Conclusion
I guess if this version were placed along side the more recent offerings of Macross Toys by Yamato and Bandai, the 1/55 would fail miserably in terms of detail and quality. But during its time, in the early 80’s, it was indeed a revolutionary toy. I remember being amazed with the amount of articulation it had and the fact that it was 3 toys in one.
But I owe it to this toy for having given me a lot of Awesome childhood memories that I still carry to this day. 23 years ago sure seems like just yesterday whenever I see this toy.
