!
I am such a karma whore but here you go just tell them you got served

... Voltron got served on the dance floor! [Hilarious WMA mini-movie].
Tiller's Rule: Never use a word in written form that you've only heard and never read. You will end up looking foolish.
I still remember wanting a Voltron so bad before Christmas that one year. And luckily I was in Sunday School at that time so my prayer skills were sharp and I put them to good use.
Needless to say, God told my parents to buy that thing.

if Voltron somehow ends up fighting Iraqi Robeasts, though...
You're in luck. In this new, updated Voltron, there is no fighting. All of the issues are worked out through peaceful diplomatic negotiations. Intelligence is perfect. Politicians seek the best for all people, the media is educated, fully informed, interested in presenting the truth, and restrains from oversentationalizing everything. Wealthy corporations pay workers to stay home and protect the environment and everyone recycles, writes Open Source Software, and whistles while they work.
lets have Battle of the Planets (Gatchaman), pr even Starblazers.
Yes.
I quit!
Darn my inner child...
