Threezero gets Retro with Voltron: Defender of the Universe Robo-Dou collectible figure

April 13, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Voltron: Defender of the Universe is coming to ThreeZero’s Robo-Dou series of collectible figures with the Voltron (Retro Toy Edition), inspired by the original Voltron toy line released by Bandai 1981; check out the promotional images here…

A new ROBO-DOU Voltron variant has arrived with an electroplating silver finish that faithfully revives the charm of retro toys! From the extremely popular 80’s series Voltron: Defender of the Universe, ROBO-DOU Voltron has taken the world by storm, and the remarkable ROBO-DOU Voltron (Retro Toy Edition) is now available, paying homage to the first released Voltron collectible in 1981!

Accurately following the path of its predecessor, ROBO-DOU Voltron (Retro Toy Edition) is a non-scale, fully-articulated figure standing approximately 27cm (~10.6”) tall in Voltron mode with a remarkable die-cast main frame. This collectible variant maintains the robot’s iconic retro aesthetic with an impressive electroplating silver finish to emphasize on the nostalgia of the classic mecha look. This Retro Toy Edition includes two exclusive sets of metallic decal sticker sheets, recalling the enjoyable experience in hand-detailing collectibles of the past; while the remaining set of stickers can be used on the previously released ROBO-DOU Voltron series items.

The classic Voltron is recreated utilizing ROBO-DOU engineering to achieve a wider range of articulation and better combining functions than its contemporaries. ROBO-DOU Voltron (Retro Toy Edition) is composed of five Lion mecha, and is able to split into Lion mode, or combine to form Voltron. All five Lion mecha are fully-articulated figures partly adopting zinc alloy and metal parts for the movable joints. Combined, the figure utilizes 124 points of articulation for the total of five machines, with a set of Voltron mode weapons in addition to a unique set of weapons for each Lion.
