Of all the characters, he's the one I'd really want. Has he been announced yet? Voltron needs an enemy to fight!
As far as i know no. At least not yet. I think when the subscription was first announced they said if this year does well with the lions and pilots that they would possibly expand it with more next year.
Hope it continues (though my opinion might change when the Red Lion and Lance arrive next week), I mentioned in the other topic that I'd love to have a Vehicle Voltron set in the same 23" size next year. 5 release of 3 parts at a time would be similar to the 5 Lion releases, but they wouldn't be able to include pilots, though they could include Lotor as the incentive figure.

don't forget King Zarkon!
I agree, i'd love a vehicle Voltron. I'm excited for the red lion, probably not gonna open it until i have all five lions though.
I too would like Vehicle Voltron; I didn't think that version was particularly popular though; glad to hear I'm not the only fan of the design.
Rewatching random episodes of Voltron here and there in anticipation of the toy line and wow does it not old up. The acting and writing is terrible even by Superfriends standard. so many awkward lines of dialouge each episode. That aside, I noticed something disturbing. I'm pretty sure there's an episode where they imply Lotor raped Allura's identical cousin (or it might be Allura herself and they invented a "cousin" by re-editing footage from different episodes. I don't know, I've only looked at a couple thus far.) so maybe that's why there's no Lotor.
Unfortunately, no. At least not right now. Matty said the 2012 Voltron lineup is just the 5 lions and 6 pilots. And considering it's Matty, who knows if we'll ever get -any- villains? *sigh*
I read this as "Is Lord of the Rings" coming in the Voltron line?
Which would be all kinds of weird coolness.
Mattel never said there won't be villians. They just said that if the initial line of 5 lions and pilots sell well, they will look into expanding.
