This is quite, quite wrong. Ah, hindsight is a bugger.
And here's some
pirated Buffy figures! Boy, do they suck!
And I just had a nasty shock. Everyone knows Lion Force Voltron, but apparently not many people remember the original Vehicle Voltron. I found a pic of the original toys - but it turns out that Lion Force Voltron was Voltron 3! Voltron 2 was 'Gladiator' Voltron (or 'Albegas' Voltron) and it
sucked the big one! WAAAGH!
Weird Voltron trivia:

Everyone knows the story of Sven, right? He was the original pilot of the Blue Lion, fighting alongside Keith and the others until a battle injury forced him to turn over his duties to Princess Allura. By the end of the series, his wounds had healed and he returned for the final battles, even going man-to-man with Lotor. Well, that's the story if you've only seen the Americanized Voltron: Defender of the Universe. Things went a little differently in Golion, the Japanese original. In Japan, the Sven characters name was Takashi Shirogane, and he wasn't just injured in that early episode. He was killed. That's right, dead as a doornail. It's his younger brother Sho who's in the final episodes, and he's the one who beats the crap out of Sinclaine (Lotor) in the climactic battle. And by the way, they both die in the original (Voltron has them fall into water and survive). In this case, the American version is probably preferable. I mean, who do you respect more: A guy who gets injured and later returns for some payback, or a looser who buys it early on and has to be avenged by his kid brother?
