sweet...wasnt aware of the new ultraman.

Voltron was awesome.

Loved them! On my street/race bike my license plate read 'Racer X.' Speed's older brother.

As a note, the idea of jacks built into the frame, a la Indy cars, came directly from the Mark V!

If you haven't heard of Voltron then your too young. Voltron was big in the mid 80's. I use to enjoy watching the show. Now when I look back I wonder what made me like that Japanese crap.

 

[Pecos]

I think there was a newer Voltron (where they were in space or something). The older was much better.

I used to watch UltraMan and Spectreman whenever I could.


Not sure if this is correct (but it should be close!)....

In a flash, like a flame.
Faster - than a plane.
A mystery, with the name
Spectreman!

Power, from space.
He'll save the human race.
Yet they'll never know the face of
Spectreman!

We will never know the source
of his power or his force.
As he guides this planets course
Spectreman!

will check ebay...i still have the lions set in the original box sealed from 1984

I believe they have speed racer back too. my 5 yr old son loves ultraman.

You can get Voltron eps. from Kaaza. I got a few and they were excellent. Made me remember why I liked them as a kid

 

[Aves]

Voltron 0wnz j00! That was the show, watched it all the time.

I only liked the original Voltron though, the one with the Lions.

I even had the whole set as a kid, I was #1 on my block!

OMG, I love TranzorZ!!! I still have 3 videos that I taped when it aired here. There aren't very many resources on the web either, weird. There are for Mazinger Z, but not the bastard Americanized version. Voltron also ruled.

I have never heard of Tranzor Z. I used to watch Ultraman and Voltron (the cars and the lions) all the time.

I remember how pissed off I was about how Power Rangers ripped off Voltron so bad and made it horribly gay

Actually Power Rangers looks more like a rip off of DynaMen than Voltron. Also the Pink Power Ranger looks good nekkid.
