  1. Cool, yes, it was all about the visual work. -The essence of the toy.....
  2. "Foremost, comparing Takatoku toys to Jetfire is rather irksome to some Macross fans since Takatoku toys came years before. I understand that it helps American fans by providing a frame of reference for the toy, but maybe a better approach would be to "compare Jetfire to Takatoku toys" if that makes sense. (Basically they came first and Jetfire is really the red-headed stepchild of Takatoku toys) " Picky LOL Since Youtube is U.S. based, I found that many viewers just don't know Japanese toy anthology. So yes, but I chose to "wake up" those who know Jetfire and nothing else. "It's "Battroid", not "Battlroid". "Battloid" is from Robotech " Cool. Learn something every day. "Never heard it called "Blue Max" since Max always has a blue paint scheme. "Max VF1J" is what its normally referred to as." I heard this ages ago due to the with an homage to WWII. It was also used for old school collectors. Go figure, yes it's redundant "All Takatoku 1/55 Valkyries have that same tip so its not "sharper than average", its exactly the same. I'm guessing you mean "sharper than the Jetfire toy"?" Yes, this is from an American perspective. The "average" Valk was the Jetfire with the rounded tip. "Actually not Takatoku's artists. That art was supplied by Studio Nue/Artland. Most of that art was by Toshimitsu Suzuki, who worked for Artmic/Artland. Studio Nue was responsible for planning Macross." Cool...I don't know if I totally agree. So if Takatoku paid to use the art/subcontract work, who owns that box drawing/artists for the work? I would love to add in credits if post-Youtube loading could be edited "Millia Jenius. Max's alien wife. Pretty much of as much importance as the Max character himself and who also received her own red VF1J in the same toy line." Yes, I went brain dead there. LOL I wish I could re-edit the Vid there.
  3. Did anyone else notice the shipping price of approx $50 by EMS only!! OUCH.
  4. LOL Yes, unfortunately I have kept my toys long enough to be pretty anal about this schtuff. Like with guns and knives, finger prints will tarnish the diecast. This toy, of course, doesn't need it as much as that crappy silver and gold plating on some newer toys. Ed
  5. Be sure to click on the "View in HD" link that shows up right and just below the images.
  6. Hi Gang, I've been lurking for ages and thought you would enjoy this video of the Blue Max from Takatoku. I couldn't find another on Youtube and thought it was long past due. Enjoy in HD: Hope you like the work. I might do other vintage gems if feedback is positive Ed
  7. Freakin' impressive dude! Are you collecting duplicates because there are variations, or are they trade fodder? Ed Robot-Japan.com

    -Thought you guys would enjoy some fresh pictures of the VE-01 Elintseeker. http://www.robot-japan.com/Pages3/Elintseeker-valkyrie.htm As I searched your older threads, I got a kick out of EL = Electronic and INT= Intelligence. Cool. Ed Robot-Japan.com

  11. wow, you had me going on the jetfire! What scale is it ?? Ed Robot-Japan.com
  12. I've found that the fan products have saturated the market and made the franchise loose some luster. Yamato is issuing so much the eyes water. (but that's a good thing too) In fact I was shocked to see an armored super valk by Takatoku sell for only $220. Toy support ($) is down, but I agree that fans are probably hybernating. We want new shows Ed Robot-Japan.com
