The Doom Commander was released in 1984 as part of the first series of figures in Panosh Place's Voltron: Defender of the Univse collection. Panosh Place - a small toy company based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey - was awarded the license to manufacture a line of Voltron toys for the popular animated series and released a single wave of 12 figures, several vehicles and a Castle of Lions playset. Although a second wave of items was planned and shown in a 1986 Panosh Place catalog, it was canceled prior to production, as Voltron's popularity waned.
Piloting the Doom Blaster as part of Zarkon's space fleet, The Doom Commander is a member of the Drule race. While Drules characteristically have a blue-gray (King Zarkon and Prince Lotor) or charcoal gray (Skull Scavenger) skin color, in the Voltron: Defender of the Universe animated series there are a number of Drules who, like the Doom Commander, have red skin.
