Variety brings us news that THQ has acquired the rights to Voltron for video games. The first game will launch around the same time as the new animated show Voltron Force on NickToons in the Fall of this year. The first entry in the video game series will follow the adventures of the original show from the 80’s Voltron: Defender of the Universe. Mattel will also be launching a brand new toy line based on the new series expected around the same time. I would not be surprised if there was a sub-line dedicated to the original line much like every other 80’s cartoon revival going strong today.

It should be noted that THQ recently also reached an agreement with Mattel itself, to create games based on its own in-house properties including Barbie and Masters of the Universe.

If we had our pick of lions, I’d probably pick to be the Yellow lion to take on Robeasts prior to ganging up and forming Voltron. How about you? Let us know in the comments!

ItsAllTrue.net and TNI had some great write ups of the MOTU Classics announcements. I will attempt to summarize here after the jump. For more, please check out their sites.

All images in this post are from ASM. Please check out there galleries here. I only posted a very few. They have a great gallery of lots more photos. Check ’em out!

While combing through convention photos today, The Terror Drome twitter feed noticed something a little funny. It looks like the giant Optimus Prime with trailer parked outside of Toy Fair got a parking ticket. I hope New Yorkers aren’t expecting the Autobots to come help them when the Decepticons master Teletran 3’s teleportation technology and invade Earth on Hell Day.

 

BigBangPow! post on their blog some teaser images of upcoming products. It looks to be their two display cases at Toy Fair 2011. So I guess its more of a “Here’s what we have” as opposed to “Here’s a tiny sample to whet your appetite”. Anyway, the images include products for the Twilight Zone, Lost, The Venture Bros., Dexter, Dr. Who, and various one-off figures from various movie franchises like the Big Lebowski and Flash Gordon.

I’m particularly interested in the Venture Bros. and I’m seeing a lot of new product we haven’t seen before including.

Hasbro just released the official images of the items revealed during their press event. Among them was the big announcement of a brand new Skystriker jet. Further they announced that this year’s San Diego Comic Con exclusive would be a repainted version of this jet to look like Starscream with Cobra Commander as the pilot who will carry a gun that is Megatron in gun mode. Its kind of a big deal.

I thought this image needed its own post. And it does.

Please, please, please don’t let there be another Sgt. Slaughter massacre on HasbroToyShop this year.
