‘80s Defender of the Universe Reboots with an Iconic Collectible

June 13, 2016—Thousand Oaks, CA—Sideshow®, a world-­‐renowned manufacturer of licensed and proprietary collectibles, is proud to announce the debut of its Voltron Maquette, based on the legendary character design from the ‘80s cartoon.
Standing at an impressive 27” tall, the Voltron Maquette is a unique interpretation of the iconic Defender of the Universe.
The magnificent rendering of Voltron’s powerful sword brings back all the excitement of knowing the giant robot is ready to take care of business.

Pre-­‐orders are available at sideshow.com/Voltron16.

The figure is scheduled to ship between May and July 2017.
Constructed from polyresin, metal, and premium grade PVC, Voltron is made up of 106 individual pieces.
However, lucky owners will only have to assemble 11 pieces to summon forth Voltron.
The wingspan gives Voltron a diameter of 14.5”, making it the perfect centerpiece to your collection.
The eyes in the main head, both the lions and the robot’s, light up and the piece can be displayed with or without the incredibly detailed sword.

Voltron: Defender of the Universe debuted in 1984 and quickly became a widely popular children’s television show, comic book series, and multimedia phenomenon.  The series was among the first to introduce American audiences to Japanese anime and paved the way for many subsequent anime-­‐inspired shows like Power Rangers and Pokémon.
Earlier this month, Netflix launched a reboot of the popular animation series called Voltron: Legendary Defender.
True Voltron fans, both seasoned and new, will want to celebrate and commemorate the launch of this new series by reserving this one-­‐of-­‐a-­‐kind collectible.
