Toynami has done a great job with Voltron himself, now where the hell are our 25th Anniversary GI Joe-like characters?! No one (especially Lotor) has ever been done justice, so it is time for them (hell, have Hasbro do them if not Toynami) to give us the pilots, villians, and other characters.

I'll resurrect this thread from the dead to express utter agreement.

I've wanted a GOOD line of 3.75" action figures ever since childhood. The Panosh Place ones did NOT make the grade.

It could be done. Keith, Lance and Sven could share bodies with new heads. They'd need a bigger and smaller body for Hunk and Pidge, respectively, and a female one for Allura.

The three villains would need all new parts and Zarkon would almost be a deluxe if they got the scale correct, as he's twice as tall as the other characters.

If they did Vehicle Team Voltron characters, they pretty much would only need one thin male body (for pretty much everybody), a thin female body, and a short body (for Chip) and a fat body (for Rocky) and then different heads.

Drules would be easier, too. A basic body since they all wear more or less the same outfit with different shoulder attachments and/or capes signifying rank. But you could get Hazar, Throk, Kezor, Mongo, Zabbar, the trooper commanders, and the troopers out of one body with different heads and attachments. I think Nerok's the only one that would need a different, chubbier body.

Yes please! I can't believe there's not more of a demand for this. Even if we just got the 5 main pilots I'd be happy.

Action figures are very expensive to create. As much as we like Voltron, it is a somewhat obscure brand at this point. Action figures would have to be premium-priced, niche products in order to justify the cost of making them, and demand for action figures of the people is probably much lower than demand for, say, the Voltron gestalt.
