✨ Why the 1/55 VF-1S is Legendary

• Anime-Accurate Presence: At 1/55 scale, this figure captures the commanding look of Roy Focker’s Skull Leader VF-1S, complete with the bold yellow canopy markings and UN Spacy skull insignia.

• Triple-Conversion Engineering: A hallmark of Kawamori’s design, it flawlessly shifts between Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes, showcasing the mechanical brilliance that would inspire later generations of transforming toys.

• Global Influence: Beyond Macross, this very mold found new life under Harmony Gold’s Robotech line and even influenced Hasbro’s early Transformers (notably Jetfire), cementing its place in global pop culture history

📜 Trivia & Legacy
