I just got off the phone with World Events, who tells me that DVDs for Voltron are in-the-works for 2004, to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the show!

As part of the 20-year anniversary, Voltron: Defender of the Universe will be seen on DVD, in a new line of toys from Toynami, and in comic books that are already on the market from Devil's Due Comics. Also possible is a brand-new Voltron television series, but that is still in-the-works and under wraps.

This is all I can tell you for now, but as a fan of the show since it first aired, I cannot tell you how excited I am about this! Stay tuned right here, because I'm going to be all over this one.

F'ing cool.

This is going to make my wife very happy. She's a big Voltron fan.

Which Voltron? The Lion? The Vehicle? The 3 robots?

whoa i luved the origil voltron so i hope it is kewl i want the dVd tape and the toyz!

I want vehicle Voltron! I never really cared for the Lions.

really cuz i liked the lions well hopfuly dey will relise all of it cuz it iz a;; good but da liones (no not da datroite lionz] r styll da best!

I think we can expect the American version of the lion show.

Sweet news - this will bring back many childhood memories.

What, no love for the GoBots?

You know Kal, I liked the GoBots, but I can't remember definitively whether there was a cartoon for it or not. Any proof out there?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Never has there been a crappier knockoff of a successful toy and series.

Actually, I still have several Gobots. They were better made than the Transformers. Too much plastic.

i just hope that it's not the newer 3D Voltron

It's a shame that it takes them 20 years to finally release something like this, as if they had to wait for a special event.

Oh and how about some thundercats love guys Snarf cracked me up

David Lambert posted over at the HTF that it would probably be all three versions of Voltron.

GobBots still suck to high Heaven.

They sure do. I'm surprised that anyone liked them more.

This is really treading into off-topicville, but I was in a Toys R Us a few weeks ago and saw some really crappy-looking transforming toy and it had both the Transformers logo and the Gobots logo on it. I have no idea what caused that to happen.

FORM BLAZING SWORD!

GoBots are the ghetto version of Transformers.

LOL didn't Burger king give away gobots all the time with kids meals? I don't recall them ever giving away transformers with kids meals

Voltron is just a b-grade knockoff of Gatchaman, but as I watched the show religiously as a kid, I'll be first in line to get it.

Why didn't the Prince just send eight or nine ro-beasts after Voltron at once instead of just one at a time? I always wondered this.

No, that honor was reserved for Pizza Hut.

They had to give them away because they certainly couldn't sell them.
