ewilen Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Box: http://www.toyboxdx.com/data/takatoku2/ima...cksystembox.jpg Toy: http://www.toyboxdx.com/data/takatoku2/ima...systeminner.jpg Is this a transformable toy? It looks like the main cannon booms are removable, but it seems to be a better quality toy than either the crappy mini transformable SDF-1 (often found as a bootleg or as a Mark/Select Convertor) or the 1/6300 non-transformable. Referred to at http://www.anime.net/macross/production/mo...united_nations/ as 1/5700 Macross Block-System Trans-FormationDie-cast toy Takatoku 1983 Has anyone ever seen this toy in person?

UN Spacy Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 It definitely has the nicest sculpt when you compare it to all those old Matchbox SDF-1's. I love the amount of diecast on this little sucker, I sure hope Yamato plans on releasing this in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GobotFool Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Isn't this the one that got turned into a convertor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewilen Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 The Takatoku transforming SDF-1, which later was made by Bandai and released by Matchbox, is 1/3000. I think that's the "Big Macross" (i.e., it's a typo in the Compendium). Here's the one that got turned into a convertor: http://www.toyboxdx.com/data/takatoku2/ima...enkeisdfbox.jpg And this is another one, I'm guessing it has more diecast and is nontransformable: http://www.toyboxdx.com/data/takatoku2/ima...crosssdfbox.jpg Maybe it's the "Z Macross" referred to in the Compendium (Z for zinc?).

Hurin Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 To me, the most important thing for a SDF-1 Macross toy is that the arms swivel and bend at the "elbow." As far as I know, only the large Matchbox/Takatoku Macross does that. Are there others? If the elbows don't bend, it just doesn't look right to me.

Wicked Ace Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 That thing looks cool. I'm scared to ask how much those are going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkent Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 what's this???"1/2500 Big Macross Die-cast toy Takatoku 1983 Y5800 "????????????????????????????????????????? the matchbox/taka transforming was 1/5000 so???? I use to have the item some tiem back. It is actually completely plastic, no diecast at all and the scale is 1/5700 if I did not remember wrongly. The quaility of the plastic is quite bad. As for the scrupt, it does look better than the Bandai. And I think its actually a bootleg However, in order to transsform, you have to remove certain parts. Ie no perfect tranformation compared to the bandai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geissler Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I have this item but can only recommend it for those who need to have every Macross item. The large Matchbox/Takatoku SDF-1 is far better. This one is nicer than the small non-transformable Macross, but IIRC it contains no diecast at all. It is barely movable and must be transformed by completely disassembling and reassembling. It has a few parts and you can build some weird combinations. The plastic is ok but looks cheap because of the metallizing. IIRC the ellbows don't swivel. It's not as large as the Matchbox/Takatoku one, but it's not too small either. IMHO it's not worth more than $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
