More fugly Valks: top left, Ohsato large rubber VF1J Battroid; top center, Ohsato small rubber VF1J Battroid; top right, Seika Note small rubber VF1J Battroid; left center, Takatoku large rubber VF1J Battroid; bottom left, Takatoku die-cast VF1S Battroid; center bottom, Takatoku small rubber VF1J Battroid; bottom right, Takatoku large vinyl VF1J.

Do you have a cleaner scan of that, it looks really cool from what I can see in the picture 355875[/snapback] I agree, its an awesome drawing. Looks like it was a pencil sketch for a hanken cel that was never produced. Well, at least I have never seen it produced. Some of the artists on here might want to take a stab at it and make a completed hanken version.

I actually have some of those I'll scan some more ugly Valks in tonight

This is why the Takatoku "variable" Battroid Silver is the fugliest toy. Just so you believe me, I have included the instructions to show that this is how it looks in fighter mode The orange version is made of eraser quality rubber and came in the Takatoku Macross Super Robo Set. Is it any wonder Takatoku went bankrupt? Oh, and Madarake.co.jp has two versions for $100 each!

Okay, here are my Fugliest Macross Toy Ever candidates: Top left, vinyl Takatoku VF1J Armored Battroid; top center, Ohsato rubber VF1J Battroid; top right, Ohsato plastic "Keshigomu" VF1J Battroid; bottom left, Takatoku VF1J "variable" Battroid Silver; and a vinyl Takatoku VF1J Battroid.

I always thought that takatoku vinyl glaug was as ugly as it could get 355298[/snapback] Oh! forgot about that one, yes its super fugly, but you havent seen the Takatoku gold metallic variable Valkyrie in fighter mode I'll bet I'll get some scans (my digi cam is broken) tonight and scans of its retarded rubber half brother thats kept hidden in the basement from the Super Robo Case

Its only about 6 inches tall and only the arms move. There are only 2 fuglier toys. The small Taka vinyl Battroids and the gold and silver Taka metallic "variable" Valkyries

http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/SaleSearc...1&fcl=3&frpp=50 Don't know why your link didnt work out, so I reposted it. Yeah, thats a particularly fugly Takatoku toy. It came in two packages, this one painted in white and then in a double pack, painted in silver, packaged with a die-cast SDF-1. The die cast SDF-1 was also sold seperately. Even though its fugly, I own all 3 versions and they are some of my favorite toys I love this old Taka stuff

347843[/snapback] I really liked Valkyrie Factory, but now thats gone also...

You werent thinking of this were you? eBay Convertor

I've been checking eBay pretty thoroughly. There are some knockoffs that look very close, but those don't come with sticker sheets and the quality is less. Let me know if you can find the auction and I'll take a look at it.

Yeah somebody posts one of those every couple of years. Horrible little thing. I love how the hands can hold pencils I would love to get my hands on the original Takatoku Henkei Type Valkyie toys though. I have never even seen one on eBay still in the box. 346619[/snapback] whats a henkei? I've seen the ugly vinyl toys. are they henkei? 346657[/snapback] Courtesy of Toybox DX

Okay, heres another one WTF is this?

The first pic is not Yune, but a HG artist whose work appeared on the Robotech Perfect Collection video (1995) and the Robotech Perfect Soundtrack Album (1996). Its a nice image IMO.

I could still be of some assistance, how big i pixel dimensions? and what color preference; black,blue,red,green, other? With depth as in the one I posted or flat surface style?, I created it in illustrator and photoshop so I can always resize. 345689[/snapback] Great, I need one which it's just the same as the one on the 1/48 vf-1, black &white, 1000*1000 is it possible?. 345759[/snapback] Skull Logo

I bought all four and I wear the two metal banded watches constantly. Cool watches, especially for $16 for all 4. I feel silly taking a $4 watch to get the battery replaced for $6, but what can you do The plastic banded watches are still in their packages, I don't imagine I'll ever wear those.

Looks like some sort of TV series guide published by Shogakukan. 345474[/snapback] It appears to be Shogakukan's TV Masterpiece series (I'm assuming Shogakukan never had two book series with "TV Masterpiece" in their names ): http://macross.anime.net/production/print/first/index.html (fourth one listed) 345595[/snapback] The fourth listing are the the film comics and I have all those I would guess that the name indicates the last one on the list: The Super Dimension Fortress Macross ’´Žž‹ó—vÂǃ}Æ’NÆ’ÂÆ’X Children's Book Series Two volumes 64509-56 ISBN4-090110256-5 Shougakukan's TV Masterpiece ¬ŠwŠÙ‚̃eÆ’Å’Æ’r–¼Âì Tokyo: Shougakukan 1983 January 20 Y300 (each)
