A Colourful Blast from the Past: Super7’s 11” Voltron Super Cyborg Figure

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing inside Voltron’s mechanical guts, Super7 has made your wish come true. Their new 11” Voltron Super Cyborg figure combines nostalgia with an intriguing twist. This full-colour release strips back the lion-headed defender’s armour, exposing his insides in all their cybernetic glory.

A Closer Look at the Super7 Voltron Super Cyborg

Super7, known for its creative spins on iconic figures, has gone all out with the Voltron Super Cyborg. Standing at 11 inches tall, this big guy is a stunner with its retro-styled robotic detailing. What’s unique about this figure is that it offers a ‘cyborg’ view of Voltron’s internal workings—panels and circuitry visible on the chest, perfect for the sci-fi enthusiast in all of us. It’s essentially Voltron, but stripped down to show off his technical brilliance.

From the reviews I’ve seen, the Voltron Super Cyborg feels solid and has a nostalgic charm that will appeal to fans of the classic ‘80s show. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a cool twist on Voltron though. Remember the Robo-DOU Voltron Black x Gold Edition I wrote about recently? That one had a slick, modern aesthetic, while this Super Cyborg offers something raw and mechanical. It’s not just a figure, but a reminder of the vibrant animation and futuristic designs that made us fall in love with Voltron in the first place.

What’s Under the Hood?

One of the standout features of this 11″ Voltron Super Cyborg is the removable chest panel. Yep, you heard right! Pop off the panel and get a full view of his innards—it’s a perfect blend of playability and display-worthy detailing. The interior is painted in vibrant colours that match Voltron’s outer armour, which really amps up that cool factor.

Even though the figure itself is more of a static pose (don’t expect any full lion transformations here), the articulation is decent, making it poseable enough for collectors who like to display their toys in a variety of positions. From the images, it’s clear Super7 put a lot of attention into the paint job, making each section pop. This definitely isn’t your average shelf filler.

Comparing the Super Cyborg Voltron to Other Super7 Releases

This isn’t the first time Super7 has tackled iconic figures in their Super Cyborg line. Their Super Cyborg Creature from the Black Lagoon also showcased how cool these transparent panels can be, exposing the insides of iconic characters. The Voltron Super Cyborg follows in these footsteps but with an added dose of bright ‘80s energy, which perfectly suits the character.

For me, seeing the inner workings of a figure like this is a geeky delight. Sure, it’s a more niche approach to toy collecting, but if you’re someone who enjoys a figure that does more than just stand there, this is a solid addition to your collection.

The 1980s Voltron Cartoon and Toy History

For those of us who grew up glued to the telly in the ’80s, Voltron was more than just another Saturday morning cartoon. It was the ultimate mecha dream—a group of space adventurers piloting mechanical lions that combined into the gigantic Voltron Defender of the Universe. The show itself, a blend of Japanese anime and Western editing, quickly became a fan favourite.

And then there were the toys! Oh, the toys. The original Voltron figures were a kid’s dream come true, especially with the die-cast metal versions that felt indestructible. I remember my cousin had the full Voltron set, and we spent hours forming and re-forming the lions into the mighty robot. Nowadays, these original toys are considered prized collector’s items. What’s great about this new 11″ Voltron Super Cyborg is that it’s not trying to replace those cherished figures—it’s adding a new spin for a new generation of fans (and old fans like me who still have a soft spot for our childhood robots).

The Super7 Voltron Super Cyborg

Super7’s Voltron Super Cyborg takes the concept of a toy figure and turns it into a mini piece of art. It’s not for everyone—it’s a display piece more than a play toy—but for those who love Voltron and want a fresh take on their collection, this figure is a great way to go. It offers a fun, eye-catching look at the mechanics of our favourite space-faring robot.

Compared to some of the other Voltron figures I’ve looked at, like the Robo-DOU Voltron, this one feels like more of a collector’s niche product, especially with its cyborg aesthetic. But for me, the nostalgia factor alone makes it worth considering. It’s a modern tribute to an iconic ‘80s classic, and I’m totally here for it.
