1983 Takatoku Macross SDF-1 – Vintage Transforming Space Fortress Review

This vintage toy is often overshadowed by the Takatoku 1/55 Valkyrie figure that became Transformers Jetfire, but it has a lot of appeal in its own right, so I wanted to give it a chance to shine in its own review. You can watch my comprehensive review of the 1/55 Valkyrie line here (   • The Vintage Macross 1/55 Valkyrie Toy Line...  ) and a showcase of footage from that review here (   • Vintage Macross 1/55 Valkyries - Bonus Foo...  ).
