Media Blasters has announced that it will launch DVD collections of the ever-popular classic anime series Voltron: Defender of the Universe under its AnimeWorks brand in September. Eight releases are planned, each a boxed set of three DVDs with 15 episodes.
Media Blasters is promising an aggressive video restoration process, remixed 5:1 audio, and premium special edition packaging.
Voltron remains extremely popular, although the product flow has slowed. Toynami has a $150 limited edition Voltron figure (see 'Toynami's 2006 Line'). The Devil's Due comic series ended a couple of years ago. The property was recently optioned for a movie (see 'Voltron Optioned').
In addition to Voltron: Defender of the Universe, MediaBlasters will release Hundred Beast King GoLion and Armored Squadron Dairugger XV on DVD beginning in 2007.
