The toys for this series were featured in Mattel's "Shogun Warriors" toy collection in America.
The show was a huge success in the Philippines. The show's theme song (which was available in both Japanese and English) even became a Top-Ten hit there. In 1979, the show was banned by then-dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Rumors as to why he canceled the show vary from manipulating what shows could and couldn't air for the benefit of the government television broadcaster's ratings, to fears that the struggle of oppressed vs. oppressors would inspire revolt against his regime and its practices. But the series returned to the Philippines after Marcos' deposition in 1986, and remains popular.
A compilation film titled The Liberation: Voltes V The Movie was released in the Philippines in 1999 that contains the last 5 episodes of the original series. The original voice cast for the Tagalog dub was replaced, except for Dodo Crisol, who reprises as Prince Zardoz.
A live action remake is about to be released by GMA 7 Philippines in 2022. It will be named Voltes V Legacy and will feature live action Filipino actors composited with 3d animation.
This show was extremely popular in the Philippines that most children will be at home by 6 pm to watch the opening credit and won't leave their respective homes till the very end of the program.
