A very vocal and large segment of that fanbase is female. Many of the Voltron cosplay meetups are dominated by women dressed up as various characters, from the Paladins to minor characters, and their enthusiasm is infectious. When asked why the series attracts this level of passion from women, co-executive producer Lauren Montgomery delightfully observes, “they have good taste.” Executive producer Joaquim Dos Santos believes that the show’s characters are what this large segment of the audience finds so appealing. Dos Santos hopes they can continue to open up Voltron to this audience and, “maybe making financial sense to play to that audience.” Dos Santos explains that while the series has sold a lot of toys, the people behind they series are very aware there’s a segment of the audience that doesn’t necessarily have content that’s targeted toward them. If they can build that both Dos Santos and Montgomery will be super happy. Banner image courtesy of Marc Morrell at LetsVoltron.com.
