Korean Knock-Off SD Valk Model kits

[Graham]

Just came across these cheap Korean Knock-off SD Valk model kits in the toy section of the Yata department store in Hong Kong.

First time to see these.

With some proper love and painting skills this would look killer along the Makuros SDF-1, specially that VT-1...sorry, POWER HERO

I agree. Purchase a few and mod them.

I got 2 VF-1A in Singapore local shops near my flat a couple of years ago. Too bad i can't find them anymore. They are cheap! Only 5sgd per pop! And quality is not bad imho, only need a proper paint job. Will share the contents ltr once I knock off from work:)

As promised:

wow, so it can transform via partsforming. so what is the original kit they copied this from?

[flayn80]

@chyll2: My guess will be the Koreans knock-off the kits from the Bandai vintage SD macross kits:) Anyone own the vintage kits can verify it?

[hulagu]

Yep, it's a recast of the old vintage SD plamos, down to the spring loaded action gunpod. Used to have a set of Funny Chinese, Armored VF-1J, VF-1S and Q-Raus, lost to the ages. So wish ?Bandai? would release/remake these like their contemporary SD Gundams

[flayn80]

I wonder if we can hunt them down on ebay or taobao? Not to promote knock-off kits, but Bandai not re-issue them for eons

"Across"! Nice nomenclature change from Gandam or Macres...
