Voltron is a U.S. robot anime franchise built from footage of Beast King GoLion and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV. A 280-episode catalog is set for worldwide distribution through a CAKE and WEP partnership, and a live-action film is in development at Amazon MGM Studios.
Voltron began as a U.S. series assembled from footage of two Japanese robot anime, Beast King GoLion and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV. That origin remains central to how the franchise is described in current coverage, which ties the property to its 1980s roots even as new projects move forward.
In June 2026, production company CAKE and World Events Productions announced a partnership to distribute 280 episodes of the Voltron animated franchise worldwide. The catalog covers the original series adapted from Toei's Golion and Dairugger XV, plus later entries Voltron: The Third Dimension and Voltron Force. The deal was announced as a live-action Voltron film is in development at Amazon MGM Studios.
Two months later, Medicom Toy confirmed a Voltron BE@RBRICK release. The two-figure set, in 100% and 400% sizes, is priced at 16,500 yen and ships in August 2026 through MEDICOM TOY TOKYO. The release ties the toy line to a franchise described as a U.S. social phenomenon, sold directly through Medicom Toy's own shop.
