Takatoku Toys

[1] When the real robot craze hit in the early 1980s Takatoku adapted by changing the style of their toys.

Up to this point transforming toys were usually rather crude and tended to focus purely on one mode at the expense of the other(s).

Thanks to good marketing the KH toy became a big hit and sold well over a million units.

Bandai got a hold of the Kanzen Henkei VF-1 Valkyrie, releasing toys for The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?

A little-known company known as Select Toys used many smaller Dorvack, Macross, Orguss, and a series of transforming animal robots that Takatoku never released and called them Convertors.
