Voltron Volume 2 is a three-disc DVD set that includes fifteen episodes of the Lion Force Voltron series. The very first two discs contain six episodes, while the third disc contains three episodes and the special features.
On this set, there are six items in the "Special Features" menu. The very first is labeled, "Buckethead Music Video." This is a music video for "Viva Voltron," a song recorded by Buckethead. The video includes footage from Voltron, although some of the footage is obscured by superimposed appearances by Buckethead (and the footage of Buckethead has effects overlayed on it). This is an interesting instrumental track, but I was rather underwhelmed by the video.
The second feature is labeled as, "The Life & Legend." This is a 34-minute documentary that talks about how grueling the production schedule for Voltron was, Marc Handler provides some background on the show and its appeal, information about a live event where actors dressed as some of the characters and toured the country, the Voltron Express charity event for the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and a brief mention of the live-action film that was just in the works when the documentary was recorded.
The subsequent feature is labeled as, "The Toys." In this nine-minute documentary, several people involved with Voltron talked about the toys and various merchandise tie-ins that Voltron had.
The fourth feature is labeled as, "T.V. Ads." This feature includes one English toy commercial, four or five Japanese toy commercials, and one commercial for the Lion Force Voltron television show. When you view the ads, you have no way to select which ones you want to watch. They all stream as one piece, in the upper corner of the screen (the rest of the screen is a border featuring Voltron toys). Unfortunately, the quality of the audio and video on the commercials isn't the best.
Another feature on the disc is labeled, "International Voltron." This feature talks about how after World Events turned Beast King GoLion into Voltron, how other international markets became interested in Voltron, and would translate the Voltron version of the property into their native language. The opening and closing of Beast King GoLion is included, as well as some shots and scenes of Voltron in English, French, and Spanish; also, the occasional scene from Beast King GoLion would be included.
For fans of Voltron, this set allows you to obtain more episodes of the Lion Force Voltron series for your DVD collection. Through the documentaries included on the third disc, you can also get some background information on what went on behind-the-scenes for the production of the Voltron series, as well as some background on the toys and merchandise. This DVD set should really be in the collection of anyone who is a fan of Voltron.

This was my husband's favorite cartoon when he was a kid, and I've gotten him the very first 2 sets.

The second Voltron collection celebrates the orange-clad Hunk and his blue-eyed Yellow Lion. Inside the super neat-O tin case is another set of three DVDs on an attractive but inconvenient folding cardboard holder with a terrific illustration of Zarkon and Haggar on the back. Overall, the episodes here are substantially better than the ones on the very first set. Although many of the plots employ the usual Witch Haggar Robeast formula, they don't seem quite as repetitious now thanks to the addition of Zarkon's endearingly-evil son, Lotor, and a few new planets (Pollux, Lyra and Tyrus), minor characters (Farla, Romelle and Bandor) and Voltron weapons (the Electro Saber and the Argon Force Field). Like the Blue Lion Collection, these discs contain a total of fifteen adventures, including these exciting classics:
"My Brother's a Robeast": The sinister King Kova, warmongering ruler of Planet Pollux, meets with Zarkon to request that his son, Prince Avok, be transformed into a Robeast so he can crush the indomitable Voltron. With the linking lions out of the way, Kova and Zarkon will finally be able to conquer peaceful Planet Arus and divide it between them. Since the freckle-faced Avok is Pollux's greatest warrior, his scheming father is certain that rotten old Witch Haggar can easily mold him into the most awesomely powerful monster in the galaxy. First, though, the pugnacious Prince must defeat Zarkon's white-haired son, Lotor, in the infamous fighting arena. This shouldn't be too difficult to do, as Lotor is so busy staring at the beautiful blonde in the audience that he can't keep his mind on the duel. She is Prince Avok's loyal sister, Romelle...but why does she look so much like Princess Allura?
"The Buried Castle": Three chubby children are hiking through the lush Arusian woods when a spooky old fortress mysteriously rises from the ground beyond the trees. Fearlessly, the young explorers approach the ominous structure as lightning bolts crackle in the sky. They are soon joined by Pidge and one of the Princess' colorful rodent friends. The diminutive adventurers cross the wind-whipped castle's doorstep and make their way to the treasure room. Suddenly, bony fingers pierce the creaky floorboards and seize their tiny ankles!
"The Deadly Flowers": Strange pink and orange seed pods rain down on Arus and quickly bloom into fragrant flowers. Initially, the planet's citizens are thrilled with the vast fields of pretty posies that carpet the Arusian landscape...but they soon find themselves gasping for breath before falling flat on their faces! The only antidote for the devastating flower-bourn illness is found on Lyra, a planet known to have a strong magnetic pull that renders robotic lions inoperable. Fortunately, Lyra's mighty magnetism is neutralized by water, and the Blue Lion was specifically designed to be driven underwater. Unfortunately, Princess Allura, the Blue Lion's pilot, was among those sickened by the aromatic blossoms.
"Raid of the Alien Mice": Princess Allura wishes for peace while stargazing from her picture window in the Castle of Lions. Instead, she gets a metal-munching army of fang-faced purple space vermin, sent from Planet Doom by the haggish Witch Haggar (who else?). It's up to Chitter and his lovable pastel-painted mice pals to stop their vicious alien cousins before they gnaw through the wires that power the Voltron Force's main computer. Meanwhile, a serpent-headed Robeast with very broad shoulders has landed outside!
"Short Run of the Centipede Express": While Zarkon's multi-legged spacecraft soars threateningly through the cosmos, the intrepid Voltron Force navigates the treacherous meteorite fields surrounding Planet Moura, where Lotor's latest ultimate weapon, the Doomsday Gun, is under construction. Simultaneously, within the dark towers of Castle Doom, the lilac-skinned Prince is punishing his disobedient slaves with the help of a carnivorous alligator-man with an extra eyeball embedded in his scaly neck.
"The Treasure of Planet Tyrus": Inside a hideous skull-faced fortress on Planet Tyrus, the cleanly Witch Haggar bathes her blue feline friend in soap bubbles and tomato-red lava liquid while Prince Lotor begins his annual birthday celebration with a relaxing massage from three lovely slave girls. Little does the Spock-eared birthday boy know that the Voltron Force is nearby, aboard a damaged treasure ship bound for Tyrus, admiring the gigantic solid gold statue sent by dear old Dad, King Zarkon.
The Special Features this time around consist of: "Viva Voltron," a music video by the masked electric guitarist, Buckethead, who is known for his KFC headwear; and a featurette entitled, "International Voltron," which includes the original Japanese opening and closing songs from GoLion, plus the French Voltron theme. Also on the third disc are some American and Japanese toy commercials, ... Read More
