Yeah, Playmates had been doing Voltron stuff since Legendary Defender premiered, in at least an off and on basis. Wonder if they felt Power Rangers was sufficient for their needs since Voltron hadn't been lighting much of a fire.Ok, that actually surprises me...I'd expect Playmates to have been the go-to for this one. They just DID a big Voltron almost the size of Titan Devestator, complete with electronics and everything.
Or maybe Hasbro just offered more money? Still surprising to see Hasbro take a grab at licenses like this given their slate.
