**Harmony Gold screaming with rage**
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
XD
This looks amazing👍 BUT let Harmony Rage lol
That is no joke. It is said that a dispute between hasbro and (i want to say) Bandai representatives during a toy fare in ny descendend quickly into a shout match over the right to sell the jetfire valikirye in the usa
@@alfaecotangoromeo do you know when that took place?
Christmas 1985 was pretty good morning when I opened this. Had NO idea I was getting this.
Nice nice :) I'm trying to relive that moment now 😊
Same. But all I can help notice is the orginal had metal parts and the head integrated. Though I bet this one doesn't have tiny plastic clips to hold on the extra armor that will break off.
I have the original Transformer's Jetfire, from back in the 89's still mint in the box!!
Oh wow, nice! Lucky you :)
So what are you gonna do with it? Keep staring at it? lol
The parts you couldn't identify are adapters for the Arcadia stands. The Arcadia designs still hold up pretty well - particularly when you get to their updated Macross Plus Valks. Bandai sure beats them all in paint and materials, but interestingly I think Arcadia made some better proportion and vehicle detail decisions (most of the ones I've handled feel better to transform than the Bandai versions, but they don't display as well). That Jetfire is pretty spectacular - and man, the packaging was ballsy but SO well done! It's so surreal seeing the Jetfire theme on a modern valk, and it looks amazing!
Ahhh got it, thx 4 that. Didnt have any instructions or nuthin. I suppose it'll be useful with the deluxe version that comes with said stand. I totally agree with you on your points regarding Bandai and Yamato. And right?! I cant believe this company KO'd the G1 box XD I was not expecting that, but Im ultra happy that they did!
There is also a 2nd neck filler to put the seat on (why they didn't do those in white tho... ?!). m
@@mattstestchannel2206 yeah dunno lol
Of course this isn't Arcadia; it's Valkyrie Factory, the producer of Arcadia KOs. It's funny that even a KO company felt too afraid to release this, so did so under another name.
One of the parts fits onto the arm and it's designed to fit a Valkyrie cockpit on, as the entire cockpit and nose section is removable on the OG toy.
What a lovely Star League era Wasp Land-Air Mech
Or a Phoenix! 😄
Thank You for sharing this experience! I received mine yesterday and had all the same feels opening this guy up. (I made a quick unboxing video on my channel to share).
I believe the gun pod can attach under the arm-armor. It looks like you might have them on the opposite arms. There are specific LEFT and RIGHT versions. The G1 Box really sets this set apart from the others. A pure nostalgia boost! Very happy with this set. Thanks again for sharing this with us all. Cheers!
Yeah, of course :) And yes, you know what Im talking about! Just in sheer awe! Even today I cant stop staring at it or the box haha And youre correct, I found out later that I had the arms reversed. Still couldnt figure out a way to tab the arms into the legs tho. Nonetheless, holistically it's a magnificent piece. So so happy to have this in my collection :)
He even has Macross/Robotech Logo Stickers.
Yeah so good!!
That box? Brave. VERY Brave. The bad English may be due to OCR scanning gone wrong.
Harmony Gold cannot do anything to the company as its a Chinese company.
@@j-frame I’m more worried about Hasbro doing something about it. Still, fuck Harmony Gold.
Ikr?!?! XD I was trippin hard while removing it from the mailer. And you might be right about the scanning!
I was thinking the bad English might have been on the old boxes too. 😅
@@j-frame Well, it's a KO. There are licensed Chinese companies that HG licenses to, like KitzConcept.
THANK YOU! I ordered instantly. I almost skipped/missed this because I thought it was the disliked KC one.
Nice nice :) Yeah I heard a lot of folks disliked the KC one. And while this one is based off an old valkyrie model, it still holds up great :)
I got the KC one. I got a numbered one below 1000 so I decided just to keep it sealed. The 1st video I watched of this type of toy was for this version but the only one Inhad seen for sale was on BBTS. By the time I realized this was a knockoff I was already past my 30 day return window. I ordered this instantly when I saw the box it came in. The 1st pic I ever saw of the box I thought it was the KC version in a custom box
Translucent parts are pre-order bonus, which, by the way, glows when shine on with a UV light. Deluxe version comes with a cool stand, very well made and very heavy, and with lots of articulation. Well worth the extra $30 price if you want to have your figure on a display. I got my deluxe version in today. Everything looks good. Paint is pretty decent, though not as meticulous as it could have been as there were a few minor splatters, but overall, it's fine if you don't look very closely. My only complaint is that the plane feels so light in hand, as if it's made from cheap plastic, even though the plastic doesn't feel cheap. I feel it could have benefited from some diecast parts or some denser plastic. Love all the different accessories. Anyway, I bought it as a Macross fan bc I have always wanted to have a Veritech fighter to display and this fits the bill. BTW, those black adapters are for his different modes when you want to put him on the display stand.
Ah got it. Yeah they look nice showing off all the engine guts and stuff :) Yeah, the stand looks nice. I ordered a second to see for myself. And I hear ya, the plane does feel light! Like they omitted all metal bits. There are still some present, but the swing bar might be plastic now. Still, what a great toy. Hits right in the nostalgia :)
I had this back in the 80's. One of my favorite transformers toys. I definitely don't remember any of the extra stuff, bit it was like 40 years ago.
Nice nice. Yeah, all the extra bits are from the Macross original, but boy, did they nail that G1 esthetic!
So glad you posted this. I missed my email from showz and my pre-order was cancelled. But now I've bought it.
So glad I subscribed!
Nice nice :) they just restocked both the deluxe and standard version. And thx 4 the sub!
@@BotBenderOrinj oh, there's a deluxe version? What's the difference?
@@beatrixwickson8477 Deluxe seems to come with a flight stand
@@BotBenderOrinj cheers, mate!
;-)
THANKS for the tip, I didn't check the rest of the shipping box and FOUND the extra armor and hands! LOL! I did the same thing when I opened the box and found it to be G1!!!! 2 days and I still have NOT Jetfire sitting here in jet mode. No armor, no conversion, nada. Just admiring the details.
No problem :) What a wonderful figure, right? It's the closest thing we're going to get to a G1 reissue 😄
So glad you made this video
Me too lol. I absolutely loved the experience :)
I remember picking up that box in JC Penny in the South Lake Mall in Merrillville, Indiana. It was a beautiful toy even if to me the colors were all wrong. I was a big Robotech / Macross at the time. It was a thrill to see the Tatsunoko Productions logo on the packaging. Alas, it was too expensive for me, and was no longer a 100% Robotech item. I did buy the Revell Robotech models. That was enough for me.
some of those black clips connects the detachable nose to the forearm from macross when foker saved hikaru
Oooooooh I forgot about that! Thx 4 the insight!
Watched this video last night and instantly whipped out the wallet to purchase the deluxe version. And I'm so glad I did, as it's showing as sold out now this morning!
Nice nice. Yeah, they refreshed the stock a few times, but they might be out out now lol.
Yea I cant find it anywhere
I'm so happy that I pre-ordered. I was going to buy another one, after seeing this but, probably sold out immediately after this video.
the detailing on this is crazy - the opening canopy, the booster packs, oh man. I was imagining playing with it as if I was back in 1985 again... oh man so good so good
Yeah they did an incredible job. It's a pretty interesting knockoff that combines with the Yamato engineering with the G1 box.
Had a neighbor who would buy storage lockers he had toys in a box and did not know what he had. I bought this in mint condition with an original voltron in its box. They had the Kmart sticker price on the side....got them for a steal $10. 😂
Oh my lord, wow! What incredible fortune!
Still have my 80’s og jetfire from when I was a kid, has a few broken pieces but still transforms and presents decently enough on my shelf. Being a fan of Macros/Robotech and Transformers still one of my favorite things from my childhood and glad I still have him. I would love to find an original in better shape but I think there pricey…this one looks pretty tempting but a bit smaller than the original but still rad and I’m glad I found out about it on your channel!
Oh wow nice! Wish I still owned mine XD He's such a wonderful piece of nostalgia and the missing link for both TF and Robotech/Macross fans :) Yeah, this one is a just a hair shy of the original. This being 1/60, while the original was 1/55. Pretty close tho! Thx 4 watching :)
Made when toys were made to be played with. The landing gear were spring loaded and would deploy with the flip of a switch at each wheel. Lots of diecast.
These are probably the best toys ever created
Yeah, this one is a keeper!
Still have my g1 of this. Will have to check it, & see if it's like this
This the Jetfire I always wanted! The only thing cooler would be if it were 1:18th scale and could fit o-ring figures in it.
"Among mysteres of scierce lics the key to victory - Swiftest Autobot Daning battle..." NICE!
XD
That bio is like Jetfire if he had a stroke.
looks like a valk factory redo. Looks really good, and I love the box.
Yeah, Im pretty sure it's VF, but they rebranded to FUGU for this toy just in case Hasbro comes after them lol
absolutely kicking myself for only hearing about this now, after it's sold out. Hope it comes back in stock soon, this looks perfect.
it's still in stock
@@kiwikicker9263 Oh? It's not at the link provided, and the only link I could find is on Ali. I'd love a link!
@@kiwikicker9263 Oh? The link provided had it sold out, do ya know somewhere where I can still get one? Thank you!
@@MechaTheSpider show z store
Hopefully you were able to pick one up! They were refreshing stock all day yesterday, but as of this morning it looks like it's "out out".
The original g1 didnt have the skull and crossbones or Un spacey logos. They've also changed the missle pods on the arms. I think these ones are the "Do You Remember Love" version. This version looks a bit smaller too. But all in all its a really nice updated version of a great toy. Mine got so much love for such a long time.
Yeah, it's def a cross between Jetfire and the Macross Valkyries. And youre correct, the OG Jetfire was 1/55, while this is 1/60. The package is indeed incredible tho. Gave me the mega feels lol. Yeah OG Jetfire was one of my favs cuz I was both a TF and Robotech fan :)
Absolutely love this jet and the video too. I believe those black looking straps you kept asking about is.........garbage. Lol.
XD
Mine is a bit beat up, but I still have the OG version from 89 in box. As much as I'd lover a clean new version like this, I can't say I'm a fan of the skull & crossbones and other newer graphics on him. But at lease they gave him the RoboTec face like the OG.
Still a great looking piece that actually looks like an F-14 (for the most part).
A lot is different then I remember from when I had the toy. The transformation is also different .
"is it in there all the way?"
That's what she said! 🤣
I appreciate the use of proper terms like “Valkyrie” and “Gerwalk,” etc. no goddam veritech or guardian mode for me! Gold star for saying “Roy Sempai…”
Beautiful piece but I still love my AFA graded 80 OG G1 Jetfire!
Oh wow, lucky you! That's quite the grail piece!
@@BotBenderOrinj thanks! I only collect sealed gradable g1.
Thanks for the review. I just bought it. 😅
Nice nice. You're gonna love it!
@@BotBenderOrinj ya it looks awesome and looks good quality from your review. The 1:72 scale legit Bandai ones are $$$… didn’t want to get into it. This one has G1 Jetfire’s colors and the price is reasonable. A must buy 😆
i did not knew about this.
if i get him now, i won't get those sweet clear plastic stuff. But hey, better then having him then nothing. Not available now, but i will keep my eye on it. Macross is a stronger lover in the center of my heart.
Yeah, it's an incredible piece. The Yamato valkyrie mold still holds up after all these years! Hope ShowZ restocks them soon.
@Bot Bender Orinj, its to me, identical, to the original from my youth. not iddentical to the show, but yes just like the original toy
that year i saw it in SEARS i had a choice, Jetfire, Blaster, or the FLAGG carrier. I took Blaster
but the add ons are new
Mann I’m in for this dude!
So sad for a toy that will never be played with.
I had that one for years
Anything Jetfire or Macross that comes out AND transforms is gold. This is however the most gorgeous non "transformers" item I've seen since Commotus (Turmoil) by MMC. Thank you for sharing this because I didn't know it existed until today. You rock 🤘 your channel rocks and we are all so lucky that you do what you do. And long live 3rd and 4th party knockoffs! You keep big bad companies like Hasbro in check with quality, innovation, and a decent price point. Take care!
-End Of Line-
Yeah, this is such a nice piece. Reeks of precious nostalgia lol. Ive known about the product but had no clue it'd be packaged like this. Grand slam! And I appreciate the kind words. Thx 4 the support :)
Hey Show Z, I ordered this direct from this video... and link. Throw some sponsorship this way!!! In all seriousness the engrish on the box makes it even more awesome. Top notch video. New subscriber due to random UA-cam algorithm. Cant wait for it to arrive. Great video from a first time viewer; looking forward to next video and going to bing watch all past videos. Long time transformer fan and Macross fan; but new to modern toys/collectables. Thank you both ShowZ and Bot Bender.
Thx, bud! And this is a sponsored review, ShowZ treats me well :) And thank you for the sub! It's really a great product, I think youre gonna love it. Hits right in the nostalgia XD Hope you dont have to wait long for the delivery!
@@BotBenderOrinj I should have typed More Sponsorship. Looking forward to future vids. Gonna bing watch more this evening to see what other good stuff ShowZ has.
Harmony Gold must be Absolutely Seething right now!!! And of course there's not a single damn thing they can do!
Yeah, it'd be hard for them to track down the bootleggers
Brought me back to opening my G1 Jetfire when I got it for one Christmas 😊
Yes yes and yes! :)
G1 Jetfire was my holy grail. I remember seeing one for sale when I was about seven, but my parents seemed to be in a rush, and didn't let us stop to admire it for more than a few seconds.
For a minute, I thought this version was a straight up KO of the original Takatoku mould, which is what I would be interested in. I already have a Yamato Valkyrie, and the new ThreeZero version on preorder.
But if this one was around twenty years ago, I would have been all in.
By the way, Yamato was the company that originally produced this modern version, but they went out of business. Arcadia bought all of their moulds, and rereleased them. Yamato is long gone, but Arcadia are still releasing product, though their prices are rather extreme; often $300-500.
That's why the new ThreeZero figures are so welcome. Much more reasonably priced, and not based on moulds from twenty years ago.
Yeah I was shocked when I pulled it out of the mailer. I also thought for a sec it was the old 1/55 valk XD And thx 4 the insight regarding the Yamato >> Arcadia exchange. The Threezero stuff is really quite nice. Paint is exquisite, but the way the legs attach to the nosecone leaves much to be desired. The heavy metal had created abrasions on mine straight out of the box. And the nosecone lights dont secure once you remove the legs so they just slide back and forth freely. Still a great product tho!
@@BotBenderOrinj Hmm.. hopefully they fix those issues for the Fokker VF-1S, which is the one I have on order.
Looks like my KC Veritech is gonna put in the back of the display case soon.
Good to have options! :)
I still own the original Jetfire and I used to own just about every single toy version of the VF-1 series Valkyries, both from Takatoku and Bandai, and I'm impressed at the amount of detail in this toy.
Also, it comes with more stuff than the HCM Bandai versions, which I also owned.
I never owned any of the Arcadia or Yamato ones though.
This is mostly a VF-1S Roy Focker Special (001 on the wing) from the "Macross: Do You Remember Love" movie, as evidenced by the red trim. Roy Focker's Valkyrie in the TV show had yellow trim. Also, the boosters should be black, not red. So yeah, this is a hybrid Roy Focker/Jetfire version.
It's actually Hikaru's VF-1S from DYRL. Fokker's yellow trim was the same in both TV and DYRL. Hikaru's trim was red when he took command and piloted the VF-1S In DYRL.
Sky Fire.
That's also him!
Whoa, so this is a KO of the Arcadia?!?!? The look and name had me think it was the kitzconcept one... I got the KC god of flame a few years back and then an extra when they went on sale, along with the evil jetfire deco. I wasn't a fan of them going with the smaller size of 1/72 because I think that the 1/60 that yamato & arcadia did was also smaller than ideally desired.
I miss the days of various companies OSKOing figs. Wanted a transforming size of the matchbox valk that could fit 3.75" figs, but wouldn't mind a size that could fit M.A.S.K. sized pilots.
NEways, didn't know about this, but just went to showz and bought one (something weird was happening with my bonus points though. The G1-esque box and translucent armor are the unique aspects that push this way over the edge.
Yeah, direct copy of the Arcadia/Yamato VF-1S. Right? Totally looks like the KC one. Yeah, scale is my only gripe. I wish it was 1/48 scale so that it could fit with my mainline collection XD Ah, the transforming Matchbox valk that never came lol. Great that it could hold pilots, but that it was hollow imitation of Takatoku's VF-1J lol. And glad you got your order in. It looks like it's "out out" now after a few stock refreshes.
@BotBenderOrinj there are rumors that the next gijoe/transformers crossover figure will be announced at the next pulse event. Their previous releases of:
-megatron/HISStank/baroness;
-bumblebee/jeep/stalker;
-soundwave/dreadnok thundermachine/zaranna&zartan; and
-kup/tripleT/sgt slaughter&leatherneck
all scaled such that 3.75-inch figs could fit inside the vehicle modes.
...imagine if that series does a jetfire as an upcoming character! 🤩
It seems they were alternating between autobot release & decepticon release, but hey, jetfire initially aligned with starscream/decepticons... so I wouldn't mind if that was a reason they'd push a jetfire/gijoe toy up the queue.
@@lareh5501 that would be nuts! Ive been avoiding that line cuz the TFs look meh (theyre designed by the Joe ppl, so I get it), but a Jetfire release might convert me!
Yamato is out of business. Arcadia is still producing Macross items
Ah got it, thx 4 the insight
This is definitely something I need in my life.
Right?! It's so so good!
I still got my old G1 Jetfire.
No box....
no cool red stuff is left....
Heck, I don't even have the gun LOL
That's still cool tho!
The 1/48 version of the Valkyrie had a removable nosecone with a mini radar assembly underneath.
Ahhhh that's what Im thinking of, thank you. And I recall it being very loose and popping open all the time XD
Sentient
I had the g1 jetfire. And it seems this one is retooled heavily for better articulation and there are more parts here.
Nice nice. This is based of Yamato's 1/60 Macross Valkyrie, hence the extra bits. It's a great modern rendition of G1 Jetfire tho!
I can't believe the level of detail put in. I don't want to open mine now.
It's so nice, right?!
All i see is robotech. I can't help it😂 when i was a 80s kid,
i watch the G1 cartoon and robotech first before get to see the G1 toy.😂
Yup, exactly :)
Wish I knew about this before I dropped $$$ on the kitzconcept God of Flame version!?!?
ROBOTECH!!!
your arm armor is on the wrong arms, thats why you can't mount the gun.
Ah copy that. Thx 4 the insight.
Wish the heatshield was red and they had not painted on the skull insignias to make it more of a Jetfire. It also has the arm armor from the DYRL movie version Valkyries, not the tv series versions.
I was thinking about this, but then I didn't as I already have Valkery Factory VF-1S, and that I have Siege Jetfire, and the Takara Generations Leader Class Jetfire.
That box tho! XD
I've got to have one!
It looks alot smaller than the original G1 Jetfire. In fact it's much smaller!
However..it also looks a whole lot better. And with much more detail!
Yeah, the original Jetfire is 1/55, this is 1/60. So not too far off. It's a very very nice piece :)
Does it feel solid and sturdy, or light and cheap?
OH by the way, the extra parts, one is for a Stand in jet mode., and the others are gap fillers for Robot mode.
Nice nice, thanks. I'll try them on when I get the deluxe version :)
Thanks for the video!!! Is this the same scale as the original Jetfire?
You bet :) it's slightly smaller. Original one is 1/55 while this 1/60
GREAT Video 📹 👍🏾 Bro. This Video Is Taking Me Back To My Childhood. ROBOTECH Is Still In My Top 5 Of Action Adventure Cartoons. And Where Can I Order This TRANSFORMER 🤔?
Thx bud :) yeah, same here! Big Robotech/Macross fan. They were in stock at ShowZ a few days ago. Hopefully they'll do a refresh soon!
@BotBenderOrinj Thank You 😊 🙏🏾.
I just got mine
Robotech
Nice!
$124
Meh
Build one bot bender
☕😀👍
$124!? For a G1 KO!? Ridonkalonkalous...with some hunting, one can find a Siege Jetfire for a little bit less than that.
It's 10000% worth it :)
I have a Yamato 1/48 VF-1A Max and I know that's not the Yamato 1/48 mold. That looks like a bootleg of the 1/60 VF-1S with "jetfire" color scheme but retaining the Macross logos/markings.
Correct, this is based of the Yam/Arc 1/60 VF-1S.
A VF-1 Valkyrie in a different box.
Basically, with a G1 Jetfire Skull Squadron deco
Too bad my G1 Jetfire got lost in moving some houses over a decade ago. Might consider getting this again just so that the box will gather dust on it.
Ah sorry to hear that. Yeah, this is a solid pickup.
I have Roy, Max and Miriya in the Yamato VF-1J Models. Is the same mold as them?
Where can I find this when is it supposed to be released? Tfsource doesn't have it big bad toy store doesn't have it Amazon doesn't have it and Hasbro pulse doesn't have it unless I'm typing in the wrong thing
I dont think TFSource or Bigbad would carry this, as this is essentially a knockoff of the Yamato/Arcadia valkyries from waaay back. Also, considering these folks stole the G1 box design, Hasbro prolly wouldnt be thrilled about the retailers carrying this toy. Hopefully ShowZ has a stock refresh!
Looks like ShowZ is taking deposits, meaning theyre going to produce more soon.
The other accessories are for flight stand.
Killer!
:)
I was around 11 when Transformers first came out and there was a kid who would visit his grandparents on weekends and sometimes in the summer they lived out of my state i forget where . he had a black & Gold cassette that looked like Rumble & Frenzy with gold weapons . his 5 Dinobots where a different color i think they where the original toys before they was made Transformers i only got to see them once . he also had 2 different robots of Jetfire & Skyfire the only things that was different the one toy had a cartoons gun and only 1 antenna on each side of the head
Nice nice. Yeah sounds like your friend had some oldschool JP stuff. Thx 4 sharing :)
@@BotBenderOrinj oops first saw him like a month after the cartoon aired his grandparents end up moving like 4 months before the movie came out he did tell me and my others friends a movie was coming and that the Decepticons where going to get a new leader and that some Transformers where going to die in the movie but he said he didnt know who was going to die . i think his dad had some kind of job with toys he also had a sister who had She-Ra toys like 6 months before they hit the toy shelves .
They misspelled "transforms" on the front. Unfortunate.
That's exactly the same as it was when I was a kid.
Yeah, a really nice repro based off the Yamato valkyrie
6:25, Bot Bender: 'looks at subtitle' o.o
Me: 'snickers' I love this.
9:15, CANNON!
15:36, whatever, dude.
28:00, Gerwalk may look gooky to a lot of people but if done right like this, it looks amazing!
33:11, such a rewarding moment to understand the transformations.
33:26, they...foo-barred as you say. Hehe.
Harmony Gold raging at this point: ua-cam.com/video/sWtLIF_5odI/v-deo.htmlsi=g0BobAZXaStZGvtZ&t=59
37:54, Jetfire: I dunno what you're saying but I'm a scientist. The Kitzconcept thing doesn't seem very scientific to me at all.
40:15, HG: NOOOOOOO...NOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Me: Hehehe, keep crying Harmony Gold.
Thanks for watching the video and leaving such a humorous comment ;)
@@BotBenderOrinj Anything that deals with HG screaming as if they were the worst parts of Vegeta's youth is amazing to me. To us to be specific.
Jetfire needs to do scientific things as well along with Skyfire. I referenced Freddery McMahon's abridged series for Skyfire's dialogue.
He's friggin incredible, so this is legit like a missing link version?? But third party? Its super super nice, got such a nice smooth looking finish. The price is a little high but for what it is it's showing to be worth it 👌 and man where would you be without your little tools to flip flaps and pop panels 😄
It's not legit at all. The company that made it makes knock-offs of Yamato Macross figures, and they just decided to go all in and fully copy the Vintage Transformers box. I just got done transforming mine and let me tell you this thing is a work of art.
@@ckhtiger it's a beautiful machine for sure 👍👍 the box is a bonus
Those weird loose pieces are for the display stand that comes with the deluxe version. Only difference between the 2 sets is the display stand. Great figure though. I’m still waiting for mine to show up. Just a Couple more days
Ah roger that :) Im getting the Deluxe version sent to me as well. Excited to see the stand in action
@@BotBenderOrinj I went back and forth on getting the stand or not. I ended up getting the deluxe because where else are you going to find a stand that good looking
So those legs had die-fast feet in them on some versions and are basically just held together by a bar? Yikes.
Wish I'd seen this earlier, I would have ordered it, but it's sold out now, at least at Showz, It's twice as much elsewhere 😭
Eeeep hope ShowZ can restock it soon!
@@BotBenderOrinj Do they ever restock?
Varitech fighter VF- 1J works just fine..
Im happy to see it, but I'm very bummed it's already sold out. I would have bought it immediately. Thank you for the video. It makes me think to when I was a kid in the 80s. 😢
They restocked. Check the purchase link :)
@BotBenderOrinj OMG ordered! I'm gonna cry when it shows up... when I was about 12? I once got a broken one from a swap meet. It had the parts, but those parts got lost, and I honestly have no idea where he ended up. This is like 30+ years of me wanting this again.
And to keep rambling. I love Transformers, but I'm a gundam guy as a builder/collector. But when this shows up. He's gonna go proudly into the display case with all my Perfect grades. Thank you. I can't say thank you enough.
Dang already sold out on showz 3 days after this video came out.
Eeep, they were getting restocked for the first 48 hrs. Hopefully it returns!
I just stumbled across this vid. Looks amazing. Unfortunately, out of stock. Do you think they will have more?
Wsup bud. Yeah, theyve been refreshing stock pretty regularly. Hopefully it's not "out out". You might see another stock refresh sometime in the evening (China morning).
And great PFP lol. RIP to the Ravishing one!
@BotBenderOrinj thanks! Rude was one of the greats! Hopefully, they do restock. I signed up for their alert.
The colors look like Jack's color scheme from Robotech Battlecry.
Nice nice. I never got to enjoy that game cuz you couldnt reverse the invert and I cant play like that :(
It's Rick Hunter's Macros DyBL VF-1S with colours inverted and nose cone painted red.
those extra pieces are arcadia adapters for the arcadia stands.
Nice, thx 4 the insight
Could have done with a comparison to missing link if your gonna put that in the title, is this guy as big as his original figure?
Ah, I meant missing link between Macross/Robotech and Transformers :) No, he's just shy of the original figure, which was 1/55. This one is 1/60.
You could do the gerealk with Armada sweeps
Nice
Didn't even finish the video..........Order placed
Nice
The irony of an American saying "this English is bad" 😂😂😂
😂
I do want it, but I am a little disappointed by the lack of die-cast parts. Guess you can only ask for so much from a KO.
Yeah, it feels lighter to me. I dont own any more YamArc valks, but I wanna say they felt heftier.
Holy shit it's a missing link Jetfire, next Friday can't come fast enough.
Yeah, craziness! It's so so good :)
Cowabunga dude

What's the name of the company that made this Macross/ Autobot wonder and how much is he and yes it does bring back memories.
The mold that became Jetfire was made by Takatoku Toys for the 1982 anime Macross. After bankruptcy hit them two years later, Bandai purchased the designs and licensed the mold, the VF01S Super Valkyrie, to Hasbro.
This one seems to be from company called FUGU, which might be Valkyrie Factory in disguise. This is a KO of the 1/60 Yamato/Arcadia valkyrie from many moons back.
I hope that we can part together a good knock off from ali!
