In the early 80's a young Shoji Kawamori designed the iconic VF-1A from the Super Dimension Fortress Macross anime and with it made his mark in the anime industry as well as in the hearts of Macross fans young and old alike. The pinnacle of recreation of this iconic mecha for me is that done by Yamato Toys. The Yamato 1/60 Perfect Transformation VF-1A Valkyrie Mass Production Ver. is truly a perfect recreation of Shoji Kawamori's design.
I already did a review of this toy early on that you can view over here. The VF-1A is the common foot soldier of the VF-1 Valkyrie line as depicted in the Macross anime series. It is made distinct by the single laser gun on its head. Aside from the VF-1A, there are also the VF-1J and VF-1S variants of the VF-1 Valkyrie series. The VF-1J is for the squad leaders while the VF-1S is used by the Squadron leaders.
