TheVulcan Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 There was a VF-1 model I wanted 20+ years ago but never got it. (to expenise for mum to buy) All that I can remember, think I remember, is that it was about a foot tall. May have been dicast but not sure. The only real distinguishing thing I can remember about it was its shoulder joints. The shoulder joints had clear windows and you could see little gears inside them. I look for this thing every couple of years and try to find a picture showing the shoulder joints so I can identfy the model. Just Googled again with out luck. Figured there might be an expert around here that knows what I am talking about. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vt102 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Sounds like your talking about a 1/55 scale valkyrie. Shoulders are not clear, but you can see the ratchet feature of the shoulder... and is part diecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVulcan Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 I just tried googling "1/55 scale valkyrie" and looking for the shoudlers with out luck. You sound like you know the one I am talking about. Any other clues that might help me find one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 The only "toy" I know of with "see-through" details were made by Ohsato toys. However, they were only a few inches tall not a foot tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdwfx2000 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 you know, size-wise and roughly time-wise this sounds kind of like one of those 1/60 gundam perfect grade kits with those clear add on parts. the second set had clear shoulder bits. here's a link to a picture of the boxes: http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/4/0/3/6/3/6/webimg/602447434_o.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Clear parts = the factory has some clear plastic in the corner it needs to use up. hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVulcan Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Thanks for all the replys. I have checked all the links but still cant see the one I am looing for. The ones with the clear plastic parts wasnt it. Best I can remember it was only right on the shoulder joints that had the clear plastic window to see, i think it was 3 small gears. Maybe I should give up. I could just buy anything thats a foot tall and stick it in a display case. But that wont fill the hole I still feel after missing out on it 20 years ago.

GXPT2000 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Could it be a KO toy? Maybe it was a 1/55 with clear parts... Anyone know what the shoulders innards look on the 1/55? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Maybe it was a knockoff jetfire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 In the last 26 years, I've owned examples of pretty much every VF-1 toy line made (except Toynami) and I've never seen or heard of a VF-1 with see through windows on the shoulders.

Murphy Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I was randomly looking for vf-1s images when i came across this, it looks bootleg but i dont know. Scroll down its in the 2nd, 3rd pic, and a larger pic is the 8th and 9th. http://www.skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1957 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVulcan Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 http://s3.hubimg.com/u/275490_f520.jpg Thats just a random picture. Its like that (red stripes) but the little Black sticker on the shoulder with little Yellow dimond was a clear window to see gears. I had other little VF-1 toys at the time. But this thing blew them all away for detail. I doubt that being in Australia would have made much difference at the time in relation to it being boot leg. .
