Yea but at least this is throat cancer not "we found his arm in the crib" or wherever it was

I did not know he lived less than an hour away from me.... That's just crazy.

I remember I had the big Voltron. I lost the shield and the sword. And then later on I lost the red tiger

I used to love this toy. I'll even take a bath with Voltron.

Good times

r.i.p.

nerd fact

This was actually what the company originally ordered to be made into Voltron. But since they only asked for the show with the lion, they got sent GoLion instead, which became the Voltron we all love and know
