Voltron 'Form Blazing Sword' Boxer Shorts for Sale
posted on by Gia Manry
World Events Productions' official online Voltron store is currently selling Voltron-branded boxer shorts. The shorts feature the giant robot's top half and the catchphrase "Form Blazing Sword," a reference to the robot's summoning of a large sword during battles. The shorts cost US$19.95.
The late Peter Keefe produced Voltron by combining and re-dubbing the Japanese anime series Beast King GoLion and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV in 1984. In the Lion Force Voltron part of the franchise, the five protagonists pilot five different mechanized lions which can combine to form the giant robot Voltron. The pilots defend the planet Arus from King Zarkon and Planet Doom.
Keefe passed away last May, shortly after plans for a live-action adaptation of Voltron were "rebooted."
Similar products to the Voltron boxers are available in Japan, including Space Battleship Yamato-branded underwear and several varieties of Lucky Star-branded underwear.
