KiriK Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I've had these Takatoku paro valkyries for awhile now and always thought they were a bit strange because they have 1S heads on 1J body types. Has anyone ever seen these before? Here's some comparison pics to the Toynami morphers but i always wondered if these were unique or if they were common to have 1S heads on all the types. I'm selling a lot that includes these HERE But yea... always wanted to know more about these.... any info from anyone?? Quote
KiriK Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 Here's a pic of a 1J paro valk from the main macross site... Quote
KiriK Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 Jenius Posted a better picture of the regular paro valks in my auction thread... um, you sure those are takatoku valks? They look like them to be sure but they all have 1S heads?? Quote
big F Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Interesting they are tiny compared to the ones I have. Quote

Has anyone ever seen these before? Here's some comparison pics to the Toynami morphers but i always wondered if these were unique or if they were common to have 1S heads on all the types. Interesting, I've never seen or heard about these two. My guess would be that Takatoku ran out of Paro 1J heads and decided to use extra 1S heads. Or, some factory worker(s) didn't know any better and painted Roy's 1S in Hikaru and Max color schemes. Either way, cool find! Quote
jenius Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 my guess is that these were made after Takatoku closed by Matsuhiro or another company. Quote
glane21 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 The Paro's with the 1S head were all released in the US on blister cards as Convertors by the Select toy company during the 80's robot craze. That's where the ones you have came from. I have 2 of the red Millia style with the 1S head. Select only put out the 1S head version, but with the 1J color schemes. Do a web search for Select Convertors and you will probably come across carded pics of them on a couple fan sites. Quote
do not disturb Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 i had one of these a couple of years ago. a member here gave it to me just to be a nice guy, then after i enjoyed it, i passed it down to another MW'er. they're not great by any means but nothing beats free. Quote
