I bought this toy becuase I was pretty darn sure it was a bootleg. Probably of a transformer, but with package art lifted from some Robotech series. I got it home, popped it out of the blister, and nearly snapped the right arm off of the figure. It's a bootleg, all right!
The problem is, that I don't know anything about the Macross line of toys. I know that this figure is from Macross - it came with a copy of the orignal Japanese instuction sheet...and the only english word on it is "Macross."
Luckily for me, Nam Ngo saw the review and was able to tell me exactly what this ship is!
Here's the eMail sent to me:
The particular toy that you showed is a bootleg of the Bandai VF-17S.
I hope that answers your question.

Boy, did this ever answer my questions! Do yourself a favor and swing my Nam's page....it's simply incredible!

As it is, I'm leaving the rest of the review pretty bare....see Nam's page for all the info you can need.
