Takatoku Toys - Post-demise

Post-demise

After Takatoku's demise, their designs ended up in the hands of various other companies. Bandai got a hold of the Kanzen henkei VF-1 Valkyrie, releasing toys for the 1984 movie The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? and made various re-issues later on. Hasbro also acquired the rights to the Valkyrie toy, which they used to make the character Jetfire while toys from Takatoku's Dorvack line were also converted into Transformers becoming Roadbuster and Whirl. Many Macross toys (but not the Kanzen Henkei) would be used by Matchbox for their Robotech line. 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.
