🛡️ About the VF-1S Valkyrie

The VF-1 Valkyrie, designed by Shoji Kawamori, quickly became one of the most iconic mecha of the 1980s. The VF-1S Skull Leader, famously piloted by Roy Focker in Macross (known internationally through Robotech), stood out with its commanding yellow-striped canopy and skull insignia. Its ability to shift between Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes embodied the perfect union of sci-fi imagination and engineering brilliance.

📜 Trivia & Legacy

• Takatoku Origins: Takatoku Toys pioneered the Valkyrie molds with this line, releasing multiple scales (1/55, 1/100, 1/144). While their 1/55 “Chunky Monkey” is legendary, the 1/100 series is celebrated for its balance of size, affordability, and playability.

• Bankruptcy & Bandai Takeover: Despite the success of Macross, Takatoku struggled financially and declared bankruptcy in 1984. Their molds—including the VF-1 Valkyrie—were later acquired by Bandai, ensuring the Valkyrie’s legacy continued in global markets.

• Robotech Connection: Outside Japan, this very Valkyrie mold helped shape the international Robotech line, cementing its place in Western toy and anime history.

• Collector’s Grail: Unused and complete examples like this are exceptionally rare, as most surviving pieces from the early 1980s show playwear or missing stickers.
