Hello, and welcome to my tutorial page for removing the arms from your Voltron III.  This does not apply for the Toynami set; only Matchbox, Trendmasters, and the bootlegs of those sets.

So, you've got your Voltron, and now you're ready to disassemble back into lion form.  But the arms wont come out!!!  What the???  Well, here are 2 ways to remove the arms, complete with pictures.  Keep in mind though, that the spaces between your Red & Green Lions to the Black Lion is very small, and these methods could damage the paint a little bit.   Ironically, a friend sent a scanned copy of directions included in the Go-Lion sets that say the EXACT same thing as this tutorial.

Option1:

Arrange Voltron into the above position.  Like the gymnast move, extending the arms straight out. 

You then grab the lion you are working on (in this case Red Lion) and you're going to be moving the lion like you're putting the arms back at Voltron's sides.

While in the downward motion, pull outward gently with your fingers on the lion's rear section.  Doing this, should pop the lion right out as indicated in the picture.

Option 2:

Basically, the same as option 1, but in reverse.  The motion is the same, but if the lion didn't pop out from moving the lion from at the side to straight out, then pulling gently while moving the lion into position is the key for your Voltron.

Make sure to have your fingers on the rear section of the lion while pulling outward while moving the lion upwards this time.

These steps should result in the arm disconnecting from the body.

Either option you decide to use, the end result is that your Voltron is now separated!  Enjoy the magnificent toy that is Voltron!
