VF1S free in a kiddie meal toy

[JET7]

just wanna share this to the macross community..

im from manila, a local food chain recently released this ROBOTECH Toy line as a freebie when you buy a meal..

its licensed from toynami.. but im pretty sure that some of the mold was taken from revoltech..

anyway, i hope you like my mod on the bare to ..you be the judge

left is the stock toy, right is my mod..

its the least i can do to the toy.. i do hope i have given it enough justice for the macross dyrl fans

thanks for looking

[ChristopherB]

Wow, thanks for posting the pictures.

I'm a kano living outside of Manila in Olongapo/Subic.

What's the name of the fast food chain? Hopefully it's not Chow King, as I can't stand the food there. Ha, ha

Maybe we could have a PI MW Convention at some point.

jollibee sir

[m0n5t3r]

ayos! have to check out the local Jollibee store to see that for myself...

[fifbeat]

These are great! Nothing like some pancit and macross! =) Much better than the usual Jeepnie toy.

I don't live in the Philippines, but we do have a Jollibee here (In Vegas)....

[fifbeat]

BTW, do you have a picture of the packaging? Like, does it actually say MACROSS on it?

[Vostok 7]

Looks like it's based more on the Toynami SuperUNposables from many years ago more than the Revoltech Valkyries.

[JET7]

Nice. Thank you.

Obviously modeled after Toynami's Superposeable line.

[JET7]

maybe then with a mix of revoltech.. the head is exactly the same and the hands too..

Well Chow King isn't Jollibee but Jollibee Foods Corporation does own Chow King. They also own Greenwich, Red Ribbon, Delifrance etc.

I may buy some after my hospital appointment.

Might as well share my Max unit:

Cool! I miss seeing cheapy stuff like this.

Why did this get moved to the "Other" forum? They're Macross/Robotech toys.

[Wanzerfan]

Thank goodness we don't have any of those restraunts here in Texas. The freaking things can't even transform right.

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

Toynami has officially cheapened out. George Sohn is obviously out for money now and I don't see him attempting another Masterpiece (or whatever worth buying) ever again.

[Vostok 7]

The hands are the same as the Superposable, actually.

because you have the worst toy ever in the resturant... Burger King!

[glane21]

How crazy that 20 years later, with no current tv series, Robotech makes it as a kid's meal toy. Incidentally, there was also a kid's meal Voltron toy in , I think, Australia and/or the Philippines that is scaled down Toynami Masterpiece. May be from the same food franchise since they seem to have a Toynami relationship going.

[Knight26]

crazy as this sounds I want a set

[David Hingtgen]

Why did this get moved to the "Other" forum? They're Macross/Robotech toys.

Because they're Robotech toys. Packaging says "Robotech Veritech Guardian". That's about as non-Macross as it gets. http://cybertronphils.proboards.com/index....0195&page=1

[m0n5t3r]

HAHA! Fighter mode M&Ms w/ wheelbarrow front landing gears! awesome!

[bigkid24]

If I lived there I'd get those. Better than most kid's meal toys in the US nowadays.

[areaseven]

Looking at some of the pics above, they have a holographic sticker that says EIMC Empire. After doing a Yahoo! search, I found Empire International Merchandising Corporation, a company that licenses major brands and franchises for merchandising in Asia. Here's their RT page.

Better get that Toynami Regult thread out of the toy forum then.

i was also wondrin why is it move in the anime category..

[areaseven]

I was also wondering why it was moved in the anime category.

It was moved because it focuses on Robotech toys, and the Toys section is strictly for Macross stuff only.

[RedWolf]

Just bought them.

Looking at it closely as usual as with kiddie toys it is Made in China.

Roy Battroid

Exclusively of Jollibee Food Corp

Made in China

at the lest leg of the Roy Battroid. I didn't inspect mine closely it is missing the gunpod. It is a brick as it can only swivel shoulder-arm and hip-leg connections. Strike Pack barrels can swivel.

Millia Fighter

It rolls and swivels its wings. Its strike pack is different from the Battroid. On the right wing reads Harmony Gold USA Inc. On the left wing same as above. Exclusively of Jollibee Food Corp Made in China.

Max Gerwalk

Like the Millia Fighter it can swivel its wings. Half of its pack is identical to the Milia one. The other half well is an annoying missile launcher. Another annoying thing is the piece below the nose cone. Gerwalk can only swivel its legs and is armless. The lettering under the wings is the same as above.

A little bit of local toy history. The last time there was a toy promotion with Gerwalks and Battroids was tiny plastic model toys included with Enervon C syrup vitamins in 1989 or 1990. Shocker is it did not run under the Macross or Robotech brands but promoted as Battletech. The ones I had as a kid were the Tomahawk/Warhammer and Land Air Mech Gerwalk with arms and a Battroid mode.

Vitamins, huh? What a weird place for Battletech unseens to show up.

Yes, like this toy:

Oh, these are too much fun! My kids and a couple of their friends would absolutely love them (and so would I, for that matter)! Too bad the chain isn't in the northeast US.

[grss1982]

Jollibee, right?
