hey guys- 1st post; total noob status with macross figures
second of all I'd like to say I did search the TOYS FAQ pinned thread, and still could not find an answer
long story short:
- I purchased a "1/60 Yamato Robotech VF-1S Valkyrie Macross Roy Focker 'Do You Remember Love'" figure on eBay
- when I received it yesterday, I immediately noticed that it doesn't appear consistent with any products that I've seen online
- most notable in the transformation methods
- no hinge for the legs
- need to remove the legs in order to do any of the transformations
- this is in the instructions too
- there are holes in the nose cone section to insert the legs joints
- the cockpit is removeable; need to swap out the cockpit for the black face (skull) cover in order for the top piece to slide down properly
- the cockpit attachment has no figure within; just an empty seat
I dont want to accuse the seller for selling me a bootleg; seems like an honest guy and has a lot of positive feedback selling macross items
is it possible I purchased an older edition of this toy? looking around this forums Im seeing a lot of references of "version 2". is iti possible this is an older edition of the Yamato VF-1S?
thanks in advance guys.
