Albegas (as he was originally known) is a real six armed bad a@$ in my estimation. Notice two links, one English an the other not. I like the Japanese version, as it has the early part where one of the three pilots is enjoying some tasty lunch when a ro-beast pops up on the radar in space. I know I hate it when I am trying to eat lunch and I have to drop everything in order to rid the Universe of such ro-beast vermin....
Note, rocket backpack which I think would be a nice addition in a Chogokin remake release, as well as that double bladed staff weapon. I like how he takes his three part sword and runs the ro-beast thru before opening up a can of chest rocket whuuuup a#$, lol. No doubt, my fav of the Voltron line. An how lame is matchbox for not adding any weapons an accessories. I would much prefer like the version below which will be my 3rd link. This guy here only sells Voltron by the way, love that angle lol. I told my buddy at work about that an he laughed like all get out an said..."You mean he has nothing else in his store, only Voltron you gotta be kiddin me? The Voltron lions from the early 80's?" I was like yes sir, just Voltron stuff. I would like to pop soon on this Albegas, but the price is a bit STTEEEEP for this ol guy, and it is missing a key top section of the three piece sword unit, which is to sweet IM robot O, lol....

Why did he have six arms which made me think he was designed in that essence of perhaps like some of the famous six armed God like figures from our past cultures, yet in old cartoon only two displayed? I like to think for myself that he could form them like his weapons out of thin air when need be, as this gives me peace of mind, lol....
Lastly, why did he get the Voltron II title in America. Simple, this cartoon never took off over here, as it ran for like one season in limited channels an access, even though matchbox did try an get a piece of the pie, taking the concept and making him into Voltron II. I also hear the matchbox design is far less superior to the nice Japanese version I want like pictured in 3rd link, esp blue unit....
I may buy that bad boy yet, an try an custom design that third sword section, as I am good with stuff like that. Would be neat find an craft a similar like double bladed staff from another modern day Chogokin set, just to add to it for display....
