Robotech 30th Anniversary VF-1A Max Sterlings Veritech Fighter

under Random Photo Shoot, Robotech Toy News

His modest and unassuming personality belies Max Sterling’s deadly prowess as the SDF-1’s most renowned Veritech pilot. Certified as an ace following his first battle, Max’s skills earned him quick distinction among both his fellow RDF pilots and their Zentraedi adversaries.

Celebrating Robotech’s 30th Anniversary, Toynami has released Series 1 of the fully transformable Veritech action figures. Standing at 6 inches tall they can be converted into Fighter mode, Battloid mode, or Guardian mode. To help celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Robotech, Toyark has posted the second photo shoot of the new line Max Sterling’s VF-1A Veritech Fighter.

Read on to check out the images as well as my thoughts on the figure.

Robotech 30th Anniversary VF-1A Max Sterling’s Veritech Fighter

Pros
Tons of Accessories
Solid stand that allows for excellent poseability
Figure stands well on it’s own

Cons
Stand does not hold the front heavy weight of the Battloid mode well
Plastic quality could have been better

Overall
This for me is a cool alternative to grabbing the much more expensive die cast versions of the Veritech Fighters. The stand provides a very high level of poseability, along with the awesome selection of weapons, and hands, you can get a lot out of the set. I have been out of collecting Robotech for a long time, but given the scale, you can find a home for these if you have limited collection space.

    Looks cool, but buying this means I am supporting Harmony Gold, which means I am supporting criminals who have stolen the enjoyment of the Macross series away from everyone outside of Japan. When they start to give us all of the Macross series on BD, then I'll let go of my HG embargo.

    Aren't these just re-releases of the brittle as hell 1:100 line they did years ago?

    That may be true but I have not collected Robotech in a long time so I'm out of the current loop.

    yeah

    These may seem neat new out of the box but give it a few month and those joints will start to fall apart. The joints are so poorly designed.

    General rule of thumb for any fan, Robotech or Macross: Toynami is bad juju. Pass recommended.

    Jetfire looks good....oh wait.

    Not that I have collected these, but if they did a Macross Plus two set from a different producer in this size class, I'd be all over it.

    Bandai's Hi-Metal vf-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie is the closest you're gonna get.

    Is it me, or is the color off on Max's veritech? I thought it was mostly blue?
