I'm not sure how this vintage US Jumbo eluded me when I was a kid, but I'm glad I have it now. It's a great toy and an affordable alternative to the expensive Popy version. It's always on Ebay and should be in every Voltron and Jumbo fans collection!

Considered by many to be the epitome of vintage Japanese robot toy design, Bandai America's "Godaikin" release of the venerable SG-01 Chokinzoku T-28 stands as an undeniable work of art.

It seems there is no place I won’t go in my quest to get as many toys of Voltron 1 as I possibly can. Each time I make a purchase I am amazed at the depths to which I have sunk.

You may know him as Vehicle Voltron, or by his original Japanese name, Dairugger XV!

This is a great piece to get for collectors who are just starting out.

There have been many versions of the Legioss produced over the years. This version is desirable because it transforms into all three modes, and contains some diecast metal.

The Takatoku 1:60 Ishkick Commander was actually designed to be painted and detailed (The box even says diecast / plastic model). The images on the back often look nothing like the toy pictured inside.

The Godaikin Abega consists of 3 robots that transform into jets as well as combine into one larger ship. The original toy was called the New Super Abega Jetrobo DX Popynica, manufactured by Bandai Japan in 1983.

In Japan, Voltron II is known as Kosoku Denjin Albegas. It is often translated as Arbegas, Abegas, Albegus and Arbegus.
