Here's a rundown on the details of the kit:

• Features 5 buildable and posable lions that can be transformed and combined to create the giant Voltron super robot.
• Play with the lions individually or combine them using extra-strong joints to form Voltron—the black lion forms the head and torso; the red and green lions form the arms; and the yellow and blue lions form the legs.
• Pose the head, shoulders, arms and wrists of Voltron (legs are not posable).
• Also includes a sword and shield (each with silver-colored elements) that attach firmly to Voltron's hands.
• Includes a booklet with building instructions, plus information about the set's fan creator and super force of LEGO® designers.
• This set includes over 2,321 pieces.
• Display or play out exciting stories from the original 1980s animated Voltron TV series and the modern DreamWorks Voltron: Legendary Defender series.
• Voltron measures over 15" (40cm) high, 5" (14cm) long and 8" (21cm) wide.
• Black lion measures over 6" (17cm) high, 8" (22cm) long and 5" (15cm) wide.
• Yellow and blue lions each measure over 3" (8cm) high, 8" (21cm) long and 3" (8cm) wide.
• Green and red lions each measure over 3" (8cm) high, 7" (18cm) long and 1" (5cm) wide.
• Voltron's sword measures 11" (29cm) long.
• Voltron's shield measures 6" (16cm) in diameter.

With DreamWorks breathing new life into the franchise via the Netflix reboot, Voltron has found a new generation of fans, and they're sure to enjoy this kit.

I'll admit, the non-posable legs are kind of a bummer, but it will be cool to have a literal build-it-yourself transformer. Even the sword is made of individual parts instead of one giant plastic piece. It's also kind of a waste that the kit doesn't come with minifigures of the pilots.

The Voltron set is available for $179.99 at SDCC 2018, but it will be available for a wide release on Aug. 1.

Catch Voltron: Legendary Defender on Netflix.
