popped up in my suggested vid tonight. I actually sold mine, just to fund for the big 1/48 Armored DX version. And speaking of 1/48 I love how Bandai kept the good transformation stuff from this 1/100 line to its DX variant, but with more details and stuff.
So about the two styles of hands you get: there's two ways to watch Super Dimension Fortress Macross - the anime and the movie (Do You Remember Love?). For the movie, the mechs were slightly redesigned, with the hands being a notable part of that.

masterds64 I couldn't get this because I wasted enough money for my birthday and it's expensive as you mentioned:[. I am not a completionst anyway, but I am disappointed with how adult collector Macross toys by Bandai are executed; I mean Macross have really simple and smart engineering (which is awesome), hence they could have way better transformation and be SOILD! They just made things complicated for no good reason.
Ugly Mofo Predator oh plz gundam has the same quaility and there still around 20-70$ even a transformable ones also even a model kit of macross still goes 50- throu 400$ although zeta in high grade would still cost u around 20-40$
Hi-Metal kits are very rare almost sold out in minutes and also Harmony Gold locked the series up for countries outside Japan so blame them if you find Macross figure expensive..
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macross#Series_chronology Read down to Macross/Super Dimension fictional chronology and just follow the parts that are anime/ova's, so macross 0 is first then regular macross
bandai makes them in 1/72 scale, that's your best bet, otherwise its hasegawa which don't transform and...need glue I think. They look amazing though and all I ever see is painted hasegawa kits
I love things like that! Like 80s movies set in the future and they're still using old CRT monitors on their computers. Such daft, yet awesome juxtaposition.
I mean, it’s more based on an F-14, and the F-15 is still used around the world to this day, it ain’t outdated if America still needs it. But ye the F-14 is way out of date these days.
Bael Hernandez Lol exactly, I felt the same way, I even havent tried transforming my VF-1S into battroid, only to gerwalk and it's such a pain. My problem is that some of the parts are loose and oftenly stuck during transformation.
I do own 3 macross kits and I completely understand that. I heard VF-1 stability was horrible. VF-31 wasn't too bad to transform tho. Because bandai didn't own Macross series so it's a bit on the expensive side.
I built 2 VF-31(J&F) last year and it's pretty solid actually. A lot of locking point on the kit so it's very stable. I bought the VF-25F early this year and I heard a lot of things about that kit and I'm not looking forward to work on it.....
This came in today and I don't like it as much as I though I would (as opposed to the VF-2SS). It also came with horrendous nubmarks. Bandai really needs to improve their QC given the price of the figure.
Kinda wish we got some bigger closed fists for this figure, the transformation hands are so dinky and look completely out of place, especially with the other hand options.
Mecha Plamodel Indonesia Bener tu bang, ane suka bgt DYRL tp dri seluruh seri macross yg utama tinggal yang macross 7 yg blm saya tonton. Based on my experience Macross mecha is actually has a really good design that mixed robot and aircraft (even the VF-1 Valkyrie fighter mode is actually based on real life F-14 Tomcat), but most of the series they dont have good stories. My fav macross series are only SDF, DYRL, and Frontier, the rest are kind of boring. Even Gundam continuous plot between series is even better than Macross. Perhaps, Macross' another advantage is the song that makes it iconic.
I actually bought this thing. Its was super expensive. Its Chinese made as well. It cannot beat a macross that I bought when I was a kid. Its cheap, came with details and unlike this, there is no separate pieces. This thing is just ridiculous.
Good old Valkyrie, still one of the best mecha designs ever produced.
Fun fact for anyone that doesn’t know. In the 80s, transformers used the valkyrie and was used for g1 jet fire. Was an amazing toy.
The insignia on the valkyrie is used by an ace pilot in Macross Delta in case you didn't know, hence the fact that it's called Messer Color Ver.
Macross, one of my all time favorite series of all time
Mandatory screw Harmony Gold
Trevor Ho yeah fuck hg
So I know Harmony Gold is keeping the merch right by the balls, but why?
wade Noble loopholes and bad contract back when HG got the license right.
heard they were losing rights in 2021 but now it seems they renewed and refuse to let go.
cry's in battletech and macross lol
Boy, Jetfire is not going to like this.
RIP Messer Ihlefeld. 😭
*閃光のAXIA plays*
This particular color scheme looks badass, but I don't have $100 to spare so...
GUESS ITS TIME TO START SAVING AMIRITE?!?!
How the hell did this go under my radar?! Damn you youtube!!!!!
Yooooo!! I never knew you made a review of this, this is like my most favorite anime.
Thanks for the toy reviews man! I really enjoy watching em every time.
I can't stop watching this review! This plane is so beautiful!
I remember macross I haven't seen that in some time half jet half mecha 100% awesome love anine
For the jet plane fans, i always fall in love with the Macross jet design. Muaach😘 just beauty

About to sleep but saw your new video sooooo I'm here now :)
This thing is really cool looking, I might just have to start watching marcoss.
You should start watching! Greatest MECHA for me!
The Super Dimension Fortress Macross 36 episodes.
Sounds like fun from the clips I've seen so far. Is there a website where I can buy dvd's or blu-rays?
Don't know of any dvd sellers online. I just watch it on streaming sites.
kissanime.ru/Anime/Macross
US version kisscartoon.es/Cartoon/Robotech
Man I love the Macross Figuresz I just got into the Metal R line and my god. Those beautiful optional super part make them look too amazing TwT
So about the two styles of hands you get: there's two ways to watch Super Dimension Fortress Macross - the anime and the movie (Do You Remember Love?). For the movie, the mechs were slightly redesigned, with the hands being a notable part of that.
Man it's been years since I've watched Macross/Robotech. But seeing this review, makes me want to obtain this bad boy!
I was always wondering... what is your job?
Have i seen you at ScorchedEarthToys
Great video... I always wanted one of these and thanks to your link its going to happen. Really affordable too. Awesome! thanks for the Video!
What scale is this , i want to buy the OWL and Strike parts for it
I was sad that I couldn't get this toy...but now that I see it's fiddly, parts forming and hollow, I'm happy:).
>couldn't get this
h-how, amiami and hlj are sitting on a stockpile unless you mean the other ones based on original macross paint colors?
>fiddly
It may be action figure sized but this isn't something you rip between modes like your retail store transformer, mind you I can transform mine between battroid to fighter in 65 seconds without instructional help but I collect transformers masterpiece figures so I find these far easier
>parts forming
I could use the excuse that its *TINY* but arcadia makes 1/60 scale valks, they also hurt more financially
>hollow
get yourself a dx chogokin of one of the newer valks, they can only go so far with this design, even the larger valks have similar hollowness
One thing I will say, kinda happy for you, this line is expensive and missing a single figure leaves a hole in your heart and an even bigger one in your wallet >_>

why the transformable macross cost a furtone? i find this around 200$ for this small thing
Ugly Mofo Predator oh plz gundam has the same quaility and there still around 20-70$ even a transformable ones also even a model kit of macross still goes 50- throu 400$ although zeta in high grade would still cost u around 20-40$
Ugly Mofo Predator no offense but they only reason why they cost to much is due to how poor rate its getting and the franchise is slowly dying?
Hi-Metal kits are very rare almost sold out in minutes and also Harmony Gold locked the series up for countries outside Japan so blame them if you find Macross figure expensive..
MrCreepjo i can understand now even bandai and revoltech also?
This is the cheapest version, its going for 50 - 60 right now.
Great review brother!!! Looks like an awesome piece...
It looks SICK. MORE Macross and Gundam Review xD
I've always liked the idea of Macross, but I don't know where to start. Which series cones first?
The one that's just called Macross :)
Mr. McMawile Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, then Macross II, Macross Plus, Macross 7, Macross Frontier and Macross Delta
RoyFokker93 My word that was fast! Thanks for the reply!
And you too, Mecha. :)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macross#Series_chronology
Read down to Macross/Super Dimension fictional chronology and just follow the parts that are anime/ova's, so macross 0 is first then regular macross
I've always been waiting for you to review macross series. And i hope there's will be more
Is there an option for the gunpod to be attached underneath the Valkyrie/fighter mode just like in the animation?
Yes
this figure is like a masterpiece transformers figure with a scale of a voyager class..
its scale is closer to an older deluxe but yes, this is near mp-like engineering, not enough to win bandai any awards though
Are there any gunpla style kits of these? I'd love to paint one in G1 Jetfire colours
Bandai did released 2 VF-1 kits tho (Ichijyou unit and Roy unit) But the kit is very flimsy, but they do look cool in different color scheme.
bandai makes them in 1/72 scale, that's your best bet, otherwise its hasegawa which don't transform and...need glue I think.
They look amazing though and all I ever see is painted hasegawa kits
叶川ヒロ thanks for the reply :) I'll do some searching
masterds64 Thanks, I'll have a look at the non transforming ones too
Very cool. Small but very cool
Are bandai making the hi metal R vf-1s on regular black yellow skull colors any time soon?
Funny that this was almost the same mold for the G1Jetfire, but not this one. Jetfire was awesome.
3:03-3:14 repeated clip?
This guy love changeable parts
More than meets the eye...
if the hi-metal dougram is anything to go off of id say this thing is definitely worth the money
Id like to do a pin wash on this but it looks like the thing comes with a satin finish from the factory, am i right?
I love that this sci-fi fighter looks like an F-15, an outdated plane.
I love things like that! Like 80s movies set in the future and they're still using old CRT monitors on their computers. Such daft, yet awesome juxtaposition.
I mean, it’s more based on an F-14, and the F-15 is still used around the world to this day, it ain’t outdated if America still needs it.
But ye the F-14 is way out of date these days.
Late comment from 2 years. But it's actually a Fictional Upgrade of the F-14 Tomcat.
yack deculture!
Wohohoho.. please do more figure or model kits from macross... And you should start to watch the anime... Its very worth watching.. :)
i like this, i like this a lot, macross (robotech actually) was the first anime i ever watched xD
Please more macross VF! :D I want to buy some but I hear the decals are a pain in the ass.
Nice review thanks
RIP 1st Lt. Messer of Delta Squadron
Is this better than Takatoku?
Anyone know the scale of the VF????
Scale? I collect 1/72 exclusively.
Is this VF 1/100 do you know???
you ought to check out a DX Chogokin Valkyrie (any of them), they're fantastic figures
Messer is best waifu, he died for your sins!
Isn’t it just jet fire I have that same one
Do you know the Jetfire/Macross story yet?
I just came from Japan I found this baby in 5,000 yen which I think is a very acceptable price.
the Bandai version was a pain to transform and will break from posing...
Bael Hernandez Lol exactly, I felt the same way, I even havent tried transforming my VF-1S into battroid, only to gerwalk and it's such a pain. My problem is that some of the parts are loose and oftenly stuck during transformation.
You mean the model kit?
Yes the model kit that bandai made with a price almost equal to one Master Grade Gunpla
I do own 3 macross kits and I completely understand that. I heard VF-1 stability was horrible. VF-31 wasn't too bad to transform tho.
Because bandai didn't own Macross series so it's a bit on the expensive side.
I built 2 VF-31(J&F) last year and it's pretty solid actually. A lot of locking point on the kit so it's very stable. I bought the VF-25F early this year and I heard a lot of things about that kit and I'm not looking forward to work on it.....
Looks really good. But I hate the many many parts that have to come off. Or be added. More stuff to lose.
Ogh look G1 Skyfire repaint!
MahriKing14 well g1 skyfire is just a macross figure reused for transformers
A Wasp as well! A Wasp!
Pixel Man hey..... fellow pixel person
Pixel Man same to you Pixel Man Origin
Not even close. Jetfire was 1/55 scale
More macross yes please...
At least the landing gears on this don't kill your fingers like the original ones and jetfire
it actually isn't all that different than those 1/100th ones harmony gold released a few years ago.
Is that skyfire
This came in today and I don't like it as much as I though I would (as opposed to the VF-2SS). It also came with horrendous nubmarks. Bandai really needs to improve their QC given the price of the figure.
Why does it have to be a parts-former, though.
I didn't see any parts-forming here. The parts-forming that did happen were mostly optional.
The real question is: why does that matters?
The transformation is simple only coz it's a simple suit ;) over time as they upgraded their suits, they transformations got complex
that weapon handle system is good for gunpla, i think
5:23 i think u mean _swivel_
LOL when mecha said *both it sounded more like BOAT
There's no size comparison :(
nice looking jetfire hur hur hur
I'm pretty sure it was Starscream that had a Valkyrie as their toy a long time ago.
@@typehere6689 no, it was Jetfire indeed
Guess I was wrong.
it was surrpose to be jetfire but harmony gold is a fucking dick and sue Hasbro for stealing there "rights"
badass!
Macross!!!!!!!
aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA I want one!!
But money...
I need more companies to make more Macross figures/model kits, hopefully for an affordable price
I'd support those actions, for that way, I can get affordable figures of the Unseen.
great!! partsforming toy!! why cant bandai just make it like a transformer without have to partsforming!!
unbox and review more robotech stuff, please!!
that stand, it can be tighten up with screw driver. tighten up the screw of which is loose, wallaaaa fixed.
Can you make valvare the libitor toy review
Has a zeta gundam vive
it looks like a g KNOCKOFF OF JETFIRE
Kinda wish we got some bigger closed fists for this figure, the transformation hands are so dinky and look completely out of place, especially with the other hand options.
LinkedChief It comes with two sets of closed fists.
Its skyfire!
Ooh. A Wasp LAM.
I've never seen a macross.
I've only seen the first one. I've tried Frontier and Delta, but the CG isn't for me.
you should watch Macross: Do You Remember Love, Macross II, Macross Plus, and Macross 7 (if you loved the old style animation).
Mecha Plamodel Indonesia Bener tu bang, ane suka bgt DYRL tp dri seluruh seri macross yg utama tinggal yang macross 7 yg blm saya tonton.

Perhaps, Macross' another advantage is the song that makes it iconic.
try macross plus, there's no cgi as far as i remember...
Its like gundam but good...jk. Its reverse gundam, characters are more important than the robots
macross, valkyrie don't split you know. what's the point, heh.?
I’m getting Transformers vibes.
That's because the original design is of Transformers G1 Jetfire from the 80, just with a recolour.
@@nbmlego28 Wrong. Jetfire copied the VF-1 design from Macross.
VF31?
vf1 painted like messer's vf31
Jet fire twin brother
Sheryl Nome
“Stroke fuel” LOL
Next macross is chogokin Draken III Keith plz. That thing is truly a master piece
wait.....
this isn't Gunpla.....
I AM FC VF VALKYRIE SERIE WHAT EVER 35th OR 100th.
You said matte and metallic is nice 2 times in a row :/
Im hearing nes or atari
MACROSS
Jetfire
:O
I actually bought this thing. Its was super expensive. Its Chinese made as well. It cannot beat a macross that I bought when I was a kid. Its cheap, came with details and unlike this, there is no separate pieces. This thing is just ridiculous.
Sorry you can't beat the original.
All these clowns calling Robotech “macross” and Veritech fighters as “Valkyries”, guardian mode as “Gerwalk”, Lisa as “Misa”. CLOWNS I TELL YOU
What parts forming?! Worst toy ever.. ;p
emgo isn't here to laugh
IKR, what's up with people?
