10. Let's Volt In .... Voltes V vs Pres. Marcos


Voltes V and the rest of the Super Robots (Daimos, Mazinger Z, and UFO Grendizer) were the best things that ever happened to me during my childhood years.  From Monday to Friday at 6:00 p.m. every kid in the subdivision was glued to their black and white TV set watching their favorite Super Robot cartoons. After the show, my friends and I would meet outside and discuss how these Super Robots destroy their enemies. For me it was like watching a Manny Pacquiao bout every day at 6:00 p.m., that is how exciting it was.


We would buy a pack of Purefoods hotdog in Gotesco, Caloocan to get a free Voltes V giveaway. Every day I would nag my mom to buy me a Voltes V robot. She said if she buys one then we would not eat for a month because it costs a month’s wage. Instead of buying Voltes V, I settled for a Mekanda Robot which was cheaper.  In 1979 at the peak of its popularity a big diecast Voltes V robot would cost around 900 pesos which is about 45,000.00 now. So I just bought what we can afford -- coloring books, tex cards, vinyl records, posters, Questor magazines, etc.

Then the dreaded thing happened, President Ferdinand Marcos banned Voltes V and other robot cartoons "because of excessive violence".  I felt so heart broken and angry, parang na busted ako ng 10 times.  Sobrang sakit Kuya Eddie…  How I hated Marcos back then, kung nakamamatay ang galit napatay ko na si Marcos.  It is a pity that we do not have pirated DVD in 1979 . Para akong nanakawan ng masayang childhood memory.

After the ouster of Pres. Marcos Voltes V's show was later aired in 1986 but the excitement and joy of watching it as a kid were not there anymore. Each one of us had a fun childhood memory and these Super Robot cartoons were mine.

I was able to preserve some of them and bought others that were lost in the floods at  Malabon.  Glad that I was able to find some of Voltes V memorabilia that I loved as a child.

  15. OMG. This is one of the things that makes my elementary days worth remembering. Lagi akong nagmamadaling umuwi noon from school para makapanood ng Voltes V and other animation shows sa TV. I think Fridays 6 pm pinalalabas ang Voltes V. Meron ding Mazinger Z, Balatack, Daimos, UFO Grendaizer, and Star Rangers noon. Really, nakakatuwang magbalik-tanaw. Galit din ako noon nang i-ban ni Marcos ang mga cartoons dahil daw nakakasira ng pag-aaral ng mga bata. Tingnan nyo naman ngayon, mas masahol pa ang mga bata dahil puro video games ang alam. I remember making masks out of cartolina para isuot namin ng mga kalaro ko. Meron pang mga free souvenir items noon ang Voltes V courtesy of Purefoods Hotdogs. Sobrang sikat ng Voltes V kaya merong group na nag-record ng Tagalog version nito:

    "Sana ngayon kami ay malaki na
    Upang makatulong sa hustisya
    Lilipulin namin ang masasamang tao
    Itatapon sa loob na kalaboso.

    Ang mga snatcher, carnapper, holdupper
    Dognapper at mga ?????
    Lilipulin naming lahat (2x)

    Voltes V tatandaan. Yan po ang tatak namin (Voltes V!)
    Pag nakita ninyo kami, magtago na kayo
    Walang biro, lagot kayo
    Pati na lolo nyo!

    Voltes V! Tandaan!"

    I'm teary-eyed. Sarap maging bata uli.

When we went to New Zealand (but we came back coz there was no work) all of my coloring books, bookmarks, Questor (1st edition) went missing. All I have are the stickers, the robot (big & small). Anyways, it's really great looking at your collections. God bless!

  31. Awesome! This reminds me of when I visited the PI in 1980 and Voltes V was all the rage. My parents couldn't afford to get me one of those die-cast metal robots, but I got an awesome coloring book instead. I can't remember which it was, but I do remember one page where Voltes V (or another "good" robot) was totally slicing an enemy in half (from head to crotch). It was brutal! Would you by chance happen to know (or have) that coloring book? That was my favorite page to color! Let me know. Thanks!

  32. you know...I also have these things way back when I was in elementary school...sadly when we transferred to another house a lot of them were lost, including a whole lot of comics magazines (DC, marvel, etc.) which have been shown in movies in the past years. I also remember a very nice story line in comic books entitled The Iron Fist, Red Sonja, and others. I still have my Voltes V robot though which came in individual boxes and on the back of the box is a photo of the Japanese designer of the toy robot. Inside each box is a foldout technical drawing of the machine and when it is volted-in it stands about 12 to 14 inches in height. How I miss those days!!! I am hoping to find a torrent for the Voltes V, Mazinger Z, Daimos, Danguard Ace, etc. english episodes. razirafi2@yahoo.com

I was wondering though......do you recall of a comics or magazine back in the 70's where they did a team-up of Voltes V, Mazinger Z and Daimos? I vividly recall looking thru the pages back in a stall in Virra Mall. I never bought it, but I have always wondered if anyone actually has a copy of that that they can scan and post online.........
