    I have seen it on Korean websites too.
    They said that this was not tampered with either.

    Wild!  Thank you so much for the pictures!!!

  2. Okay @nightmareB4macross, you were right... it's really cooking in here!  The mythical Joons 1A!  Just incredible.  Since we're on the topic of Joons, just last week I found that the "1996, Patriot" colored Joons leg fin had either blue paint, or left blank.  I had my original from the late 90s that I converted to a 1S, with Jetfire arms and legs, repainted most of the valkyrie to a Max blue.  Fast forward to a month ago... worked on reverting that same Joons back to its original colors and parts, minus the 1J head... which had been traded away over 2 decades ago.

    Here's the back of the leg fin from my originally purchased one late 90s. Blue paint.

    Here's a friend's one from Wisconsin.  Blank.

    Here's a friend's one from Northern California.  Blue paint.

    Seems like the ones with the blue paint on the back of the fin also have the top quarter of the outer leg painted blue originally, then painted over completely with red paint.

    I finally completed the "restoration" of the "converted to Max 1S Joons that I had... he still has a 1S head, inspired by Alex's earlier pictures from this thread.

    Hmmmm, I also found this listing on the web... it was sold in 2017?  Claimed it was not tampered with... could this have been an end of the run, just get rid of left over stock version?

    Just a side note. 
     

    Some company in Taiwan decided to oversize these. Just not sure of exactly when. But all signs currently point to late 80s early 90s. And yes the heads and weapons on these are from Transformers jumpstarters.

    Thank you Shawn... my request is fulfilled!

  6. ahhh... the VF-2SS.

    I've waited so long for this to be released, i shall come out of valkyrie retirement for this piece. I have no complaints whatsoever on the design, price, articulation, etc etc... I have fond memories from when i was younger, watching Macross II and day dreaming of a transformable toy. Just the fact that it's here fills my heart with joy lol!

  7. i love the 1/55 scale valks! ever since i was in kindergarden, i remember this boy brought his jetfire to school and i instantly fell in love with it. it was heavy and the whhels kept hurting my fingers when i released them :p the degree of difficulty to transform it to a robot was pretty significant, especially for a 4-5 year old, and with all the armor lol. my favorite is the 1/55 strike valkyrie. i have 3 :)
