LEGO Ideas set 21311 Voltron lets you build five posable lions that combine into an 18-inch Defender of the Universe display model.

I reassembled LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) for a nostalgia binge this summer and it still holds up as one of the cleverest combiner builds. Each lion is sturdy enough to swoosh on its own, with rubberized paws and ratcheting joints that click satisfyingly into place. The combination sequence is manual but intuitive—the torsos lock together solidly, the arms snap on via Technic axles, and the iconic blazing sword and shield finish the pose. Standing nearly 18 inches tall, combined Voltron has enough articulation to strike hero poses without wobbling, especially if you leave the display stand under the torso. The set’s been retired for a while, so the price has climbed, yet if you grew up on Defender of the Universe, nothing beats seeing the lions lined up before forming the towering mech.
