The set attaches to the separately sold Japan-exclusive DX Chogokin VF-1J Valkyrie from Super Dimension Fortress Macross and converts it into an Armored Valkyrie. The armor pieces have openable hatches on each section, and the set includes a replacement VF-1J head part with gray goggles, a pilot figure in space-use equipment, a cockpit seat for boarding, large gripping hands for left and right, and a base attachment. In Battroid form the figure measures about 280mm, or about 320mm including the backpack. Materials are ABS and PVC, and the product does not use die-cast material. The set is the second Macross item released as a Japan-exclusive Tamashii Nations Store product.","whyItMatters":"The armor is sold as a parts-only add-on, so the 17,600 yen price sits on top of the cost of the VF-1J Valkyrie that buyers must already own.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe set is listed under Bandai Spirits\u0026#39; Collectors Division and carries the copyright notice for 1982 Bigwest. It is a Tamashii Nations Store exclusive, meaning the TAMASHII NATIONS STORE flagship shop is the point of sale rather than general retail channels.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo outlets describe the same package contents: the armored parts, the replacement head with gray goggles, the seated pilot figure, the boarding cockpit seat, the large hands, and the base attachment. Both give the April 2027 release window and the 17,600 yen tax-included price. The height figures apply to the completed Battroid form, about 280mm on its own and about 320mm with the backpack mounted.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VF-1J Valkyrie itself is not included, and both listings state that the base figure is required to use the armor. The parts set follows an earlier Macross release handled the same way as a Japan-exclusive Tamashii Nations Store item.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The DX Chogokin Armored Parts Set carries no die-cast, so the 280mm Battroid is all ABS and PVC. Bandai Spirits is selling armor for a VF-1J Valkyrie it sells separately.","twitterPost":"The DX Chogokin Armored Parts Set has no die-cast parts, so the armor adds bulk to a VF-1J sold separately.","threadsPost":"The DX Chogokin Armored Parts Set is ABS and PVC with no die-cast material, so the Armored Valkyrie look comes entirely from plastic shells clipped onto a VF-1J Valkyrie that Bandai Spirits sells on its own. The 17,600 yen buys the armor, not the figure.","newsletterBlurb":"Bandai Spirits has opened a Tamashii Nations Store exclusive armor set that turns the DX Chogokin VF-1J Valkyrie into an Armored Valkyrie. The parts set ships in April 2027 at 17,600 yen, and the base Valkyrie is sold separately.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"Dengeki Hobby Web\",\"url\":\"https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/3230288/\",\"title\":\"Attach to the \\\"DX Chogokin\\\" VF-1J Valkyrie from \\\"Super Dimension Fortress Macross\\\" to become the impressive Armored Valkyrie!
