Always thought it was "inspired" from this emblem....

Thank you for your responses! I am trying to find out if anyone during 1984-1987 could recall seeing a very unusual, probably "one of a kind" Takatoku Macross toy in one of the stores selling Japanese toys in Lima, Peru. This toy was not a toy that was released for sale to anyone, it would have been a store display or perhaps a promotional item. If you had seen this, you would know it was not a regular Takatoku toy that anyone could have bought. Because I have only been told about this alleged toy by one person, I do not want to say what it is, in hopes that someone else can identify the same toy to me...which would help make it more possible for it to be true. For now, it may just be a case of someone thinking they saw it, a cloudy childhood memory! Gracias por sus respuestas! Estoy tratando de averiguar si alguien durante 1984-1987 recordaba haber visto una, probablemente juguete Takatoku Macross muy inusual "único en su clase" en una de las tiendas de venta de juguetes japoneses en Lima, Perú. Este juguete no era un juguete que fue lanzado a la venta a cualquier persona, que habría sido una exhibición de la tienda o tal vez un artículo promocional. Si usted hubiera visto esto, usted sabría que no era un juguete regulares Takatoku que cualquiera podría haber comprado. Porque sólo se han dicho sobre este presunto juguete por una sola persona, no quiero decir lo que es, con la esperanza de que alguien más puede identificar el mismo juguete para mí ... lo que ayudaría a que sea más posible para que sea cierto. Por ahora, sólo puede ser un caso de alguien que piensa que lo vieron, un recuerdo de infancia nublado!

Any Bullmark, Gatchaman, or sofubi collectors out there? Need a value for this little dude.... Finally found another to compare mine with... https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1032683729&ref=list 15,000 JPY..... So probably means Mandarake would give me 20 bucks for mine!

Here is the VF-1J from the Yamakatsu prints....#S-1

congrats

Yeah...its nice...has diecast legs I think...actually, not much into Mospeada and can't recall where, when or why I got it....Been getting rid of anything non-Macross....that one thought it could stay hidden!

Not really...but kind of....

Are there any fans here who were living in, close to, traveled to Lima, Peru around 1984-1987? If so, were there any Japanese toy shops in Lima's "chinatown" during this time? I am trying to get more first-hand accounts about a certain Takatoku toy that may be either real or just "childhood fantasy"... If anyone recalls Japanese toy stores from Lima, Peru and more importantly remembers this special Takatoku toy (if you do then you will know what I am referring to, there would be no way to miss it)....please PM me with what you remember about this specific toy....Spanish or English PM is OK! ¿Hay aficionados de aquí que vivían en, cerca, viajaron a Lima, Perú alrededor de 1984-1987? Si es así, ¿hubo tiendas de juguetes japoneses en "Chinatown" de Lima durante este tiempo? Estoy tratando de conseguir más información de primera mano acerca de un determinado juguete Takatoku que puede ser real o sólo "fantasía de la infancia" ...: rolleyes: Si alguien recuerda las tiendas de juguetes japoneses de Lima, Perú, y más importante aún recuerda este juguete especial Takatoku (si lo hace entonces usted sabrá a qué me estoy refiriendo, no habría manera de perder) .... me PM por favor con lo recuerda de este juguete específico .... Español o Inglés PM es aceptable!

There hasn't been one Arcadia release were they did not decide to "tinker" with the colors, hues, etc.....sure Yamato had it's QC issues, but their color choices were for the most part spot on, or at minimum, not so obviously wrong....

Yep...and keep the missile doors closed too!

The pilot looks painted in DYRL style...VF-1J was under the armor in the movie....with that said....missile tips should be yellow... ***edit OK...looking at it on a bigger screen now...yeah...DYRL helmet painted in TV style...but body painted to look DYRL with the yellow shoulder pads???.... They should have just went all-out DYRL and painted the missile tips yellow and be done with it.... This just means they will still not bother with the doing proper TV style Max and Millia -1Js...TV pilots, armor, etc.....no biggie I guess...I'm more interested in the Regults and Destroids anyways!

VF-0 was designed 20 years after the VF-1?

If that is the case....and since you have to swap the missile bits....it would have been better to have supplied yellow-tipped missiles instead of the "empty" missile bay bits....those seem to me a waste of plastic....

Has not been released....not sure if it will

Going through some boxes and found this little guy hiding among my Macross stuff.....

Found another one....

Poster-ish.... Destroid Monster clear celluloid print....#S-4 (I think there were 4 total made)...by Yamakatsu (Toys, Fancy Goods, and Models ) Others include a VF-1J, Tomahawk, and Defender....anyone know if there were more than 4? KWR???

Those prototype colors are reminiscent of the VF-0 armor colors....hint?

Can't be unseen now...

Don't forget...at least Arcadia will provide you with a pic of what the GBP-1J should look like on the box!....

Yeah...posted a pic in the Arcadia GBP thread.... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41447&p=1194352

Macross II Banpresto Arcade poster - B1 size

So is this a DYRL version?....If so, shouldn't the missle tips be yellow? Top pic may be boxart?
