terry the lone wolf Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 These were Taiwanese knockoffs of the SDF Macross & the Variable Fighters 01A, 01J, & 01S. They were poorly made & broke 5mins after you take them out the box. These were the toys that introduce me to Macross pre-ROBOTECH. Here's some links: http://www.toyarchive.com/Robotech/st7/sdfj.html http://www.toyarchive.com/Robotech/st7/kovf1j.html http://www.toyarchive.com/Robotech/st7/kovf1a.html http://www.toyarchive.com/Robotech/st7/kovf1s.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Holy crap, I'm glad I got a Joons VF-1J back when I did, when you could still get them easily. These things make me glad I never found them when I was desperate for a VF-1 valkyrie back in the mid-90s (if that's from when those knockoffs are from).

No, I used to collect them back in the mid-eighties(Just when the big robot craze was going on). The Asian & jewelry shops in the Downtown area where I'm from had loads of these. They used to sell them 2 for $5.00 U.S. There were knockoffs for both Lion & Vehicle Voltron too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Hmm, the SDF doesn't look that bad... not perfect, but compared to the Valks it's a work of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I'm pretty sure i had this one as a kid - http://www.toyarchive.com/Robotech/st7/kovf1s.html But i remember mine being much more greyer than that. Maybe mine was a knock off of that haha. A knock off of a knock off. I also had the SDF-1 too. Long gone now, into the abyss of timeeeeeee.................

Golden Arms Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 My brother had the SDF-1 Knockoff and I had the VF-1S one, when were kids. We got them from a drug store in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
