That is Prince Allura from voltron aka Princess Fala from Beast King Golion the anime Voltron based on.

WEP World Events Productions is making a new voltron series on NetFlix and Allura is totally different. I saw a rendering on Twitter and don't know if it could be linked here. I think they are afraid to original design because they think Disney would sue them for copyright infringement cause Allura/ Fala looks very similar to Princess Aurora. Would they sue?


WEP is a small hole in the wall company operating out of the back of a tv station. They made some other shows in the 1980s. Denver the Last Dinosaur , Saber raider which was another anime converstion. and a failed show called vyter which was only a miniseries that didn't get anywhere cause they couldn't get stores to carry the toys. All they do nowadays is voltron voltron voltron..... Why cause they think it would compete against Power Rangers. They are even working on a live action movie which hasn't gotten anywhere. They need to diversify and make new properties to have multiple sources of income. Disney didn't just keep making only Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck cartoons and not build theme parks ,make fairy tale movies thats how Disney got to be so big and successful. All I see is a little company trying to survive on one thing. They claim to care about the fans but they don't anymore. They are ruining my childhood. Now I know how those star wars fans who hate the prequels and special editions feel.
