I suspect it is missing the projectiles and the spring in the gun.

Holy crap, that’s way up there!

I bought a set exactly like this from I believe  Pony Toy Go Round in the late 80s.  It was either them or the Robot Store that used to advertise in the Comico Robotech comics (and also sold the Joons 1/55 Space Fighter knock offs).  They had a whole stock of Elintseekers but did not mention they came with the Jetfire armor.

So this really did happen .

Finally, I have the elusive Hergoss HS-1S “027 Valkyrie” and “Walkyrie”

Pretty damn happy with these.

And they go well with my new DX.

What's the story behind those?

[nightmareB4macross]

Produced by Savie Toys in Macau, France. The toy was released in 1987. The mold was a retool with extensive bulking of the VF-1S from Takatoku. On the box a prototype is shown having many parts and stickers from said 1S.

Sticker on the legs say UNSPACY and the circular thruster decals are the same type. The manufactured versions of the Hergoss have circles with lightning bolts instead. And the leg stickers say HS ESPACE.

There are two boxes released and each has a respective version. We can refer to each as “027 Valkyrie” which has blue paint apps and the other “Walkyrie” with blue paint apps that carry a darker and purplish tone.

A catalog exists showing all the Savie Toys released for 1987, promoting a finished sample.

I believe there is a tie in from the orginally produced MB Jetfire (Macau) and the later origin of the Hergoss (Macau).

We have to figure this out, I like this game.
Its a Jetfire head? And it is Mass produced, not a homemade product right?

[nightmareB4macross]

1. Yes. From a Jetfire mold.

2. Yes. Not homemade.

[Shawn]

Ok...how about

International or domestic US release?

(asked since you posted the Savie variant of the VF-1)

[nightmareB4macross]

International. Just not sure how many markets it was sold in. 

[nightmareB4macross]

Also came in red.

[Shawn]

The mystery continues....interesting!

So not the Joons...as I recall those were VF-1Js
An international Jetfire release.

One more question Europe or Asia?
 

[nightmareB4macross]

Asia.

Another hint.

[Shawn]

uhmm...WHAT!? Is that some sort of constructicon thingy?
ok game on, gotta find it

[Shawn]

ok...some Devastator? variant....still looking!

[nightmareB4macross]

Game on for sure.

[Gabe Q]

So cool! But I'm not knowledgeable enough to play. 

[Shawn]

Closer...got the make I think, stickers match
I think it is some sort of Devastator Variant...but it also comes in RED head?
come on google image search...do your magic

[nightmareB4macross]

A maybe this would help.

[Shawn]

That does help...it means it isn't a carded figure, but comes in a box with styro!

[nightmareB4macross]

Crazy thing though. 

Released in 1985. 

[Shawn]

I'm tapping out...but others may still be trying!
There are a LOT of transformers toys out there OMG

[Shawn]

I think it is a diaclone bootleg somewhere....

[nightmareB4macross]

You’re getting warmer. At least color wise.
