sumyumgoy Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Sorry to start a new topic, I hope this is in the right place. My brother and I were trying to identify this toy. We weren't sure if it is Robotech related or even if it is from an anime. I figured someone here might have ran across it before. My brother received it as a gift sometime in the 80's and it came with removable hands. The rear can be removed to reveal a cockpit. It's a pretty sweet figure with nice articulation and detailing as well as some diecast parts and spring loaded projectiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 You're welcome. Dorvack is one of my favorites due to the mechas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I had a few of the kits of those armors back in the day. They were some of my earliest mecha model kits. I never knew they had toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-ZeroOne Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 "Dorvack" is one of the series, along with some little-known anime about giant aliens being defeated by transforming fighter planes and pop music, that "donated" mecha designs to "Transformers" - "Roadbuster" and "Whirl".

sumyumgoy Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 I took a look at some clips online and it definitely looks like it had some great designs. Gotta add it to my backlog watchlist... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
