The Quest to Document My Two Year Voltron Costume Build

From previous posts, all of you know I have an obsession with Voltron. An obsession that was fueled from watching the original series growing up in the ’80s.

In 2017 I had decided to start working on a project that would take me two years to complete, I know that with my physical limitations pulling this costume off was going to be tricky and this would be something I would probably only ever do once.

I debuted the costume at Dragon Con in 2019 and off and on wore the costume for a total of about 4 to 5 hours. The highlight of this was when I was found by two of the voice actors for Voltron Legendary Defender who asked to take a picture with me. They had apparently missed me at the Voltron photo shoot earlier that day and were trying to keep an eye out for me to get a picture.
