I'm sorry, but unfortunately I really don't remember. I do recall that it had a bizarre eagle-like 'helmet' mod that was attached to the back by the neck so you could swing it over the Valk head (not very well) or have it perched on top of the thing in fighter mode. I removed it, and it wasn't with it when I took the picture for the auction.
Kind of sorry I let it go. After that, I got back into collecting Macross valk knockoffs, like the endless army of little TT variable knockoffs, and those cheap plastic knockoffs of the Hi-Metal VF-1S.

x2. Italian gokin, lots-o-metal
x3. Yes this Golion is interchangeable with all the other chest-pincer bat-opp bots out there. It sucks yet rules.

I' d been watching that bot from Argentina and just now won it. It's kind of like a Junior Machinder Horde Trooper in my eyes so I figured I should get it.
I got something else on my watch list that'd blow your mind. Craziest thing I ever saw....

Well, I ended up passing and unfortunately, it looks like this beauty is going to a stranger...

Make no mistake, I'll always be in total awe of the real deal. Vintage Japanese toys are IMO the coolest, most interesting and most creative objects ever made. Watching the evolution of these crazy things from inconsequential children's toys to what has now become a pop culture industry has been truly fascinating. But the insane supply/demand and dearth of uncovered history has made the hunt less interesting to me. The thrill I got out of collecting as kid was discovering new, amazing stuff. These days, it's very difficult to get that. Hunting down this less than desirable junk simply gives me the same buzz as when I was hunting down those less than desirable J-Toys 30+ years ago.
I think this fugly stuff has real historical value as well, as a complement to the J-Toy's amazing success and influence. Especially the vintage fugliness....
But yeah, there is still some uncharted J-Toy territory and we are lucky to have people like yourself keeping a vigilant lookout.
