I had vehicle voltron when I was a kid, but I always wanted the metal lion one, you know the one that was big enough that the little action figures fit into the cockpits and all?

Lion and Vehicle Voltron originally came from seperate lines, It was just in america they were forced into one storyline

The original Lion Voltron didn't have space for action figures, it's one of those things people think they remember, like the original Optimus Prime being the same size as Masterpiece!

You know I don't think I ever saw a single Thundercats figure throughout my entire childhood.

STUDIO4°C, the Japanese studio who are working on the new cartoon have made some outstanding stuff in the past though. Could be a good little series.

There's a reason for that- Thundercats was the 80's exception to the rule, it was originally a cartoon without toys. They toys were an afterthought (although good quality for 80's stuff) so the toys were never as populous as say, Masters of the Universe.
