Why it matters
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.
Key Facts
- Bandai Spirits will release the DX Chogokin VF-1J Compatible Armored Parts Set -STORE LIMITED EDITION- in April 2027.
- The DX Chogokin VF-1J Compatible Armored Parts Set is priced at 17,600 yen including tax.
- The set converts the separately sold DX Chogokin VF-1J Valkyrie from Super Dimension Fortress Macross into an Armored Valkyrie.
- The completed Battroid form measures about 280mm, or about 320mm including the backpack.
- The set is a Tamashii Nations Store exclusive and does not use die-cast material.
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.
The set is listed under Bandai Spirits' 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.
Two 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.
The 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.
