Does your old man really watches robotech? or he just collects the valkyries because it is a cool toy?

[rwalters6986]

He collects a lot of the stuff that i think is cool haha so to answer your question..no he doesn't watch Robotech, but he does appreciate cool toys and this is definitely a cool toy!

awsome Ryan !! robotech was the stuff it wasnt easy to get either nice toy bro also good news about your voltron you got for free you bugga ! cheers mike

[rwalters6986]

Thanks Mike! These guys are pretty affordable and i would highly recommend getting one ;) My boss at work who gave me the Voltron figure says that he has the blazing sword and his shield at home but didnt know that they went to the Voltron figure haha so he'll bring them in for me hopefully so i can do a review of a complete figure!

Kick Ass Video!!!! Cool watch! what is the difference between Jetfire and Robotech?? I never saw a robotech fighter in transformers!

[rwalters6986]

Jetfire was originally a robotech VF-1S...hasbro took the mold from bandai and used it to make the original G1 Jetfire! Im currently trying to buy a VF-1S so i can do a review on it to show everyone...thx for watching, Ryan

Hikaru Ichijio or however you spell it, is the original Japaneese version of Rick Hunter.

[AbraxasGrey]

awesome bro! real sweet toy!

[gungriffen]

Isn't the packaging wrong? To my understanding Skull Leader Veritech were always VF-1S Valkyries. VF-1A were standard VF-1J were issued for Ace Pilots, and VF-1S's were for Skull Squadron and Squadron leaders.... or maybe i'm mistaken......

[GRMGR1]

It hurt me to watch you transform that thing. I kept wanting to reach in and help you. I remember changing jetfire like it was yesterday, could do it in the dark.

[Fgundam]

the proper way to do it should be to make it into gear walker mode first before going to robot mod so that it would be easier to do but oh well each to their own ways

[rleary1]

'Because I'm a cheap Bastard... some would say economical' LOL Love your reviews! I've been wanting to get a VF-1S Roy but that Focker is way to Expensive!

[katanaburner]

You didn't really hack up the name Hikaru but I busted out laughing when you said Roy Focker. It's pronounced like Fo ker. Good vid! And FYI this re-creation is recreated from the original Macross toy, Valkryrie Strike back in the 80's!

[OpTic3liJK]

Ummm, Not robotech but macross

[mtktm]

the tail section folds upwards in robot mode, and the wing can fold further to touch each other.

[danny5o8]

i actually have jetfire. i got it when i was like 13 because it was just like rick hunters veritech and robotech things were hard to find back then

[sancombru]

2 things: Hikaru is the japanese name of Rick Hunter in the series Macross. It was changed 2 Rick in Robotech. The other thing is he 4got 2 fold the tailfin part upward.

[RAPTOR948]

it does help if you have the head facing where it will look forward, and you point the cannon forward, but you gotta have the cannon facing forward and folding the back and front in such a way the head has plenty of room to go through.

I like the veritechs and you did prove you arent a diehard robotech fan.

robotech is an anime, not a cartoon, quite different form of anime, also, robotech is a property of tatsunoko if memory is correct.
