Elintseeker VE-01 from Bandai 1985
 VE-1 Elintseeker (1/55 Valkyrie) (MCRS-B-03)
Here we have a unique design in the world of Macross Valkyrie toys. For a flicker of a moment Do You Remember Love (Robotech the anime move for us Americans) featured this awesome toy. I have always considered it a fascinating concept to take a USAF AWAX radar plane and turn it into a futuristic toy.
Bandai's Elintseeker has a unique head turret and radar dish design. Body armor is also unique as well as the flat gray colorations. Toy transformations are just like our standard Takatoku, or Bandai 1:55 scale toys. The toy also features a unique 2 seat cockpit design.
For those box art lovers, the outside art is done by Yuji Kaida. To me the artwork is phenomenal.
