i liked how they called it JETFIRE instead of SKYFIRE. ...and how they used the Valkarie from Macross as the toy :chuckles:

 

I wish they really did make a Skyfire, as he looked like in the cartoon. h:

 

it looked like that, but it dd look a lil strange to me (havent seen mine in yyears)

 

i thought macross copied jetfire

 

they did? who came out first?

 

Macross came out first. Takara was too cheap to make their own Skyfire, so they licensed the Macross toy and since it didn't quite look like the cartoon, called it Jetfire. Some of the first Jetfires in production actually have the macross symbol on the wing.

 

I have a Jetfire up on my shelf somewhere. No accessories, just the figure.

I rarely see him though since my other, better condition figures are in front of him.

 

to bring back this awesome thread....

i just got this today, alternators hound aka jeep wrangler

(excuse my horrible PS skills to put both forms in one pic)



i want to get the yellow swindle one too, since it actually has bigger tires and a brush guard on the front.

 

very nice! i like how they used the jeep and the name hound on this one. seems like a updated re-issue of the gen 1 hound :thumbup:
