Voltron: Defender of the Universe - Breaking News: Fleet of Doom Available Tuesday From Online Voltron Store!

We have *JUST* received word - on a Sunday, no less! - from the folks at WEP that this Tuesday, June 26th, they will begin shipping the long-awaited Voltron - Fleet of Doom: Limited Edition DVD as an exclusive from the online store at Voltron.com. Cost is $19.99 plus shipping & handling (and tax, if any). Here's their description of the release, including extras:

When the evil King Zarkon aligns with Viceroy Throk of the Drule High Command to create an invincible armada - the Fleet of Doom - all hope seems lost. Wreaking havoc throughout the solar system, this unstoppable menace has plans to rule the known universe, starting with the Galaxy Alliance's secret base on Planet Acura.

The only force capable of taking on this challenge is the unprecedented team up of the mighty Defenders of the Universe, The Voltron Force! For the first time, Lion Force Voltron, led by Keith (voiced by Neil Ross - GI Joe, Transformers) and Vehicle Force Voltron, led by Jeff, must form their Blazing Swords together to battle the deadly alliance.

But what will happen when Zarkon's maniacal heir, Prince Lotor, unleashes his own robotic abomination in the form of a Robeast version of Voltron? Will the combined power of Vehicle and Lion Force be enough to stop the onslaught of the Fleet of Doom?

Featuring the voices of Jack Angel (Spiderman), Michael Bell (Duke - GI Joe), Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime - Transformers) and BJ Ward (Scarlett - GI Joe) and the late Lennie Weinrib (H.R Pufnstuf), Fleet of Doom is a must have for any 80's cartoon aficionado's collection!
