Orguss-Orgroid 1/40 Mint New, Super Dimension Century Orguss Vintage Toy by Takatoku Toys 1982
Vintage Orguss Orgroid – 1/40 Scale Diecast by Takatoku Toys (1983) | Brand New, Complete with Unused Stickers, Manual & Catalogue
Step into the golden age of mecha collecting with this original 1/40 scale Orguss Orgroid by Takatoku Toys, released in 1983 at the height of Japan’s transforming robot boom. Famous for their pioneering engineering on the Macross Valkyries, Takatoku followed up the massive success of Super Dimension Fortress Macross with another bold anime-mecha venture: Super Dimension Century Orguss.
The Orguss anime, produced by Big West and Tatsunoko in 1983, shared staff, design lineage, and even a narrative connection to the Macross universe. In fact, Orguss was envisioned as the thematic sequel to Macross within the “Super Dimension” trilogy (Macross, Orguss, Southern Cross). The titular Orguss Orgroid was piloted by Kei Katsuragi, a brash fighter pilot whose reckless decision in a dimensional war triggered the collapse of space-time itself, leading to the chaos of the Orguss world.
This Takatoku diecast figure captures that bold mecha design in true 1980s glory. Like the Valkyries before it, the Orgroid boasts complex triple-conversion engineering, transforming across four distinct modes:
-
Orguss Orgroid (Humanoid Mode)
-
Orguss Flyer (Jet Mode)
-
Orguss Gerwalk (Intermediate Mode)
-
Orguss Tank (Heavy Ground Mode)

Historical Importance
While Orguss never reached the same global fame as Macross (outside of its adaptation into Robotech: The Masters in the US), the toys remain a cornerstone of early transforming mecha history. The Orgroid stands as a testament to Takatoku’s bold innovation—a line that tragically marked the company’s swan song before their bankruptcy in 1984, after which Bandai took over the Macross molds.
Today, surviving specimens of the Orguss Orgroid 1/40 Takatoku release are increasingly rare, particularly in brand new, complete condition with stickers, catalogue, and manual untouched. It is a must-have for Macross, Orguss, and vintage mecha enthusiasts alike, bridging one of the most important eras in anime toy history.
