The answer inside, with HD VIDEO

When I turned 15 years old all those years ago, some friends of the family had bought me for my birthday Revell’s Robotech model kit of Orbot, the USA re-boxed version Imai’s variable VF-1D Valkyrie. Due to many circumstances I was finally able to complete the model kit a week ago, which just happened to be my 34th birthday! This is the saga of one VF-1D, changing modeling skills and one of the greatest Macross model kits series ever.

Giga Phoenix Beast Air Combination is better known in the US as the Stratoforce Megazord. On the surface it seems to be everything I like in a toy, so why don't I like it?

Get Get Gettaa! Gettaa Robo!

Yep it's just more of the same goodness from the 1/60 (2.0) Macross line from Yamato. This time around it is Hikaru Ichijo's VF-1A from the film Macross: Do You Remember Love?

GA-07. The SEVENTH chogokin. 1975. Think about it for a minute. Let it absorb in. This is one of the founding fathers. This is one of the stones in the foundation of Japanese toy history.

We got back to some old-school action with the mecha in the “Hurricanger” line while other facets of the series dazzled us with their quirky ingenuity.

Video review included!

This has been out for about a month now, and while I did get it right away I wanted to make sure to spend some quality time with it before giving you (our readers) the full review. In short, believe the hype. This may very well be the finest “toy” Yamato has made to date. Yes I said toy.

The damaged Getter 1 replicates the final scene in the OVA and Manga, where the Getter Core is ripped out and exposed! This is a limited edition, EXCLUSIVE item from Anime-Export.
