Vintage Macross – VF-1J Battroid Valkyrie 1/55 Scale | Takatoku Toys (1982) – Brand New

Among the most iconic transforming mecha toys ever produced, the VF-1J Battroid Valkyrie 1/55 Scale from The Super Dimension Fortress Macross remains a crown jewel of Takatoku Toys’ legendary 1982 lineup. Known for its revolutionary triple-conversion engineering, this die-cast/plastic masterpiece has endured as both a durable toy and a collector’s showpiece, forever shaping the future of transforming mecha figures.

This example is brand new and unused, preserved in its original packaging with styrofoam insert, gun pod, and missiles intact. Though it does not include the stickers or catalogue, its condition is untouched—an exceedingly rare opportunity for collectors seeking a pristine VF-1J direct from the dawn of anime toy history.

✨ Why the VF-1J 1/55 Is Legendary

• Hikaru Ichijyo’s Iconic Valkyrie: Piloted by the series protagonist, the VF-1J with its distinct red-trim markings became one of the most recognizable hero mecha in anime history.

• Die-Cast Strength & Playability: Nicknamed the “Chunky Monkey,” this line is beloved for its ability to transform repeatedly without wear, a true testament to Takatoku’s engineering.

• Triple-Conversion Accuracy: Transforms seamlessly between Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes, faithfully bringing Shoji Kawamori’s anime designs into physical form.

• Global Legacy: The very mold that introduced fans to transformable realism in mecha toys would later inspire Harmony Gold’s Robotech and even Hasbro’s Transformers Jetfire, cementing its global influence.

📜 Trivia & Legacy

• The 1/55 VF-1J was one of the flagship releases of the Takatoku line, alongside the VF-1S, and continues to fetch respect among vintage toy collectors worldwide.

• Takatoku’s bankruptcy in 1984 led to Bandai acquiring the molds, ensuring that the VF-1 would live on in reissues—but the original Takatoku versions remain the most prized.

• With its anime hero association, the VF-1J is often considered a centerpiece for any Macross or vintage mecha collection.
