Released during 3 days at the end of the 1985 final production run......came with incorrect Armor, Valk, and box...some claim that a few actually also came with incorrect instructions and decals....get it now!!!! https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h1078653735 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DewPoint Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I suspect it is missing the projectiles and the spring in the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a set exactly like this from I believe Pony Toy Go Round in the late 80s. It was either them or the Robot Store that used to advertise in the Comico Robotech comics (and also sold the Joons 1/55 Space Fighter knock offs). They had a whole stock of Elintseekers but did not mention they came with the Jetfire armor. So this really did happen .

nightmareB4macross Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Finally, I have the elusive Hergoss HS-1S “027 Valkyrie” and “Walkyrie” Pretty damn happy with these. And they go well with my new DX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 What's the story behind those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Produced by Savie Toys in Macau, France. The toy was released in 1987. The mold was a retool with extensive bulking of the VF-1S from Takatoku. On the box a prototype is shown having many parts and stickers from said 1S. Sticker on the legs say UNSPACY and the circular thruster decals are the same type. The manufactured versions of the Hergoss have circles with lightning bolts instead. And the leg stickers say HS ESPACE. There are two boxes released and each has a respective version. We can refer to each as “027 Valkyrie” which has blue paint apps and the other “Walkyrie” with blue paint apps that carry a darker and purplish tone. A catalog exists showing all the Savie Toys released for 1987, promoting a finished sample.

nightmareB4macross Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I believe there is a tie in from the orginally produced MB Jetfire (Macau) and the later origin of the Hergoss (Macau). https://20thcenturytoycollector.com/posts/2013/03/03/european-ultra-magnus-1987/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 We have to figure this out, I like this game. Its a Jetfire head? And it is Mass produced, not a homemade product right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
