Early 2010 I believe. It will also be a stand a lone set that is compatible with the current models.

“When we set out to create the first-ever Voltron tabletop miniatures game, we wanted to make sure everything about it drew the player right into the Voltron universe and thrust them front and center in the battle for control of the galaxy,” said Privateer Press Chief Creative Officer Matt Wilson. “This July, everyone who once dreamed of being part of the Voltron Force will finally have their chance to ‘form blazing sword’ and take control of the indomitable Defender of the Universe.”

Thats.... I just...

So if the enemy destroys one of the Lions, is forming Voltron then screwed?

"...form feet and--- Hey! Where's Blue Lion? Can we still do this with just one leg?"

[Kikaida]

Probably works like the existing morphers. The lions are the alpha form of the monster. Damage done to the individuals are taken off the health meter. Besides, everyone knows a lion can't be destroyed...

All Voltron fanboys, the preview page is up and has shots of some of the figures. (Voltron seems so much smaller in person...)
