I won’t be at the San Diego Comic-Con but Voltron will be

So here is the thing.  I have never been to the San Diego Comic-Con.  It’s not for the lack of trying, or from the lack of not wanting to go.  Voltron will be there, but I won’t.  Sad day.

Here are some reasons for not being able to go:

1. Can’t afford the good tickets (if I am going to do it, I want to do it right)
2. Can’t afford to fly out there from Ohio
3. Can’t afford to book a hotel room to stay for the duration
4. Sensing a theme here?

I have been a Voltron fan all my life since I was a little kid really from the original Voltron, and the Vehicle Voltron as well.  I remember being glued to the TV to watch every episode whenever it came on.

So what is going on with Voltron at the San Diego Comic-Con 2017 this year?  Find out below.

 

 

THURSDAY, JULY 20th:

Join executive producer Joaquim Dos Santos, co-executive producer Lauren Montgomery, Bex Taylor-Klaus and Tyler Labine as they debut the first episode of season three of the Netflix original series DreamWorks Voltron Legendary Defender. All attendees will receive an SDCC-exclusive poster created by the Voltron crew and the new Voltron chapter book “The Rise of Voltron” from Simon & Schuster.

VOLTRON AROUND THE CON

Hunk’s Food Goo Replication Station (Food Truck)

As Coran would say, “Ahoy, young paladins! I’ve whipped up a big batch of focusing food. After this snack, you’ll be forming Voltron six times a movement and twice on the astral conflux!”  Take a break from the crowds and have a cold and refreshing treat on us. DreamWorks Animation Television is bringing every paladin’s (least) favorite snack to San Diego: green food goo! From 11 AM – 6 PM Thursday to Saturday and 11 AM to 5 PM Sunday you’ll find Hunk’s Food Goo Replication Station serving Altea’s finest green goo while supplies last.

Lion Forge Comics

Located in Booth #1903, Lion Forge Comics is giving away free Black Lion masks (while supplies last), massive 22″x34″ 4-Color posters (while supplies last), 4-color bookmarks and will be selling Voltron Legendary Defender Volume 1 which collects issues 1-5 of the miniseries.

Since I can’t go and probably will never get a chance to go, if you see any cool Voltron merchandise there and want to get it for me, I would adore you! 

If you get to go, please come back and leave some comments on how it was?  Do you like Voltron?  What is your best memory of it? ~Tom
