Where the Legendary Green Lion wears the shield all of the time, the 84 Green Lion cannot carry that shield. Red Lion came with a sword, Green Lion comes with a shield. The front legs come in really handy when posing Voltron (either version). I don’t think there is a lot they could have done with the legs to change the overall look. In an effort to help equal out with the bulky Yellow Lion, Blue Lion’s red area is a shield for it’s head.Īnd when they are transformed, they look very similar. They did leave a bit of the red on the Legendary Lion, though they moved it up. They put the yellow on Legendary Green’s butt. All are silver with a blue tip for one of their weapons.Īs a juxtaposition, in the design of the Legendary Lion, they omitted all of the yellow, save for the eyes. For the Legendary line, they stayed consistent with the tails. There is a line of yellow that runs down the back of the lion and all the way to the tip of the tail.

And the shield again to help protect the head and the Paladin when Voltron needs to kick something.īlue comes in with a mouth full of blade, a beam emitter on one joint, and a missile launcher on the other. Legendary’s tail slides in the body, while 84’s tail folds down the back. Their hind legs fold up, with Legendary Lion’s legs folding behind engines. Both use their forelegs to help support Voltron in the back. Transformation of the two are very similar. The Legendary Lion has a touch of red, but not too much. When you look at the Yellow lion, it had a lot of red mixed in. The Legendary Lions have the addition of black to help break up the solid color. Of course there is a main color on all of the lions. The colors on the lions are so important. The extra weapon was turned into an extra shield for the Legendary Lion. Side by side, the Legendary Yellow Lion is a lot more robust than the 84 Yellow Lion. It has fins on it’s back like a fighter jet, and it is the only lion to have a weapon directly on it’s body. It is more robust than the others, and tends to use it’s mass as a weapon. I am sure that has something to do with it, but I love the overall bulk of the lion. When I was growing up, I only had one Lion. The Yellow Lion is my favorite of the 5 in Legendary Defender. Simplicity of visual design versus simplicity of transformation. The first thing you will notice right away is how well the legs are hidden in the modern arms as opposed to the 84 lions that have them folded up on the outside of the body. The others have different designs around the sides of the heads to simulate ears with a robot twist.Īnd of course, they form body parts. The 84 lions all have such wide faces and giant ears. One of the most striking differences is in the face of the modern lion compared to the 84 lion. I really enjoyed looking at the two side by side and seeing how changes were made to make them sleeker and rounder, but keep the overall feel. They actually have similar points of articulation, but the modern lion has a lot more range than the 84 version. The 84 version is a lot more boxy, and has a stiffer overall appearance. The modern one looks more sleek as a chopping energy sword. The original sword was so flashy and ornate with so many extra shapes thrown on. Since they come with Voltron’s sword, it is an interesting look at the past and modern times. It is fun to look at the two side by side. As you will see, the four smaller lions come with a jaw blade, a secondary weapon, and then a bigger spring-loaded firing weapon. He also comes with a jaw blade, a laser cannon, and a missile launcher. It is fun to look back at the old episodes and see the hand drawn work of 1981 (remember it was released in Japan years before it came to the US). Netflix brought back 12 episodes of the original show with the current cast talking about an episode that are memorable and important to them and the creation of the new show. This time around the line is called Voltron ’84. NetFlix and Playmates surprised us with a second round of lions.
