Are you chronically fascinated with lions? Do see the potential of a brilliant toy series featuring monsters in coffin-shaped Matchbox thingies to be activated with a flick of a gnarly, battery-operated Hagar staff? Do you check out the next hot thing in showbiz and automatically assess the Voltron movie cast factor? Answer yes to any of these questions, and I say you are suffering from Pentaleomania. Okay, the mock Latin sucks, but I had to call it something.

Voltron is unforgettable. It has all the elements of a classic: two planets both alike in dignity, supernatural monsters, witchcraft, weird science, robots, and a ghost that haunts the castle corridors because the people who live there just couldn't get a clue. Small wonder it reaped a loyal fandom.

In the case of Edward R, it started when he laid eyes on the first series die-cast toys. For Son of Abilimelech... it's just that giant mechanical lions seem way cooler to ride than giant flying trucks. Peach Plum watched the show until she reached puberty, waiting in vain for at least one couple to get it on... on her behalf, thanks for all the unconcluded, big dudes at WEP. They've been swell.

I'm a Pentaleomaniac. The scars run deep. We can trace it to TV, then the frustration of not having Edward R's toys. Then we were making up stories because, durn it, I expected so much more than faint, shoot, and insinuating-Lotor-wears-shoulder-pads scenes!

Pentaleomania happens. It cannot be helped. Embrace the inevitable.
