We’re getting down to the wire now. With just one more Lion/Pilot set to be released, we’ve almost got our completed Voltron! This month saw the release of the Blue Lion with pilot Princess Allura.
Allura was actually the second pilot to the Blue Lion. The original pilot was Sven, who was also released this month as a club exclusive figure, meaning you could only own one if you had signed up for the subscription last year. He was killed off early in the series, but when they dubbed it for America, they changed the dialogue to say that he was only injured (since fragile American kids couldn’t see a cartoon character die) and had to be sent off to another planet for healing. So Princess Allura took his place as a part of team Voltron. She was Princess and ruler of the planet Arus, the very planet that the Voltron Force was trying to protect. But in Sven’s absence, she became a very hands on monarch, and took to the fighting herself.
