The copyright date of 1984 refers to the creation of Bandai's mold for the toys. We can tell that yours is the 1990 release because the head sculpt is completely unique to that one release.

What you seem to have there is the 1990 Bandai release of the VF-1S Super Valkyrie package. Check out Jenius's overview of that release and package contents here.

Notice that the elbow joint weirdness returns on the box artwork for the weathered version, showing the articulated lower bicep that doesn't exist on the actual toy.

Sounds like it's probably somewhere between 1/48 and 1/43 scale, but I don't know how long a Spinner is and can't really be bothered to look it up. Neat looking model though anyway!- 16 replies

Typically 'no box' on AliExpress means just that - the toy would be shipped in bags in a much smaller box or heavily bubblewrapped mailer. It's a move to reduce shipping cost.

That really is a crazy mashup, but I don't totally hate it. Like the VF-17 on the last page, there's some charm in that sort of thing. The 1/55 illustration on the box and Spacy markings definitely fall into that 'huh?' category, but I think that they should go further and put, like, Amuro Ray on the box or something too. Screwcaps probably won't be included, as the Valkyrie Factory ones didn't have them either.

It's Space Gandam VI ! HG is really going for saturation these days, that's for sure.

Looks like bad video game art to me. Pass.

In at least one of the videos that showed excessively gappy side covers, the reviewer didn't seem to have the swingbar armature properly connected to the hip sockets or backplate, so the backplate wasn't fit as closely to the cockpit fuselage as it should have been. It's possible to make the same transformation error on both the Yamarcadia and DX valks, so it seemed like a pretty cut and dried case of mistransformation.

Have you been able to have a look at the elbows? The suspense is killing me.
-
I'm not sure about officiality/provenance, but this one shared by Chronocidal shows what we're talking about. Elbows.
-
What the peanut gallery (me included!) would like to know is whether the part I've highlighted in pink articulates, or whether it's fixed to the forearm armor. It looks like it should pivot in the forearm at the same mounting point as the skinny elbow piece, to 'bulk up' the appearance of the elbow joint. The earlier prototype photos shared on the last page all showed that part rotated out parallel with the skinny elbow piece, but none of the user images of the actual toy show it deployed.
