I had a full size one that shot missiles from its hands.

Yeah, I took that as sarcasm.

Yes, Voltron. These are the original Japanese die cast toys from Yugen Kaisha. They actually have stickers on the bottom of them that say GoLion, the original Japanese anime Voltron was based on. GoLion is an interesting rabbit hole to go down, to see how it was Americanized for an audience of kids. Here’s the thread where I discussed it.
