Strange deculturing phenomenon of Super Strike Parts getting more attention than the valkyrie. The supply never seems to meet the demand even when Yamato did a reissue before calling it a day. What can I say? Nothing beats having
Strike Parts on VF-1S Hikaru if you remember the love?! Simple launchers/arm armor, extra leg armor, and the booster engines for a whole lot of difference. Attaching the upgrade parts are a breeze as they clipped on nicely. 'Super' to 'Strike' version simply by swapping the tip of the thruster with laser cannon. Remove the covers from the fast packs to reveal laser cannons, making it a strike pack. Lots of charm as the cover to the leg armor, booster and laser cannon. It also come with a sticker sheet with four colours green, red, black and blue skull squadron stickers on the thrusters depending one the valkyrie you are using on. Not to mention, you can also stick to the original Macross SDF logo. This is the original colour version and there is another stealth version which is even harder to obtain. Probably cost an arm or a leg. Lolz
This set of optional parts, including gunpods for Fighter mode, micromissile pods for the arms, propellant tanks and boosters, and much more!

Yes, the VF-1S Roy Focker is the first released. Nonetheless, Hikaru VF-1S strike is popular among those who watch the later movie.

This is the biggest transformable VF-1S till date I guess. The size give it a good area for more gimmicks. I bought Hi-Metal more for the novelty.
