In 1985 toy company Panosh Place released its first and only wave of action figure-related toys related to the animated television series Voltron: Defender of the Universe. A second wave, which was planned for a 1986 release, never materialized… but what if it did? What if Panosh Place’s Voltron toy line had been as enduring and successful as Kenner’s Star Wars toy line? Which toys might have been produced?

Below is a list of “what-ifs.” Wave 1 is what Panosh Place actually released. Wave 2 is what Panosh Place had planned to release in 1986. The subsequent waves are figments of my imagination. Enjoy!
